The 2023 NFL season is still several weeks away. However, July is arguably the best time of the year for fantasy players. The Scott Fish Bowl is in full swing, and it’s the perfect time for a new dynasty league. Let’s dive into some dynasty fantasy football draft values. We’ll go round-by-round to identify the top values to consider at each pick.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers
While there are several strategies you can use during startup drafts, finding the best value in every round is critical regardless of which you deploy. So let’s look at the best late value in each rounds in a 12-team, 1QB, half-point PPR startup dynasty draft.
Round 11 – Skyy Moore (WR – KC)
Many were excited about the second-round pick last season. Unfortunately, Moore struggled as a rookie, finishing fourth among the team’s wide receivers in targets and fifth in routes run. Furthermore, the rookie was the WR123, scoring only 32.4 half-point PPR fantasy points in 2022. However, Moore has been the talk of the team this offseason. JuJu Smith-Schuster and Andy Reid have said they expect a big year from the second-year player. Meanwhile, Kadarius Toney has missed 44.1 percent of the games in his career because of injury. More importantly, he didn’t perform when healthy. I’m banking on Moore to have a second-year breakout.
Round 12 – Trey McBride (TE – ARI)
Unfortunately, McBride had a quiet rookie year. However, part of his quiet rookie season was because of Zach Ertz and the Cardinals’ dysfunctions on offense. Over his first nine games, McBride had only four receptions for 31 receiving yards, playing under 30% of the snaps in six contests. However, the former Colorado State star picked up his play after Ertz suffered a season-ending knee injury. McBride was the TE10, averaging 5.5 targets and 8.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over his last four contests. After having a quiet rookie season, the second-year player could become a low-end TE1 in 2023.
Round 13 – Jaylen Warren (RB – PIT)
While Najee Harris is the Steelers’ lead back, Warren will have more of a role this year. According to The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly, offensive coordinator Matt Canada won’t be able to keep Warren off the field as much as he did last season. Meanwhile, the second-year player averaged 4.9 yards per rushing attempt as a rookie, seeing 14.3 percent of his rushing attempt go for 10 or more yards. By comparison, Harris had only 7.4 percent of his rushing attempts go for more than 10 yards last season. If Harris gets hurt, Warren could be the late-round draft pick that wins fantasy players their league.
