Takes in each band
Everyone writing under this banner, pooled into the numbers above. Counted by article, with a paginated series counting once — the same rule used for an individual, from the published methodology.
Teams and players where FantasyPros’s writers keep landing outside the room: at least twice, a call published under this banner sat beyond every other pundit who made a comparable one — higher or lower than all of them, in a room of at least five voices. The bar is the banner’s standing lean (+100 would be the most bullish voice in every room), and the accuracy covers just those out-on-a-limb calls, once they settle. Computed, never chosen.

Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost (going outside of the top 30 in FantasyPros’ Real-Time ADP)
For this list, I targeted running backs going outside of the top 30 in FantasyPros’ Real-Time ADP (average draft position). Here are four sleeper running backs that can help fantasy managers in 2026. ... Blake Corum (RB – LAR)
Jacory Croskey-Merritt to outplay his draft cost (RB36)
Croskey-Merritt has been trending up lately, climbing 10 spots in ADP over the past week, but he’s still reasonably priced at RB36. If he adds some receiving to his game, there’s some major fantasy potential here.
Jordan Mason to outplay his draft cost (going outside of the top 30 in FantasyPros’ Real-Time ADP)
Jordan Mason (RB – MIN) ... Training camp reports are all echoing that Mason looks like a stud in this scheme and that 2026 could be the year he’s finally unlocked.
Jordan Mason to record ? rushing yards
I’m expecting a career high in rushing yards from the fifth-year back
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
First, the Falcons will likely have Tua Tagovailoa under center early in the season
Hunter Henry to fall short of his draft cost (TE2 range)
Hunter Henry is in the TE2 range, but for some, his seven-touchdown 2025 campaign could spawn some belief.
Hunter HenryNew England Patriots
Hunter Henry to finish top 24 at his position, by fantasy points
Henry should be ranked much closer to TE24 than TE12
Hunter HenryNew England Patriots
Kyle Monangai to be 2nd on the depth chart
While he won’t replace D’Andre Swift as Chicago’s starter, Monangai is an excellent mid-round pick.
De'Zhaun Stribling to be 1st on the depth chart
While it was once considered a long shot, Stribling could end up being the 49ers’ best wide receiver as a rookie.
D'Andre Swift to be 1st on the depth chart
Some will claim that Kyle Monangai will replace Swift as the Bears’ starting running back this season. However, there is nothing to suggest that will happen.
De'Von Achane to fall short of his draft cost (RB6 ADP)
Achane has an RB6 ADP, which is too costly for me. I'd much rather have players in better offenses, like Chase Brown, Omarion Hampton and Kenneth Walker III.
Tucker Kraft to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points
Kraft has top-five tight end potential and the ability to anchor fantasy rosters if he stays healthy.
AJ Barner to finish top 10 at his position, by fantasy points
it could push him into top-10 territory and make him a steady weekly starter
Gunnar Helm to outplay his draft cost (late‑round)
Helm has a clear path to becoming one of the most valuable late‑round tight ends in fantasy drafts.
Brenton Strange to outplay his draft cost (mid‑round)
If his target share climbs even slightly, Strange has the potential to deliver consistent TE1 production and become one of the most valuable mid‑round picks at the position.
Brenton StrangeJacksonville Jaguars
Rashee Rice to fall short of his draft cost (Currently ranked as the WR13 in expert consensus rankings (ECR))
Currently ranked as the WR13 in expert consensus rankings (ECR), Rice is being treated as a low-end WR1... There are just too many "what ifs" to wrap my head around Rice's current price point. He's being drafted earlier than I'm comfortable with.
Romeo Doubs to be 2nd on the depth chart
Doubs lands in New England as Drake Maye's clear No. 2 behind A.J. Brown
Romeo DoubsNew England Patriots
De'Zhaun Stribling to outplay his draft cost (a Real-Time ADP around pick 100)
the case for drafting Stribling at cost holds: Christian Kirk is already dealing with a calf injury to open camp... and Stribling's skill set fits what the 49ers ask of their receivers
De'Zhaun StriblingSan Francisco 49ers
Jordyn Tyson to be 2nd on the depth chart
Tyson profiles as the eventual second target in the Saints offense once healthy
Jordyn TysonNew Orleans Saints
Cam Ward to outplay his draft cost (A late-round lottery ticket)
The cheapest swing on the list and a positive-regression case... A late-round lottery ticket with a real path to relevance.
Patrick Mahomes to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
Read Mahomes as a strong-volume QB1 buy who could settle back into the low-end QB1 range he lived in during 2023 and 2024, not as a lock to return to his MVP peak.
Baker Mayfield to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
He profiles as a top-12 quarterback you can draft as a mid-range QB2
Baker MayfieldTampa Bay Buccaneers
Dak Prescott to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
He is a locked-in QB1 with top-five upside going at a price that treats him like neither.
Baker Mayfield to outplay his draft cost (a mid-range QB2)
He profiles as a top-12 quarterback you can draft as a mid-range QB2, which is exactly the shape of a buy-low.
Baker MayfieldTampa Bay Buccaneers
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
He has terrific rapport with Kirk Cousins, who is going to start for at least the first chunk of the season.
