FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast

Chris Welsh, Derek Brown, Tera Roberts and the Fantasy Dude jump into the Fantasy Pros Draft Wizard for a full standard-league mock draft, looking for the biggest differences from PPR formats. The key theme throughout the draft is simple: touchdown equity matters.
The crew debates whether Derrick Henry belongs in the first round, why Saquon Barkley gets a boost, how to value running backs in a format where receptions don't count, and why players such as Kyren Williams, Javonte Williams and Mike Evans become especially intriguing.
They also dig into quarterback strategy, late-round RB values, Stefon Diggs as a potential steal, tight end targets, handcuffs, kicker and defense timing, and the best late-round sleepers.
If you're playing in a 2026 standard or non-PPR fantasy football league, this is a mock draft you don't want to miss.

Alfredo Brown, Derek Brown and Andrew Erickson break down their six favorite must-draft targets — players they’re willing to take ahead of ADP because they simply don’t want to miss out on them.
The guys start with Chase Brown, who could have legitimate top-three RB upside in Cincinnati, before diving into Jalen Waddle and why his move to Denver could unlock a much bigger fantasy season.
Then it’s time for Kenneth Walker, a player the guys believe could be one of the biggest league-winning picks of the 2026 fantasy football draft. They also identify three players outside the top 75 who could provide enormous value: Jonathan Brooks, Carnell Tate and Malik Willis.
If you're preparing for your 2026 fantasy football draft, these are the players to know, especially if you're looking for targets who can outperform their ADP.
