The KOP rankings will help you understand why a person struggles in the NFL or why a particular player isn’t receiving more playing time. It will allow you to move off a specific player earlier than most people in the Dynasty Fantasy Football space. For example, while most managers hoped O.J. Howard would produce as a TE1 in his sophomore or third season; you have already traded him away.
Today I’m highlighting some rookies from the 2023 NFL Draft class that I am out on for fantasy purposes. The landing spot doesn’t matter, the situation doesn’t matter, I’m out, no matter what.
With the 2023 NFL Draft tonight, for some reason CJ Stroud’s name is being dragged through the mud, by either claims that are proven incorrect or just outright odd things. This is reminiscent of what happened to Bo Ridley Callahan in the movie Draft Day. In the words of Dick Moore, Wisconsin, and Bo Callahan’s college coach, “You kidding me with this? You trying to tear this kid down our what?”

Over the last few weeks, I revealed wide receivers 15-6 in my annual WR1 prospect model ratings to help prepare DFF readers for their dynasty rookie drafts. You can find 15-11 here and 10-6 here. This article covers the top five prospects before draft capital is figured in. I will publish a final version of the WR1 after the draft is complete so be on the lookout for that.
Today I want to discuss one of the most polarizing Superflex prospects of the 2023 incoming rookie class – Anthony Richardson (QB-Florida). There appears to be no in-between with how the fantasy community views AR15, he’s either the best QB of this rookie class or will be a total bust. I have planted my flag on the latter side, and am here to explain why.

For those new to the WR1 rating, this is a proprietary formula I developed to provide a data-driven forecast of future dynasty value for incoming rookie wide receivers. The WR1 model scores rookies on nine predictive metrics and then combines those individual metric scores into a total WR1 rating score. The goal is to provide a single easy-to-use score for those who don’t want to spend all the time dissecting different metrics.

I’ve either played or coached football for over 20 years, and my experience enters how I evaluate NFL Draft prospects. What can I trust him to do? In general, the number one thing a coach values the most in a person/player is trust. It isn’t athleticism or size. The KOP rankings will help you understand why a person struggles in the NFL or why a particular player isn’t receiving more playing time. It will allow you to move off a specific player earlier than most people in the Dynasty Fantasy Football space. For example, while most managers hoped for O.J. Howard to produce as a TE1 in his sophomore or third season; you have already traded him away.

We’ve all heard the analysis and comps on Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Zach Charbonnet. The consensus in the Dynasty community is that these guys should be the first three running backs off the board in rookie drafts. But where do we go from here? First, the landing spot and draft capital will drastically influence where these prospects should fall in our rankings. But there are still plenty of resources and data points at our disposal now that we can use to determine rookie value: college tape, analytics, NFL Combine results, and plenty more. So, let’s dig into one of my favorite “mid-tier” prospects in this year’s draft, Tank Bigsby.
