We broke down our favorite picks of every round with Derek Brown of FantasyPros, here’s a quick synopsis on three of our favorite picks at cost…
Colston Loveland, Round 4 ADP: 48
Right now slotted at the 4/5 turn in 12 team drafts, Loveland presents genuine TE1 overall upside for a fraction of the price tag of a Brock Bowers or Trey McBride pick. We saw Loveland’s mini breakout in the back half of the year as he was the TE5 overall from weeks 9 through 17. But what most people aren’t talking about is just how good he was in the postseason, commanding a team high 25 targets in Chicago’s wildcard and divisional round games en route to 12 catches for 193 yards. If you extrapolate his 2025 Weeks 16-20 into a full season, he would’ve ranked among tight ends: 1st in target share, 1st in receiving yards, 1st in first read target share, and 4th in YPRR.
Carnell Tate, Round 6 ADP: 72
Another guy at the turn, but this time it’s the 6/7 turn for Carnell Tate. It’s not often that you can get a WR with #4 overall NFL Draft capital this late in fantasy football drafts. For reference, last season we were drafting Tetairoa McMillan around pick 56 as the WR25 and he went on to finish as the WR15. This year, we’re drafting Carnell Tate as the WR30 off the board despite the fact that he’s now attached to a young ascending first overall pick that now has an offensive coordinator in Brian Daboll who loves to spam his #1 receiver. I’m easily taking this shot.
Chris Godwin, Round 8 ADP: 96
Sure, I know he’s not Emeka Egbuka or Jalen McMillan. But he was the WR1 overall in fantasy before getting hurt back in 2024, and then the team went out and paid him a 3-year, $66 million contract extension after that injury. The Buccaneers have committed to Chris Godwin, and although he’s not the most exciting name, he’ll be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the departure of Mike Evans and the vacated targets here in Tampa Bay’s pass happy offense led by Baker Mayfield. His role is so unbelievably secure in this offense and he should smash his WR38 price right now.

We’re breaking down 5 rookies who are likely to skyrocket in value for both Dynasty and Redraft Fantasy Football
Here’s a breakdown of one of the most important rookies discussed:
Malachi Fields
I think Malachi Fields already had an opportunity to carve out a serious role in this New York Giants offense whose WR depth chart that would have set the league on fire back in 2018 with Odell Beckham Jr, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Darius Slayton. But now with more and more reports that Malik Nabers will not be ready for Week 1, Fields will have a genuine opportunity to build a rapport with Jaxson Dart and built serious buzz during training camp. Once those camp hype videos start dropping in late July, suffice to say Malachi Fields is going to be making a lot of highlight plays for a team that’s watched as closely as the New York Giants.
A high third round pick who is an athletic freak at 6’4” that ranked 3rd among all WRs in the 2026 draft class in Playerprofiler’s athleticism score. The WR95 in redraft and WR70 in dynasty already started making a splash at OTAs, connecting with Dart and garnering praise from Harbaugh. GM Brandon Brown also praised Fields as a “Low start-up cost” player, because of the confidence they have in his ability to contribute immediately this season. The situation is perfect for Fields and whether or not you’re in on him this season, I expect to see his price rise rapidly through late July and early August especially if more discouraging news releases regarding Malik Nabers availability.

We’re breaking down 5 of the biggest training camp battles that will most heavily impact ADP and player prices for both Dynasty and Redraft Fantasy Football
Here’s a breakdown of one of the most important camp battles discussed:
Tua Tagovailoa VS Michael Penix Jr.
Obviously even in Superflex leagues nobody is clamoring to start Tua or Penix regardless of who gets the job. That being said, the winner of this camp battle is going to have a huge impact on the pass catchers in Atlanta. Starting at the RB position, we’ve already seen what Tua can accomplish with an impressive pass catcher in the backfield. If Tua gets the job, it could lead to an even better fantasy environment for Bijan Robinson who already managed to put up elite receiving numbers for a running back playing with Michael Penix Jr who ranked 38th among QBs last season with a 2.9% check-down rate in 2025. As for Kyle Pitts, it seems he’d also benefit greatly from playing with Tua. Just recently in 2024, Tua made sure to keep Jonnu Smith heavily involved to the tune of 88 Receptions, 884 Yards, and 8 TDs en route to a TE4 finish. Pitts hasn’t been quite as successful with Michael Penix Jr, however, as just last season going into Week 12 following Michael Penix’s torn ACL, he was the TE18 overall. Then Kirk Cousins replaces Penix, and we see Kyle Pitts explode all the way to a TE2 finish on the season.
