Each fantasy season, a group of players underperformed the previous year or saw their output fall short of expectations due to injuries. A veteran player with a proven resume often has a bounce-back season the following year while having a discounted price.
Identifying these rebound players can offer fantasy football fans a huge advantage on draft day. However, the key question is: which are the best options to regain their form in 2023?
Here are the top 2023 Fantasy Football Bounce-Back Players to keep in mind on draft day.
Deshaun Watson (Cleveland Browns)
With no fantasy value in 2021 and 2022 due to his off-the-field issues, the fantasy market has forgotten how good Watson was when on top of his game. Over his final seven games in 2020, he averaged 356 combined yards with 17 touchdowns. Also, he posted a nifty 9.4 yards per pass attempt.
Watson’s top five receivers that season were Brandin Cooks (81/1,150/6), Will Fuller (53/879/8), Randall Cobb (38/441/3), Jordan Akins (37/403/1), and David Johnson (33/314/2). He turned 28 in mid-September, putting him in the prime of his career.
Last year, Cleveland’s top three receivers (Amari Cooper – 78/1,160/9, Donovan Peoples-Jones – 61/839/3, and David Njoku – 58/628/4) had productive years even with Jacoby Brissett starting 11 games. Also, the Browns added Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman in the offseason. Plus, they also have reliable depth at tight end (Harrison Bryant and Jordan Akins) and an upside David Bell on the roster. Watson is an excellent second-tier quarterback in…

2021 Preseason Pro: Jody Smith
Most casual fantasy football players do their own research but have a few analysts and insiders that they trust. Fulltime Fantasy’s Preseason Pro picks allow those fantasy managers to get insight from some of the top minds in all of football. Jody Smith was ranked the top NFL totals bettor last season at BettingPros and won the title as FantasyPro’s Most Accurate Expert in 2012, his first season in the acclaimed contest. Here are Jody’s Preseason Pro picks for fantasy football breakout, bust, sleeper, comeback, and top stash & cash players for 2021. Breakout Terry McLaurin Despite a subpar quarterback situation last season, Terry McLaurin still posted top-20 fantasy numbers and was a dependable WR2. There is a legitimate shot that McLaurin can enter top-10 territory in 2021 with gunslinger Ryan Fitzpatrick solving Washington’s QB woes. Fitzpatrick isn’t the most dependable signal-caller but one this he does do is fire the ball downfield to his No. 1 wideout. If McLaurin can surpass 130 targets again, he’s going to have a lot more success getting into the endzone with Fitzpatrick under center. McLaurin has a decent shot at catching 100 balls and 8-plus touchdowns in 2021. Bust Logan Thomas While Terry McLaurin should thrive with Ryan Fitzpatrick, TE Logan Thomas is highly unlikely to repeat last year’s breakout numbers. Along with McLaurin commanding targets, Washington signed Curtis Samuel and used a third-round selection on dynamic North Carolina rookie wideout Dyami Brown, who has looked very good this preseason. Fitzpatrick generally likes to get the ball into the hands of his wide receivers, and with that influx of talent, there’s little chance that Thomas will see anywhere near the 110 targets he absorbed last season. I view Thomas as a borderline TE1, not the top-6 option he is often drafted as. Sleeper Rondale Moore Moore is small but he plays big and is a superb after-the-catch runner. My preseason comp for Moore was former Carolina Panthers’ wideout Steve Smith, an undersized but tough player who always seemed to make plays. Like Smith, Moore is a downfield burner who brings an all-new speed element to the slot that has been missing in Arizona with Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals have one of the top offenses in the league and I think Moore is a dark horse to lead the 2021 rookie class in catches. Comeback James Conner Conner was way better than most people remember, he has just had trouble staying healthy. At 233 pounds, Conner is going to be Arizona’s between-the-tackles runner and should command all the goal-line totes in an offense that ran for 24 scores one year ago. Chase Edmonds will factor in as a change-of-pace option but Edmonds isn’t built for heavy usage. Kenyan Drake managed to score 10 TDs and post RB15 numbers in this role last season and I believe Conner can be an excellent fantasy RB2. Stash and Cash Jakobi Meyers In his final four games of 2020, Meyers snagged 21-of-28 targets and averaged 12.2 fantasy points per contest. Nobody seemed to notice as Meyers is routinely being drafted extremely late and in some leagues, going undrafted altogether. Meyers has already locked up the coveted slot receiver role in New England and should see a steady share of targets in a passing attack that should be vastly improved, particularly when first-round rookie QB Mac Jones takes the starting gig.

