Which players are worth taking a chance on in your 2026 fantasy football drafts? Which ones are too risky at their current ADP? And which potential late-round sleepers could turn into league winners?

Alfredo Brown, Tom Strachan and Derek Brown break down six players they keep drafting in 2026 fantasy football leagues because their current draft prices simply don't match their upside.
From Colston Loveland and Zay Flowers to Parker Washington, Tucker Kraft, Quentin Johnston and Tyler Allgeier, the guys break down why each player could outperform his current draft position and help you build a stronger fantasy roster.
They also discuss the roster construction that works best when you're targeting these players, which late-round values could turn into weekly starters, and why some of these ADPs may look very different once the 2026 season gets underway.
If you're getting ready for your fantasy football drafts, these are six names you'll want on your cheat sheet.

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.
