D'Andre Swift to outplay his draft cost (RB20)
RB20 feels a little low for him, and I'll likely bump him up in my rankings.

Jaylen Warren is my pick. At RB27, we're getting a back who produced 1,291 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns last season

RJ Harvey to outplay his draft cost (RB33)
I was out on RJ Harvey at his price last year, but at RB33 this year I'm all the way back in.

Rachaad White to outplay his draft cost (RB40 in ECR)
Rachaad White is currently RB40 in ECR and will at least be in the pass-catching role for this Commanders offense... At his current price, you could get a big payoff

De'Von Achane to outplay his draft cost (RB9, being drafted around 18th overall)
This year he has fallen to RB9, being drafted around 18th overall, which could benefit managers who take the risk
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 13, 2026 Jonathon Brooks to outplay his draft cost (outside the top 35)
It has to be Jonathon Brooks, and I suspect he won't be outside the top 35 at the RB position a few weeks from now

Kenny Gainwell to outplay his draft cost (RB37 ADP)
It's easy to imagine him carving out a similar role in Tampa Bay, and that makes his RB37 ADP look like a big-time bargain.

Kenneth Walker III to outplay his draft cost (RB12)
May not seem like a bargain at RB12, but Kenneth Walker is. He should be going in the first round of fantasy drafts.

Jonathon Brooks to outplay his draft cost (RB36)
his RB36 rank is free money... I still think RB36 is too cheap if the knee finally holds up.

Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost (5th round)
Bhayshul Tuten is currently being drafted in the 5th round of drafts... Tuten is an RB2 with RB1 upside at an RB3 price!

Brian Robinson to outplay his draft cost (near the end of every draft)
he will vulture some TDs here and there throughout the year for the Falcons. You can draft him near the end of every draft

Jahmyr Gibbs to outplay his draft cost (the first pick)
Jahmyr Gibbs is a cheat code in fantasy football this season, and it is unfair if you land him with the first pick.

Nicholas Singleton to outplay his draft cost (RB62)
He's sitting at RB62 in a shaky Titans backfield... he has the talent to become one of the biggest profit plays in fantasy this season.
