Redraft ADP Values
Skyy Moore (WR – KC): ADP 162.3
The former Western Michigan star was a popular rookie pick last year. However, Moore had a disappointing 2022 season, averaging only two half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The rookie finished fourth in targets and fifth in routes route among the Chiefs’ wide receivers. Yet, the second-year player has been the talk of the offseason programming in Kansas City.
Andy Reid said the team has high expectations for Moore. Meanwhile, Kadarius Toney recently underwent knee surgery, putting his Week 1 status in doubt. Moore is the only Chiefs wide receiver that fantasy players should draft this year.
Juwan Johnson (TE – NO): ADP 169.3
New Orleans recently brought back Jimmy Graham despite the veteran turning 37 in November and not playing last season. The last time he had more than 460 receiving yards in a season was in 2018. Graham is more likely not to make the final roster than have any fantasy impact this year. Meanwhile, Johnson led the Saints in receiving touchdowns while finishing top three in receiving yards and targets last season. Furthermore, he finished third among tight ends in receiving touchdowns.
While New Orleans brought back Michael Thomas, the veteran is unlikely to stay healthy. More importantly, Darren Waller was Derek Carr’s favorite weapon in Las Vegas. Johnson could quickly build the same connection with the veteran quarterback.
Kenneth Gainwell (RB – PHI): ADP 181.3
After losing Miles Sanders this offseason, Philadelphia signed Rashaad Penny and traded for D’Andre Swift. However, the veteran running backs are arguably the two most injury-prone players in the NFL. Penny has missed nearly half of the matchups in his career because of various injuries. Meanwhile, Swift can’t handle a full workload without getting hurt.
Their injury history opens the door for Gainwell to have an expanded role this season. The best thing fantasy players can do with the final draft pick is shoot for the most upside possible. Gainwell has two injury-prone running backs ahead of him on the depth chart and could find himself the starter at some point in 2023.
