0:40USPS Ground Advantage. We mean business. This past summer, my wife and I took my parents, our son, and our granddaughter on vacation to Tennessee.
0:48We wanted to get out into nature so we found the perfect cabin on Airbnb where all four generations could stay together.
0:54The amenities really made the trip special. We had our own hot tub with a mountain view, a fire pit for late night s'mores, and a full kitchen.
1:03When you're traveling with four generations, eating every meal out gets expensive so it was great to make bacon and eggs for
1:09breakfast one morning and grill steaks for dinner another night.
1:12Booking a stay like this gives you a good idea of what you're going to do.
1:17It gives you the flexibility to vacation how you want, where you want, with the people who matter most.
1:22But it got me thinking. Airbnb isn't just great for finding places to stay.
1:27You can also list your own home when you're away.
1:30It's nice that the same platform I use to book family vacations can also help me earn a little extra money during
1:36high-demand weekends without having to upend my daily life.
1:39Honestly, listing my house feels like a smart thing to do because it's just so incredibly practical.
1:44I'm already going to be traveling anyway. So why not earn a little extra money to put toward an upcoming vacation, help
1:50offset the cost of my flights, or upgrade my travel gear?
1:54Turns an empty house into an easy opportunity while you enjoy your own time off.
1:58Your home might be worth more than you think.
2:01Find out how much at airbnb.com slash host. Most undervalued players right now on July 22nd in fantasy football, according to Dave Richard on FFT Express.
2:08Well, hello, Dave Richard. It's always interesting to look at these players that seem to have a low ADP now and then
2:15go back to this list a month from now when the preseason is basically over, training camp is definitely over, the regular
2:22season is upon us, and see how many of them still have an ADP that's considered favorable.
2:27So enjoy this little video now, make a little star next to everybody's name, and then we'll revisit it in a month.
2:33You didn't even say hello to me. I said hello.
2:36I say hello to you every day. People don't care about us saying hello to each other and all that nice stuff.
2:43Let's just get into it, the players that are undervalued.
2:46I will start with a quarterback that I think is just way too undervalued, and that's Jalen Hurts, who for the last X amount of seasons...
2:53Yeah, it hurts. It does hurt. Thank you. Oh, gosh.
2:56Now you're making terrible dad jokes. I wish we could start over because it hurts my ears to continue listening to you.
3:0378.9 is his ADP on CBS. It's a little bit higher on Fantasy Pros.
3:07Bottom line is he's not one of the first five quarterbacks off the board.
3:11He should be. He's gotten fantasy managers off to great starts each of the last three seasons.
3:16Then something happens late in the year, and we can't count on him for the fantasy playoffs.
3:21If he can help me get to the fantasy playoffs, I'm happy to have him on my team as my starting quarterback.
3:28I can always find another quarterback along the way, and there's no guarantee that he's just going to fall off just because
3:34the calendar returns to Christmas and New Year's late in the year.
3:38I think Jalen Hurts is one of the best quarterbacks you can go out and get.
3:42Other quarterbacks, Justin Herbert, Caleb Williams, especially Patrick Mahomes.
3:45We know what the upside is for each of those three guys.
3:49They're going after pick 90 on CBS, after pick 78 on Fantasy Pros.
3:53Okay, great stuff on Jalen Hurts actually going behind Dak Prescott, which is a little surprising.
3:57Yeah, I wouldn't do that. I'd rather have Hurts.
4:00Who else you got? So I tried finding a good value at running back, and I got to tell you, the ADP
4:07is really on point for that position. There are a couple of running backs who I think are getting taken a little bit too soon.
4:14I could have said James Cook and Chase Brown because their ADP is right around the 1-2 turn, and I think they're solid round one picks.
4:22But the one that really stood out to me is David Montgomery, whose ADP is right around the end of round five.
4:28I think he's worth going in the middle of round five, maybe even early round five, certainly earlier than that if we're talking half or non-PPR.
4:36But it looks to me like he's going to be the lead running back for Houston.
4:41This is a team that is a little conservative offensively.
4:44We saw what Joe Mixon did two seasons ago when he was an older running back.
4:48The changed teams, got a huge opportunity in Houston, and he made the most of it.
4:53I know Montgomery isn't quite as polished of a pass catcher as Joe Mixon is, but boy, he can bully for touchdowns,
5:00and he can break off some long runs still.
5:02I think his last great year comes this year as the lead running back for the Texans.
5:07Yeah, that's an interesting take that the ADP is very on point.
5:11But yeah, if I look at noteworthy ADP at running back, it is usually guys I think are going too early rather than guys going too late.
5:19Okay, wide receivers? I've got two groups of wide receivers, and the first one is the next best group after the elite tier.
5:26These are wide receivers that are going anywhere from just a little bit to maybe a round different than where I would draft them.
5:33But it's names that are going to go in rounds three and four.
5:37Tee Higgins, Devontae Smith, Emeka Abuka, Ladd McConkie, Terry McLaurin, and then Jalen Waddell is going like late round four and even into round five on CBS ADP.
5:45These are all wide receivers that I think have potential to finish top 15, if not top 12, assuming that things break right for them.
5:52The target volume is good. They stay healthy. All kinds of things that we can look at for each of them and
5:59say, yeah, if this goes right, that goes right.
