# Mike Fanelli: Fanelli names six players he considers the best values relative to their Yahoo ADP for 2026 redraft leagues, including Drake Maye, Chase Brown (whom he expects to finish as a top-six running back), Quinshon Judkins (top-12 RB), Rashee Rice, DJ Moore and deep sleeper Greg Dulcich. **Claimed:** Aug 13, 2026 **Pundit:** Mike Fanelli — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/mike-fanelli **Outlet:** FantasyPros — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fantasypros **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.fantasypros.com/2026/08/top-6-fantasy-football-draft-values-on-yahoo-2026-2/ 9 checkable claims — 6 sleeper calls, 2 positional finishes and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 13 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > The Bengals did nothing to challenge Brown's role as the featured guy this offseason, meaning fantasy players should expect a top-six finish in 2026. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **DJ Moore to outplay his draft cost (ADP 65.4 | WR26)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: DJ Moore, Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - **Quinshon Judkins to outplay his draft cost (ADP 53.4 | RB22)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Quinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chase Brown to finish top 6 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Greg Dulcich to outplay his draft cost (ADP 132.9 | TE28)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Greg Dulcich, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet - **Quinshon Judkins to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Quinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rashee Rice to outplay his draft cost (ADP 32.7 | WR13)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chase Brown to outplay his draft cost (ADP 16.8 | RB9)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Drake Maye to outplay his draft cost (ADP 47.1 | QB4)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Drake Maye, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Malik Washington to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Malik Washington, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - DJ Moore — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/dj-moore - Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bills - Quinshon Judkins — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/quinshon-judkins - Cleveland Browns — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/browns - Chase Brown — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/chase-brown - Cincinnati Bengals — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bengals - Greg Dulcich — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/greg-dulcich - Miami Dolphins — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/dolphins - Rashee Rice — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/rashee-rice - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Drake Maye — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/drake-maye - New England Patriots — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/patriots - Malik Washington — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/malik-washington ## What others said about the same people - Chris Simms on Kansas City Chiefs: Simms went through the entire Week 3 slate with straight-up winners and predicted final scores, taking Jacksonville, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle, the Giants, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minnesota, San Francisco, Denver and Philadelphia. He also expected Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua to sit, Kyler Murray to play, and said Marvin Harrison Jr. projects as no better than a good No. 2 or high-end No. 3 receiver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/662b7ba3-1bf6-4ad0-9f93-9f2ab83143fd (scored 100) - Connor Rogers on Kansas City Chiefs: Rogers picked Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle and the Giants to win their Week 3 games, saying the Chiefs win by two touchdowns and the Giants by a field goal. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/83d1e88b-95a0-45ba-83d3-f86297170c6c (scored 100) - Chris Long on Cincinnati Bengals: Long liked the Rams over the Broncos on Sunday night even without Puka Nacua, and expected the Bills to beat the winless Chargers in Buffalo. He also backed the Bengals over the Steelers, expected an angry Detroit team to handle the Jets, and still thought both the Lions and Vikings could win the NFC North. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3df9ea25-e57f-4fd7-b20c-c910a1c3633a (scored 0) - Jake Arthur on Kansas City Chiefs: Arthur expects a close Chiefs win on Sunday Night Football at Arrowhead, predicting a final score of 27-23 for Kansas City. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ca7ab74e-ab34-4ed6-a77f-2c7e9f8c8c4d (scored 97.62) - Zach Hicks on Kansas City Chiefs: Hicks predicts a lower-scoring, field-goal-heavy game with the Chiefs beating the Colts 23-19, citing Indianapolis' red-zone success against Kansas City historically. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/ddbaddad-c15e-4e6f-a6ac-f066de6cdc2a (scored 97.62) - Nate Tice on New England Patriots: Tice picked the Bengals over the Texans in a low-scoring game, the Jaguars at Denver, the Bears over the Vikings, the Patriots over the Steelers and the Rams to edge the Giants, and his Hail Mary was the Cowboys scoring 40 on Washington. He also floated Abdul Carter as a possible All-Pro. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b6211c80-3d1c-46b8-8a0c-151fc0ba92de (scored 100) ## More sleeper calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Derek Brown on Travis Hunter: Derek Brown ("Debro") laid out a slate of wide receiver breakouts — Ricky Pearsall, Jalen Coker, Egbuka, Jalen Waddle, Joshua Palmer, George Pickens, DeVonta Smith and Travis Hunter — while fading Xavier Worthy, Tyreek Hill and the cheap Cleveland/late-round types, and gave his own rankings well ahead of ADP for several of them. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/effe2fda-3dcb-489f-a1e1-f8fa5b11ada7 (scored 100) - Tom Strachan on Ricky Pearsall: Tom Strachan backed Xavier Worthy, Jalen Coker, Egbuka, Jalen Waddle, Darnell Mooney, Zay Flowers, George Pickens, DeVonta Smith and Travis Hunter as values at their draft costs, while avoiding Jerry Jeudy and the Cleveland receivers. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c42eacc5-eb10-4103-a94d-50545a487cbb (scored 100) - Ryan Wormeli on Ricky Pearsall: Host Ryan Warmley endorsed Ricky Pearsall as a bet worth making and put his rookie-receiver capital in Tetairoa McMillan, while fading Zay Flowers at his cost and opting out of Marvin Harrison Jr. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/192d6e67-2e0e-49b3-bc82-4c8a77bd5950 (scored 100) - Chris Welsh on Tyler Warren: Welsh drafted Christian McCaffrey, Breece Hall, RJ Harvey, Tetairoa McMillan, Travis Hunter, the Rams and Saints receivers, Justin Fields (a top-10 QB), Drake Maye (QB10-14), Travis Kelce and Tyler Warren, while passing on Joe Mixon, the Commanders backfield, Tyreek Hill, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/9f0f2132-f3b8-4813-b2b1-374b827d86a8 (scored 100) - Pat Fitzmaurice on Chris Rodriguez Jr.: Pat Fitzmaurice gave draft-or-pass calls: reluctant drafts on Christian McCaffrey, RJ Harvey, Tetairoa McMillan (his WR16), Rashee Rice at a ninth-round price, Austin Ekeler, Chris Rodriguez, Chris Olave, Drake Maye (his QB8) and Tyler Warren, with passes on Breece Hall, Joe Mixon, Croskey-Merritt, Tyreek Hill, Travis Hunter, the Rams receivers and Justin Fields. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e36f1287-466c-4889-a7ea-c9d86f4b5182 (scored 100) - Joe Pisapia on RJ Harvey: Joey P (Joe Pisapia) played draft-or-pass on 2025 fantasy values: he passed on Christian McCaffrey at pick 7, Breece Hall, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Travis Hunter and Chris Olave, while drafting RJ Harvey, Tyreek Hill, Tetairoa McMillan, Puka Nacua, Tyler Warren and a late-round Joe Mixon. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c3c95c1c-64a4-42b6-9389-58d5fb5b27d1 (scored 100) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
