Favorite futures for 2023
Amari Cooper over 875.5 receiving yards (-115)
Cooper has cleared 1,000 receiving yards in three of his last four seasons. He averaged over 61 yards per week over the last six weeks of the regular season with a rusty Deshaun Watson under center. Elijah Moore, coming off of a bust a year in New York, is the only receiver on this roster who could potentially threaten Cooper’s volume. Assuming Watson’s efficiency improves with a full offseason, however, a steep regression in Cooper’s volume and subsequent YPR seems unlikely. The former Cowboy figures to clear 70 catches and 950 yards in 2023. — Liz Loza
Nick Chubb over 1,200.5 rushing yards (-115), over 8.5 rush TDs (-115), NFL leader in rush yards (+450 at DraftKings)
The AFC North is shaping up to be a monster in 2023. The Bengals have played in back-to-back AFC Championship games. The Ravens win 74% of the games Lamar Jackson is healthy enough to play. Mike Tomlin and the Steelers NEVER finish under .500. I think the Browns are going to be good and have a very talented roster, but because of the quality of competition in the division, I’m not that interested in betting any Browns team futures at the moment.
Chubb, however, is a different story. With Kareem Hunt out of the picture, Chubb is set to absolutely dominate RB touches in this offense, and that means he’s set to absolutely dominate in 2023. The most talented runner of the football in the NFL, I’ll happily bet the over for rush yards and rush TDs this season, and I’m very comfortable betting him to lead the NFL in rushing yards. Chubb could very easily end up as the RB1 in fantasy this season, and I think should be considered for the No. 1 overall pick in standard scoring leagues. — Tyler Fulghum
*Record against the “Over” line set for the game. Both teams are credited with a win if the game went over, a loss if under, and a tie if pushed.
