ns QB drafters are not accounting for Watson's rushing ability enough when it comes to his Outlook this season he averaged nearly 30 rushing yards per game last year among the seven quarterbacks who hit that threshold last season only one failed to crack the top 10 in fantasy points per drawback next up running backs and Derek Brown is doing cartwheels Coney power is projected to outscore Nick Chubb in PPR their projections are nearly identical in half PPR but Tony Pollard Reigns Supreme in the

full PPR scoring format because last year when Pollard was the guy from week 7 through 16 he ranked third in total fantasy points and yards from scrimmage on just a 58 snap share which ranked 20th among running backs that top three status matches exactly where the PPR projections have Pollard slated as the rb3 overall in 2023 with little competition in Dallas's backfield the projections suggests we may not be high enough on the Cowboys new rb1 on to the first rookie on the list Bijan Robinson is

projected to outscore Joe Mixon the Texas running back was selected eighth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons and his fantasy football appeal is salivating Tyler algier a former fifth round pick averaged nearly 18 carries and 96 rushing yards per game from week 13 onward in 2022. the Falcons offense ranked first in early down run rate last year providing Robinson a super high floor however I can't say the same for Mixon who finished as a top 12 running back in just three games

last year James Connor is projected to outscore miles Sanders nobody likes to admit it but James Connor is one of the cheapest workhorses in fantasy football at rb24 ADP even without calamari last year for a stretch of six games he averaged over 21 fantasy points per game Conor never finished outside the weekly top 15 running backs over that same time span Sanders ceiling projection is dependent on fec's Boost as a receiver which remains to be seen given his lack of juice in that department ove

r the past few seasons moving on to wide receivers Jalen waddle is projected to outscore Garrett Wilson this is where projections can help a ton it helps you acknowledge that a real-life number two wide receiver can be good if not better than a number one because not all offenses are created equal and in the case of waddle vs Wilson the Dolphins wide receiver's efficiency with tuatanga Viola helps him win this projection battle waddle average there are 15 fantasy points per game as the wide rece

iver 7 and posted over 85 receiving Arts per game with the southbok quarterback under Center better than the numbers Garrett Wilson posted with non-zac Wilson QBs in 2022 but that's not to say the wide receiver 2 beating a wide receiver one is the norm as you can see with our next projection battle as Amari Cooper is projected to outscore Devonta Smith the Brown's wide receiver one is the clear-cut number one option on the ascending Browns offense after a very impressive season he posts the 11th

highest Target chair at 26 in the NFL with nine receiving touchdowns he also finished second in air yard share his 2.11 yards per outrun was the second best Mark of his career meanwhile Devonta Smith's projection is weighing more of his range of outcomes alongside a healthy Dallas Goddard his number skyrocketed after the Eagles tight end this time before goddard's injury in week 10 Smith was the wide receiver 29 overall Christian Watson is projected to outscore Jerry Judy there are two wide rec

eivers that experience breakouts in 2022 but Watson gets the slight edge with him performing at a high level as a rookie from week 10 through week 18 Watson ranked first in yards per outrun over that same span Watson was the wide receiver nine and both total points and on a per game basis in PPR the second year wide receiver projects as green base Alpha wideout in 2023. Chris Godwin is projected to outscore DeAndre Hopkins two seasoned veterans are duking it out in the projection streets with bo

th entering the seasons accompanied by new quarterbacks But ultimately the projections side with Godwin and a Tampa Bay offense that will throw more than the Tennessee Titans Goblin may not reach wide receiver 11 status like he did last year from week four onward but a wide receiver two fantasy floor seems secure based on his forecasted receiving totals Deontay Johnson is projected to outscore Tyler Lockett Deontay Johnson has been a monster Target hog over the past three seasons ranking fifth i

n total targets his ability to earn opportunities puts him in a position to succeed in 2023 with positive touchdown regression coming his way after he failed to score any touchdowns in 2022. meanwhile Lockett over performed in the touchdown category a season ago making him more likely to underwhelm especially with the addition of first round wide receiver Jackson Smith and jigbo Jordan Addison is projected to outscore Cortland Sutton fantasy football doesn't have to be hard the Vikings selected

Jordan Addison in the first round of this year's draft with the idea that he will step into the number two wide receiver role vacated by Adam thielen that role last season translated into the eighth most routes run per game so even as the third potential Target in the pecking order on the Vikings offense Addison's rare role makes him very different from the majority of other number two wide receivers [Music] that concludes my list of 10 players who are popping in the 2023 fantasy football projec