So it sounds like everybody would benefit from Tua taking over right? Well the numbers show it’s very clear that Drake London would not only fail to see a bump, his production would likely crater. London and Penix have quietly built an elite rapport and it’s been very clear throughout London’s career how much more productive he was when playing with Michael Penix:
| QB | Games | Rec PG | YPG | TDs PG | Top 12 Fantasy Finish % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cousins | 17 | 5.1 | 60.5 | 0.47 | 17.6% |
| Penix | 13 | 6.8 | 96.8 | 0.67 | 46.2% |
Obviously Kirk Cousins is now in Las Vegas, but the point remains true here that London and Penix have a clear connection. Tua’s lower ADoT (5th lowest among all QBs who played 250 or more snaps last season) may serve as a benefit for guys like Bijan and Kyle Pitts, but could prove to be a challenge for Drake London managers as part of London’s ceiling as a fantasy asset is his elite separation downfield that could be underutilized if Tua is under center and opting for safer short to intermediate routes. Who would you rather have in Superflex as the starting QB for the Falcons? And which fantasy asset on this offense do you think is most impacted, good or bad, by who gets the starting job?

Breaking down 6 players and their fast food value menu comparison that’ll give you far more similar production than their ADP gap suggests. Give us your best value menu player and their pricier comparison! Here’s an example of two of the pairs we broke down:
Caleb Williams vs Bo Nix | Sonic Milkshake vs Chocolate Milk
Look I love a milkshake as much as the next guy, but when a bottle of chocolate milk is this cheap you’ve gotta pay attention. The Iceman, or in this case the Ice-Cream-Man, is going off the board as the QB7 right now. But for some reason Bo Nix, who finished with the exact same PPG last season and 4.2 more PPG in their rookie years, is going as the QB14. On top of that, Caleb Williams is losing one of his top weapons in DJ Moore while Bo Nix is gaining one in Jaylen Waddle. The opportunity cost here might just be too much for me to pull the trigger on Caleb Williams, or the milkshake, when I can grab Bo Nix, some refreshing chocolate milk, and maybe even get some fries all for the same price.
Joe Burrow vs Jared Goff | McDonald’s Sausage McGriddle vs Sausage McMuffin
Everybody knows how good a McGriddle is, but why does nobody talk about how similar a McMuffin is for less than half the price? That truly is Joe Burrow and Jared Goff. Yeah the McGriddle has aura, but the McMuffin just wrapped up his 4th straight Top-10 QB season with Dan Campbell and the Lions. Don’t sleep on the integrity of the McMuffin either as it’s reliable as they come, with Jared Goff not missing a single start in that four year run. The argument I always hear is that yeah Joe Burrow has top-5 upside, or even top-3 upside, but Jared Goff Chas finished as the QB9, 6, and 7 in his last three seasons so clearly his upside is there as well. If faced with choosing a McGriddle or a McMuffin all things equal, give me the McGriddle. But if the price difference is a whopping QB3 vs QB16, give me that McMuffin every single time.
If you want to hear the other four, check out the video and leave a comment with your personal favorite value menu player and their more expensive fantasy football comp!
We broke down 5 of our favorite cheap buys in dynasty fantasy football, here’s our breakdown on two of them:
Stefon Diggs
We all know Diggs isn’t on an NFL team currently, but we know he will be, and he is basically free at a price of WR56 in redraft and WR92 in dynasty. In the words of Stefon Diggs himself, he played 52% of snaps last season and still finished with 85 catches for 1,045 yards coming off an ACL. It wasn’t just the stats that impressed though, he was PFF’s seventh highest graded receiver last year en route to finishing as the WR17 overall in fantasy. Diggs will no longer be attached to Drake Maye, but the good news is that it seems clear Diggs is aiming to sign with a contender whether that be Washington (Brandon Aiyuk doesn’t seem to be much of an issue anymore lol), Kansas City, Baltimore, or maybe even a reunion with Buffalo. Diggs has proven he still has a lot of gas left in the tank and his price tag feels disrespectful right now for a guy that has the upside of giving you solid WR2 numbers or at the very least strong flex consideration.
