<\/a><\/p>\nThe Most Polarizing Fantasy Football Players (2026)<\/p>\n
Who is one QB with a high standard deviation<\/a> you are higher or lower on and why?<\/p>\n Dak Prescott (QB \u2013 DAL)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cDak Prescott\u2019s ECR is currently 3 spots lower than his ADP as the QB11 off the board. But I\u2019m still viewing him as a value in drafts early this offseason. In 4-point-per-passing-TD leagues, Dak was QB6 last season while continuing to offer very little in the rushing department. Now we know that QBs like this hold more volatility year-to-year because they lack a rushing floor, but Prescott has proven in 6 of 10 seasons that he is a fantasy QB1, and he\u2019s only ever finished outside of that range once in a healthy season. Right now, we\u2019re ranking Dak at his floor in a still-great offense with a defense that still has a lot to prove. I\u2019ll take the bet on Dak if I\u2019m waiting at QB. And if I have a deeper bench, he\u2019s an excellent second QB option if I\u2019m relying on a guy like Jayden Daniels<\/a> or Jaxson Dart<\/a> as my QB1.\u201d \u201cI am higher than most on Dak Prescott. Although he offers little upside as a rusher and won\u2019t score many touchdowns in that department, he operates in a high-powered offense with two elite WRs, a solid RB2, and a borderline TE1. Although health has been an occasional concern with Dak, I can see him easily outperforming his QB11 ECR ranking, as shown by his QB8 ADP.\u201d \u201cDak Prescott, the current QB11 in the ECR, is being criminally undervalued once again. Prescott was superb in 2025, logging QB1 finishes 12 times a year ago. The Cowboys are bringing back, essentially, the same exact offensive personnel in 2025 and stand to be more competitive in 2026 with an improved defense that can do more by way of creating turnovers to put Dak in more positions to score. Dak Prescott has top-5 upside in 2026 and should be a favorite target of managers on draft day.\u201d Kyler Murray (QB \u2013 MIN)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cKyler Murray has one of the highest standard deviations in all of Fantasy Football this season. Kevin O\u2019Connell could reignite Murray\u2019s career if he stays healthy, and a Top-5 finish at the position might happen. J.J. McCarthy<\/a> could win the job out of camp, stay healthy himself, and Murray never starts a game. That level of uncertainty and horrendous floor has me fading the signal caller.\u201d \u201cThe old regime that drafted J.J. McCarthy<\/a> is gone. Kyler Murray was not just brought in to be a mentor but to compete for the starting job. I expect Murray to win the competition, and if he does, he\u2019ll have some impressive weapons at his disposal. WR Justin Jefferson<\/a> is one of the best in the business. Jordan Addison<\/a> is no slouch, and T.J. Hockenson<\/a> should be fully recovered from his knee surgery. They also brought in former 49er WR Jauan Jennings<\/a>. If Kyler can outperform J.J. McCarthy<\/a> in training camp and stay healthy, there\u2019s upside at his current ranking, QB 17.\u201d Joe Burrow (QB \u2013 CIN)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going to be lower than Joe Burrow than most in the industry. It\u2019s not that I think Joe Brr is bad \u2014 quite the contrary. But in order to pay off his QB4 ADP, he\u2019ll need to have an extreme outlier season through the air since he offers so little on the ground. Just look at Matthew Stafford<\/a> last year. He had one of the most prolific passing seasons in history with 4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns, and he still only finished as the QB4 in fantasy points per game (21.4) because of the lack of rushing. Burrow has a season similar to that in 2024 (4,918 yards and 43 touchdowns), but those numbers are tough to replicate. I\u2019d rather take guys like Justin Herbert<\/a>, Brock Purdy<\/a>, or Trevor Lawrence<\/a> later on and load up on receivers and running backs early.\u201d Trevor Lawrence (QB \u2013 JAC)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cTrevor Lawrence is my biggest swing-for-the-fences QB bet in 2026. He quietly finished with 40 rushing first downs last season, giving him a fantasy floor many managers overlook. Another year in Liam Coen\u2019s high-efficiency offense, paired with Brian Thomas Jr.