    Michael Pittman to outplay his draft cost (the WR42, typically in the eighth round)

    Pittman is currently coming off the board as the WR42, typically in the eighth round... he seems to be the better pick at cost between the two Pittsburgh wideouts.

    Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (Washington's current fantasy football ADP is 83)

    Washington's current fantasy football ADP is 83, meaning he's going around the round seven/round eight turn. That's far too low if he comes out guns blazing and picks up where he left off at the end of 2025.

    Josh Downs to outplay his draft cost (WR46 in Real-Time ADP)

    right now he sits at WR46 in Real-Time ADP. You can get him in round nine, but you'll likely need to grab him a round early if you really want him.
