THE DO DRAFT LIST: 8 NFL players in 2023 you should build your fantasy football team around

Don't hesitate to pick these studs in fantasy football drafts this year.

In much the same way an NFL executive builds around a core, a fantasy football manager needs players they know will deliver every single week. Guys that will provide the lion’s share of their team’s points and rarely perform like duds.

It’s easy to look for the sleepers and waiver-wire additions that might win your league. And yes, you probably also know who to avoid drafting outright. But you’ll never be in that late-season playoff-push position in the first place if your first crack at drafting a foundation of stars falls way short.

You gotta get it right. No questions asked.

Let’s round up the do-draft or must-draft players that you shouldn’t think twice about building your fantasy football teams for the 2023 NFL season.