<\/a>, Brenton Strange<\/a>, Parker Washington<\/a>, Jakobi Meyers<\/a>, Travis Hunter<\/a>, and rookie sleeper Tanner Koziol<\/a>, gives Lawrence one of the deepest supporting casts of his career. If everything clicks, don\u2019t be surprised when we\u2019re talking about Lawrence as a top-five fantasy quarterback. For dynasty managers, remember the name Tanner Koziol<\/a> now, because you won\u2019t be sleeping on him for long.\u201d Jaxson Dart (QB \u2013 NYG)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t get on board with Jaxson Dart as a top-10 quarterback. Dart averaged 189.3 passing yards and 1.3 TD passes over his 12 rookie starts. He was better as a runner than as a passer, rushing for 487 yards and nine touchdowns. But Dart often ran recklessly, taking some big hits, including one against the Bears that resulted in a concussion and cost him two starts. Dart was also sacked 35 times for a sack rate of 9.4%. I worry that Dart\u2019s aggressive running style will be tamped down by the Giants\u2019 new coaching staff, and I also worry that moments of recklessness could lead to injury. I worry that Malik Nabers<\/a> has reportedly been slow to recover from his knee injury, and that the NYG pass catchers behind Nabers are a mediocre bunch. And I worry that new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy isn\u2019t the right guy to bring the best out of Dart.\u201d Malik Willis (QB \u2013 MIA)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cMalik Willis is being drafted as the QB21, and that\u2019s simply too low for a quarterback with this kind of rushing profile. In the four games where he\u2019s seen legitimate playing time over the last two seasons, Willis averaged 54.5 rushing yards per game, which is the type of production that can swing fantasy matchups on its own. The passing concerns are real, and there\u2019s a reasonable chance the offense struggles, but that\u2019s exactly why he\u2019s available at a low-end QB2 price. Once you\u2019re drafting in that range, I\u2019m far more interested in betting on elite rushing upside than chasing a mediocre pocket passer, and Willis offers league-winning outcomes that very few quarterbacks going around him can match.\u201d \u201cMalik Willis has to be the answer for this one. With minimal weapons around him, a relatively unproven track record, and a locked-in starting QB contract, this could really go either way. His rushing ability and success in his limited starts with the Packers make him intriguing. However, his situation and talent around him make him a terrifying option. I am sure he will have some monster games, but he\u2019ll also have down weeks. As a result, he is more of a Bestball pick than a redraft QB in my opinion.\u201d Who is one RB with a high standard deviation<\/a> you are higher or lower on and why?<\/p>\n David Montgomery (RB \u2013 HOU)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI like the setup for David Montgomery this season. Houston traded some decent draft capital to get him, and it clearly wants him to be the bell cow in that backfield. Even though he\u2019s 29 years old, he should be fresh coming off a 37.2% snap share and career-low 182 touches in Detroit last season. There\u2019s a chance Houston\u2019s offensive line keeps Montgomery from flourishing in his new digs, but at RB24, he\u2019s one of the cheapest backs you can draft with close to 300-touch upside. With the volume that awaits him, I\u2019d happily take Montgomery a couple of spots higher than where he\u2019s currently being drafted.\u201d \u201cDavid Montgomery stands out as one of the easiest running backs to rank above consensus. He\u2019s currently being drafted as the RB24, but the path to volume is much clearer than the backs going around him. DeMeco Ryans\u2019 offenses have consistently leaned on a featured runner when one emerges, and Montgomery arrives in Houston with significantly less wear and tear than most backs approaching age 30 after sharing work with Jahmyr Gibbs<\/a> for the last few seasons. The ceiling may not be exciting, but a physical three-down back attached to projected volume is exactly the type of profile that routinely outperforms a mid-RB2 price tag.