| Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | Believe it or not, just because I have Jefferson at number two, doesn't mean I hate him. Jefferson is fanatstic. If you are looking for weekly consistency and elite target totals, he's your guy. Although I prefer the upside of Ja'Marr Chase, Jefferson has a more solidified role on the offense and doesn't have to compete with Tee Higgins. It's a coin flip for which WR you want to take at the start of the draft. | Give me a second to wipe the egg from my face. Kupp is outstanding, I'll admit I thought there was no way he could repeat his production from 2021, and he did just that before getting injured. With Matthew Stafford coming back and the team floundering to find other offensive weapons, Kupp is as locked and loaded as ever. Although he is my third WR, he deserves to be in the same conversation as the big two. |
| Justin Herrera TSS Fantasy | There's no doubt that he's the best wide receiver across all formats. | |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | The Vikings WR finished first in fantasy points scored, 10th in target share (28%), third in yards per route run (2.70) and second in expected fantasy points per game (15.9) in 2022. His 11.1 expected TDs and 26 red-zone targets tied for first among all WRs. With Adam Thielen's TD presence gone - and Jefferson coming off a curiously low 8-TD year (two fewer than in 2021) - I expect him to score inside the double-digits in 2023. | Cooper Kupp was originally in the S Tier of my 2023 WR rankings, but I moved him down in regard to concerns about Matthew Stafford's health. However, I still think Kupp will produce at an extremely high level if he and Stafford are healthy. Last year he led all WRs in points per game (18.4) while commanding the league's second-highest target share (31.3%) before his injury. |
| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | Last December here's what Michael Lombardi, former NFL executive said about Matthew Stafford's health on his podcast, "The GM Shuffle". "There's a good chance, I would say better than 70% that Matthew Stafford doesn't play next year. I have a sense that...it's more than a hunch, it's talking to people in the league that maybe Stafford's body is breaking down." After seeing that statement from Michael Lombardi, unless those opinions have changed, the thought of drafting or ranking ANY Rams offensive player high scares the living hell out of me. Lombardi is pretty dialed in when it comes to news in the league. I said it last year because I was concerned about his elbow and I'll say it again in 2023, if Stafford breaks down, the Rams' offense falls off a cliff. And last time I checked, Cooper Kupp is a big part of the Rams' offense. Bust | |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Justin Jefferson was a fantasy monster last season. He was the WR2 in fantasy points per game, ranking first in targets, first in red zone targets, and ninth in deep targets. Jefferson was a top-five-scoring fantasy wideout in 52.9% of his games. He was also eighth in open rate (per FiveThirtyEight). Jefferson is a top-three fantasy pick in 2023 that will see more single coverage with the arrival of Jordan Addison. He looks primed for a career year. | Despite the entire Rams' offense cratering around him last season, Cooper Kupp was on his way to another fantastic season before being shut down with a high ankle sprain. With the Rams out of the playoff picture and the team in shambles, Los Angeles put Kupp on the shelf. Kupp ranked third in target share (31.0%), fourth in target per route run rate (31.5%), and 12th in air yard share (34.5%). All of this culminated in another WR1 finish in fantasy points per game. With Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford returning for 2023, Kupp should be a top-three fantasy wideout again. |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | Has averaged 108 catches, 1600+ recYds, 8.7 TDs and 0 DNPs in 3 NFL seasons | Returns from injury to pick where up he's left off in his past 26 games (220 catches, 2759 recYds, 23 TDs) |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Jefferson was a target monster in 2022, tallying 179 targets, 124 receptions, 1,771 receiving yards, and 8 TDs. Jefferson is the best receiver in the NFL at this point and he should be an elite WR1 for years to come. | How many fantasy players could finish 21st among fantasy wide receivers, despite missing 7 games? That is what Kupp did in 2022, finishing with 75 receptions for 812 yards and 6 TDs in 9 fantasy games. Kupp had an ankle injury and was shutdown with the Rams out of contention. He should be ready to roll as an elite WR1 in 2023. |
