# 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 finishe — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. 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! *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Luther Burden III to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 4.11)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Luther Burden III, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rhamondre Stevenson to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 7.12)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 6.07)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 5.11)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rhamondre Stevenson to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jordyn Tyson to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jordyn Tyson, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **David Montgomery to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: David Montgomery, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jordyn Tyson to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 8.01)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Jordyn Tyson, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jordan Addison to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 9.11)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Jordan Addison, Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **David Montgomery to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 5.06)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: David Montgomery, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost (9.08)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jameson Williams to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 5.10)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Bhayshul Tuten to finish top 1 at his position, by rushing yards** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carnell Tate to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Carnell Tate, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kyle Monangai to outplay his draft cost (8.07)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Kyle Monangai, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Christian Watson to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 8.02)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Luther Burden III — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/luther-burden-iii - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bears - Rhamondre Stevenson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/rhamondre-stevenson - New England Patriots — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/patriots - Christian Watson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/christian-watson - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers - Bhayshul Tuten — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/bhayshul-tuten - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Jordyn Tyson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jordyn-tyson - New Orleans Saints — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/saints - David Montgomery — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/david-montgomery - Houston Texans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/texans - Jordan Addison — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jordan-addison - Minnesota Vikings — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/vikings - Blake Corum — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/blake-corum - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/rams - Jameson Williams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jameson-williams - Detroit Lions — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/lions - Carnell Tate — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/carnell-tate - Kyle Monangai — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/kyle-monangai - Parker Washington — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/parker-washington ## What others said about the same people - Chris Simms on New Orleans Saints: 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 47.62) - Connor Rogers on Detroit Lions: 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 Los Angeles Rams: 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.
