In dynasty, the WR position is constantly in flux. It changes like the wind. One week, Ceedee Lamb isn’t even a top-five dynasty WR, and the next, he’s knocking on Chase and Jefferson’s door, asking if there’s room for one more in the top tier. With that in mind, it’s important to do some of your own evaluating so that you aren’t constantly blown to and fro by the increasingly volatile market.

If you lost Joe Burrow and need a legitimate QB1 to give your team the necessary upside to win a championship, Dak is your guy. There is no better top-tier quarterback from a Dynasty price versus projected points perspective. Dak has been on an absolute frenzy lately, putting up 25 or more fantasy points in five of the last six games and facing a favorable schedule down the stretch. Dak is having a career year and could be the very piece you need to win a championship in 2023.

Dortch was a player I had high hopes for heading into the 2023 season after several impressive showings in 2022. His opportunities were limited last season, but in the games he saw more than a 75% snap share, Dortch averaged ten targets per game in this Arizona offense. He was an integral part of this passing attack, and not all of this was when Kyler was healthy; Dortch was producing late in the season with Colt McCoy, Trace McSorley, and David Blough as his quarterbacks. With only Marquise Brown clearly ahead of him on the depth chart, I thought Dortch has a real shot to earn himself an every-down role in this offense. However, that was far from the case when the 2023 season started.
Lockett has an impressive streak of five straight WR 2 or better (Top 24) Fantasy points per game seasons. He currently sits at WR28 on the season. He has been a victim of sub-par QB play, added target competition, and a tough pass defense schedule to date. The last part of this finally lightens up for the playoffs with an incredible slate of games for a Fantasy wide receiver. This also holds true for D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but since they both will cost first-round Dynasty draft capital, they likely aren’t acquirable on a tight budget.

We can’t all have a bounty of draft picks available for trade. So, how do we get a Louis Vuitton impact on a Dollar Store budget? This mini-series is intended to highlight players with favorable matchups for your Fantasy playoffs in Week 15, 16, and 17 that you can afford. This is an unspoken edge you can get on your league-mates as, more often than not, contenders will just be looking to acquire old players with a lofty fantasy point per game. Hopefully, you are not in a Dynasty league with a trade deadline. If you are, you should get that fixed with your commissioner for future years.

This is the second consecutive week Wicks has made our list, but it needs to be reiterated as the rookie continues to produce while flying under the radar. As we mentioned last week, the usage has not been there (less than 50% snaps played since Christian Watson returned), but the efficiency has certainly been there. Dontayvion has made his presence known every time he steps onto the field, making one explosive play after another.
Hello DFF members, I am Chris, and I am doing a “Rookie Roundup” series for the 2023 season. My primary space in fantasy centers around analytics, rookie models, and early career models, so this is something I should be able to make beneficial content out of. This will be released every two weeks, and I will keep you updated on how these rookies have been performing and how their values should be changing. I will provide my take on their current value. This should be used as a tool when buying or selling as what I think their “fair value” is. I would be trying to make moves for these players where you buy for less and sell for more, but if you can get the price I list, I do think it is still in your favor.

Xavier Gipson is a rookie UDFA out of Stephen F Austin, where he had an incredibly successful college career. Gipson finished his career for the Lumberjacks with 243 receptions, 4,305 yards, and 37 touchdowns over four seasons. He exceeded 1k receiving yards in his junior and senior seasons, but playing for an FCS program prevented the star wide receiver from fielding much interest from NFL scouts. However, Xavier proved the doubters wrong and made the 53-man roster for the New York Jets this year. He’s also seen his usage skyrocket in these past two weeks.
Hello, and welcome to another great DFF article. In this piece, I will be looking at a large majority of the WRs in the NFL and dissecting their performances so far this season. I will be looking at all WRs who have played 200 or more snaps this season. I used PlayerProfiler.com’s Data Analysis package to pull stats like Target Share, Target Rate, and Yards per Route Run for these players. Then, I sorted them from worst to best, and I will highlight anything that I thought was interesting. Hopefully, we can use this to identify buys and sells, as well as fraudulent producers, which players are really good, and which are really bad. Let’s dive right into the numbers.

Noah Brown appeared to be a fringe NFL wide receiver at best through the first five years of his career. It wasn’t until last season in Dallas that he showed any real signs of life. After the departure of veteran star Amari Cooper, the WR2 spot was wide open for the taking, and Brown surprised many by filling that hole. He finished the 2022 season with a respectable 43 receptions, 555 yards, and three touchdowns, all career highs.