\u201d Bucky Irving (RB \u2013 TB)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cBucky Irving is a running back that I am erring on the high side of his wide range of outcomes. The entire Buccaneers offense took a huge step back without Liam Coen last season, but they now have what I consider a great offensive coordinator in Zac Robinson. If Robinson uses Irving like he did Bijan Robinson<\/a> and Irving picks up some goal line work with Mike Evans<\/a> gone (zero rush attempts inside the five yard line last season) he could finish as a Top-5 player at the position. I do recognize that it could be less about the coaching, and Kenneth Gainwell<\/a> could bite into Irving\u2019s workload, and he ends up not being starter-worthy. I will bet on the high side, though.\u201d \u201cI have a package deal for this one. I am substantially lower on Bucky Irving than his current ranking of RB19 and higher on Kenneth Gainwell<\/a>\u2018s RB38 ranking. Bucky Irving\u2019s offseason has had the same trajectory as the milk in my fridge. At first, it started to smell a little off. Then it started to look gnarly. Now I\u2019m holding onto it to see if it\u2019ll discover time travel and be a worthy investment at the end of the day. Not to be harsh to Bucky, I want him to be back to his rookie self, but his injury, paired with some off-field struggles, is worrisome. As a result, the team signed Gainwell to a fairly substantial deal, and he has been taking the Bucky reps in training camp. I don\u2019t mind their respective rankings, but they need to be flipped: Irving RB38 and Gainwell RB19.\u201d De\u2019Von Achane (RB \u2013 MIA)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m lower on De\u2019Von Achane than consensus despite his obvious explosiveness. While he should lead the backfield, Miami faces one of the toughest fantasy playoff schedules in the league, and I\u2019m not convinced the offense will consistently provide enough scoring opportunities to justify his price. The addition of Ollie Gordon<\/a> creates potential goal-line competition, while a mobile quarterback further threatens touchdown equity. Achane\u2019s talent is undeniable, but his current ADP leaves little room for things to go wrong. Tie in all those factors, and fantasy managers are suddenly six feet from the edge, and they\u2019re thinking maybe six feet ain\u2019t so far down (Thank you Creed!).\u201d Jordan Mason (RB \u2013 MIN)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cEven when Aaron Jones<\/a> was younger, he had a difficult time staying healthy for a full season. He\u2019s on the wrong side of 30. Jordan Mason is already in an RBBC, so he has value regardless, but if anything happens to Jones, he has the build and ability to be a bell-cow RB. The Vikings brought in Kyler Murray<\/a> to compete for the starting QB gig. I expect him to win the job over J.J. McCarthy<\/a> and propel the Vikings\u2019 offense to another level. With a current consensus ranking at RB 40, Mason seems cheap given the possibility of Jones missing time and the potential of the Vikings\u2019 offense becoming more explosive in 2026.\u201d Chris Rodriguez (RB \u2013 JAC)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWhen you take out injuries, who has more upside past the RB32 spot than Chris Rodriguez (RB42)? Tuten is his only competition, and he averaged 3.7 yards per carry on his way to the 3rd worst PFF rushing grade (min 65). Rodriguez, in his worst YPC year, was at 4.5 and ranked 20th last year in PFF rushing grade. This was quietly one of the most efficient offenses, and RBs accounted for 20 touchdowns last year. These stats, on top of Rodriguez playing for Coen previously in college, show he should be the favorite to take the job.\u201d RJ Harvey (RB \u2013 DEN)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cECR has RJ Harvey at RB32. I\u2019m nine spots lower at RB41. Harvey failed his audition to be a lead back after JK Dobbins<\/a> went down with what proved to be a season-ending foot injury. Before the Dobbins injury, Harvey played fewer than one-third of Denver\u2019s offensive snaps in 9-of-10 games. After the Dobbins injury, Harvey averaged 3.3 yards per carry over nine games (playoffs included) while running behind an offensive line that ranked seventh in the run-blocking metric adjusted line yards. Dobbins re-signed with Denver, and the Broncos took University of Washington RB Jonah Coleman<\/a> in the fourth round of the draft. Harvey could have some utility as a pass catcher, but he was flat-out bad as a runner last season, and now his path to decent touch volume is blocked.