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.

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.

There seem to be two primary concerns that drafters have with Brown. One is that the Eagles don’t pass enough for Brown to have elite WR upside, and the other is that he’s competing for targets with DeVonta Smith. However,
