I believe this will carry over in 2026, making Williams a great value at the end of the fifth round.
Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 6.07)
When healthy, he's a big-time play-maker, so I like the value with him in the middle of Round 6.

Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Jaguars. ADP: 5.11. ... Tuten is the incumbent and has more upside.

Montgomery's real time ADP at this very moment ... it's RB twenty forty six point seven overall... But the rushing floor is very sturdy.
Deebo Samuel Sr. to outplay his draft cost (mid-to-late-round pick)
He is worthy of a mid-to-late-round pick. As usual, he should be a weekly fantasy starter if healthy, and health has always been the concern.
