    Cyrus Allen to outplay his draft cost (last round pick)

    Cyrus Allen is just, like, the most fun last round pick you can make... If there's anybody that has a remote chance of being as impactful as, like, a Puka Nacua his rookie year... it's Cyrus Allen.

    MarShawn Lloyd to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 187.3 (RB68))

    He shouldn't go undrafted, as he's precisely the type of player gamers should stash instead of drafting a kicker or defense.

    Chris Rodriguez Jr. to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 157.3 (RB49))

    Rodriguez certainly has the chops to handle short-yardage work... it makes rostering Rodriguez worthwhile to see how the roles shake out in Jacksonville's backfield.

    Khalil Shakir to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 157.0 (WR57))

    I'm doubling down on my suggestion of Shakir as an exciting player to leave in drafts, with more upside than meets the eye.

    Daniel Jones to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 174.3 (QB27))

    Daniel Jones is the most intriguing, break-glass-in-an-emergency pick among players selected after pick 150... there's proof of concept of him playing as a QB1 in fantasy football for 10 weeks just last season.

    Jadarian Price to outplay his draft cost (ranked as the RB26 in ECR)

    For some reason, Price is ranked as the RB26 in ECR, behind committee/rotational backs like Quinshon Judkins, Bhayshul Tuten and TreVeyon Henderson. I'll invest in Price wherever possible.

    Currently ranked as the QB16 in both average draft position (ADP) and expert consensus rankings (ECR), I have little hesitation that Goff will have any issue surpassing that mark in short order.
