The 2023 NFL schedule was released on Thursday night, and it’s chock full of big-time matchups and games loaded with fantasy superstars. We’ll of course have wall-to-wall analysis on the new slate of games, but here’s a quick look at some of the most interesting little fantasy nuggets that I found in my first look at the schedule.
The Bye Weeks
The byes begin in Week 5 with the Browns, Buccaneers, Chargers and Seahawks and end in Week 14 with the Cardinals and Commanders. There are two weeks in this stretch with no byes (Week 8, Week 12) and four with four teams off. That includes Week 5, Week 9 (49ers, Broncos, Jaguars, Lions), Week 10 (Chargers, Chiefs, Dolphins, Eagles) and Week 11 (Colts, Falcons, Patriots, Saints). Two weeks will have two teams off, including Week 6 (Packers, Steelers) and Week 14.
