With mandatory minicamps and training camps right around the corner, we are officially entering the thick of the hype season. Opinions will begin to shift on a variety of players over the coming weeks once we get a glimpse of who might have a clearer path to playing time than we originally believed or who is simply dominating their practice reps and potentially earning a larger role than we may have thought.
We’re diving into 20 players to keep an eye on as they’re poised to rise up draft boards from their current average draft position (ADP) over the course of this summer. And below is a closer look at a few players.

Which Players Will Move up Draft Boards? (2023 Fantasy Football)
All average draft position referenced courtesy of DLF.
Jordan Love (QB – GB) – ADP 182.67 | QB23
There is a new QB1 in Green Bay following the departure of Aaron Rodgers, and with even a moderately impressive summer, Jordan Love should rise from his current price in startup drafts. We know Love has all the measurables and has shown flashes in the limited opportunities provided to him, but he also has age on his side, as he’ll only turn 25 this season. With several new additions surrounding him at wide receiver and tight end, the arrow is pointing up on Love.
D’Andre Swift (RB – PHI) – ADP 60.33 | RB19
Gone are the days of spending a first or second-round startup selection on D’Andre Swift. His price tag has grown much more palatable following struggles with injury and subsequently finding himself traded from the Lions. He lands in one of the most explosive offenses in football and should see his value rebound once fantasy managers get a glimpse of him in the Eagles’ scheme. He likely won’t return to top-12 value, but he could get back to flirting with the RB1/RB2 line.
Jerome Ford (RB – CLE) – ADP 172.00 | RB55
All signals are pointing to Jerome Ford being the RB2 in Cleveland, and that’s a role that we know can provide fantasy value even alongside locked-in starter Nick Chubb. There’s an easy path to finding at least 120 attempts for Ford, potentially even more if he can impress with his opportunity. He’s an explosive runner who could pair nicely with Chubb and can be had exceptionally cheaply in startup drafts.
