Are you growing tired of redraft and introductory dynasty fantasy football? Want to dig deeper and draft a pipeline of young prospects while they’re still amateurs? Boy, do I have a game for you!
Devy (developmental dynasty league) is a deeper dynasty league that allows fantasy managers to draft and stash prospects while they’re still in college. Scott Fish of Scott Fish Bowl fame created Devy back in the 1990s, and the format has been growing in popularity ever since.
Devy isn’t for the weak or faint of heart. It takes a ton of research, and you have to decipher the good info from the bad. Plenty of highly-touted high school prospects never make an impact, while plenty of great college players aren’t legitimate NFL prospects.
In devy, you’re going to swing and miss more than usual. It’s just the reality of the game. Don’t beat yourself up if you do, and never quit investing in those devy prospects. In these leagues, hitting on a handful of devy prospects can flip your team from pretender to contender. Here are the top 20 devy assets you should be targeting this year. And here are a few player profiles from the list.

Top Devy Prospects (2023 Fantasy Football)
13. Evan Stewart (WR – Texas A&M)
Low passing volume at Texas A&M impacted his overall numbers, but he led the Aggies with 649 receiving yards during his freshman campaign. A jump in volume likely leads to a jump in production.
14. Drew Allar (QB – Penn State)
After the top two quarterback prospects, there’s a bit of a tier break. Next up on that list is Penn State quarterback Drew Allar. Although not nearly as accomplished as Williams and Maye, Allar has the upside and opportunity to be next in line at the quarterback position.
15. Branson Robinson (RB – Georgia)
Football fans might remember Georgia running back Branson Robinson from the time he went viral as a 17-year-old. At the time, Robinson was benching 415 lbs, squatting 615 lbs, and deadlifting 720 lbs. And that was in high school!
