Jalon Kilgore to outplay his draft cost

Bills with Jalon Kilgore: Consider Kilgore a sleeper. The 2026 fifth-round pick faces a tall task in getting play time behind C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Geno Stone but he was a former Emmanwori teammate at South Carolina.

Jadarian Price to outplay his draft cost (RB26)

in a one-year scenario where I get the starting running back of the defending Super Bowl champs with little backfield competition as RB26, it's simply a bet that cannot fail

Jordan Mason to outplay his draft cost (RB3-level ADP)

leave plenty of room for Mason to return value at an RB3-level ADP

Jameson Williams to outplay his draft cost

Williams is a terrific player who falls too far in almost every fantasy draft.

Ladd McConkey to outplay his draft cost

At this price, securing a player with this kind of target ceiling is exactly how you build a championship roster.

Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost

his combination of efficiency, explosiveness, and a favorable schedule gives him legitimate breakout potential at his current price

Jaylen Waddle to outplay his draft cost (around WR21 / fourth-round price)

With Waddle being drafted around WR21, I am getting a player with legitimate top-12 upside at a fourth-round price.

Jaylen WaddleDenver Broncos

Zay Flowers to outplay his draft cost (Round 2-3 turn)

Flowers could set new personal bests across the board in 2026. In full-PPR, I'm considering him at the Round 2-3 turn all day long.

Zay FlowersBaltimore Ravens

Tetairoa McMillan to outplay his draft cost (WR17 / 3rd round)

Personally, I'm taking WR17 Tet McMillan over WR15 Zay Flowers in drafts anyway... I'll take those numbers all day in the 3rd round, well ahead of a guy in Flowers

TreVeyon Henderson to outplay his draft cost (RB26 ranking)

I didn't think I would be taking much TreVeyon Henderson , but at an RB26 ranking, it's hard to find more talented players or those with more upside.

Zay Flowers to outplay his draft cost (consensus ADP closer to WR15 and No. 42 overall)

If that touchdown number comes up at all, which I think it will, Flowers can beat this price pretty comfortably.

Luther Burden III to outplay his draft cost

if Luther Burden is healthy, he's a potential top-15 WR in any scoring format, imo

Stefon Diggs to outplay his draft cost (later rounds of your draft)

Diggs has a great chance to deliver another WR2 season, yet you can still find him sitting there in the later rounds of your draft.

Ladd McConkey to outplay his draft cost (outside of the top-12)

There are not many receivers outside of the top-12 that have top-5 upside, besides Ladd McConkey . He was the WR12 overall and WR19 in PPG his rookie year, and that should be his floor entering this year.

Ladd McConkeyLos Angeles Chargers

D'Andre Swift to outplay his draft cost (ADP of RB23)

at an ADP of RB23, you get an RB who has played at least 13 games in every season of his career... Swift is a rock-solid RB2 being treated like a flex play at best.

D'Andre SwiftChicago Bears

Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost

In a vacuum, it's Bhayshul Tuten . I think he's an electric RB who will burst on the fantasy scene with some long TD runs.

Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (WR30)

Jacksonville's Parker Washington is currently going for WR30, and at that price, I will have as many shares of him as I possibly can.

Parker Washington

MarShawn Lloyd to outplay his draft cost (RB ADP of 55)

With an RB ECR around 56 and an RB ADP of 55, Lloyd is more than a handcuff. He is a free late-round swing with standalone value and legitimate league-winning upside.

MarShawn LloydGreen Bay Packers

Travis Etienne to outplay his draft cost (around RB18 in Half-PPR ECR)

I already have him at RB15, and at this price he is one of the backs I want on as many teams as possible.

De'Zhaun Stribling to outplay his draft cost

De'Zhaun Stribling has quickly become one of my favorite late-round wide receiver targets.

Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost (low-end RB3 ADP)

I've been aggressively targeting Blake Corum... A down season for Corum in 2026 would be a small miss, given his low-end RB3 ADP.

Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost

Christian Watson managed a WR19 finish in PPR points per game last year while returning from a 2024 ACL tear.
