Hello DFF members, I am Chris, and I am doing a rookie round-up 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 change. Let’s dive right into the recap of the season’s first month for the prominent rookies.

With the preseason just one short week away, it’s almost time to see these rookies take the field and prove their worth. One subject of debate is which rookie wide receiver will emerge as the top producer in Year 1. In the dynasty community, the overwhelming consensus is that Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the clear rookie WR1. But for Redraft, BestBall, or even Dynasty owners putting all their chips in for 2023, who should be bet on as the top producer in Year 1? I’m here to break down some numbers and answer that question.

Marvin Mims burst onto the scene as a freshman at Oklahoma with a stellar season of 610 yards and nine touchdowns. This put him squarely into the conversation as one of the top wide receivers in the 2023 draft class. Mims is a big play threat. His 20.1 yards per reception were the third most in the country for 2023. For PPR formats, he is not the most desirable archetype of a wide receiver. His reception totals are relatively low and this can lead to inconsistency in his game-to-game performance. In dynasty best ball formats he is of more interest.

There is no shortage of annual narratives that develop within the hive mind of the fantasy football (FF) community. Some narratives last for several seasons, and some attach themselves to specific players. That is not to say that the hive mind can’t be useful, or that narratives that form are necessarily wrong. Quite the opposite happens a lot of the time. The wisdom of the crowd is something that can be leveraged to improve one’s fantasy performance. But following the groupthink mindset can be treacherous, and has led to what I think are some systemic misunderstandings within the hobby.
