Before we get to the top 100 players overall for PPR leagues in 2023, a few quick notes for those most patient of folks who have yet to draft.

The first is this: get your guys (within reason). Tools like ADP and rankings are just that—tools. They are not infallible guides guaranteed to lead you to fantasy success.

If you’re a diehard Cleveland Browns fan who wants to draft Nick Chubb second overall, do it. It’s not that wacky. If you’re convinced that Travis Kelce is worth the first overall pick, pull the trigger. An argument can be made he is.

Now, this doesn’t mean you should draft a player with a seventh-round ADP in Round 2. That’s just wasting draft capital. But it’s your team. Make it yours. The only person who has to live with the consequences of your draft is you.

Fantasy football is supposed to be fun. It’s a lot more fun when you draft the players whom you want.

The second note is the most important thing you can be during your draft—flexible. It’s good to have a plan heading into the draft. But circumstances tend to muck up fantasy draft plans with alarming regularity. If you head into a draft thinking you’ll go “Zero RB,” that’s fine—unless seven other managers have the same idea.

At that point, either you’re reaching for wideouts to stick to the plan, or you can pivot and get great value with the running backs that everyone is ignoring.

Value is the key to a successful fantasy draft. Sometimes the key is to let it come to you as opposed to chasing it.
