"2023 Fantasy Football: Trends, Sleepers, and Draft Strategies"

As the NFL offseason continues, some players' fantasy football stock is trending up while others are trending down. Alexander Mattison is now the featured running back for the Minnesota Vikings after the team released Dalvin Cook. Antonio Gibson is expected to have a bigger role in the passing game under new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Elijah Moore has been impressing in workouts with the Cleveland Browns.
