QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tua Tagovailoa	551.3	358.3	4079.6	28.12	11.58	35.4	106.2	1.59	272.66
Mike White	54.5	33.8	384.2	1.96	1.64	6.3	6.3	0.13	21.34

Tua Tagovailoa: Tagovailoa sustained multiple concussions, causing him to miss five games (counting a playoff loss) in 2022, and he even considered retiring after last season. When healthy, however, he posted career numbers and led the NFL in TD% (6.3), Y/A (8.9) and passer rating (105.5). Excluding the games he missed or left early (Weeks 4-6 and 17-18), Tagovailoa scored the seventh-most fantasy points over that span. Of course, durability and the potential for missed time factors into his 2023 outlook, but there is plenty of optimism if his health cooperates.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Raheem Mostert	146	671.6	4.23	20.2	160.7	1	124.71
De'Von Achane	91.7	412.7	2.34	22.2	180.8	1.4	92.89
Jeff Wilson Jr.	89.7	412.6	2.51	14.5	111.6	0.8	79.53
Salvon Ahmed	31.7	130	0.87	3.7	26.8	0.2	23.95
Alec Ingold	2.7	4.1	0.14	13.5	93.7	0.8	22.17
Chris Brooks	2.1	8.8	0.05	1.2	8.9	0.1	3.27

Raheem Mostert: Mostert missed only one game in 2022, but it was just the second season of his career where he didn't miss significant time. He has played only 61 games over the past six seasons. Without any new additions to the backfield, Mostert should get 10-12 touches per game when everyone is healthy, but more than that for as long as Wilson is out. Mostert has never averaged less than 4.9 YPC in a season.

De'Von Achane: Achane has elite speed, as the former Texas A&M running back (and track star) posted a 4.32 40-yard dash at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. While his frame suggests he won't handle a high volume of carries in between the tackles, it's a huge positive that Mike McDaniel lobbied for the third-round pick. Given the durability concerns for Wilson and Mostert, Achane could be thrust into a larger role than expected as a rookie.

Jeff Wilson Jr.: Wilson was placed on short-term IR, making him eligible to return in Week 5. Following Wilson's midseason trade to Miami last year, both Mostert (Week 12) and Wilson (Week 15) missed one game each. In the games in which they both appeared, Wilson (82 touches) edged Mostert (80) in workload, so it's possible that he becomes the 1A of Miami's three-headed backfield at some point during the season.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tyreek Hill	109.8	1368.2	8	6.9	35.5	0.35	245.37
Jaylen Waddle	80.8	1124.9	7.3	2.9	18.9	0.12	199.3
Braxton Berrios	41	457.5	3.4	1.7	12.1	0.04	88.1
Cedrick Wilson	17.3	200.9	1.5	0	0	0	37.74
Erik Ezukanma	11.2	131.7	1	0	0	0	24.77
River Cracraft	6.7	82.6	0.6	0	0	0	15.21

Tyreek Hill: After transitioning from Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City's high-powered offense, the drop in production that many forecast for Hill never materialized. In fact, the explosive wideout averaged more than 100 receiving yards per game for the first time ever as he set career highs in targets (170), receptions (119) and yards (1,710) in 2022. Per NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Hill won't face any disciplinary action from the league.

Jaylen Waddle: With Tyreek Hill setting career highs in targets, receptions and yards, it's not a surprise that Waddle's targets dropped to 117 (in 2022) from 140 (in 2021). That said, he was utilized further downfield as his ADOT jumped to 12.7 (from 7.0), per PFF, and he led the NFL in yards per reception (18.1). He finished as fantasy's WR7 overall and was 13th on a per-game basis (13.0).

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Durham Smythe	31.4	321.4	2.7	64.04
Tyler Kroft	10.2	102.7	0.8	20.17
Julian Hill	8.6	91.5	0.7	17.65

Durham Smythe: Even though he tops the depth chart, it's unlikely that Smythe produces a fantasy-relevant season. After all, Mike Gesicki had only 32/362/5 receiving for the Dolphins last season.

