2023 Rookie Rankings and Tiers: These Round 2 Selections Will Help Revitalize Dynasty Rosters

April 20, 2023

In Part 1 of the Rookie Rankings Series, I broke down my current top 12 with the draft just a week away. Although several surprises popped up in the first round, I saved the biggest riser to kick off Round 2.

In this series, I’m using the first three rounds of a hypothetical rookie draft as a framework for ranking players and dividing them into tiers. It’s been a blast pulling advanced stats from the immense vault that is the Sports Info Solutions database (the same provider we use for reader-favorite tools like the Advanced Stats Explorer, Stealing Signals, and Advanced Team Stats) and pooling that information with insights from theBox Score Scout and Prospect Workout Explorer.

I always really look forward to Round 2 of rookie drafts, as hits in this range can completely remake your fantasy roster. That’s one reason our Perpetual Reloading strategy stocks up on these high-value Superflex picks.

Round 2 – The Hits that Revitalize Rosters

Volume 3 of the RotoViz Rookie Guide comes out next Sunday in the aftermath of the draft. Make sure to grab your copy today.
