Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson was once viewed as a top-12 dynasty wide receiver, but even after a 147-target season, he is falling down the rankings.

2023 Dynasty Fantasy Football Faller: D'Andre Swift

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift has been a fascinating fantasy asset through his first three NFL seasons, but he's becoming more frustrating than fascinating as he approaches his age-24 season.

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields was drafted behind Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, and Trey Lance in the 2021 NFL Draft, but after a breakout 2022 fantasy campaign, he's arguably more valuable than any signal-caller in his draft class.
