Here's what it spit out last year....

As the 2022 fantasy football season fades into memory, it’s time to start looking ahead to 2023. The NFL landscape is always changing, with players switching teams, new rookies entering the league, and injuries taking their toll. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you begin to prepare for next season.


Rookies can make an impact


The 2022 rookie class was one of the most productive in recent memory, with players like Najee Harris, Javonte Williams, and Ja’Marr Chase putting up big numbers. And with a new crop of rookies set to enter the league in 2023, there’s no reason to think that trend won’t continue.


Of course, not every rookie will be a fantasy superstar right away, but there are always a few who make an immediate impact. Keep an eye on players like Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler, who has been projected as a potential top pick in the 2023 NFL draft, and Ohio State wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who is a dynamic playmaker with a high ceiling.


Don’t overlook the tight ends


The tight end position has traditionally been one of the most volatile in fantasy football, with only a handful of players providing consistent production. But that’s starting to change, with a new generation of talented tight ends entering the league.


Players like Kyle Pitts, George Kittle, and Mark Andrews have already established themselves as top-tier options, and there are more on the way. Keep an eye on players like Iowa’s Sam LaPorta, who has shown the ability to make big plays down the field, and Texas A&M’s Jalen Wydermyer, who is a versatile weapon in the passing game.


Don’t forget about the running backs


While the NFL has become more pass-heavy in recent years, the running back position remains a key part of any fantasy team. And with the rise of the committee approach, there are more opportunities for running backs to put up big numbers.


Players like Jonathan Taylor, Dalvin Cook, and Alvin Kamara are still at the top of the heap, but there are plenty of emerging talents to watch as well. Keep an eye on players like UNC’s Ty Chandler, who has the potential to be a three-down back in the NFL, and Georgia’s Zamir White, who has the size and power to be a dominant goal-line back.


Stay flexible with your draft strategy


One of the most important things to remember in fantasy football is to stay flexible. The draft is just the beginning of the season, and things can change quickly due to injuries, suspensions, and other factors.


That means you should be willing to adjust your draft strategy based on the situation. If the top-tier quarterbacks are flying off the board early, don’t be afraid to wait and stock up on running backs and wide receivers. If there’s a run on tight ends in the middle rounds, consider waiting and grabbing a sleeper option later on.


By staying flexible and being willing to adapt, you’ll be better equipped to handle the ups and downs of the season and put yourself in a position to win your league.


In conclusion, the 2023 fantasy football season promises to be another exciting and unpredictable one. By keeping these tips in mind and staying up to date on the latest news and trends, you’ll be well on your way to drafting a championship-caliber team.

just remember gigo is still the rule. Garbage in garbage out.

AI will eventually analyze football data/metrics to create models to predict future success. There are advanced metrics from football outsiders, PFF etc....but trust me, they aren't even close to what AI is going to do.

Sportsbooks/cappers have been using manual models for quite some time but that industry will be disrupted to some extent as well.

AI will be another level that wont just impact fantasy football and sportsbetting, but will actually impact GM and owner personnel decisions.

The anlaytics revolution that many sports like baseball and soccer have seen over the past few decades or so are a glimpse into the future.

Aren't game simulations basically this? (Obviously they've only used the tip of the iceburg and once AI is more advanced/applicable to these sims, it can only get better)
I know some of those sites that predict the outcome of the games run a simulation like 1000x and average it out. I don't know a ton about AI but I'd assume they're already using some form of it to analyze loads of data/history/etc into these sims.

Depends on how you interpret the output. Easiest way to consider AI/ML is think of a foreign language AI program.

Take for example, if you built a Chinese language facilitator program. Over time it gets better at taking inputs and spitting out Chinese outputs. Does it know Chinese though?

AI would be good at analyzing fed inputs to crunch numbers, but it won’t learn from factors not I put. If you want human instincts and intuition, that won’t happen.