Chig Okonkwo
The post-hype sleeper breakout is here for Chig Okonkwo, who even said himself that he feels that he’s finally in a place where he can “fully unleash. Okonkwo quietly signed a three-year $27M contract with the Commanders the offseason and the situation could lead to fantasy gold for the 26-year-old tight end priced as the TE16 in redraft and TE17 in dynasty. Chig Okonkwo may have been a lot better than you thought last season, as he finished fourth in YAC, third in contested catch rate, and third in average separation among all TEs with at least 50 targets. Now he finds himself in Washington with the same QB and offense that elevated ZACH ERTZ to the TE7 overall in 2024 and the TE8 overall in 2025 through Week 13 before his ACL tear. With buzz already growing that Okonkwo could be fed targets in this Washington offense, he feels like a no brainer with high upside where he’s being priced.

Zach from FantasyLand and DynastyLand joins the show to talk the 6 best values in Fantasy Football!
Breakdown of 3 of the Players Discussed:
Rhamondre Stevenson
The price for Rhamondre is too enticing for Zach. For years we’ve been so excited to draft David Montgomery in the fifth round, but why are we so much less excited now that the name is Rhamondre Stevenson? The situations aren’t all that different from Montgomery’s time in Detroit. Last year the Patriots were top-6 in rushing attempts, yards, and touchdowns. Meanwhile, Rhamondre was one of four running backs to finish top-10 in yards after contact per attempt and missed tackles per attempt (the other names including Bijan Robinson, Javonte Williams, and Omarion Hampton). It’s easy to get distracted by the shiny new toy in the Patriots backfield, but if you want a true value look no further than Rhamondre Stevenson going as the RB29 in redraft and RB38 in dynasty.
Brock Purdy
Mr. Irrelevant, who tied for second in PPG among all QBs last season, and averaged 32 PPG in the fantasy playoffs, can now be drafted at the alarmingly low price of the QB12, and valued as the QB13 in dynasty. Purdy was PFF’s 7th highest graded passer last season, and now adds Mike Evans as a brand new piece of this 49ers offense. Sometimes we look at touchdown rate as something we expect to regress, but Brock Purdy has proven that he’s just incredibly efficient. In his just 4 seasons as an NFL QB, Purdy has finished first twice in touchdown rate as well as a fourth overall finish. The upside is high here for a guy being valued at the very bottom of the QB1 range.
Josh Downs
The perfect candidate for a post-hype sleeper here in 2026. The Colts are now top-10 in the NFL in vacated targets among receivers, headlined by the departures of Michael Pittman. Now with Alec Pierce still recovering from an ankle surgery that’s continued to keep him out of practices, Downs is operating as the Colts #1 receiver this offseason. The buzz is now growing out of Indianapolis that Downs will finally have the opportunity to play in 2WR sets and his ceiling is being overlooked. Even Shane Steichen has come out and said they’ll look to get Downs more targets this season and move him out of just playing in the slot. Downs is an absolute steal being valued as the WR44 in redraft and WR36 in dynasty

In today’s episode we’re breaking down the players we’re out on at cost and fading for the 2026 Fantasy Football Season
Breakdown of 3 of the Players Discussed:
Omarion Hampton
I know everybody is going to hate this one, but I think we’re all a bit over our skis for Omarion Hampton here in 2026. Priced right now as the RB8, there is a lot of red flags signaling that Hampton could fall short of this premium price tag. He’s by no means a bad running back, and will likely have a good year in the NFL, but in regard to fantasy production this is too rich for my blood. I’ve heard a lot about what Mike McDaniel could do for this run game, but not as much about how hard he lobbied to get Keaton Mitchell in the building. So much so that he literally printed out wanted posters and hung them on GM Joe Hortiz’s wall. We’re also quick to forget that Kimani Vidal was heavily used last year and was actually pretty good. He had 4 top 8 fantasy finishes and when things mattered most in the playoffs, he played 93% of snaps compared to Hampton who only played 3% despite being active for his 5th consecutive game where the