A lot of people think it’s crazy to draft right now.

After all, we’re 140 days away from Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season.

We don’t know bye weeks, depth charts, or rookie landing spots.

And still – way too early fantasy football rankings serve a purpose. 

Today.

In fact, Underdog Fantasy launched 2023 drafts months ago. So did our friends at the FFPC.

Now, it’s time for a launch of our own.

You can see an overall ranking by creating a custom cheatsheet -- the upgraded Draft War Room. 

The DWR assigns dynamic player values based on your league’s exact settings. Use these values to compare players at the same position and across positions for help drafting a league-winner.
