Meng Song discusses a couple of mispriced early-round players who could be league-winners in 2023.

There’s plenty of information out there regarding late-round ADP values and mid-round sleepers, like Mat Irby’s three middle-round running backs who could be stars. Players who outperform their ADPs certainly add value to a fantasy roster, but it’s rare to hit on true league-winners in the middle or late rounds of drafts. Instead, seasons can be won or lost by early-round players, so it’s crucial to hit on those Round 1 and 2 picks.

I’ll expand on that situation below along with another. These two mispriced early-round players can be league-winners in 2023, as both are often available at the Round 1-2 turn, but I have them each ranked as top-six overall picks for this season.

A.J. Brown

As of this writing, A.J. Brown is being drafted 10th overall as the WR6 based on Underdog ADP. That’s already a hefty price tag on Brown, but he’s arguably still a bargain. I have him ranked as the WR4, and No. 6 player overall.