\u201d Zach Charbonnet (RB \u2013 SEA)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cZach Charbonnet\u2019s ADP is RB40. And his ECR is 9 spots higher than that\u2026 for good reason. Charbonnet, of course, is returning from a late-season torn ACL, which will limit him for the start of, if not most of, the 2026 season. Add this to the fact that the \u2018Hawks took Jadarian Price<\/a> in Round 1 of April\u2019s draft, and it\u2019s no wonder early drafters don\u2019t want much to do with Charbonnet. But, given that he\u2019s already trending ahead of schedule and that Charbonnet worked well within a committee last season, he seems like a bargain if he can regain his full-strength form and become the short-yardage back in Seattle once again. Nearing double-digit round territory, I\u2019m happy to take the shot on Charbonnet\u2019s bounce back in the weeks that matter most for fantasy.\u201d Kyren Williams (RB \u2013 LAR)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve come around on Kyren Williams over the past year. I was never the biggest fan due to the lackluster size\/speed combination, but his skill set has spoken for itself. Over his career (aside from his rookie season with only a handful of touches), Kyren has never dipped below 1300 total yards and 13 total touchdowns in any of his three full-time seasons. While Blake Corum<\/a> could steal some touches after a stellar back half of last season, I can\u2019t see how he could eat into Kyren\u2019s workload enough to the point where he can\u2019t outperform his ADP. Sign me up for a guy who has historically been able to put up RB1 numbers in one of the league\u2019s best offenses, not to mention with the 2nd easiest RB schedule, who I can grab with an RB16 ADP.\u201d Cam Skattebo (RB \u2013 NYG)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cCam Skattebo was a revelation for the part of his rookie season where he was healthy. Skattebo garnered 7 total touchdowns and was the Giants\u2019 horse before the ankle injury ended his season. There are reasonable enough expectations that Skattebo will pick up right where he left off, but be cautious. The Giants may opt for a more cautious approach in bringing Skattebo back to full speed. Tyrone Tracy<\/a> is in the Giants RB room, a more than competent running back, and the team can utilize both backs in an effort to keep both fresh and get Skattebo back to 100%. While his touchdown upside is tremendous, the fear with Skattebo will be that he is in a logjam committee for most of 2026, limiting his overall upside.\u201d Who is one WR with a high standard deviation<\/a> you are higher or lower on and why?<\/p>\n Rashee Rice (WR \u2013 KC)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIf a player is rehabbing in prison a month and a half out from training camp, I would definitely say he has a wide range of outcomes. Rashee Rice is easily the biggest wild card at the receiver position with both his off-the-field issues and injury problems. When he is actually on the field, the talent and production are undeniable. But how much will he be playing? Between that and his quarterback coming off a torn ACL, Rice is not going to be on any of my Fantasy rosters this year.\u201d Malik Nabers (WR \u2013 NYG)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not seeing a world where I draft Malik Nabers anywhere near his WR13 ADP this season. The vibes around his recovery from knee surgery have been awful, and that was before we learned about the second procedure he had this offseason. I\u2019m willing to wager that he misses a few games to start the season, and even when he does finally make his return, he\u2019s going to need some time before he\u2019s fully back to normal. Add in the fact that he needs to learn a new offense, and we may not see prime Nabers again until 2027. I\u2019ll let someone else chase the late-season upside at this price tag.\u201d \u201cMalik Nabers is coming off of two surgeries to repair his torn ACL. There is zero chance he\u2019ll be 100% at any part of the 2026 season. The word on the street is that the Giants are worried he won\u2019t be ready for week one. They didn\u2019t sign WRs Darnell Mooney<\/a> and JuJu Smith-Schuster<\/a> because they like their sense of humor. Respectfully, many of my peers in the fantasy industry are having a difficult time grasping just how brutal an injury this is because they never had to rehab from it. I have, and I\u2019m telling you there is no way Nabers should be anywhere close to a top twenty WR in 2026, at least in my humble opinion. Bust.