Jeff Wilson Jr.: Following Wilson's midseason trade to Miami, both Raheem Mostert (Week 12) and Wilson (Week 15) missed one game each. In the games in which they both appeared, Wilson (82 touches) edged Mostert (80) in workload. Going into the 2023 season, I project Wilson to maintain a relatively slight edge. Clouding the outlook for both has been Miami's consistent interest in various free agents or trade candidates (e.g., Jonathan Taylor) and the addition of De'Von Achane, their speedy third-round rookie.

Raheem Mostert: Mostert missed only one game in 2022, but it was just the second season of his career where he didn't miss significant time. He has played only 61 games over the past six seasons. Without any new additions to the backfield, Mostert should get 10-12 touches per game as long as he's healthy, and he's never averaged less than 4.9 YPC in a season.

De'Von Achane: Achane has elite speed, as the former Texas A&M running back (and track star) posted a 4.32 40-yard dash at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. While his frame suggests he won't handle a high volume of carries in between the tackles, it's a huge positive that Mike McDaniel lobbied for the third-round pick. Even though both Wilson and Mostert are in front of him on the depth chart, Achane could be thrust into a larger role than expected as a rookie given the durability histories of Wilson and Mostert. Speaking of injuries, however, Achane is still dealing with a shoulder injury.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Tyreek Hill	109.8	1372.6	8	6.9	35.5	0.35	245.81

In fact, the explosive wideout averaged more than 100 receiving yards per game for the first time ever as he set career highs in targets (170), receptions (119) and yards (1,710) in 2022. It's still unclear if Hill will eventually face a suspension for a June 18th incident, which has been resolved from a legal standpoint.

Durham Smythe	31.4	325.9	2.8	0	0	0	65.09
Julian Hill	8.6	93.7	0.8	0	0	0	18.47

Durham Smythe: The Dolphins have only two healthy tight ends on their initial 53-man roster, so Smythe is the runaway favorite to lead Miami's tight ends in fantasy points. That said, it's unlikely that Smythe produces a fantasy-usable season. After all, Mike Gesicki had only 32/362/5 receiving for the Dolphins last season.

2023 Fantasy Football 12-Team Half-PPR Mock Draft - 1st Pick

The best way to become good at something is to practice. So, what should you do if you want to draft a better fantasy football team?

Practice, of course!

Leading up to the start of the 2023 NFL season, we will use the Fantasy Football Mock Draft Simulator to complete fantasy football mock drafts.

We will use a variety of scoring formats — point per reception (PPR), half-PPR, standard scoring and even 2-QB leagues — and league sizes. The goal is to provide you with a good representation of the team that you may be able to construct given your league settings and the rationale of why we made the picks we did.

> Our mocks will be tracked here: Fantasy Football Mock Drafts.

That said, nothing beats practicing yourself so (check out the simulator) and complete a mock in a matter of minutes.

Half-PPR Mock Draft: 12 Teams, 1st Pick

1.01 - Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings

Jefferson is an easy choice for me at 1.01. Not only has he improved his production in each successive season, but he broke Randy Moss's record for receiving yards through a player's first three seasons. During those three seasons, he's racked up a total of 324 receptions for 4,825 yards and 25 touchdowns.

2.12 - Jaylen Waddle, WR, Miami Dolphins

With Tyreek Hill setting career highs in targets, receptions and yards, it's not a surprise that Waddle's targets dropped to 117 (in 2022) from 140 (in 2021). That said, he was utilized further downfield as his ADOT jumped to 12.7 (from 7.0), per PFF, and he led the NFL in yards per reception (18.1). He finished as fantasy's WR7 overall and was 13th on a per-game basis (13.0).

3.01 - Aaron Jones, RB, Green Bay Packers

Before last season, Jones had three consecutive seasons with double-digit touchdowns. That said, he set career highs in rushing yards (1,121) and receptions (59) in 2022. Transitioning from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love adds some uncertainty, but Jones has 47-plus receptions in four consecutive seasons and 1,459-plus YFS in three of his past four seasons. Maybe this is a bit early, but Jones is undervalued heading into the 2023 season.

