One of the 2023 Fantasy football sleepers the model is predicting: Lions quarterback Jared Goff. The first overall pick from the 2016 NFL Draft has had a rollercoaster of a career and seemed to find his footing in 2022 during his second season in Detroit. Goff finished the season as the QB10 in fantasy scoring after throwing for 4,438 yards with 29 touchdowns.

Goff is projected to be drafted around the ninth round in many 2023 Fantasy football drafts since there is skepticism he won't be able to repeat last season's performance. With offensive coordinator Ben Johnson returning in 2023, there is a chance Goff could be a surprise fantasy points-getter once again.

Another sleeper that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2023 have identified: Eagles running back D'Andre Swift. The former Georgia star was a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and productive when on the field for the Lions. However, injuries and backfield competition limited his impact. He missed at least three games in all three seasons in Detroit and shared responsibilities with veterans like Jamaal Williams and Adrian Peterson.

However, Swift still averaged 4.6 yards per carry and rushed for 18 touchdowns on 364 carries. He also had a sizable impact as a receiver, catching 156 passes for 1,198 yards and seven scores. Now, he joins an Eagles offense that will try to replace the lost production of Miles Sanders and Swift is listed at the top of the Eagles depth chart. That's why the model ranks him ahead of running backs like Cam Akers and Isiah Pacheco, who are being drafted at least a round earlier on average.