6:02They should be in a fantastic situation, and fantasy managers can benefit from them.
6:06And I'm really starting to drill down into this group of wide receivers because we know there aren't a lot of wide
6:12receivers in the elite tier that just have a super clean case.
6:16And it's going to be really hard for fantasy managers to feel amazing about their first two wide receivers unless they go
6:22receiver, receiver, and they're picking anywhere between like seventh and twelfth in their full PPR drafts.
6:27So I feel like you need to really nail these wide receivers in that round three, four range.
6:32I think those are the wide receivers that carry good value.
6:36I've got three other wide receivers that are going.
6:38Can you repeat the names? Went a little fast there with the first.
6:42Tee Higgins. You writing this down? You said Devontae Williams, which was interesting.
6:46I meant Devontae Smith. Yeah. I don't know who Devontae Williams is.
6:50Did I say Emeka Abuka or did I say Bob Abuka?
6:53You said Emeka Big Boo. Vlad McConkie, Terry McLaurin, Jalen Waddle.
6:56Not Tom Waddle. Chicago fans. And now we'll take a break.
6:59I'm rolling here, man. Break Schmake. Should have said hello earlier.
7:03Okay, we'll be right back with the rest of Dave's undervalued wide receivers after this.

7:43Visit yearup.org to learn more. Hey, Dave. Three more wide receivers.
7:46Parker Washington, Ricky Pearsall, Casey Concepcion. They are on my list of players that I want to get on my fantasy team.
7:53I love the way that Parker Washington finished last year.
7:56I think it's wide open who could be the best receiver in Jacksonville, but I love the role that Washington has.
8:02And I think he's the best bet to lead the team in targets and catches, and that's why I'd draft him ahead
8:08of Brian Thomas Jr., ahead of Jacoby Myers. His ADP is right around 80th overall.
8:13I think he should be going at least 10 picks higher than that.
8:17Ricky Pearsall's ADP is right around 100th overall. I think that's a bet worth taking.
8:21Consider George Kittle coming back from his injury. Mike Evans banged up each of the last couple of seasons.
8:27Pearsall's got his own injury history himself, but that's baked into the ADP.
8:31I think he's worth taking maybe even 20 picks higher than that, just in case he does do well.
8:36We know Brock Purdy is a good thrower, and we know that Ricky Pearsall, when he's been healthy, the targets have been there.
8:43The numbers have been there, too. It's just a matter of he hasn't been healthy that much.
8:48Casey Concepcion could be the lead target getter in Cleveland.
8:51It's either going to be him or Harold Fannin.
8:54They're both young players that are good short area targets, easy targets for their quarterback to hit.
8:59His ADP is right around 120th overall. I think he should be going closer to where Pearsall's ADP is, which is around 100th overall.
9:06Could be a monster in terms of not just catches, but yards after the catch.
9:10Explosive plays. Could sneak his way into the end zone on a couple of touchdown runs inside the five.
9:16He's certainly going to be a weapon. He reminded me of Zay Flowers.
9:20And Zay Flowers had his best year with Todd Monken last year.
9:23Monken now the head coach and play caller of the Cleveland Browns this year.
9:28Finally, we got a tight end on the list?
9:30I've got two tight ends. Fannin's one of them.
9:33And after the year that he had last year, I think it's kind of criminal that he's going so close to round.
9:39He's in basically round seven, middle of round seven.
9:42I think he's worth going in round six. And then he should be going around the same time as Sam Laporta.
9:48You can split hairs on whether Laporta should go first or Fannin, but they should be going next to each other.
9:55Whichever one of those two tight ends, I can get second.
9:58I feel good about it. The ADP says Fannin is the one that you could get second.
10:03And again, it's either going to be him or Concepcion that leads the Cleveland Browns in targets this year.
10:08That's a team that's probably going to be playing from behind quite a bit.
10:13And Isaiah likely, I wasn't a huge fan when he went to New York at first.
10:17But the fact that Malik Nabors is slow to recover from his knee injury and the fact that Jackson Dart did have
10:24a good year targeting tight ends last year. Now he's got an explosive option.
10:28I think the case could be made that he's going to be top two on the Giants in targets per game.
10:34He could even be number one if Malik Nabors struggles to get healthy, gets back on the field.
10:40His ADP is right around, it actually varies the most.
10:43On CBS, it's 92. On Fantasy Pros, it's 122.
10:45My gosh, if you can get him in round 10, I think you're stealing him from the rest of the league.
10:51But even if you're getting him in round eight or nine, I think it's okay value for a tight end who's got some huge upside.
10:59He's had nine games in his career where he's had six or more targets, 12 plus PPR points in eight of the nine.
11:06That is Isaiah Likely. Just one more name I'd throw out would be Kelsey, who's going even later than likely, at least on CBS, 107th overall.
11:13Based on last year, he was tight end five or six per game when Patrick Mahomes was healthy.
11:19So he's borderline top 12 in ADP right now.
11:21Thank you, Dave Richard. Hope you have a wonderful day.
11:24You don't have to say it back. I know you mean it.
11:28I know you feel the same way. We'll talk to you tomorrow on Fantasy Football Today.