4.12 - James Conner, RB, Arizona Cardinals

Conner has missed multiple games in all six of his NFL seasons including four games in 2022. In his two years with the Cardinals, he has a total of 385 carries for 1,534 yards (3.98 YPC) and 22 touchdowns while adding 83 catches for 675 yards and four touchdowns. The good news is that he should dominate backfield touches, as long as he remains healthy, even if his number of scoring opportunities will likely be down (perhaps significantly).

5.01 - Mike Williams, WR, Los Angeles Chargers

Excluding his rookie season (2017), Williams has averaged at least 14.2 yards per reception every year. While he missed four games last year, his 4.8/68.8 per-game numbers in 2022 were nearly identical to his 2021 career highs (4.8/71.6). Per PFF, Williams averaged 1.93 yards per route run in 2022, and that was just shy of his 2021 career high (1.97). Within the team's new offense, Williams should be moved around more often including more opportunities from the slot.

6.12 - Diontae Johnson, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

Johnson has more than 85 catches and 140 targets while leading the team in receiving yards in three consecutive seasons. Despite scoring 15 touchdowns in the previous two seasons (2020-21), Johnson set the NFL record in 2022 for most receptions (86) without a touchdown. In other words, some positive touchdown regression should be expected.

7.01 - Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars

What a difference a year (and a new coaching staff) made for Lawrence! The 2021 NFL Draft's top overall pick completed 66.3% of his pass attempts for 7.0 yards per attempt, while throwing 25 touchdowns and only seven interceptions in 2022. (That compares to 59.6%, 6.0 Y/A and 12:17 TD-INT ratio in 2021.) In fact, Lawrence improved considerably as the season progressed — 69.7% completion rate, 7.4 Y/A and a 15-to-two TD-INT ratio from Weeks 9-18. Bigger things could/should be in store for Lawrence in 2023, as Calvin Ridley joins Christian Kirk, coming off career numbers (84/1108/8 in 2022), Evan Engram, and Travis Etienne.

8.12 - Antonio Gibson, RB, Washington Commanders

Fumbling issues plagued Gibson's 2021 season, and he was inefficient last season (3.66 YPC) with career lows in both touches (195) and yards from scrimmage (899). Gibson has a minimum of 36 catches in each season with a career-high 46 last year and coach Ron Rivera referred to him as a "matchup nightmare for the opponent." With J.D. McKissic no longer on the roster, Gibson expects his role to include "third-down back, end-of-game situation, end-of-half situation and things like that."

9.01 - Khalil Herbert, RB, Chicago Bears

Chances are that Justin Fields will lead the Bears in rushing, but Herbert has been highly efficient — career 5.02 YPC on 232 carries — through his first two NFL seasons. Given the volume of rush attempts by Fields, it should come as no surprise that the Bears ranked last in the NFL in running back receptions and 31st in running back targets in 2022. Even if Herbert leads the Bears running backs in both rushing and receiving, which I currently project, it's possible that fantasy managers are left wanting a bit more.

10.12 - Evan Engram, TE, Jacksonville Jaguars

While Engram missed 14 games in his first three seasons (2017-19), he has missed only two games over the past three years. He posted career highs in receptions (73), yards (766) and catch rate (74.5%) in 2022.

11.01 - Jerick McKinnon, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

McKinnon had nearly as many targets (71) as carries (72) last season, and he was extremely effective as a receiver. He ended the year with 56 catches for 512 yards (9.1 Y/R) and nine of his 10 touchdowns were receiving scores. While I have projected McKinnon for considerably fewer touchdowns in 2023, he could be a solid bye-week fill-in for this team, at a minimum.

12.12 - Chuba Hubbard, RB, Carolina Panthers

Miles Sanders played a full 17-game last season, but he's currently dealing with a hamstring injury and appeared in only 12 games in both 2020 and 2021. While Sanders should be ready to go before Week 1, Hubbard would likely handle the largest share of the workload in the event that Sanders were to miss any time, and he averaged 4.9 YPC last season.

