Fantasy football: McCaffrey, Chase, Hill lead Top 200 rankings

MIAMI, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- Christian McCaffrey, Ja'Marr Chase, Tyreek Hill and Justin Jefferson lead my annual Top 200 fantasy football player rankings for 2023.

McCaffrey should reward his fantasy football stock owners with terrific production once again, if he stays healthy this season. The San Francisco 49ers star should be a focal point of the offense, which boasts a strong offensive line and plethora of playmakers.

My Top 14 features seven running backs, six wide receivers and one tight end. Check out my individual quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end rankings for more details about my favorite players at those positions.

Some defensive/special teams units and kickers are listed at the end of my overall Top 200 rankings. Stay tuned for updates to the overall rankings in the coming weeks, as teams trim rosters and players disappoint or impress coaches and sustain injuries.