starters played. I don’t say this to pretend that either of these guys will get more opportunities, volume, or snaps than Omarion Hampton. I say it to shine light on the fact that maybe Hampton won’t dominate this backfield like many are projecting. I love the passing work, but on the ground I have concerns as well. Despite being perceived as a big-bodied and physical back, he only ranked 32nd in yards after contact per carry among all RBs with at least 50 carries. On top of that he ranked 32nd in fantasy points per rush among running backs with at least 50 carries. Pull out the pitchforks if you must, but there are other guys in this range I’d rather take the shot on
Alec Pierce
Alec Pierce is a phenomenal real life receiver who brings a tremendous spark to the Colts offense, but I fear that may not translate to paying off his WR32 price tag this season. Clearly an elite field stretcher, but Pierce has never had a season with 50 or more receptions. He’s always a big play threat to score long bomb touchdowns, but do we really want to bet on those coming consistently with Daniel Jones coming off a torn achilles? In fact, 4 of Pierce’s 6 TDs, and his two best fantasy performances, of last year came after Daniel Jones got hurt. So he wasn’t even at his best with a healthy Daniel Jones, let alone one coming off of the torn achilles. The nail in the coffin for me was the ankle injury though. He had surgery this offseason, did not participate in OTAs or minicamp at all, and the Colts have been very cryptic about his timetable to return. I’m fading Alec Pierce and loading up on Josh Downs shares before the price gets out of control.
De’Von Achane
This pains me as a De’Von Achane truther, but I don’t think an elite fantasy football season that will pay off an RB7 price is in the cards for 2026. There’s not a lot of scenarios anymore where having Tua Tagovailoa as your QB is a boost, but this was one of them. In 2024, his last full season as a starter, Tua ranked 5th in checkdown rate among all QBs with at least 200 dropbacks. Our low ADoT king make sure that his safety valve was always involved last season as Achane ranked third in target share among all NFL running backs in 2024 and 2nd in 2025. Now the team brings in Malik Willis, a run-first QB who in his small sample size last year boasted the highest scramble rate in the NFL and the fourth highest ADoT of any QB who played 50 or more snaps last season. Also, Achane was the RB5 last year but 139.8 of his PPR points came through the air and I have serious concerns that the number could drop significantly along with his rushing opportunities. This fear of decreased rushing volume is due to the likelihood of a lot of negative game scripts for this Miami Dolphins team whose win total sits at 4.5 as of today. Achane profiles as an unbelievably efficient running back who just won’t have the opportunities necessary to finish as a top-10 running back.

Derek Brown from FantasyPros joins the show to talk 6 Must-Draft Fantasy Football Players for 2026!
Breakdown of 3 of the Players Discussed:
Jaylen Waddle
Jaylen Waddle, one of the biggest fantasy movers this offseason, goes from a Miami Dolphins offense ranking 29th in neutral passing rate to a Denver Broncos team that was fourth in that same metric last season. If you’re wondering whether or not Waddle’s still got it, last season among 109 qualified wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data) he ranked:
He is a smash pick right now currently priced as the WR24 in Redraft and WR27 in Dynasty.
Mike Evans
Let’s talk about Fantasy Football’s favorite Unc! The argument here is pretty simple, and it comes with a big if. If Mike Evans stays healthy, he is absolutely obliterating this ADP. Evans is 32 years old, lost much of last year to injury, but as most people know he put together 11 straight 1000 yard seasons prior to that. He has the opportunity to be the number one receiving option in San Francisco with Kittle slowly returning from his injury in the playoffs and Jauan Jennings, last year’s leading WR, now in Minnesota vacating 90 targets and 19 red zone targets. In his career, Evans has 5 WR1 finishes and ALL Top-24 finishes outside of last season’s injury riddled year. There is a real path for a 2025 Davante Adams-esque season for the newest 49er being priced as the WR27 in Redraft and WR52 in Dynasty.
