Each summer, I go through my PPR rankings and focus on players with explosive play juice and overall fantasy upside. We know about the Tier 1 players, such as Justin Jefferson, Christian McCaffrey, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and more. Fantasy stars. The Round 1 picks in your home leagues, right?
However, let's go a little deeper, with an eye on some of my favorite players who have a higher fantasy ceiling than you might think. I'll hit on multiple position groups here. Quarterbacks with top-five upside, along with two dual-threat running backs. Plus, we'll look at the wide receivers with big-play chops and a couple of tight ends who are still lying in the weeds based on their current projections.
So, let's get into it. Here are the players on my "All-Ceiling" team, starting with Trevor Lawrence, who is primed for a breakout season in Jacksonville.
Quarterbacks
Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
Playing in Doug Pederson's system, one of the best schemes I studied on tape, Lawrence has top-five upside in 2023. He averaged 17.3 fantasy points per game last season, with four games of 20 or more points in the second half of the Jags' schedule. He made a jump there. Plus, don't forget about his mobility on scrambles or designed runs. Lawrence finished the year with 291 rushing yards and five TDs on the ground. He can attack the edges of the formation with his legs.
