Malik Nabers to outplay his draft cost (the fourth round)
If he is available in the fourth round of drafts, I’m jumping on him at that cost.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 29, 2026 Brock Bowers to outplay his draft cost (anywhere in the back half of the second round in 12-team drafts)
I think it’s worth paying up at tight end this year, and I’m willing to take Brock Bowers anywhere in the back half of the second round in 12-team drafts.
Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost (RB34 (96th overall))
You’d have hit big on a mid-round pick. This is a bet worth making.
Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost
If he and this offense surpass lowly expectations through the air, Willis would be a strong QB1 with upside in 2026.
Jaylen Waddle to outplay his draft cost
Waddle is a flag plant player for me this year. You can easily draft him as a WR2 for your teams this season, who has WR1 upside.
Chase Brown to outplay his draft cost
Even with a projected snap split with Perine (70-30%) based on preseason Week 1 usage…Brown should still smash versus the Bengals’ third-easiest league schedule.

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

Brock Purdy to outplay his draft cost (the later rounds)
This alone gives Brock Purdy a safe floor as a top-10 signal-caller in the later rounds.

Trevor Lawrence to outplay his draft cost (late-round)
Lawrence has an elite offensive head coach, a solid offensive line, a high-quality pass-catching room and one of the easier schedules for quarterbacks. He is one of the safer late-round quarterbacks and carries plenty of upside.

Jaxson Dart to outplay his draft cost
As long as Nagy doesn't completely kill this offense, Dart's talent and rushing ability are worth betting on.
