Final cuts and waiver claims have come and gone, and we've even gotten some new injury news as the season approaches. Here's a top 250 to use in PPR leagues for the biggest fantasy draft weekend of the year!
1. Justin Jefferson (WR-MIN) - Career arc pointing towards a monumental season
2. Ja'Marr Chase (WR-CIN) - Proved he wasn't just deep ball dependent last year
3. Christian McCaffrey (RB-SF) - Unknown ceiling with full season in this offense
4. Austin Ekeler (RB-LAC) - Super safe mid-first round pick
5. Tyreek Hill (WR-MIA) - Some buzz that he could be even better in this offense this year
6. Nick Chubb (RB-CLE) - Should get as much as he can handle, which is a lot
7. Travis Kelce (TE-KC) - Super safe mid-first round pick, but more TE value later?
8. Bijan Robinson (RB-ATL) - Talent + quality of running game = high ceiling
9. Saquon Barkley (RB-NYG) - Should get a lift from improved offense
10. Tony Pollard (RB-DAL) - Massive season incoming if he stays healthy
11. Stefon Diggs (WR-BUF) - Still far and away #1 target in great passing game
12. CeeDee Lamb (WR-DAL) - Feels like he hasn't hit his ceiling yet
13. A.J. Brown (WR-PHI) - Only a small durability worry keeps him from being higher
14. Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR-DET) - As long as ankle is ok numbers should grow
15. Davante Adams (WR-LV) - Showed he isn't Rodgers-dependent last year
16. Garrett Wilson (WR-NYJ) - New Davante Adams for Rodgers?
17. Mark Andrews (TE-BAL) - Preseason injury worrisome, but could surpass Kelce
18. Josh Jacobs (RB-LV) - A little added risk with holdout, but a safe RB1
19. Derrick Henry (RB-TEN) - Can he overcome these poor surroundings? Probably.
20. DeVonta Smith (WR-PHI) - More WR2 than WR1 for FF
21. Jaylen Waddle (WR-MIA) - Sounds like he'll be healthy for Week 1 after abdominal strain
22. Calvin Ridley (WR-JAX) - Has been as good as advertised
23. Chris Olave (WR-NO) - Year 2 + QB improvement = ??? ceiling
24. Jahmyr Gibbs (RB-DET) - Should be used in Kamara/Ekeler/CMC vein
25. Josh Allen (QB-BUF) - Was clear QB1 before elbow injury
26. Jalen Hurts (QB-PHI) - Hard to see him slowing down
27. Patrick Mahomes II (QB-KC) - Wide receivers could help him more this year
28. Cooper Kupp (WR-LAR) - Preseason hamstring + Rams collapse risk
29. Tee Higgins (WR-CIN) - drafted more for floor than ceiling
30. Lamar Jackson (QB-BAL) - QB1 overall upside with new WR/offense
31. Dameon Pierce (RB-HOU) - Will add passing upside, offensive improvement
32. Drake London (WR-ATL) - Should be even better in year 2 along with passing game
33. DJ Moore (WR-CHI) - Boom/bust play, but high ceiling as clear #1
34. Deebo Samuel (WR-SF) - CMC hurts his rushing involvement, but should be better than ‘22
35. Darren Waller (TE-NYG) - One of few TEs to be clear #1 target
36. Joe Mixon (RB-CIN) - Production by default, but could be in decline.
37. Mike Williams (WR-LAC) - Should get more downfield targets, maybe slot too?
38. Keenan Allen (WR-LAC) - Target hog, but durability a question
39. Tyler Lockett (WR-SEA) - Outscored Metcalf last year
40. DK Metcalf (WR-SEA) - A little overdrafted in third round
41. Alexander Mattison (RB-MIN) - Will Chandler be good enough to cut into his workload?
42. David Montgomery (RB-DET) - Will add value to already valuable Jamaal Williams role
43. Justin Fields (QB-CHI) - Passing still rough but only needs small improvement for elite FF #s
44. Travis Etienne Jr. (RB-JAX) - Will share more with Bigsby, but offense will be even better
45. T.J. Hockenson (TE-MIN) - New contract a big thumbs up
46. Aaron Jones (RB-GB) - Will Love rely on him like Rodgers did?
47. Najee Harris (RB-PIT) - Offense is primed for improvement, will Warren make this RBBC?
48. Rhamondre Stevenson (RB-NE) - Low wattage offense + Zeke taking goal line?
49. Joe Burrow (QB-CIN) - Looks like calf injury is ok, won't know for sure til Week 1
50. Brandon Aiyuk (WR-SF) - Purdy being healthy helps him
