    Bucky Irving to outplay his draft cost (his preseason average draft position (ADP))

    So far, it's been far from a committee. While the offense has struggled overall, you have to like the volume for Irving. He looks like he'll be a steal at his preseason average draft position (ADP).

    Adonai Mitchell to outplay his draft cost (outside the top 100 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings)

    Adonai Mitchell. Green Bay should be leading most of the game, and Omar Cooper Jr. is banged up... All it takes is one deep ball for Adonai to pay off.

    Antonio Williams to outplay his draft cost (near the top 150)

    My name is near the top 150, and his name is Antonio Williams. The 3rd-round rookie from Clemson was solid at his debut in the NFL

    Khalil Shakir to outplay his draft cost (outside the top 100)

    for players outside the top 100, they don't come much more sure of a thing than Shakir... he can easily post a 5-6 reception game with 50-70 yards

    Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost (priced as a low-end QB2)

    Malik Willis is a prototypical Konami code QB, yet he's priced as a low-end QB2 despite having an aggressive rushing profile.

    Greg Dulcich to outplay his draft cost (TE27)

    If I'm waiting until the final rounds to draft a tight end, Greg Dulcich is exactly the type of swing I want to take... but at TE27 there is virtually no opportunity cost.

    Matthew Stafford won the MVP award last season, yet that is not enough to convince the ECR that Stafford is a Top 15 QB in Fantasy Football.

    Michael Wilson to outplay his draft cost (a late 7th/early 8th round pick)

    Owners who grab Wilson will be rewarded with a sleeper that could top 1,000 yards and get 7+ touchdowns; not bad for a late 7th/early 8th round pick!

    Xavier Worthy to outplay his draft cost (at the end of your drafts)

    You’re probably better off drafting Xavier Worthy at the end of your drafts, and leaving someone else choose to grab Rashee Rice inside the top 20 receivers.

    Luther Burden III to outplay his draft cost (at cost)

    I'd rather take someone like Luther Burden III at cost. He provides more upside on a Bears offense that looks ready to explode.

    Rashid Shaheed to outplay his draft cost (late-round)

    Now fully immersed in the organization, he provides late-round value as a deep threat with spike-week potential. There's opportunity for targets next to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, making Shaheed an intriguing bench stash.
