Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (ADP of WR30)
Personally, that is my fear with Washington's ADP of WR30. ... He is an excellent shot if you have waited to fill your WR3.

Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost (going as the RB25)
Even with all of this, he is going as the RB25. ... Considering he is still going outside RB2 territory, I don't want to leave a draft without him this season.

Colston Loveland to outplay his draft cost
Colston Loveland is the recipient of the offseason hype award. ... we could be witnessing the creation of the next elite fantasy tight end.

Jaylin Noel to outplay his draft cost
Every season a player comes out of nowhere to absolutely annihilate their average draft position (ADP). Could that be Noel?
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 3, 2026 Jalen Coker to outplay his draft cost
Coker is a late-round priority for me this season. The massive divide between McMillan and Coker in ADP should not exist. Enjoy the value.

Evan McPherson to outplay his draft cost (currently going as the K11)
McPherson is currently going as the K11, but with the upside of the Bengals' schedule and how good of a position they're in, he might be too good of a value pick to pass up.

Brandon Aubrey to outplay his draft cost
Brandon Aubrey has arguably the strongest leg in the NFL, and he's on one of the most high-powered offenses. ... Below are three kickers to target this season.

Ka'imi Fairbairn to outplay his draft cost
Fairbairn will have another great season for the Texans thanks to their defense and a middling offense that struggles to complete drives.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 3, 2026 Deone Walker to outplay his draft cost
I've always said that I'm rooting for Dion Walker to be awesome, and it looks like he's on his way to being awesome. So my pick for breakout guy is Dion Walker.

Dee Alford to outplay his draft cost
I picked a player. I went with Dee Alford... I think he's an under the radar guy because I think he's gonna end up mattering more to this defense

But I'm gonna go with Michael Hoyt... he was a strong one b to the one up to the Ed Oliver here in the one a for me.

I think Ed Oliver is gonna eat in this defense and, stay healthy... So my comeback hit at Oliver.

Quentin Johnston to outplay his draft cost
“they will be let down as Justin Herbert will spread the ball and Quentin Johnstone has a breakout year.”

I had the opportunity to draft both Roma Dunze or Luther Burden... I think people are sleeping on Roma Dunze.
Jaylen Waddle to outplay his draft cost
followed by Jalen Waddell, who I think could greatly outperform. Once upon a time, a 100-catch guy
- PendingJoshua PoniatowskiSleeper Calls
Jonathon Brooks to outplay his draft cost (eighth-to-ninth-round)
First, he is an eighth-to-ninth-round running back, so you can get him cheap... Jonathon Brooks legitimately has the potential to be a three-down back in a run-focused offense come Week 1.

Christian McCaffrey to outplay his draft cost (1.03)
I'm not passing on a player with this much league-winning upside because I am scared of what might happen. McCaffrey should be the 1.03, only behind Gibbs and Bijan.

Malik Nabers to outplay his draft cost (the third and sometimes fourth round; outside the top-10 wide receivers)
Not only does he bring league-winning potential, but you can get him at a discount with a very favorable playoff schedule.
