Fantasy Football Draft Values: Gus Edwards, Chase Brown, Pat Freiermuth (2024)

The 2024 fantasy football regular season is still a few months away. However, now is the time to start preparing for your fantasy football drafts. While the average draft position (ADP) will change between today and opening night, fantasy players should look for bargain and value picks in every round.

Here are the top fantasy football draft values for each round of a 12-team, 1QB, half-point PPR league using Underdog Fantasy’s ADP. Below we dive into a few notable fantasy football draft values ahead of the 2024 fantasy football season.

Fantasy Football Draft Values to Target

We dive into some of the best fantasy football draft values to target in fantasy football drafts based on current ADP.

Round 10 – Gus Edwards (RB – LAC): ADP 119.5

While he suffered an injury during mini-camps, Edwards should be ready for training camp next week. The veteran running back is coming off the best season of his career, totaling 13 rushing touchdowns in 2023, the fifth-most in the NFL. Meanwhile, he should have no trouble fending off an injury-prone J.K. Dobbins and Kimani Vidal for the starting role this year. Edwards will be the lead back on a run-heavy offense, making him a steal in the 10th round. Don’t be surprised if he has another double-digit touchdown season.

Round 11 – Chase Brown (RB – CIN): ADP 121.8

Many believe Zack Moss will replace Joe Mixon as the lead back in Cincinnati. However, don’t be surprised if Brown takes the starting role from the veteran before Week 1. According to Fantasy Points Data, he had a higher explosive run rate (9.1% vs. 3.1%) and yards after contact per attempt (3.09 vs. 2.29) than Moss did as a starter for the Indianapolis Colts in 2023. Furthermore, Brown had a significantly higher yards per route run average (4.46 vs. 0.98) than Moss.

Round 12 – Pat Freiermuth (TE – PIT): ADP 135.6

Unfortunately, Freiermuth is coming off the worst season of his career. Yet, fantasy players should give him a pass. The Steelers’ offense should be significantly better after upgrading their quarterback room. Arthur Smith taking over as the team’s offensive coordinator is excellent news for Freiermuth. Last year, the Atlanta Falcons tight ends averaged a 31.7% overall target share and a 29.3% red zone target share. With Diontae Johnson in Carolina, Freiermuth could see the volume needed for a breakout season in the final season of his rookie contract.
