Best Fantasy Offenses in 2023

<— return to 2023 Playbook

The projections below are from my season long projections, which can be found in the 2023 Playbook. Fantasy football and real life football are both a passing league these days. I think these numbers don’t show us the best rushing teams, but instead show us the best passing teams and which teams are best to target in best ball, especially for stacking. In Week 17, we have 2 prime time matchups featuring 4 top 10 teams in Projected Fantasy points. The Chiefs/Bengals and the Cowboys/Lions are teams we want to be attacking in best ball. Right on the edge of being Top 10, we have a sneaky good matchup between the Jets and Browns as well. The Ravens are ranked 13th and play the 7th ranked Dolphins. The 2nd ranked Chargers play the 15th ranked Broncos. I think it’s a good idea to keep these 10 teams in mind while drafting, as these games are my Top 5 most projected fantasy points for Week 17 (see chart below).