Malik Willis
I get it, the Dolphins offense feels gross to buy into. But sometimes you gotta plug your nose and recognize when there’s value staring you right in the face. If you miss out on the elite QBs, we love to punt QB until the end of the draft unless someone unexpectedly drops well below ADP, and when we do that we target mobile QBs aggressively late. History has proven that mobility is the easiest path to fantasy success as just last season 8 of the top 12 QBs in PPG averaged at least 20 rushing yards per game. In a small sample size last season, Malik Willis boasted the highest scramble rate in the NFL. In his one, Willis had 90 rushing yards and two rushing TDs. If you look at the prior week when Jordan Love exited the game early, Willis came in and ran for 44 yards. Obviously there’s better options than going after the Miami Dolphins starting QB, but there certainly aren’t 20 QBs with better upside than Malik Willis being valued as the QB21 in Redraft and QB26 in Dynasty.

We’re breaking down 5 players with potential to be league winning breakouts in 2026
Breakdown of three of the Players Discussed:
KC Concepcion (21 Y/O, Dynasty: WR30, Redraft: WR52)
Being drafted by the Browns is never an ideal situation, but Concepcion may be in line to get a lot of opportunities regardless of who’s playing quarterback in Cleveland. Concepcion has round draft capital, went 61 REC for 919 Yards and 9 TDs in his Junior Year at Texas A&M, and despite playing a lot of his snaps from the slot he’s proven his ability to be versatile and move around in the offense. Matt Harmon had a phenomenal statistic about KC Concepcion among WRs in this draft class, in which Concepcion ranked…
- No. 1 in success rate vs. man coverage
- No. 3 in success rate vs. zone coverage
- No. 1 in success rate vs. press coverage
- No. 4 in contested catch rate (feels notable)
- No. 9 in rate of plays in space with a broken tackle
I understand the hesitancy with the Cleveland Browns, but I think back to Garrett Wilson in 2022 as a rookie with the Jets and he broke out for 1100 yards and put his name on the map. There is a lot of potential here for a breakout with a young receiver who won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
Isaiah Likely (26 Y/O, Dynasty: TE12, Redraft: TE13)
We already saw the flashes of talent from Isaiah Likely, and now we pair him with Jaxson Dart in the New York Giants offense and the sky is the limit. Dan Duggin of the athletic has already reported that Likely’s been Dart’s favorite target at OTAs, and the 3-years $40M with incentives up to $47.5M tells us that the giants have a plan for Isaiah Likely to be a key part of this offense. When we think of the 140 vacated targets from Wan’Dale Robinson, Likely is going to be a huge beneficiary of that alongside Malik Nabers (as long as he’s healthy). If you’re wondering what kind of numbers Isaiah Likely can put up as the TE1 in his offense, he’s already proven he can dominate. In 9 games in his career as the starting tight end without Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely averaged 3.4 rec for 50.4 yards and .7 TDs a game. It may not sound like a lot, but extrapolated over a 16 game stretch that would’ve made Likely the TE3 last season. Buy in on Isaiah likely as a post-hype sleeper with incredible breakout potential.
Devonta Smith (27 Y/O, Dynasty: WR16, Redraft: WR13)
We finally get to see the former Heisman Trophy and Biletnikoff Award winning receiver get WR1 volume in this Philadelphia Eagles offense. In games without AJB in the past 2 seasons, Devonta’s averaging 7 receptions for 80 yards with a 35.1% target share. We expect this offense to take a big step back in the right direction with Kevin Patullo out of the building and Sean Mannion taking over the play calling duties. Nathan Jahnke from PFF had a great write up on the change in Devonta’s role over the past 2 years. He played more in the slot over the last two seasons than in his first three, but actually showed the most improvement lined up out wide. He posted an 89.9 PFF receiving grade on the perimeter in 2025 with a 25.3% target rate. In fact, Smith achieved 2.95 yards per route run when lined up out wide last season, tied for third-best behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Puka Nacua. We could see a JSN-esque breakout here from an ascending Devonta Smith who could command at a 35% target share and dominate volume here in Philly.
Feel free to check out the video for a deeper dive on these three guys, plus two others we’re actively buying right now!