\u201d A.J. Brown (WR \u2013 NE)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t let the Philadelphia fan in my soul influence this take, but I\u2019m lower on A.J. Brown than consensus. Brown will undoubtedly lead the way for Drake Maye<\/a> and the Patriots, but a more difficult schedule and a full offseason of defensive adjustments to Maye could make repeating last year\u2019s efficiency a challenge. Brown\u2019s separation metrics were less impressive than what fantasy managers typically expect from an alpha receiver, and New England has enough surrounding talent with a strong backfield, an above-average tight end, and several capable receivers to spread the ball around. Brown\u2019s talent isn\u2019t in question, but his current price assumes both elite volume and efficiency. That\u2019s a bet I\u2019m not willing to make.\u201d Makai Lemon (WR \u2013 PHI)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cMakai Lemon has a better chance to be an impactful fantasy asset in his rookie year than his ECR of WR39 would suggest. The Amon-Ra St. Brown<\/a> comparisons that Lemon has drawn are spot-on. Lemon loses defenders with remarkable quickness off the snap, makes difficult catches, and is tough to bring down once he has the ball in his hands. The Eagles have parted ways with AJ Brown. Devonta Smith<\/a> is a terrific receiver, but it might be a mistake to assume that Smith will substantially outproduce Lemon, the 20th overall pick in this year\u2019s draft.\u201d DK Metcalf (WR \u2013 PIT)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cDK Metcalf\u2019s ECR is 5 spots higher than his WR31 ADP, but that\u2019s got nothing to do with me. I\u2019m likely to be all the way out on Metcalf this summer because the ayahuasca-laden corpse of All-World quarterback Aaron Rodgers<\/a> is much likelier at this stage in his career to target the shorter area of the field. Given the new acquisitions of Michael Pittman<\/a> and Germie Bernard<\/a>, I would expect DK to work the deepest of the 3, more often than not. Metcalf had the fewest targets of his career last season, while his yards per target and yards per reception merely hit career averages. And while he\u2019s still the physical freak we\u2019ve come to expect at the position, the fact is I just don\u2019t trust Mike McCarthy and company to get creative enough to feature Metcalf in a meaningful way where he exceeds his WR26 finish in PPR leagues from a year ago. It\u2019s certainly likely DK meets expectations. Drastically exceeding them, however, is not something I\u2019m willing to bet on.\u201d Emeka Egbuka (WR \u2013 TB)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI will be drafting Emeka Egbuka higher than he is going currently. A young player oozing with potential, playing in a solid offense with a high number of vacated targets, all while being amongst the league leaders in targets last year. I know that Emeka wasn\u2019t as strong in the second-half of the season, but with the return of Godwin and Evans, as well as Baker dealing with his own struggles, I am not too concerned. Now with Evans out of the picture, Emeka has the chance to be the top target in this offense, as I am not sure that Godwin will be able to reestablish himself to what he was prior to his injury. Emeka is a player who should have a relatively safe floor this year, as well as WR1 upside, whom you can draft with an ADP of WR20.\u201d Wan\u2019Dale Robinson (WR \u2013 TEN)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWan\u2019Dale Robinson is one of the biggest values in fantasy football right now. He\u2019s the consensus WR48 despite posting back-to-back seasons with 140 targets and 92-plus receptions, and now reunites with Brian Daboll, the coach who helped build his role in New York. The fit with Cam Ward<\/a> is particularly intriguing because Ward has consistently funneled targets to slot receivers, targeting the slot at one of the highest rates in college football during his stops at both Washington State and Miami. Robinson may never be a splash-play receiver, but elite target earners tend to beat ADP, and a player with legitimate 100-catch upside shouldn\u2019t be going outside the top 45 receivers in any format.