2023 Fantasy Football Rankings: Pre-NFL free agency top 175

Atlanta Falcons move up amid coaching change: The switch from Arthur Smith to Zac Robinson leading the Falcons' offense should provide more reliable play from Bijan Robinson, among others.

Retained offensive coordinators can help prevent sophomore slumps: The Houston Texans kept head coaching candidate Bobby Slowik, while the Detroit Lions retained Ben Johnson. This should help C.J. Stroud and Sam LaPorta, respectively, remain two of the best players at their positions.

More than 25 rookies in the top 175: The combination of an excellent rookie wide receiver class and a few quarterbacks and tight ends who are expected to be picked within the top 10 picks means there will be plenty of first-year players finding their way onto fantasy rosters.

These 2024 fantasy football rankings are an early look at how players could be ranked in August. Player movement in free agency will have a big impact on the rankings, particularly at running back. Players expected to be unrestricted free agents are marked as such.
