Jawan Johnson is available late or undrafted in most home leagues and is recommended as a handcuff/backup option to Tucker Kraft. Given Kraft's potential snap count limitations, Johnson represents significant value as a late-round pick.

Jalen Warren stands out as a notable name in the 61-70 ranking range. He is one of two Steelers in this tier alongside DK Metcalf. The source highlights Warren as a key player to consider in this range.

Makai Lemon is ranked 80th overall in the 2026 PPR rankings.

Brian Thomas Jr. is ranked 77th overall in the 2026 PPR rankings.

Marvin Harrison Jr. is ranked 76th overall in the 2026 PPR rankings.

Jonathan Brooks is ranked 75th overall in the 2026 PPR rankings.

Caleb Williams is ranked 74th overall in the 2026 PPR rankings.

Harold Fannin is ranked 73rd overall in the 2026 PPR rankings.

Trevion Henderson is ranked ahead of Ramondre Stevenson in the 2026 rankings, but the source argues this is incorrect. The source states that people are drafting Henderson ahead of Stevenson and that this ranking order 'has to be flipped,' indicating Henderson is overvalued relative to Stevenson.

Ramondre Stevenson is ranked RB 27 in the 2026 rankings, down from RB 21 last year. The source argues he is undervalued and should be ranked closer to Jalen Warren and Jadarian Bryce. Additionally, the Patriots' run blocking is expected to improve significantly in 2026 after being poor for the first eight games of last season.

Tucker Kraft is practicing and ranked 64th overall. However, the source cautions that he may be on a snap count or pitch count, and recommends pairing him with backup tight end Jawan Johnson in drafts. Johnson is available late or undrafted in most home leagues.

Sam Laporta is projected to have a strong 2026 season. In full PPR scoring, he is ranked ahead of quarterbacks (around 61-70 range), with the source expecting him to catch approximately 70 passes. The source cites Drew Petsing's involvement as a factor supporting this projection.

DK Metcalf is ranked well above ADP in the 2026 rankings. The source notes Pittsburgh's offensive line is solid and new offensive coordinator McCarthy employs more pace and passing volume than the Steelers' recent scheme, potentially offering a discount relative to his ranking. However, the source is not actively seeking to draft him.

Ranked 58th in full PPR top 100.

Ranked 57th in full PPR top 100.

Ranked 55th in full PPR; the Rams wanted to trade him away, similar to past situations with Cooper Cup and Allen Robinson, suggesting Sean McVay may be seeing concerning things; finished WR10 last year in full PPR but 75% of that production came from red zone touchdowns, which is unsustainable; dropped 20 spots from last year's finish, reflecting regression concerns.

Limps off and has tightness at every single practice, raising concern about durability and availability heading into the season.

Limped off practice holding his groin during 11-on-11 activity in August; injury timing raises concern given the preseason injury landscape.

Ranked 52nd in full PPR, behind Jamison Williams.

Ranked 51st in full PPR, ahead of Terry McLaurin, Mike Evans, and DeVante Adams; the Lions offense is expected to go 'absolutely crazy out of necessity,' supporting the elevated ranking despite Williams not being a traditional PPR specialist.

Ranked 50th in full PPR; going 69th in home links; described as one of the favorite clicks on the board, indicating strong value at current ADP.

Ranked 49th in full PPR rankings.

Ranked ahead of DeAndre Swift; moved down half a round from initial ranking; finished RB10 in full PPR last year despite not being the starter in week one; caught 3 passes per game last year; showed sharp cutting and running ability in preseason despite coming off injury, appearing ahead of schedule and on pace to hold down the role.

Harris has a history with Greg Roman, who was the de facto run game coordinator; the Giants' preseason blocking and usage patterns (Malik Neighbors, Patrick Ricard, Malachi Fields) suggest the team will run the football heavily; beat writers reported the Giants pursued multiple running backs (Ken Walker, H, Jeremiah Love) but didn't trade, leaving Harris positioned to hold the role despite needing to get in game shape.

The Najee Harris signing impacts Devin Singletary's role, with the source expressing uncertainty about the Giants' trust in Singletary and Tracy as primary running backs.

The source states Tyrone Tracy should not be drafted at this point, with the Najee Harris signing impacting Tracy's role more significantly than Scadaboo's. The Giants' aggressive run-game scheme and fullback usage further diminish Tracy's opportunity.

The source moved Najee Harris ahead of Tyrone Tracy but expresses skepticism about his future production, noting he's already averaging 3+ yards per carry and is coming off injuries. Harris is viewed as insurance for the Giants' running back room rather than a primary option, with the team's aggressive run-game scheme and fullback usage suggesting limited opportunity for Harris.

Ranked 47th overall in the rankings.

Ranked 46th overall, nearly 30 spots above ADP and 17 spots ahead of consensus rankings. The source and co-host are aligned on Parker Washington as the Jaguars' wide receiver one, positioning him as a significant value play at his draft cost.

Swift is going 49th in PPR leagues but ranked 53rd in consensus rankings, indicating a soft spot in draft positioning where he may be slightly overvalued relative to consensus.

Odunze is ranked 45th overall but is going 61st in home leagues and 56th in consensus rankings, indicating significant undervaluation in the market relative to the source's assessment.

Swift is ranked 44th and going 49th in PPR leagues (53rd in consensus), suggesting he is being drafted at his floor; source credits the Bears' specialized rushing scheme and Swift's improved physical aggression last year, noting that if something happens to Khalil Mack, Swift could have significantly more upside and potentially rival Breece Hall or Jaylen Warren in value.

Mitchell narrowly missed the top 100 rankings but is positioned as the primary pathway into the Chargers offense this season; source identifies him as a key value target given concerns about the team's offensive line injuries and rotation patterns.

Ranked 27th overall in PPR. No specific analysis provided in transcript excerpt.

Ranked 26th overall in PPR. No specific analysis provided in transcript excerpt.

Ranked 33rd overall in PPR, drafted 43rd in home leagues; source sees 10-spot undervaluation. Beginning week 15, Bears played over half offensive snaps with two-plus tight ends on field in five of final six games (vs. once in first 13 games). In two-plus TE sets, Loveland's yards per route run is 'outrageous'; with Sam Rausch, posted 4.66 yards per route run and 53% of team's market share in those environments. Last four games including playoffs: 22, 25, 24, and 10 full PPR points per game—'impossible to do' at tight end. At 21 years old, source projects him as future All-Pro, 'next Travis Kelce.' Source is bullish on his trajectory and role expansion.

Ranked 32nd overall in PPR. No specific analysis provided in transcript excerpt.

Ranked 31st overall in PPR. No specific analysis provided in transcript excerpt.

Ranked 28th overall in PPR. Source groups him with Waddle and Smith as receivers who can catch 100+ passes; Panthers' weak depth on paper forces more passing, positioning T-Mac as a slot-heavy reception target. Source feels good about this group's 100-catch upside.

Ranked 30th overall in PPR, one spot below Jalen Waddle. Source expects Smith to get the ball more than before but sees lower ceiling for 100+ receptions compared to Waddle in full PPR; source notes he'd probably rank Smith ahead in half-PPR due to different path to production. Smith's upside is harder to bank on in full PPR format.
