# Walt: 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.

**Claimed:** Aug 4, 2026
**Pundit:** Walt — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/walt
**Outlet:** Walter Football — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/walter-football
**How it reached us:** published in writing
**Original:** https://walterfootball.com/fantasy2026values.php

17 checkable claims — 11 sleeper calls, 5 depth chart calls and 1 positional finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 21 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.

> Washington is a great bargain in the middle of the sixth round, let alone at his current ADP of 8.02!

## What others said about the same people

- Jason Harmon on Max Brosmer: Harmon expects the Vikings' quarterback room to stay intact while Kyler Murray is hurt, and predicts Max Brosmer will be released and re-signed to the practice squad since Minnesota won't carry four QBs. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/fa393501-3f38-481e-8e75-48125587e911 (scored 0)
- Logan Lazarczyk on Kirk Cousins: Ahead of the trade deadline, they float three Raiders moves: shipping Kirk Cousins to Minnesota if the Vikings offer a second-round pick, selling Maxx Crosby to Dallas for a first-rounder plus, and acquiring Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. for a second- or third-round pick. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d0fd408a-7dcd-4e50-ac62-6b4510a8a800 (scored 100)