13.01 - Gus Edwards, RB, Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens won't be as run-heavy as they have historically been, but Edwards has averaged 5.2 yards per carry on his 501 carries since entering the league in 2018. Especially if J.K. Dobbins were to miss any time, Edwards would have quite a bit of upside and immediately become an RB2.

14.12 - Buffalo Bills DST

15.01 - Tyler Higbee, TE, Los Angeles Rams

Higbee set career highs in targets (108, fourth-most among TEs) and receptions (72, fifth) in 2022. While Cooper Kupp missed nearly half of the season, Higbee's per-game numbers were actually better with Kupp (4.9/43 on 7.2 targets) than without Kupp (3.5/29 on 5.4 targets). At a position where volume is inconsistent outside of the elite options, there is value in the consistency of Higbee's volume.

16.12 - Jason Sanders, K, Miami Dolphins

Salvon Ahmed	12.1	49.6	0.33	1.2	9	0.1	9.04

Jeff Wilson Jr.: Following Wilson's midseason trade to Miami, both Raheem Mostert (Week 12) and Wilson (Week 15) missed one game each. In the games in which they both appeared, Wilson (82 touches) edged Mostert (80) in workload. Going into the 2023 season, I project Wilson to maintain a relatively slight edge, but the addition of De'Von Achane, their speedy third-round rookie, (and a potential signing of Dalvin Cook) only clouds the outlook even further.

Raheem Mostert: Mostert missed only one game in 2022, but it was just the second season of his career where he didn't miss significant time. He has played only 61 games over the past six seasons. Without any new additions to the backfield, Mostert should get 10-12 touches per game as long as he's healthy, and he's never averaged less than 4.9 YPC in a season.

De'Von Achane: Achane has elite speed, as the former Texas A&M running back (and track star) posted a 4.32 40-yard dash at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. While his frame suggests he won't handle a high volume of carries in between the tackles, it's a huge positive that Mike McDaniel lobbied for the third-round pick. So, even if both Wilson and Mostert start in front of Achane on the depth chart, Achane could be thrust into a larger role than expected as a rookie, especially given the durability histories of Wilson and Mostert.

In fact, the explosive wideout averaged more than 100 receiving yards per game for the first time ever as he set career highs in targets (170), receptions (119) and yards (1,710) in 2022. Hill was involved in a June 18th incident, which was under both police and league investigation, but attorneys for both sides issued a statement saying they have "resolved their differences."

2023 Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 12 Teams, Half-PPR, 3rd Pick

The best way to become good at something is to practice. So, what should you do if you want to draft a better fantasy football team?

Practice, of course!

Leading up to the start of the 2023 NFL season, we will use the Fantasy Football Mock Draft Simulator to complete fantasy football mock drafts.

> Our mocks will be tracked here: Fantasy Football Mock Drafts.

That said, nothing beats practicing yourself so (check out the simulator) and complete a mock in a matter of minutes.

Half-PPR Mock Draft: 12 Teams, 3rd Pick

1.03 - Austin Ekeler, RB, Los Angeles Chargers

Ekeler's elite production is game-script independent as one of the league's best receiving backs and he has led the NFL in touchdowns in each of the past two seasons with a total of 38 during that span. Ekeler led all running backs in half-PPR fantasy points in 2022, and he finished second behind Jonathan Taylor in 2021.

2.10 - Jaylen Waddle, WR, Miami Dolphins

With Tyreek Hill setting career highs in targets, receptions and yards, it's not a surprise that Waddle's targets dropped to 117 (in 2022) from 140 (2021). That said, he was utilized further downfield as his ADOT jumped to 12.7 (from 7.0), per PFF, and he led the NFL in yards per reception (18.1). He finished as fantasy's WR7 overall.

3.03 - Tee Higgins, WR, Cincinnati Bengals

Other than perhaps the Dolphins with Hill and Waddle, no team has a better WR duo than the Bengals have with Ja'Marr Chase and Higgins. Entering his age-24 season, Higgins already has three years of consistent production with a total of 215 catches for 3,028 yards and 19 touchdowns. He has a minimum of three catches in 38 of the 41 games in which he played at least 50% of the offensive snaps.

