Are you gearing up for your 2023 Fantasy Football dynasty startup draft? If so, you might want to check out these must-have picks recommended by DBro.
First on the list is running back J.K. Dobbins, who will be entering his contract year in 2023. With Todd Monken as the offensive coordinator, Dobbins is poised to have a breakthrough season. Even when he was playing on one healthy leg last year, Dobbins ranked impressively in NFL metrics. With Monken’s past record of feeding top-ten opportunity shares to his running backs, Dobbins has an excellent opportunity to significantly increase his value and earn a huge second contract.
Another running back to consider is Cam Akers. Following an Achilles injury that hampered his career, Akers showcased his skills in the second half of last season. Notably, in weeks 13-18, he averaged almost 20 touches per game, 101.8 total yards, and was the RB6 in fantasy points per game. He was also tied for 11th in high-value touches among running backs during that timeframe. Moreover, he secured all the team’s carries inside the ten-yard line. Akers is only 23 years old and has plenty of untapped potential remaining. If he fills up the box scores this season, he should have no problem securing a starting position with another team for 2024.
These are only two of the recommended must-have picks for your dynasty startup draft. If you’re looking for more, check out DBro’s full article.
