Chris Godwin Jr. to outplay his draft cost (round eight)
That's exactly the type of player I want to take shots on in round eight, especially if I'm playing catch-up at the position.

Josh Downs to outplay his draft cost (WR46 in Real-Time ADP)
right now he sits at WR46 in Real-Time ADP. You can get him in round nine, but you'll likely need to grab him a round early if you really want him.

Michael Pittman to outplay his draft cost (the WR42, typically in the eighth round)
Pittman is currently coming off the board as the WR42, typically in the eighth round... he seems to be the better pick at cost between the two Pittsburgh wideouts.

Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (Washington's current fantasy football ADP is 83)
Washington's current fantasy football ADP is 83, meaning he's going around the round seven/round eight turn. That's far too low if he comes out guns blazing and picks up where he left off at the end of 2025.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 3, 2026 Ashton Jeanty to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 2.01)
Ashton Jeanty could explode with improved support: ... making him a prime breakout candidate in an improved Raiders offense. Ashton Jeanty , Las Vegas Raiders (ADP: 2.01)
Omarion Hampton to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 2.04)
Omarion Hampton , Los Angeles Chargers (ADP: 2.04) ... If McDaniel elevates the Chargers' offense into one of the league's best and Hampton handles the clear majority of backfield touches, he could be in for a special season.
Kenneth Walker III to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 2.06)
Kenneth Walker III captures an elite volume ceiling in Kansas City ... Walker has the upside to finish as a top-five fantasy running back. Kenneth Walker , Kansas City Chiefs (ADP: 2.06)

Luther Burden III to outplay his draft cost (third round, fourth round)
the Luther Burden, yeah, I'm a big fan. I think a monster year is coming for him. Where is he? Is he third round, fourth round?... I think that's about the right range.
Luther Burden IIIChicago Bears
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Jul 22, 2026 Josh Downs to outplay his draft cost (tenth round)
If you can tell me I can get a double digit round wide receiver with the potential for one hundred targets... And it's Josh Downs
Jaylen Waddle to outplay his draft cost (fourth round)
I'm just not going to shut up talking about Jayleen Wattle... He's going from a run heavy offense to a pass heavy offense
Kyren Williams to outplay his draft cost (third round)
It's the value here running back, and it's Kyraen Williams if I can get him in the third round
Stefon Diggs to outplay his draft cost (Round fourteen)
the last guy that I'm bringing up Stefan Diggs in Round fourteen... a player that's going to be a wide receiver three in ranks that has wide receiver two upside
Alvin Kamara to outplay his draft cost (round thirteen)
why is Alvin Kamara in round thirteen... K Kamara is going to move up now to the contract and he's officially here
Jalen Coker to outplay his draft cost (twelfth round)
Is Jalen Coker just in this range... those are my two favorite wide receivers to be drafting in this round
Sam LaPorta to outplay his draft cost (round seven)
top three tight end potential, but guess where he's going round seven
Jayden Higgins to outplay his draft cost (twelfth round)
also saying Jadan Higgins, those are my two favorite wide receivers to be drafting in this round
David Montgomery to outplay his draft cost (fifth round)
fifth round... David Montgomery... he's gonna be the engine of that offense
A.J. Brown to outplay his draft cost (second round)
AJ Brown, He's my guy... I think we get a career season from AJ Brown in a limited volume passing offense.
Isaiah Likely to outplay his draft cost (tenth round)
tenth round... you need to be draft in. Isaiah Likely... you get free access to a tight end one in the later rounds
Chase Brown to outplay his draft cost (second round)
I do love this one mostly because I have Chase Brown as a first round pick... I have him at eleven overall... all of a sudden, we're talking about Chase Brown is a top six running back
James Cook to outplay his draft cost (eleventh overall)
I think James Cook is the best value on the board. Looking at eleventh overall, he's being valued basically based off of what he did last year.
Jonathon Brooks to outplay his draft cost (eleventh round)
Yeah, Jonathan Brooks... So it's just free access, free upside.
Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (eighth round)
It's Parker Washington. If he could replicate what he did on the back half of last year, he could be one of those league winning type of players... you're paying for it in the eighth round
Quentin Johnston to outplay his draft cost (ninth round)
I'm all in on Quentin Johnston this year... If you want Lad McConkie production, but you don't want to pay the Ladd mconkee price tag, this year, draft Quentin Johnston
Marvin Harrison Jr. to outplay his draft cost (sixth round)
I think the here is so low that Marvin Harrison is now worth taking that gamble on us a sixth rounder