MORE: Cincinnati Bengals Mock Draft Roundup

4.10 - Aaron Jones, RB, Green Bay Packers

5.03 - George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers

Based on his talent alone, Kittle should be targeted more than he will be. Even so, he has finished as a top-four fantasy tight end in four of the past five seasons. The exception was when he missed eight games in 2020, but he finished third on a PPG basis that season behind Travis Kelce and Darren Waller. The other concern with Kittle is he has missed multiple games in four consecutive seasons, but he has averaged 70.4/947.8/5.8 per 17 games over the past five years.

6.10 - Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The obvious concern for Evans (and the passing offense) is replacing the retired Tom Brady with Baker Mayfield. Perhaps his streak of 1,000-yard seasons ends at nine, but I'm comfortable with him as my WR3 even if his week-to-week volatility increases.

MORE: Bucs draft a QB in our way-too-early 2024 NFL Mock Draft

7.03 - Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers

Herbert set career lows in passing in part due to Keenan Allen (seven games missed) and Mike Williams (four) missing significant time. Through three seasons, however, Herbert has averaged a 17-game pace of 4,696 yards, 31.3 touchdowns and 11.7 interceptions with another 237 rushing yards and three touchdowns. TCU rookie Quentin Johnston adds a vertical weapon to this offense, and more shots down the field will boost Herbert's upside. Through three seasons, he has finished as fantasy's QB9, QB2 and QB11, respectively.

8.10 - James Cook, RB, Buffalo Bills

Cook is one of Buffalo's biggest fantasy winners of the draft, as there was some projection that the Bills could target someone like Bijan Robinson if he slipped. (Of course, he didn't.) Topping the depth chart going into the 2023 season, there is a decent chance that Cook exceeds expectations.

MORE: 2023 NFL Draft Grades

9.03 - A.J. Dillon, RB, Green Bay Packers

Even if I didn't already roster Jones (in this mock), Dillon would have stand-alone fantasy value. He has finished as a top-30 fantasy running back in back-to-back seasons. During that span, Dillon has 435 touches including 62 receptions on 80 targets for 2,092 yards from scrimmage and 14 total touchdowns.

10.10 - Elijah Mitchell, RB, San Francisco 49ers

Mitchell would be a fine bye-week replacement for this team, but his real value would come if Christian McCaffrey were to miss any time. While CMC deserves to be drafted as pick 1.01 in fantasy drafts, we've seen how productive non-CMC backs (including Mitchell) have been when given the opportunity.

11.03 - D'Onta Foreman, RB, Chicago Bears

Foreman had only 37 rushing yards through the first six weeks of the season, but following the CMC trade, he became one of the few bright spots for Carolina with 191/877/5 rushing over the final 11 games of the season and performed as a top-24 back (all scoring formats) during that stretch. At a minimum, he's worth a bench stash in the 11th round.

12.10 - Romeo Doubs, WR, Green Bay Packers

13.03 - Hunter Renfrow, WR, Las Vegas Raiders

The duo of Doubs and Renfrow provide some depth as this team's WR4/5, respectively.

14.10 - Anthony Richardson, QB, Indianapolis Colts

Shane Steichen will cater Indy's offense to Anthony Richardson's skill set, similarly to how he put Jalen Hurts in position to thrive in Philadelphia. Ups and downs as a passer should be expected, but his elite rushing upside immediately puts him into the QB1 (top-12) mix. Justin Fields, as an example, finished 2022 as fantasy's QB6 (fifth on a PPG basis) despite ranking only 26th in the NFL in passing yards (2,242).

