    Tyler Warren to outplay his draft cost

    Tyler Warren had a fantastic rookie season as the TE10 in fantasy points per game, but there was plenty of meat left on the bone

    Tank Bigsby to outplay his draft cost

    The most talented handcuff nobody talks about. Behind Saquon Barkley in Philadelphia, Bigsby is buried, but his 2025 efficiency was genuinely elite

    MarShawn Lloyd to outplay his draft cost (late-RB2 or top-of-RB3 range)

    His stock has risen sharply, and he now belongs in the late-RB2 or top-of-RB3 range rather than as a dart throw.

    Mike Washington to outplay his draft cost

    Washington should be considered one of the top backup running backs in fantasy football... Washington could provide some stand-alone fantasy value

    MarShawn Lloyd to outplay his draft cost (RB36 (93rd overall))

    If you have a fantasy draft this week, Lloyd should be a top-100 pick.

    You can target Schultz in the final few rounds of drafts, giving you plenty of upside without having to spend premium draft capital.

    Cyrus Allen to outplay his draft cost

    If both falter, Cyrus Allen could emerge as a fantasy football asset during the season... Allen is a fun bench stash to see how the wideouts ahead of him perform.

    Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost (the last round of your draft)

    This is the easiest click in almost every single draft. At his current average draft position (ADP), Malik Willis is practically free. Of all the quarterbacks I have mentioned, he carries the most upside at cost.

    CeeDee Lamb to outplay his draft cost

    it becomes easier to see Lamb as a value pick in this range. Betting on Lamb's well-established connection with Dak Prescott and this team as a whole to bounce back isn't the worst bet in the world.

    Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost

    Christian Watson's injury history will present you with a discount during drafts... But Watson is poised to smash in 2026 if he can stay healthy.

    Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost

    This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who, on a per-touch basis, flashed the immense talent that I really liked when he was in college.

    Rachaad White to outplay his draft cost (dirt-cheap ADP)

    Obviously, the risk with White is that he has not been able to completely separate himself from Day 3 RBs in the past (Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker), but that concern is more than accounted for in his dirt-cheap ADP.

    Jadarian Price to outplay his draft cost (ADP 59.8 | RB 26)

    Price has a chance to be a massive steal at his current ADP, especially given how he stood out during training camp.

    George Kittle to outplay his draft cost

    George Kittle will be back on the field well before anticipated, after somehow rehabbing to be available for Week 1... Still, I’ll gobble up the discount for as long as it lasts.

    Jared Goff to outplay his draft cost

    Despite finishing as a top-10 quarterback in each of the last four seasons, Goff was continually ranked between QB16 and QB22, which blew my mind... Keep buying the dip.
