    Chase Brown to outplay his draft cost (2.04, RB10 Yahoo! ADP and his 2.08, RB10 ESPN ADP)

    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.

    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)

    TreVeyon Henderson to outplay his draft cost (RB26 ranking)

    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.
