Welcome To Our 2023 Rookie Prospect Profile Series!
We’re kicking off this year at Fantasy In Frames with our 2023 NFL Rookie Prospect Profile series, where each fantasy analyst will provide you with a 5-10 video breakdown of each prospect’s overall metrics from college, their strengths and weaknesses, and overall fantasy assessment heading to Combine and NFL Draft season.

Here is our breakdown of 2023 Dynasty Rookie Prospect: Israel Abanikanda!
Player Summary
With his athletic profile (Relative Athletic Score (RAS) of 9.61), age (will still be 20 years old as a rookie) and production, over 1,400 yards and 20 TDs last season, the sky’s the limit for Abanikanda. His Proday saw him fly into the Top-5 lists of many fantasy analysts, and NFL Draft analysts such as Chris Simms & Connor Rodgers have mentioned Abanikanda as one to watch recently. His 21 total TDs led the FBS last year, and in time I wouldn’t be surprised to see him become a TD-scoring machine at the next level too.
Fantasy Summary
Draft capital and landing spots are hugely important when considering where we slot prospects’ value during our rookie drafts. Still, Abanikanda’s current 22nd overall & RB9, non-Superflex, ADP (DLF) are absolute SMASHES. I expect the New York native to receive day 2 Draft Capital and work as an RB2 during his rookie season. He’s a player I’m actively targeting during my rookie drafts.
