Walt· Aug 4, 2026
Walt lists his favorite 2026 fantasy values — players he expects to outperform their Round 5-9 ADPs — including Luther Burden, David Montgomery, Jameson Williams, Bhayshul Tuten, Christian Watson, Rhamondre Stevenson, Jordyn Tyson, Parker Washington, Kyle Monangai, Blake Corum and Jordan Addison. He also backs Tuten as a rushing-title candidate and sees Stevenson leading New England's backfield in touches.
“Washington is a great bargain in the middle of the sixth round, let alone at his current ADP of 8.02!”
