NFL Fantasy Football rankings 2023: 5 potential 1st overall picks ft. Justin Jefferson

NFL Fantasy Football potential 1st overall picks 2023

#3 - Austin Ekeler

AFC Wild Card Playoffs - Los Angeles Chargers v Jacksonville Jaguars

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has been a fantasy superstar for a couple of seasons now, and will likely keep the streak up in 2023.

Ekeler is a prototypical dual-threat back, as he had 372.7 fantasy points in 2022, the most amongst all RBs. He had 915 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, along with 722 receiving yards and a further five scores.

Despite requesting a trade during the offseason, Ekeler looks to be sticking around to once again team up with Justin Hebert and the electrifying Chargers offense.

#2 - Christian McCaffrey

NFC Championship - San Francisco 49ers v Philadelphia Eagles

The San Francisco 49ers made a splash during the 2022 season after trading for Carolina Panthers star RB Christian McCaffrey.

McCaffrey is one of the best running backs in football but after struggling with injuries in recent years, was back to his best in 2022. McCaffrey had 351 fantasy points, and only became a more viable asset after moving to the 49ers.

Expect him to be right near the top of most draft boards when drafts roll around.

#1 - Justin Jefferson

Minnesota Vikings v Green Bay Packers

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson might just be the safest bet if you're selecting 1st overall in your fantasy league.

Jefferson has been arguably the best wideout in football ever since being drafted back in 2020, and was the best fantasy WR last season after amassing 367.3 points.

The 2022 NFL Offensive Player of the Year led the entire league in yards and receptions as he continued to develop his rapport with QB Kirk Cousins.

At just 23-years-old Jefferson has plenty left in the tank, and his 2023 fantasy owners may just become league winners.