2021 Fantasy Football Comeback Player of the Year
Who is 2021’s fantasy football comeback player of the year? Each summer there are several players that are viewed as potential breakouts or sleepers but through injuries or other circumstances, things don’t work out. Usually, these players see their fantasy status plummet the next season but sometimes this drop can lead to an opportunity to buy low. Being able to predict these rebounds is a crucial element towards building a championship roster. Fulltime Fantasy’s 2021 Comeback Player of the Year is Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner. (Don’t run away just yet…) Usage in Pittsburgh A feel-good story for overcoming cancer, Conner was the 105th pick of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Conner was used sparingly in his rookie season but when Le’Veon Bell sat out the 2018 campaign, Conner became Pittsburgh’s main runner. In his first season as the starter, Conner posted overall RB6 numbers, churning out 1,470 total yards and 13 touchdowns in 13 games. His play fell off in 2019 but a terrible offensive line and injuries played big parts in that, as they have in each of Conner’s four pro seasons. When healthy, Conner has been an excellent three-down back with solid hands and plus short-yardage ability. When used as a workhorse, Conner really shined. In the six games in which Conner received 15-plus carries in 2020, he averaged 101 scrimmage yards and scored a touchdown in five of the six contests. According to the Fantasy Index magazine, Conner has actually accumulated 1,310 rushing yards, caught 59 passes for an additional 429 yards, and racked up 13 touchdowns in the past 16 games that he played a full-time role. Those are elite fantasy numbers. Conner is the kind of back who gets better late in games. At 233 pounds, he’s the kind of back that can be used in the second half to churn out tough yards and eat the clock. But after signing a very modest 1-year deal with the Cardinals, the fantasy community has big questions of just how many touches Conner will command in Arizona, where the incumbent running back is a favorite of the community. Chase Edmonds Once Kenyan Drake signed with Las Vegas, many football fans became excited at the prospect of Chase Edmonds becoming a star as the Cardinals’ starting running back. Whether that plays out or not remains to be seen but Edmonds isn’t really built (5-9, 205) to be a workhorse and hasn’t fared well when featured. Last season, Kliff Kingsbury gave Edmonds double-digit carries just twice and the results weren’t impressive. In those games, Edmonds averaged a mere 3.2 yards per carry and did not score a touchdown. Edmonds was far more effective when used as a change-of-pace option. Overall, he ranked 6th among all running backs with 68 targets and four of his five scores came as a receiver. The most likely scenario here is for Kingsbury to keep Edmonds in that satellite back role and insert Conner into the Drake role. If that plays out, not only can Edmonds thrive, but Conner will be in a prime position to also make a significant fantasy impact. Fit in Arizona Under Kingsbury, the Cardinals have averaged 20 rushing touchdowns per season. While QB Kyler Murray will run in plenty of those himself, Conner’s between-the-tackles prowess makes him an awfully appealing option to punch in those goal-line runs–a role that resulted in a healthy 10 scores for Drake one year ago. Conner has also been good in short-yardage situations. Inside the 5-yard line last season, Conner rushed for 12 yards on nine attempts with five touchdowns. Edmonds wasn’t even used in that area, racking up (-1) rushing yards on his line goal-line attempt all season. When the Steelers needed a single yard to either score or keep a drive alive, Conner was successful on 12-or-16 carries with the Steelers. Conversely, Edmonds had the second-lowest conversion rate of an NFL running back, cashing in just two of his six attempts. While Edmonds should remain a big part of Arizona’s passing attack, Conner himself is a very good receiver, which allows Kingsbury to utilize both of his backs in creative ways, including with both on the field at the same time. We’ve seen that wrinkle during the preseason and it adds more fuel to the fire of fantasy prognosticators trying to predict 2021 roles. Fantasy Forecast According to Fulltime Fantay’s strength of schedule tool, Arizona has the fifth-easiest schedule for running backs this season. Under Kingsbury, the Cardinals have been a top-10 rushing offense in both seasons, which included 2,237 yards and 22 TDs a year ago. Kingsbury also sent a third-round pick to the Raiders to acquire former Pro Bowl guard Rodney Hudson, which helps reinforce what was already a solid run-blocking unit. There should be plenty of opportunities for Conner to make a weekly impact in Arizona, and he’s in prime position to secure a weekly role with 12-15 carries. He also is in a favorable position to punch in double-digit rushing scores and could even snag 30-plus passes. That adds up to a strong RB2 season for a running back that is routinely falling outside the top 100 in ADP. And some of the high-stakes FFWC drafters have noticed this potential value, as Conner has garnered seventh-round attention in at least one FFWC draft according to Fulltime’s Advanced ADP tool. The Cardinals are poised to be one of the most exciting offenses in the league in 2021 and there should be plenty of opportunities for multiple runners to make a fantasy impact. James Conner is poised to carve out a solid role in this attack and that upside makes the fifth-year pro our 2021 Fantasy Football Comeback Player of the Year.
