![]() ![]() Hyatt is a thin, speedy receiver who didn't see much work at Tennessee prior to a 2022 breakout, in which he posted a 67-1,267-15 receiving line (23% target share). He ended up with 39 TDs in 41 collegiate games, though his YAC and elusiveness numbers were more pedestrian than good. After transferring from Michigan, Charbonnet produced at least 225 touches, 1,300 yards and 13 TDs in both seasons with the Bruins. ![]() Expect a quick impact in the pros.Ĭharbonnet is a big back with solid speed and three-down ability who can be a plus as a rusher, receiver and blocker. He can align all over the formation and has 4.42 wheels. His efficiency was solid despite a horrific 68% catchable ball rate (second lowest in this class), and he also contributed as a rusher (57-345-2) and punt returner. Heavily targeted during his 48 games at BC, Flowers managed a target share of at least 28% and an air-yard share of at least 37% each of his final three seasons. He underwhelmed at the combine, which included a 4.49 40-yard dash at 173 pounds (85 speed score, third lowest among 50 WRs in this class). Addison's 29 career TDs (35 games) were second most in this class, and he cleaned up early-career drop woes in 2022. He was a big-time playmaker at Pitt (including a 100-1,593-17 receiving line in 2021), but his usage dipped a bit in 2022 - his lone season at USC (59-875-8). His collegiate efficiency was excellent, as he posted one of the top marks in this class in YPT (12.6), YPRR (3.40) and catch rate (81%) while working primarily in the short area (8.9 aDOT).Īddison is an undersized receiver and a good route-runner who usually aligned in the slot (70% in his career) while also contributing as a rusher and returner for the Trojans. Smith-Njigba is more quick than fast (he posted the best three-cone drill and short shuttle at the combine) and will do his damage as a possession slot receiver (81% slot at OSU). Smith-Njigba broke out with a 95-1,606-9 receiving line (23% target share) in 2021, but injuries limited him to five catches in three games in 2022. He posted one of the biggest wingspans, verticals and broad jumps at the combine, which just added to his appeal/upside as a vertical/boundary (87% perimeter at TCU) receiver in the pros. Johnston is a big and fast receiver who had some struggles with drops but was heavily targeted (24% share) and terrific after the catch (career 8.4 RAC is best in this class) in 32 collegiate games. Gibbs, who is one of the youngest backs in this class, can also help out as a kick returner. He made up for that with a 104-1,217-8 receiving line (which included elite efficiency) during the span. Gibbs' tackle-breaking, elusiveness and YAC numbers were solid to good in 31 collegiate games, but he mixed in a ton of negative runs (class-high 24%). Gibbs' carry count (and perhaps goal-line TDs) might be limited by his size and skill set, but he has the speed (4.36 40-yard dash), quickness, agility and hands to be a major difference-maker in the passing game. He figures to immediately leap into the RB1 mix in season-long formats. ![]() Robinson is also one of the youngest players in this group, making him the no-brainer top pick in 2023 rookie drafts. He's also a capable receiver, having posted a 60-805-8 line in his career, which included a class-best YPR (13.4) and YPT (9.8). Robinson's collegiate rushing efficiency was elite, as he posted a 4.1 YAC (fourth in this class) and 3.0 forced missed tackle rate (first) during 31 games. Robinson is easily the class of this field, with the size, speed (4.46 40-yard dash) and skill set to be a three-down superstar in the pros. ![]() Ages are as of Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season.) (Note: References to where a player ranks in a statistical category relative to this year's class is referring to a sample including only players invited to the combine. However, to help you begin scouting the top incoming talent, I've ranked the prospects based on my observations from their college careers.īelow is a ranking and analysis of all 111 players who attended March's combine at the four fantasy-relevant positions (QB, RB, WR, TE). We don't yet know which teams these first-year players will take snaps for, so there's still plenty to be learned. With the NFL combine behind us and the draft quickly approaching, it's time to look at the fantasy football outlook for incoming rookies for the 2023 season.
