The New York Jets have plenty of appeal to fantasy football managers ahead of the 2023 National Football League season.

The addition of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers has boosted the franchise's overall outlook as well as its skill players' fantasy value. Eight Jets, including Rodgers, made it onto Michael Fabiano's "2023 Fantasy Football Top 200 Rankings."

Fabiano, SI's award-winning fantasy football analyst, has been bullish on second-year players Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall ever since the Rodgers' trade rumors erupted in March. Both weapons unsurprisingly landed in the Top 25 on his updated list.

Wilson is the "big winner" fantasy-wise from Rodgers' arrival according to Fabiano.

"This kid has a very high ceiling with Aaron Rodgers throwing him the football. In fact, I can see Wilson being a top-30 overall pick and certainly a top-12 wide receiver from a fantasy perspective," said Fabiano back in March.

Hall is a must-know name in the fantasy community, too.

"I also like this move for Breece Hall," said Fabiano. "Assuming he comes back healthy from that torn ACL, he could also be an RB1 in fantasy."

In his latest position-by-position player rankings, Wilson and Hall both own the No. 10 spot in their respective groups.

After being drafted 10th overall in 2022, Wilson quickly established himself as the Jets' WR1. In PPR fantasy formats, he amassed 217.3 points (83 receptions, 1,103 receiving yards, 4 TD) en-route to the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

The Jets used four different quarterbacks last year. In 2023, Wilson will be catching passes from a future Hall-of-Famer.

The 6-foot-1 Hall, who has added value as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, grossed 117.1 fantasy points in only 6.5 games (463 rush yards, 19 receptions, 218 receiving yards, 5 total TD) as a first-year pro.

Rodgers is the third-ranked Jet on the fantasy draft board, sitting at No. 117 overall. Fabiano slid the four-time NFL MVP down two notches to QB16 in his newest positional projections. The 39-year old quarterback is in line for around 4,000 passing yards and 25--28 touchdown passes according to Fabiano.

Free-agent receiver signings Allen Lazard (128) and Mecole Hardman (194) made the Top 200 list. Meanwhile, backup running backs Michael Carter (139) and Zonovan Knight (196) also represented Gang Green. Tight end Tyler Conklin landed at No. 184 overall.
