A thrilling first week to the 2023 NFL season give fans hope that the campaign will be filled with the kind of drama that dominated the first set of games.
Some big performances around the league will have fantasy players making changes to their squads, as individual matchups and team-based performances are taken into consideration for the upcoming games.
Here DAZN chooses five of the best fantasy players who could prove the difference in fantasy leagues.
Anthony Richardson, QB, Indianapolis Colts

Richardson is a pure stat producer — in his first NFL game last week he passed for 223 yards and a passing touchdown and he also ran the ball 10 times for 40 yards and a rushing TD.
He'll look to do similar things against the Houston Texans this week.
Christian McCaffrey, RB, San Francicso 49ers

McCaffrey will get lots of opportunities — he had 22 carries for 152 yards and a TD against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1, making it 10 straight games in which he's scored.
The 49ers face the Los Angeles Rams this week, and McCaffrey feasted in this matchup last year.
Stefon Diggs, WR, Buffalo Bills

Make what you will of the Bills' collapse against the New York Jets last week, but Diggs was not part of the problem.
As Josh Allen's No. 1 target, Diggs will continue to rack up receptions. With Allen looking to redeem himself after a woeful outing in Week 1, look for him to connect with Diggs early and often against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Travis Kelce, TE, Kansas City Chiefs

If Kelce plays this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he'll feast. Of course, this is a big 'if' as Kelce missed the Chiefs' season opener and he was missed by Patrick Mahomes as K.C. lost to the Detroit Lions.
This all seems to be leading up to a triumphant return for Kelce, who would fasce a Jaguars team that didn't do well prevented opposing TEs from racking up the yardage last season.
Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans

Henry accumulated over 100 total yards (63 rushing, 56 receiving) last week against the New Orleans Saints and now the Titans face a Los Angeles Chargers team that allowed 5.4 yards per carry last season, worst in the NFL.
The situation is primed for Henry to continue cooking.