\u201d Courtland Sutton (WR \u2013 DEN)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cHow fantasy managers and the Denver Broncos view Courtland Sutton will be fascinating during the 2026 season. With Bo Nix<\/a> over the last two seasons, Sutton has managed to reel in 155 balls and log 15 touchdown catches, not bad. However, the Broncos went out this offseason and brought in Jaylen Waddle<\/a>, who stands to compete heavily with Sutton for targets. The outlook for Sutton is less than ideal, and he profiles more as a boom-or-bust WR3 than a locked-and-loaded high-end WR3 for 2026.\u201d Mike Evans (WR \u2013 SF)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cMike Evans is ranked as the WR26, must have missed games already baked into his evaluations. I don\u2019t know about you, but when I am baking, I don\u2019t like to predict the ingredients I need before following the recipe. In this case, the recipe is simple. We have a Hall of Fame Receiver who is a touchdown fiend going to play for one of the most successful NFL organizations over the last decade. All reports from camps are that Evans is coming down with multiple red-zone catches and is quickly becoming a reliable target for Purdy. Considering he has played 22 of his last 34 games, it\u2019s fair to think he will miss some time. However, the last time he played a full season was in 2023. Every week he is on the field, he should be flirting with top 10 receiver numbers. That\u2019s a tasty treat at his current WR ranking.\u201d Who is one TE with a high standard deviation<\/a> you are higher or lower on and why?<\/p>\n Oronde Gadsden II (TE \u2013 LAC)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe tight end that I cannot pin down in my projections is Oronde Gadsden II. The Charger had a respectable rookie campaign that was highlighted by a month in which he averaged 18.4 PPR Fantasy Points per game. He also completely disappeared in some games with fewer than two Fantasy Points. The legitimate high-end he showed is Trey McBride<\/a>-esque, but the low-end is even scarier now with David Njoku<\/a> in town. I will have Gadsden right in the middle of those outcomes at his current ADP of TE16 and hope for the best.\u201d \u201cIf I don\u2019t grab one of the elite tight ends earlier or Kyle Pitts<\/a> in the middle rounds, then I\u2019m taking a shot on Oronde Gadsden late in the draft. The second-year man has a chance to go ballistic in Mike McDaniel\u2019s offense. As a fifth-round rookie, Gadsden averaged 9.6 yards per target (TE3), 13.6 yards per reception (TE3), and 1.79 yards per route run (TE10). His ceiling is immense, evidenced by his Week 6-9 stretch when he caught 24 passes for 377 yards and two touchdowns. I\u2019m not worried about the arrival of David Njoku<\/a>, who\u2019s there on a cheap one-year deal. Give me the athletic Gadsden late, and let\u2019s see if he can create fireworks in this offense.\u201d \u201cOronde Gadsden had 24 catches for 377 yards and two touchdowns over a four-game run from Week 6 to Week 9 last season. The rookie was TE1 in fantasy scoring over that stretch. But the Chargers signed blocking TE Charlie Kolar<\/a> in free agency and signed former Browns TE David Njoku<\/a> in May. The Chargers also added fullback Alec Ingold<\/a>, who played for new Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel in Miami. Gadsden is going to lose significant snaps to the other two tight ends and to the Chargers\u2019 new fullback, so even his modest ranking of TE17 in ECR looks too high. He simply won\u2019t play enough snaps to be startable.\u201d Colston Loveland (TE \u2013 CHI)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m higher on Colston Loveland than consensus and believe he has the upside to challenge Brock Bowers<\/a> for the TE1 crown. Ben Johnson<\/a>\u2018s offense has consistently featured the tight end position, and Loveland enters a situation where the departure of D.J. Moore<\/a> leaves plenty of targets available. Caleb Williams<\/a> possesses elite arm talent, and another year in Johnson\u2019s system should allow both quarterback and tight end to take significant steps forward. With his draft capital and skill set, Loveland has all the ingredients to become one of fantasy football\u2019s biggest breakout stars. By season\u2019s end, fantasy managers may wonder why they ever viewed him as anything less than an elite option.