Fantasy Football 2023: 5 NFL rookies you should consider drafting feat. Zay Flowers

Fantasy Football 2023 5 NFL rookies you should draft

#3 - Zay Flowers, WR, Baltimore Ravens

Ravens Camp Football

The Baltimore Ravens attempted to get Lamar Jackson an offensive weapon when they took Boston College WR Zay Flowers with the 22nd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Flowers will likely begin the season as WR3 behind Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman, but in recent times, there's been many WRs who began the year down the depth chart before bursting onto the scene. One recent example was Justin Jefferson, who didn't immediately start for the Minnesota Vikings, before becoming the best wide receiver in football.

Flowers' current ADP is #120 overall and is ranked as WR49. He will more than likely face second or third-string defensive players when he's on the field early, so look to him to make an immediate impact.

#2 - Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Detroit Lions

GIants Lions Football

The Detroit Lions have a new rushing attack heading into 2023, replacing Jamaal Williams and DeAndre Swift with David Montgomery and rookie Jahmyr Gibbs.

Gibbs looks likely to take on the RB1 role, and will be an excellent fantasy football option.

The Alabama rookie will run behind one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, as well as arguably the best run game in the league. His current ADP is No. 36 overall and RB14, but he could easily end 2023 as a top-8 back.

#1 - Bijan Robinson, RB, Atlanta Falcons

Falcons Dolphins Football

One of the biggest questions in fantasy football heading into 2023 is just how high you should draft Falcons rookie RB Bijan Robinson.

Robinson has looked electric in camp, both out of the backfield and when lined up as a wide receiver, meaning he could have excellent PPR value. His current ADP is nith overall, and he's ranked as RB3, but there's no reason to say he won't end his rookie year as RB1 if he can remain healthy.
