    Patrick Mahomes to outplay his draft cost (QB14)

    Right now, Mahomes is being drafted as the QB14, even though he was the overall fantasy QB2 before his injury last season. There's way too much value here to pass up.

    Xavier Worthy to outplay his draft cost (the end of your drafts)

    You're probably better off drafting Xavier Worthy at the end of your drafts, and leaving someone else choose to grab Rashee Rice inside the top 20 receivers.

    Ashton Jeanty to outplay his draft cost (outside of the first round)

    Personally, I'm still rolling the dice on Jeanty, who has overall RB1 upside as the bell-cow back behind an improved Raiders offensive line.

    TreVeyon Henderson to outplay his draft cost

    I'm buying the dip. Henderson is a talented player who put up some impressive spike weeks last season... Fade the consensus and grab this falling stud.

    Rashid Shaheed to outplay his draft cost

    Potentially the biggest breakout player for the Seahawks’ offense will be wide receiver Rashid Shaheed.

    K.C. Concepcion to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver 46 in real-time ADP)

    I'm able to get him at wide receiver 46 in real-time ADP right now as the clear wide receiver one for the Cleveland Browns... So I love Casey Concepcion at cost.

    Brock Bowers to outplay his draft cost

    I feel like he's capable of putting up high-end wide receiver one numbers, and that a year from now we might be looking back on him and saying, why wasn't he a top 10 pick in fantasy?

    Jordan Mason to outplay his draft cost (he's being ranked as an RB4)

    he's been a draft steal because like, I know even in the week one rankings, like people have him in like RB4 range... And he's being ranked as an RB4.

    Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver 29 in real-time ADP)

    The upside swing to take in every single one is Parker Washington... So Parker Washington, like as a wide receiver three that I can draft... Yeah, I think he's the best value.

    Jonah Coleman to outplay his draft cost

    Jonah Coleman just seems like the perfect Sean Payton back... It's just kind of possible that Coleman is just better than Dobbins and Harvey at everything and winds up as sort of the lead guy.

    Jared Goff to outplay his draft cost (An 11th round pick in real time ADP)

    It's Jared Goff... So I love Goff. And, you know, you bypass a quarterback... to load up on other positions in the early rounds and then just take a steady quarterback.

    Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost (QB 21)

    Malik Willis at QB 21 is absolute insanity to me... Malik Willis is going to be a wonderful pick in fantasy this year.

    Jordan Mason to outplay his draft cost (94th overall)

    in real-time ADP, Jordan Mason is 94th overall. I've bumped Jordan Mason up to 87th in my rankings... I would be absolutely circling Jordan Mason and drafting him like about a round or at least a half round ahead of where he's at on every site.

    Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost

    I'm going to go up one spot in the wide receiver rankings to the guy who's been consistently a value all draft season, Christian Wilson... I think he could be a star.

    Jordan Love to outplay his draft cost (QB 18, real-time ADP)

    we've talked about Jordan Love, a crap ton. He's QB 18, real-time ADP. Again, hearkening back to yesteryear, QB 5, the last time we didn't see Josh Jacobs pulling down this entire all-passing attack.

    Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost

    Bro, I've had him as a top 20 wide receiver the entire draft season. He's wide receiver 19... just draft the Green Bay wide receiver one, clear wide receiver one as a wide receiver three.

    Dontayvion Wicks to outplay his draft cost (a great late round flyer)

    So he could be a guy that really pops this year... Yeah, so just keep drafting Dontavion Wicks instead of taking a kicker or defense in your final round.

    Makai Lemon to outplay his draft cost

    I just think there's a pretty decent chance we look back on this rookie class and say that Makai Lemon and not Carnell Tate or Jordan Tyson or Casey Concepcion was the best rookie in the class.
