Josh Jacobs (GB) — RB16, Overall RK36 | ECR vs. ADP: -9 ... fantasy managers should be wary of the production tapering off.
Trey McBride (ARI) — TE2, Overall RK24 | ECR vs. ADP: -6 ... It will be hard for Trey McBride to top the year he had in 2025.
De’Von Achane (MIA) — RB10, Overall RK19 | ECR vs. ADP: -6 (Early-Round ECR Fade)
Jeremiyah Love (ARI) — RB14, Overall RK33 | ECR vs. ADP: -8 (Early-Round ECR Fade)
That makes it tougher to bet on landing a big hit from team RB1 picks (per ADP) going later in Tony Pollard, Jaylen Warren, Chuba Hubbard, Rachaad White, and Aaron Jones

Gamers will be pushing up players such as Isiah Pacheco, Brian Robinson , and Tank Bigsby as bench targets attached to early-pick running backs, but exploiting the dead zone and ambiguous backfields (with discounted RB1 picks) are your best bets.

Okonkwo is an intriguing sleeper at tight end, but it would be reckless to count on him as a fantasy starter.
if he plays limited snaps again this season and his efficiency numbers regress to career norms, Kincaid could disappoint. It’s best to regard him as a high-end TE2 for fantasy drafts.
I’ll be avoiding Oronde Gadsden in drafts this season. ... Gadsden looks like he’s locked in a tight end committee for 2026
With sensational rushing yards no longer bankable, Hurts is a fade.
It's possible Achane's talent overcomes the adverse conditions he faces in 2026, but that's not a bet I'm eager to make in the second round of fantasy football drafts.
This just doesn't seem like an ecosystem that sets up well for a Brian Thomas Jr. bounce-back.
the veteran finished as the TE29, averaging 6.4 PPR fantasy points per game. Fantasy players should anticipate similar results in 2026
Unfortunately, that’s bad news for anyone betting on a second-year breakout for Helm.
