MarShawn Lloyd to outplay his draft cost (the late rounds)
Drafting Lloyd in the late rounds carries no real risk because your starting lineup is already set, so any production he gives you is a net positive.

Patrick Mahomes to outplay his draft cost (double‑digit rounds)
The market has officially dipped on Mahomes, and it is handing you a historic discount. When a generational talent slips into the double‑digit rounds, you do not hesitate and you pull the trigger.

Dalton Kincaid to outplay his draft cost (outside the top 100 picks)
Securing this kind of stability outside the top 100 picks gives you a major advantage, and you’re essentially getting a TE2 at a discount.

MarShawn Lloyd to outplay his draft cost (RB30)
Lloyd will probably be drafted much earlier than his current ADP... I love Lloyd's ADP right now.

Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost (RB35; 91st overall)
Blake Corum's ADP (RB35; 91st overall) prices him like a premium handcuff... Corum can beat his ADP without needing an injury... I want him on all my teams.

K.C. Concepcion to outplay his draft cost (current FantasyPros ADP remains around 132)

DeVonta Smith to outplay his draft cost (his current ADP of WR13 and 31st overall)
I'm targeting Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith at his current ADP of WR13 and 31st overall... which offers strong value relative to his projected role.

Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost (a borderline top-60 overall cost)
Tuten has the talent to blow past that in 2026, and at a borderline top-60 overall cost, that is a bet absolutely worth taking.

A.J. Brown to outplay his draft cost (his current ADP)
If I am picking in the back half of Round 1, there is zero chance Brown makes it to his current ADP.

Quentin Johnston to outplay his draft cost (a current ADP at only WR 39)
With a current ADP at only WR 39, Johnston is flying under the radar. I think he's just beginning to tap into his vast potential.

Chris Godwin Jr. to outplay his draft cost (WR35, 84th overall in 0.5 PPR, and WR37, 89th overall in PPR leagues)
Chris Godwin Jr. is the easy target for me at WR35, 84th overall in 0.5 PPR, and WR37, 89th overall in PPR leagues... as your WR4 or WR5? It's a no-brainer.

Jonah Coleman to outplay his draft cost (a real-time ADP of 148)
The 145th overall player on FantasyPros' ADP list currently has a real-time ADP of 148... Coleman is an ideal and priority stash in drafts this year.

Davante Adams to outplay his draft cost (his current ADP of 56)
Davante Adams is a steal at his current ADP of 56, offering low-end WR1 production at a discounted WR2 cost.

Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost (his 5th round ADP)
With his 5th round ADP, Watson is easily a player that will be on all my redraft leagues, and he will WELL EXCEED his draft position!

Washington remains an excellent upside swing in the later rounds.
Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost (his current ADP of RB34 and 96th overall)
Even so, a down 2026 season would qualify as only a small miss at his current ADP of RB34 and 96th overall... making Corum a bet worth taking.
Jaylen Waddle to outplay his draft cost (drafted as a WR2)
Waddle is one of my flag-plant players this year and can easily be drafted as a WR2 with WR1 upside.
Brock Bowers to outplay his draft cost (anywhere in the back half of the second round in 12-team drafts)
I think tight end is worth paying up for this year, and I'm willing to take Brock Bowers anywhere in the back half of the second round in 12-team drafts.

Dylan Sampson to outplay his draft cost (roughly 100 picks later)
Sampson offers a more appealing bet roughly 100 picks later.

Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (around WR30 overall)
the market appears to have settled on him around WR30 overall, despite the offseason hype train ... his floor each week with volume alone makes him a dangerous threat capable of pushing the WR1 envelope

DJ Moore (WR – BUF) ... Leaving Chicago to join Buffalo during the offseason was a major boon for his fantasy value, as he instantly becomes Josh Allen's top option in the passing game.
