2023 Deep Sleeper Tight Ends

Each fantasy football season, a tight end or two will emerge from the back end of the pool. For someone cheating the tight end position, an open mind and a quick trigger after Week 1 can sometimes lead to a helpful player.

After presenting my 2023 fantasy football tight end values, here are my best 2023 Deep Sleeper Tight Ends to target on draft day this summer. 

Isaiah Likely (Baltimore Ravens)

The success of Likely in his rookie season (36/373/3 on 60 targets) almost makes him a must-handcuff to Mark Andrews. I’m a fan of Charlie Kolar (who missed most of his rookie year), so the usage of both players will be critical to securing the next tight end on the depth chart in Baltimore.

Likely fits a big wide receiver profile (6’4” and 240 lbs.) with two impressive games (6/77/1 and 8/103) already on his NFL resume. The Ravens feature the tight end in their power run game, pointing to fewer targets for Baltimore’s secondary wide receivers. Likely is the 22nd-ranked tight end in late July. In his final year at Coastal Carolina, he caught 59 of his 78 targets for 912 yards and 12 touchdowns.

2023 Fantasy Football Bounce-Back Players

Each fantasy season, a group of players underperformed the previous year or saw their output fall short of expectations due to injuries. A veteran player with a proven resume often has a bounce-back season the following year while having a discounted price.

Identifying these rebound players can offer fantasy football fans a huge advantage on draft day. However, the key question is: which are the best options to regain their form in 2023? 

Here are the top 2023 Fantasy Football Bounce-Back Players to keep in mind on draft day.

Deshaun Watson (Cleveland Browns)

With no fantasy value in 2021 and 2022 due to his off-the-field issues, the fantasy market has forgotten how good Watson was when on top of his game. Over his final seven games in 2020, he averaged 356 combined yards with 17 touchdowns. Also, he posted a nifty 9.4 yards per pass attempt. 

Watson’s top five receivers that season were Brandin Cooks (81/1,150/6), Will Fuller (53/879/8), Randall Cobb (38/441/3), Jordan Akins (37/403/1), and David Johnson (33/314/2). He turned 28 in mid-September, putting him in the prime of his career.

Last year, Cleveland’s top three receivers (Amari Cooper – 78/1,160/9, Donovan Peoples-Jones – 61/839/3, and David Njoku – 58/628/4) had productive years even with Jacoby Brissett starting 11 games. Also, the Browns added Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman in the offseason. Plus, they also have reliable depth at tight end (Harrison Bryant and Jordan Akins) and an upside David Bell on the roster. Watson is an excellent second-tier quarterback in…

Top Five Running Back Sleepers

 

There are some strategies that advocate targeting running backs early and often. However, many other #ZERORB drafters bypass early RBs altogether. Regardless of your approach, running backs remain a pivotal focus in fantasy football.

By in large, top-tier running backs will accumulate the most points in fantasy lineups. That makes them an integral part of each and every lineup. Knowing which mid-to-late-round running back sleepers to target can make all the difference between a middling roster and a real championship contender.

Here are the Top Five Running Back Sleepers to target in your 2023 fantasy football draft or auction.

Breaking Down The Field

I researched the running back outcomes in 2022 to keep the same theme with the quarterback and wide receiver week-to-week data. Over 18 weeks, running backs scored 30 fantasy points or more in PPR formats in 26 games. Four of these scores reach the 40-point mark (Joe Mixon – 55.10, Alvin Kamara – 42.80, Christian McCaffrey – 40.60, and Josh Jacobs – 48.30). Austin Ekeler (4) and Josh Jacobs (4) posted the most impact games.

The top 12 running backs posted 17 of the 26 games with more than 30 fantasy points, compared to five by RB2s. Backs scored between 20 and 29.99 fantasy points 107 times, with RB1s accounting for 51 of those showings. They finished with a 106:67 boom or bust ratio (15 fantasy points or more/fewer than 10.00 fantasy points). The second 12 running backs had a much weaker ratio (58:100).

Austin Ekeler scores 20 or more fantasy points in nine games, giving him a 52.9% win rate in his impact ratio. Christian McCaffrey (8) and Derrick Henry (8) finished tied for second in this area. 

The highest floor ratio (76.5) went to Christian McCaffery (13 games), followed by Austin Ekeler (12) and Saquan Barkley (12), then Derrick Henry (10) and Nick Chubb (10).

After Week 10, only three back scores ranking outside the top 38 scored more than 20 fantasy points in a game (Brian Robinson – 20.50, JaMycal Hasty – 20.50, and Zack Moss – 21.10). 

Here’s a look at the top 24 running backs from last season with their highlighted week-to-week scores…

2023 Fantasy Tight End Values

It seems like tight ends are becoming more valuable as each fantasy season arrives. Much of that value can be attributed to the lack of depth available throughout the position. Also, many leagues have begun to mitigate that weakness by rewarding bonus points for tight end receptions.

Regardless of your league’s settings, securing a reliable weekly tight end is a huge advantage in fantasy football. And since there are so few elite options, most fantasy football managers will be searching for the top 2023 fantasy tight end values to target on draft day.

Here are the top-5 2023 fantasy tight end values that you should consider when assembling your roster this summer.


Last year, Travis Kelce (317.3 fantasy points) dominated the tight end pool. He had more than a 100-point edge over the second-best option (T.J. Hockenson – 216.40 fantasy points) while doubling the output of the sixth-ranked (Tyler Higbee – 152.00 fantasy points). Kelce had a floor of 15 fantasy points in 12 of his 17 starts, doubling the second-highest player (George Kittle – 6) in this area. Only three running backs and three wide receivers outscored Kelce in 2022 in PPR formats.

