    here is my favorite signal-caller, who is ranked outside the top 18 in the expert consensus rankings (ECR). Jordan Love (QB – GB) ... Love is being drafted as a mid-QB2, but has QB1 upside.

    Davante Adams to outplay his draft cost

    Fading Adams due to age is a major mistake. His route running and hands remain elite, and he still delivers high‑end production.

    Jacory Croskey-Merritt to outplay his draft cost (RB36)

    Croskey-Merritt has been trending up lately, climbing 10 spots in ADP over the past week, but he’s still reasonably priced at RB36. If he adds some receiving to his game, there’s some major fantasy potential here.

    Dylan Sampson to outplay his draft cost (at the end of every draft)

    Sampson is a player I’m targeting at the end of every draft. He’s a cheap bet to make, and one who could pay off if the Browns decide to get their second-year back the ball more involved through the air.

    Justin Herbert to outplay his draft cost (9.01, QB14 ESPN ADP)

    Herbert’s Yahoo! ADP is reasonable. His ESPN ADP makes for an exceptionally low buying opportunity.
