Point per reception (PPR) is the more popular fantasy football setting, so when people look for advice, they look for it in that form.
We already know some of the top standouts for this upcoming season, but let’s give you some players a little later in your draft who we believe can accelerate your lineup in this format.

High-Floor PPR Players (2023 Fantasy Football)
Rachaad White (RB – TB) ADP 65
The Tampa Bay offensive approach will be entirely different with Tom Brady retiring. With Brady, this was one of the more pass-heavy teams in the league, but with Baker Mayfield stepping in, that won’t be the case.
Mayfield loves to target his running backs, and the Browns had at least 100 targets to them in three of the four seasons when he was the starter.
White excelled as a dual-running back, and he got more heavily involved in this offense, with five catches or more in four of his final seven games.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR – SEA) ADP 83
Smith-Njigba has Offensive Rookie Of The Year potential, especially in this offense. Seattle finished 12th in passing player percentage, with JSN being their top priority in the draft, and they may look to increase this.
A lingering hamstring issue kept Smith-Njigba sidelined for most of last year at Ohio State, but in 2021 he was one of the premiere receivers in the country with 1,606 receiver yards with nine touchdowns on 16.9 yards per catch.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes one of the top receivers in this offense.
Editor’s Note: JSN suffered a wrist fracture and is questionable to start the season.
Jordan Addison (WR – MIN) ADP 86
The Vikings are going to be one of the best passing teams in the league. Jordan Addison has the potential to lead the rookies in receiving yards and will essentially replace Adam Theilen, who had 107 targets last year.
He is an incredible athlete and has been able to elevate his quarterbacks. In his final two seasons in college, he turned an unknown Kenny Pickett into a first-round pick and led Caleb Williams to a Heisman Trophy.
Khalil Herbert (RB – CHI) ADP 93
Someone needs to replace David Montgomery in the Chicago backfield, and with how well Herbert played when he had his opportunities, this could be his job.
He did very well when given the opportunity to be the lead back and gadget volume and finished PPR top-15 when given 16 or more carries.
Chigoziem Okonkwo (TE – TEN) ADP 124
Okonkwo had a slow start to his rookie season, but the trends show he is poised for a second-year breakout. His production saw a huge bump in the second half of the season. In his first nine games, he had zero with three or more targets. In his final seven, he had six with three top-10 finishes.
His large frame makes him difficult to take down, and he finished with the fifth-most yards after contact among tight ends on just 32 receptions; the other four had 60 or more.
Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF) ADP 116
Kincaid can be one of the top tight ends this year based on the volume he can potentially have. Last season at Utah, he was heavily involved with 70 catches for 890 yards and eight touchdowns.
Dalton Kincaid has similar qualities to Engram: he’s fast, tall, athletic, and a tight end who primarily lines up in the slot. He could be the second option after Stefon Diggs that Josh Allen has been looking for.