15.03 - Buffalo Bills DST

16.10 - Brandon McManus, K, Jacksonville Jaguars

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tua Tagovailoa	535	357.4	3798.5	23.27	10.43	54.5	158.1	3.27	259.59
Teddy Bridgewater	46.5	31.5	337.1	1.81	0.86	6.1	21.4	0.31	23

Tua Tagovailoa: This is shaping up to be a make-or-break season for Tua. With the team trading for Tyreek Hill and signing Terron Armstead, a lack of significant improvement could put the team in the market for a first-round quarterback in 2023. Even if the Dolphins employ a more run-focused offense under Mike McDaniel, Tagovailoa, at a minimum, should post better year-over-year stats given the much improved supporting cast.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Chase Edmonds	139.8	650.1	3.84	45.9	339.1	2.1	157.51
Raheem Mostert	161.9	777.1	5.67	16.5	132.3	0.9	138.61
Myles Gaskin	55.9	226.4	1.12	6.8	49.6	0.2	38.92
Salvon Ahmed	31.4	128.7	0.63	2.5	18.6	0.1	20.36
Alec Ingold	1.2	2.6	0.01	4.3	31	0.2	6.77

Chase Edmonds: The Dolphins have a new-look backfield with the additions of Edmonds and Raheem Mostert atop the depth chart. The former Cardinal has averaged more than 4.5 yards per carry in each of the past three seasons with a total of 96 catches for 713 yards over the past two seasons.

Raheem Mostert: Mostert follows McDaniel from San Francisco and has made the most of his opportunities, when healthy. The problem, of course, is that durability has eluded him. Mostert missed almost all of 2021 with a knee injury and played just eight games in 2020. If he's able to stay healthy for (close to) a full season, he should outperform his ADP.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tyreek Hill	88.7	1108.3	7.3	8.9	66.8	0.45	208.36
Jaylen Waddle	87.5	951.2	5.7	5.1	23	0.26	176.93
Cedrick Wilson	43.8	488	2.8	1.2	4.8	0.03	88.16
Trent Sherfield	13	155.1	0.9	0	0	0	27.41
Erik Ezukanma	8.2	99.3	0.7	0	0	0	18.23
Tanner Conner	1	10.3	0.1	0	0	0	2.13

Tyreek Hill: Tua Tagovailoa is a winner following Hill's trade to Miami, but that's not the case for Hill given the quarterback downgrade from Patrick Mahomes. Hill set a career high in receptions (111) last year with a non-rookie low in Y/R (11.2). Instead of being in the mix to be the first receiver off the board in fantasy drafts, Hill becomes a solid mid-tier WR1 option for fantasy managers.

Jaylen Waddle: Waddle (somewhat quietly) had a very impressive 2021 season with a rookie-record 104 receptions, as he went over the 1,000-yard mark and scored a total of seven touchdowns. It's unlikely that his 2022 numbers will be much better than they were in his rookie season with Hill in town (and there's a decent chance his numbers decline a bit), but he'll be a solid WR2 in both fantasy and real life.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Mike Gesicki	51.3	566.6	3.3	102.11
Durham Smythe	14.2	132.3	0.7	24.53
Hunter Long	3.3	35.2	0.2	6.37
Cethan Carter	1.9	18.6	0.1	3.41

Mike Gesicki: One of my favorite fantasy tight ends going into last season, Gesicki's 2022 outlook isn't as rosy with the team trading for Tyreek Hill and a new coaching staff that has a run-centric focus. (In fact, the team has reportedly brought up his name to other teams.) The athletic tight end projects to be third in line, at best, for targets behind Hill and second-year receiver Jaylen Waddle. Fantasy managers should expect plenty of week-to-week volatility from Gesicki, even if his final numbers are close to last year's production.

Alec Ingold	1.2	2.6	0.01	4.3	31	0.2	6.77

Chase Edmonds: The Dolphins have a new-look backfield with the additions of Edmonds, Raheem Mostert and Sony Michel, but the team gave Edmonds the largest contract and he's likely to be Miami's most productive fantasy back in 2022 even if he ranks third in carries. The former Cardinal has averaged more than 4.5 yards per carry in each of the past three seasons and has a total of 96 catches for 713 yards over the past two seasons.

Sony Michel: Michel toted the rock a league-high 129 times in the final six regular-season games (Weeks 13-18) for the Rams last season as he rushed for 540 yards and three touchdowns. While Michel enters the season behind Edmonds and Mostert on the depth chart, there could be an opportunity for him to become an early-down workhorse if/when Mostert misses time.
