Undervalued Names
Everyone seems to be sleeping on these guys, making them excellent draft values this summer.
RB: D’Andre Swift (CHI), ADP 50
Swift just posted the best season of his career, and he's somehow still available well into the 4th round of most drafts.
He finished as the overall RB15 in 2025 with a career-high 1,087 rushing yards and 1,386 total scrimmage yards, ranking 8th in the NFL in yards per touch (5.4) and 9th in True Yards Per Carry (4.8).
Swift is a legitimate three-down back: he ranked 6th among RBs in yards per catch (8.8), logged 10 total touchdowns, and racked up 41 red zone touches, ranking 16th in the NFL in that department.
Coaching continuity is a real edge here. With HC Ben Johnson back for Year 2, Swift remains in a system he knows inside and out, with OC Press Taylor promoted to call plays in the same offense.
The o-line concerns are real, but a running back who finished 8th in yards per touch doesn't need perfect blocking… and he's going a full round later than his production demands.
QB: Trevor Lawrence (JAX), ADP 80
Trevor Lawrence finished 2025 as the QB4 overall and an MVP finalist… and he's still being drafted like a dart-throw option at QB in the 5th round.
His rushing floor alone makes him a league winner: Lawrence ranked 2nd among all QBs in rushing touchdowns (9) last season, providing the kind of weekly fantasy cushion most quarterbacks simply can't offer.
2026 marks the first season Lawrence has ever had the same coaching staff for back-to-back years, and Jacksonville projects with the 4th-easiest schedule for QBs after finishing 30th-easiest in 2025. That's a massive swing.
The passing volume is elite: Lawrence ranked 4th in red zone pass attempts (88), 4th in total air yards (4,565), and finished with 4,007 passing yards and 29 touchdowns… 6th and 5th in the NFL, respectively.
With the system mastered, the schedule flipping to favorable, and a rushing floor that 90% of QBs can't match, Lawrence at his current price is one of the better values at the position.
WR: Christian Watson (GB), ADP 56
Christian Watson just signed a 4-year, $110.5 million extension. That contract that says everything about how Green Bay views his role going forward.
In just 10 games last season, Watson ranked 15th in fantasy points per game (13.2), 4th in Yards Per Route Run (2.65), and 3rd in Average Depth of Target (17.8 ADOT)… one of the most efficient receiver profiles in football when healthy.
His target opportunity expands significantly in 2026 following the departures of Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks, leaving Watson as the unquestioned lead receiver in the Packers' offense.
The late-season ceiling flashes were real: a 113-yard, 1-TD game in Week 17 and an 89-yard, 2-TD explosion in Week 14 are the kind of performances that remind you how dangerous this receiver is at full health.
The injury history is the only thing keeping Watson at this price, but a healthy season as Green Bay's clear WR1 with elite efficiency metrics puts top-10 upside firmly in play.
TE: Kyle Pitts (ATL), ADP 93
Kyle Pitts just finished as the overall TE2 (4th in PPG)… and the market is somehow handing him out in the 8th round.
The volume is undeniable: Pitts ranked 2nd among all TEs in targets (118) and catches (88), maintaining a 22.7% target share while finishing 4th in fantasy points per game (12.4) and 2nd in receiving yards (928).
His new situation is a genuine upgrade: HC Kevin Stefanski arrives with a historically TE-friendly system, and Pitts projects with the 5th-easiest schedule for tight ends in 2026.
The ceiling moments are staggering. In games without Drake London last season, Pitts posted a 33% target share (including an 11-catch, 166-yard, 3-TD monster performance for a 45.6-point ceiling game).
Pitts locked in a 3-year, $54 million extension and isn't going anywhere, and at his current draft price, you're getting a proven TE1 with top-3 upside at a fraction of the cost.
RB: Bucky Irving (TB), ADP 56
Bucky Irving played just 10 games last season due to injury, but the efficiency he showed in that limited window is the reason he belongs on this list.
His contact-breaking ability is elite: Irving ranked 12th in Juke Rate (25.6%) and recorded 52 evaded tackles in limited action. In full games late in the season, he averaged 21.7 touches for 135.8 yards, including a 26-carry, 85-yard performance in Week 18.
With Rachaad White gone to Washington, Irving remains the projected lead back in Tampa, and his dual-threat floor is real. He had a 102-receiving-yard, 1-TD game in Week 4 on a 34% target-per-route rate before injury derailed his season.
New OC Zac Robinson is expected to increase Irving's receiving usage in his revamped scheme… and Irving is heading into 2026 healthy with the "fresh legs" advantage after a shortened year.
The committee concerns are real (Kenneth Gainwell's contract and Sean Tucker's goal-line role are genuine concerns), but an elite pass-catcher with workhorse volume in full games going in the 4th round is a risk worth taking.
That’s the list…guys who can be terrific values as the rest of the community sleeps on them.
