RB Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals: Brown is the featured running back in an offense that is expected to make fantasy-friendly schematic improvements this season. ... Draft him confidently at his 2.04, RB10 Yahoo! ADP and his 2.08, RB10 ESPN ADP.

Zay Flowers to outplay his draft cost (consensus ADP closer to WR15 and No. 42 overall)
If that touchdown number comes up at all, which I think it will, Flowers can beat this price pretty comfortably.

Stefon Diggs to outplay his draft cost (later rounds of your draft)
Diggs has a great chance to deliver another WR2 season, yet you can still find him sitting there in the later rounds of your draft.

Travis Etienne to outplay his draft cost (around RB18 in Half-PPR ECR)
I already have him at RB15, and at this price he is one of the backs I want on as many teams as possible.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 27, 2026 Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost (low-end RB3 ADP)
I've been aggressively targeting Blake Corum... A down season for Corum in 2026 would be a small miss, given his low-end RB3 ADP.

Tetairoa McMillan to outplay his draft cost (WR17 / 3rd round)
Personally, I'm taking WR17 Tet McMillan over WR15 Zay Flowers in drafts anyway... I'll take those numbers all day in the 3rd round, well ahead of a guy in Flowers

TreVeyon Henderson to outplay his draft cost (RB26 ranking)
I didn't think I would be taking much TreVeyon Henderson , but at an RB26 ranking, it's hard to find more talented players or those with more upside.

Jaylen Waddle to outplay his draft cost (around WR21 / fourth-round price)
With Waddle being drafted around WR21, I am getting a player with legitimate top-12 upside at a fourth-round price.

Ladd McConkey to outplay his draft cost (outside of the top-12)
There are not many receivers outside of the top-12 that have top-5 upside, besides Ladd McConkey . He was the WR12 overall and WR19 in PPG his rookie year, and that should be his floor entering this year.

Zay Flowers to outplay his draft cost (Round 2-3 turn)
Flowers could set new personal bests across the board in 2026. In full-PPR, I'm considering him at the Round 2-3 turn all day long.

Jacksonville's Parker Washington is currently going for WR30, and at that price, I will have as many shares of him as I possibly can.

MarShawn Lloyd to outplay his draft cost (RB ADP of 55)
With an RB ECR around 56 and an RB ADP of 55, Lloyd is more than a handcuff. He is a free late-round swing with standalone value and legitimate league-winning upside.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 27, 2026 Quentin Johnston to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 10.10)
Quentin Johnston , Los Angeles Chargers (ADP: 10.10) ... At the end of the 10th round, that upside is well worth the price.
Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 7.06)
Parker Washington , Jacksonville Jaguars (ADP: 7.06) ... Washington has already shown enough to make the upside well worth chasing in the eighth round.
Luther Burden III to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 5.10)
Luther Burden III , Chicago Bears (ADP: 5.10) ... An expanded role, combined with increased usage in favorable personnel groupings, positions Burden for a breakout second season.

Keaton Mitchell , Los Angeles Chargers (ADP: 16.01) ... If Mitchell approaches Achane's level of production, he offers top-10 upside at the position.
Chris Rodriguez Jr. to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 13.12)
Chris Rodriguez Jr. , Jacksonville Jaguars (ADP: 13.12) ... That makes Rodriguez an intriguing late-round option.
Tyjae Spears to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 14.10)
Spears is a worthwhile late-round option because he doesn’t necessarily need a Pollard injury to gain fantasy value.
Najee Harris to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 20.10)
Najee Harris , New York Giants (ADP: 20.10) ... he has a clearer path than most handcuffs to standalone flex value.

Dalton Kincaid to outplay his draft cost (8.12, TE11 Yahoo! ADP; 11.02, TE15 ESPN ADP)
His 8.12, TE11 Yahoo! ADP should be treated as a buy-low opportunity. His 11.02, TE15 ESPN ADP must be exploited aggressively.