\u201d David Njoku (TE \u2013 LAC)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe Chargers went out and signed David Njoku to a one-year contract. Njoku is explosive and can turn catches into long TDs. The pairing with Justin Herbert<\/a> and offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel could catapult Njoku into a Top 10 TE. McDaniel is known for having his QBs quickly get the ball out to his playmakers. Remember Jonnu Smith<\/a>\u2018s season in Miami a few seasons ago? The same could happen here with Njoku. My main concern is playing time with Oronde Gadsden penciled in as the starter. Still, with a current consensus ranking at TE 26, there are worse long shots you can take than on a very talented TE on a potent offense. Honorable mention- T.J. Hockenson<\/a>.\u201d Chig Okonkwo (TE \u2013 WAS)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAt an ADP of TE21, Chig Okonkwo is basically free in fantasy drafts right now. And with the community 3 spots lower on him, I\u2019ll gladly buy the dip on a talented player in a much more favorable situation than he has ever been, mired on the Tennessee Titans for his entire career thus far. Now in Washington, Chig should have some big weeks in store and is the ideal late-round TE target for me if I punt the position altogether. More so than other late-round favorites, Okonkwo also has an exceptional QB in Jayden Daniels<\/a> and an up-and-coming, highly sought-after Offensive Coordinator in David Blough<\/a>. And with little current competition for targets outside of Terry McLaurin<\/a>, Chig is an ideal target for any and all teams looking for upside in the later rounds of drafts.\u201d Kenyon Sadiq (TE \u2013 NYJ)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI am perfectly happy to grab Kenyon Sadiq in most drafts, especially at his late TE2 price point. The Jets may not be one of the league\u2019s premier offenses, but when the only established target is Garrett Wilson<\/a>, there are plenty of spare targets to go around. Geno has had his share of struggles, but he can move the ball at least occasionally, which is an upgrade for the Jets as far as I\u2019m concerned. Whether it\u2019s Geno and his experience feeding Bowers, or Cade Klubnik<\/a> making an appearance, I think Sadiq will be one of the top options for this Jets squad, and his current TE20 ADP makes this selection all the more palatable, at the very least for a high upside TE2 flyer.\u201d George Kittle (TE \u2013 SF)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cGeorge Kittle hopes to be on the field for Week 1 after his Achilles injury in the playoffs, which would be astonishing no matter how anyone wants to look at it. Training camp status will need to be monitored heavily, but Kittle could present a nice opportunity to buy on a discount because of the injury. While the early returns may not be Kittle-esque, patience will be key. Any update that Kittle will be healthy for Week 1 might push his price to where it normally would be, but for right now, Kittle is a very interesting investment at his current cost for what he could provide for fantasy managers in 2026.\u201d Harold Fannin Jr. (TE \u2013 CLE)<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cHarold Fannin Jr. at TE7 is risky. After a breakout rookie season, it\u2019s hard not to like the player. However, this offseason, the team has continued to add pass-catching weapons. Alongside the added competition of KC Concepcion<\/a> and Denzel Boston<\/a>, we are still relying on one of Deshaun Watson<\/a> or Shedeur Sanders<\/a> to support TE1 production. It took 107 targets for him to come through last season. That\u2019s a number that will be tough to replicate in his current environment.\u201d Subscribe:\u00a0YouTube<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Spotify<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Apple Podcasts<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0iHeart<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Castbox<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Amazon Music<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Podcast Addict<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0TuneIn<\/a><\/p>\n
