If you've been following along with the early look at our top 12 PPR rankings for 2023 at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end, I told you they would be subject to change. And following one playoff game in the wild-card round, Adam Aizer already moved Saquon Barkley ahead of Jonathan Taylor.
These rankings will get altered a lot between now and August, especially once free agency and the NFL Draft are done, and we'll adjust to news as it happens. We're also going to change our minds on players as we continue to do analysis throughout the offseason.
The most significant changes will be for our top 24 rankings, which will eventually become a top 200 soon. These overall rankings will be a draft list you can follow to make it easy for you to build your Fantasy team.
With that in mind, here are the early top 24 PPR rankings for 2023 from Adam Aizer, Heath Cummings, Dave Richard, Chris Towers and myself. Again, these are subject to change, but start your prep work now -- and hopefully win a championship this season.

The biggest difference at the top is Adam having Kelce at No. 1 overall. We've already talked about this a lot with the tight end preview and our first 12-team, PPR mock draft. Adam wants Kelce since he's the biggest difference maker of any player at any position.
The rest of us are going with Jefferson, who should continue to be a star in 2023 as the No. 1 receiver. Hopefully, the playoff upset against the Giants will motivate Jefferson to be even better next season, and Kirk Cousins will throw him the ball in every crucial situation.
Along with Jefferson and Kelce, the consensus first-round picks for us are McCaffrey, Ekeler, Chase, Kupp, Barkley, Hill, Diggs and Taylor. I'm sure Fantasy managers will be happy to see that five analysts agree on 10 of the top 12 overall picks. And all of us but Heath have Adams in the first round (he's No. 16 overall for Heath).
The other players in the first round are Mixon for Adam and Heath, Walker for me and Dave, Henry for Heath and Jacobs for Chris. Of all those players, Chris is the only one who does not have Walker in his top 24.
In Round 2, the biggest thing to note is the quarterbacks coming into play. Adam is the highest on quarterbacks so far with Allen (No. 15), Mahomes (No. 16) and Hurts (No. 17) ranked inside his top 20.
Heath also has those three quarterbacks in his top 24, but they are lower, starting with Mahomes at No. 22. Chris and myself have Mahomes and Allen with our final two picks in the top 24, and Dave does not have the quarterbacks ranked here.
I'm generally inclined to wait on a quarterback, but once you get to the end of Round 2 and start to compare Mahomes and Allen to the running backs and receivers on the board, this is the right time to consider those passers. Like Kelce, they are significant difference makers, and you want those kinds of stars on your Fantasy team.