Eight tight end games with 30-plus fantasy points came from the top 12 best players. The TE1s scored between 20 and 29.99 fantasy points 17 times (12 by the top four tight ends). The other remaining options delivered just nine outcomes in this category.

During the year, there were 210 games by tight ends with a floor of 10 fantasy points. Here’s the breakdown by groupings:

  • TE1 – 96 
  • TE2 – 56
  • TE3 – 38
  • TE4 – 14
  • TE5 – 6

Below the top 18 tight ends last season, there were only four games with more than 20 fantasy points – Jordan Akins – 25., Mike Gesicki – 24.9, Mo Alie-Cox – 26.5, Shane Zylstra – 25.6, and Trey McBride – 20.8). 

Here’s a look at the week-to-week scores by the top 24 tight ends in 2022…

Top Five Wide Receiver Sleepers

Today’s high-octane NFL offense has led to an explosion in popularity for wide receivers. As #ZERORB drafting has become all the rage in fantasy football, young wide receivers have developed into the most valuable commodity in many leagues and formats.

It only takes one mock draft to see just how impactful young, productive wideouts have become. However, not all receivers are created equally. Knowing which young pass catcher has the potential to develop into the next elite fantasy WR1 or WR2 is crucial for compiling a championship roster.

Here are the top five wide receiver sleepers that have the potential to break out in 2023.


Anatomy Of A Sleeper WR

In this year’s draft class, many NFL teams scoured the talent pool at wide receiver looking for the next quick undersized player looking for the next Tyreek Hill (5’10” and 185 lbs.), Antonio Brown (5’10” and 195 lbs.), or even DeVonta Smith (6’0” and 170 lbs.). The goal is to find a difference-maker with the talent to force a defense to defend the whole field.

Identifying these budding superstar wideouts has never been more important to succeed in fantasy football. Here are some quick data to show the wide receiver dropdowns from 2020 to 2022:

sleeper wr

Note: The above data is from PPR formats.

Each NFL season, there is a fluctuation of touchdowns scored either via the pass or the run. In 2020, receivers caught 871 touchdowns (most in NFL history), with a pullback to 840 scores in 2021 despite each team playing one more game. Subsequently, last season, scoring was down across the board, leading to only 750 passing touchdowns. This regression came from 15 teams tossing 20 or fewer scores. 

Also, here are the running and passing stats from 2010 to 2022…

There is certainly no shortage of analytics and data available to fantasy football enthusiasts. One of the most useful tools available to the well-prepared fantasy drafter is to break down the strength of schedule for each position. FullTime’s 2023 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule: WR looks at the most crucial position to give you a draft-day edge.

While there is plenty of strength of schedule analysis out there, FullTime Fantasy breaks down the data in a unique way. In addition to season-long data, FullTime Fantasy Members get access to all positions including IDP. Also, the data can be sorted by remaining games and broken down into sections. This can be especially helpful for high-stakes and tournament drafters looking for the edge during the fantasy playoffs.

Also, don’t forget to explore our previous 2023 strength of schedule analysis for quarterbacks and running backs. Now, let’s check out the 2023 fantasy football strength of schedule: WR.

The numbers listed include Weeks 1-17.

 

Favorable Schedules

 

Chris Olave & Michael Thomas (New Orleans Saints) – Playing six games in the NFC South certainly doesn’t hurt for the underrated New Orleans Saints receiving corps. QB Derek Carr should be a big improvement over Andy Dalton. Plus, Carr has a notable history of peppering his No. 1 wideout with targets. That should be a boon for sophomore Chris Olave, who already ranked 10th in the league with a 29.3% target rate in 2022.

Michael Thomas was also off to a fast start before succumbing to another season-ending injury. When healthy, Thomas remains an elite pass catcher. While his fantasy football ADP has started to creep up, Thomas remains an excellent value pick to target in drafts.

For Thomas and Olave, expect a fast start and finish. New Orleans has the second-easiest schedule for wide receivers in Weeks 1-5 and again from Weeks 11-15. Also…

As a known fantasy fiend, I am through eight FullTime Fantasy Championship Drafts over at the FFWC. In that time, I found some very nice values in the ADP that I have been mining in the draft room. I want to share my FullTime Fantasy Championship ADP Values with FullTime Fantasy Members to help you get a leg up on your draft day. This is premium content and I probably shouldn’t be sharing this with you all…But that’s what they pay me to do.

The FullTime Fantasy Championship is a contest where the top-4 finishers in each league after Week 14 advance to the Championship Round (Weeks 15-17). This is a PPR league with kickers, defenses, and two (non-QB) flex spots. A 20-round draft gets rosters started, with NO TRADES allowed.

What separates the FullTime Fantasy Championship from others is that it offers THE HIGHEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR ANY NATIONAL COMPETITION! 

ONLINE DRAFTS  are already underway and you can choose your preferred time or a SLOW draft. You can also register for the LIVE EVENTS that will take place at the CIRCA HOTEL in Las Vegas! But act fast as this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity won’t last long!

Now, let’s check out some of my favorite ADP values to exploit in FullTime Fantasy Championship drafts.

Quarterbacks

Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) QB3 (Round 5.3)

On most other sites Allen is going in the late third round as the QB3. However, Allen is being targeted a full two rounds earlier. Stud QBs are en vogue in 2023. That said, having the ability to build the core of your team and then add the back-to-back overall  QB1 in fantasy ppg is criminal!

It’s always fascinating to see different draft strategies play out in various formats. But this season, there has been a premium placed on elite signal callers. That’s why I feel nabbing Allen in the fifth round is a tremendous value I’m more than happy to exploit.

WHAT OTHER FFWC FULLTIME FANTASY CHAMPIONSHIP ADP SLEEPERS SHOULD YOU BE TARGETING?
