2026 Fantasy Football Top Values

David Montgomery played second fiddle to Jahmyr Gibbs in his past couple of years in Detroit, but now he has the job all to himself in Houston. The Texans' running game was dead last year, but thrived with Joe Mixon the prior season. Montgomery can perform like Mixon, especially with an improved offensive line.

This is not a reaction to D.J. Moore's great performance in the preseaon opener, though it was certainly impressive. We've had Moore ranked relatively higher compared to other publications. Many panned the Bills for trading for Moore, which never made any sense to me. Moore told everyone his production would be down last year, and now he's playing with the best quarterback he's ever been paired with in his career.

Ben Johnson told the media that he would be buying stock in Luther Burden. Perhaps this is just coachspeak, but slot receivers have always done well in Johnson's offense. We all know about Amon-Ra St. Brown, but Jarvis Landry led the league in receptions. Rome Odunze may be more talented, but he's dealing with a foot injury that he said will never be 100 percent. Burden's ADP was 4.11, but because of a minor injury, he has slipped to 5.07.

Jameson Williams had an explosive second half of the year in 2025. He began the year slowly, but once Dan Campbell took over the play-calling duties, Williams' production skyrocketed. I believe this will carry over in 2026, making Williams a great value at the end of the fifth round.

There's a long history of running backs thriving under Liam Coen. There's a good chance Bhayshul Tuten will be next on that list. Chris Rodriguez will serve as competition, but Tuten is the incumbent and has more upside. I bet Tuten to be the rushing champion at 85/1 odds.

Christian Watson was paid a huge contract this offseason, so it's clear that he's Green Bay's No. 1 receiver, especially with Romeo Doubs gone. There's an injury element to Watson that can't be ignored, but he at least had his hamstring problem corrected. When healthy, he's a big-time play-maker, so I like the value with him toward the end of Round 6.

Parker Washington's production was off the charts late last year. He slid into the Cooper Kupp/Chris Godwin role in Liam Coen's offense and was perfect in that role. Washington is a great bargain in the middle of the sixth round, let alone at his current ADP of 7.01!

Everyone is expecting Rhamondre Stevenson to just move aside and make way for Trey'Veon Henderson. We're seeing Henderson being chosen two rounds earlier, and yet Stevenson is the favorite to lead the New England backfield in touches because the Patriots don't trust Henderson in pass protection. Keep in mind, however, that if Henderson improves in that area, he'll be able to take over for Stevenson. However, it doesn't seem as though that has happened.

Wan'Dale Robinson is not the most exciting player, but he caught so many passes at the end of 2025. He's now in Tennessee, where he'll be a big target for Cam Ward. The Titans signed Carnell Tate, but he projects as a No. 2 possession receiver. We saw Robinson get five targets from Ward in the preseason opener. None of Tennessee's other receivers had more than two!

Why is Blake Corum being drafted six rounds later than Kyren Williams? That makes no sense. Corum and Williams basically split the workload 50-50. If Williams were to suffer an injury, Corum would be producing on a third-round level at the very least.

Jonathon Brooks has two ACL tears in his career, so there's definitely a low floor. However, he's more explosive than Chuba Hubbard, and he can also serve as a receiver out of the backfield. Hubbard suffered a hamstring injury, so Brooks has a clearer path to be the RB1 in Carolina.
