7 WRs to Target in fantasy football 2023:

Ja’Marr Chase (CIN), ADP 2.1, WR2:

If you have the pick, he's part of a small group of safe options.

Volume is there for a top WR:

• 3rd in RZ targets (26)

• 6th in target share (29.3%)

• 9th in air yards share (36.6%)

The production follows suit:

• 20.2 PPR points per game

• 5 weeks of top-5 fantasy finishes

Joe Burrow is also the most accurate QB in the league, leading an explosive attack.

The worry about target competition is overblown in my opinion:

In his 2 year career, Chase has 10 weekly top-10 PPR fantasy finishes.

8 of them with Tee Higgins on the field.

If anything the duo feed off each other.

Raising the whole offense.

Garrett Wilson (NYJ) ADP 13.8, WR9:

His performance with/without Zach Wilson is well-documented by now.

The PPR point-per-game splits:

• 8.6 with Zach

• 17.2 with anyone else

Now he gets an all-time great.

What else to consider?

In '22, Wilson's 6th-most RZ targets turned into just 4 TDs...

Suggesting an uptick is due.

I see him as the best option in New York, even with Rodgers's old teammates.

The guy's upside is huge.

In fact, check him out on PrizePicks.

Chris Olave (NO), ADP 20.3, WR12:

He popped in '22, and we see some encouraging metrics for this year:

• 4th in deep targets (29)

• 3rd in air yards share (40.8%)

• 5th in unrealized air yards (845)

• 10th in yards per route run (2.57)

Also 12th in route win rate (48.1%)

Derek Carr is in New Orleans, and he doesn't exactly set the world ablaze.

However, he is a competent passer:

• 5th in air yards (4,701)

• 5th in deep ball attempts (72)

• 2nd in air yards per attempt (9.4)

He was able to support Davante Adams as the overall WR3 (5 in PPG)

Amari Cooper (CLE), ADP 35.1, WR18:

Last season was among his most productive ever, with sub-par QB play.

Cleveland gave him sweet volume:

• 12 in RZ targets (16)

• 12th in deep targets (24)

• 7th in air yards share (38.3%)

Other stats show even more potential:

• 15th in yards per route run (2.3)

• 3rd in unrealized air yards (870)

He’s finished as a top-20 WR in 6 of his 8 seasons. (@TommygarrettPFN)

The only hangup? Deshaun Watson, who was clearly rusty last year.

But an approximation of his 2020 self would highly benefit Cooper:

• 1st in yards per attempt (8.9)

• 5th deep ball completion % (50.8)

• 7th under pressure accuracy rating (6.7)

There's big potential upside here.

Terry McLaurin (WAS), ADP 46.2, WR25:

Like Garrett Wilson, McLaurin’s production depended on his QB.

And there's not much to look at when it comes to Sam Howell.

So let’s just look at McLaurin’s upside metrics:

Scary Terry has elite speed (97th percentile)

On the field:

• 7th in yards per target (9.9)

• 12th in unrealized air yards (741)

• 11th in yards per reception (15.5)

He finished 13th in air yards share (34.5%)

And was top-15 WR in 3 of last 5 games.

D.J. Moore (CHI), ADP 48, WR26:

QB situation seems upgraded.

More on that in a sec.

Even with the poor QB play, Moore ended with top air-yard share (48%).

With 6 top-16 weekly finishes.

And as 7th in unrealized air yards, I foresee an uptick in production.

Big caveat is potential volume.

Justin Fields was not a prolific passer,

But he did have some positive metrics:

• 8th air yards per attempt

• 7th RZ completion percentage

Moore is in town to help Fields improve.

Improved o-line will reduce pressure and number of scrambles.

Brandon Aiyuk, (SF), ADP 60.7, WR31:

He was PPR WR15 in ‘22

With a specialty of getting open:

• 13th in route win rate (47.8%)

• 3rd in target separation (2.31)

He also finished ahead of Deebo Samuel in fantasy PPG (13.4 vs. 13.0)

(per @FantasyPros)

Brock Purdy is in line to start again.

He was a competent QB when he stepped in last year,

playing good ball on the 49ers' hot stretch run.

He threw 13 TDs over the final 6 games, with 4 QB ratings over 100.

Aiyuk will benefit from a little bit of development from Brock.
