Finding values in fantasy football drafts is perhaps the biggest variable in helping win leagues. Almost everyone drafts a stud in the first three rounds, but it’s when the draft gets late and your leaguemates are out of familiar names that a league can be won or lost.
Depending on the commissioner site you use for your fantasy football draft, sometimes there are extreme values, particularly in the early summer when the news cycle for each team is slower. FantasyPros will have you covered this fantasy football draft season as we’ll explore the draft values and players that are overvalued and undervalued for each specific fantasy football commissioner site.
Today, we’re starting the first of a monthly series that will be diving into fantasy football draft values on the Fantrax site. These are just some of the names that hold tremendous value in drafts right now based on average draft position (ADP).

Fantasy Football Draft Values: Fantrax Leagues
With the NFL regular season approaching, depth charts and ADP are starting to take shape. As we move through the summer, these numbers and draft position spots will inevitably move (sometimes drastically), but it’s our job as fantasy football managers to find value whenever we draft. While every draft is unpredictable with twists and turns, trends and news out of training camps can lead to ADPs rising and falling consistently across different fantasy sites.
As the news starts to come in like a flood this summer, we must look past the noise and find the signal and what is relevant to fantasy football, particularly to fantasy football ADP. One site gaining popularity in its fantasy football game is Fantrax.
Let’s look at the best fantasy football draft values you can find right now, according to the current Fantrax ADP. Below are four fantasy football draft values on Fantrax for the beginning of June. These may not be the same names in two months, but for now, drafters can get a steal with these four players.
Chase Brown (RB – CIN) |ADP: 38.9/ECR: 34.5
From Week 4 through Week 18 in 2024, Chase Brown was the RB6 in fantasy points per game in half-PPR scoring. Only Jahmyr Gibbs, Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, Bijan Robinson and Josh Jacobs were better. Remember Bucky Irving‘s ascension? Brown was better. Remember Jonathan Taylor dominating the fantasy playoffs? Brown still finished Weeks 4-18 with more points per game. Kyren Williams was a volume king, but still couldn’t outscore Brown.
The Bengals did nothing to address their running back room. Zack Moss (who Brown overtook) is still the No. 2 RB. Samaje Perine is back to catch a couple of passes, but he is not a threat to Brown’s workload. Brown finished the season with 65 targets despite being a part-time player in the first three weeks of the season. That total was sixth among all running backs.
What makes Brown’s season even more amazing is his production on the ground (990 rushing yards) with the Bengals throwing the ball 65% of the time in 2o24 (second-most in the league). What if the defense is even slightly improved, and the Bengals commit more to the running game? An average draft position around pick 40 will start to look way too low if that happens in 2025.
Jameson Williams (WR – DET) | ADP: 49.9/ECR: 44
Jameson Williams finished the 2025 season with 12.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game. But that number is a little bit skewed by some circumstances from last season. If you remove four of Williams’ weeks where he either missed all or part of the game, he finished with 14.1 points per game in the other contests. That 14.1 points per game would have been tied for 12th among all wide receivers (tied with Brian Thomas Jr.). Williams has the reputation of a boom-or-bust receiver option, and some of that stigma is still true. But Williams may be more reliable than meets the eye.
Williams finished the season with 11 yards per target, fifth among wide receivers. He was also in the top 12 in yards per reception, target separation and fantasy points per target. All Williams needs at this point is more looks in his direction. His 91 targets were 40th at his position last year, and it’s now clear that if he were to clear 110 targets in a season, he could easily be a 1,200-yard, 10-touchdown player. His progression since 2022 points in that direction, and this might be the season Williams puts it all together and stays healthy for a full year.
D’Andre Swift (RB – CHI) | ADP: 108.3/ECR: 101.5
Lost in all of the Caleb Williams drama from 2024 is the fact that running back D’Andre Swift was a workhorse running back. He was 10th in carries (253), 15th in targets (52), 10th in snap share (67%) and 10th in receiving yards. All of that work, however, resulted in just six total touchdowns, which ranked 27th among all running backs. Coincidentally, Swift was 27th in running back red-zone touches with just 31 on the season.
But those 31 red-zone touches were at least 10 more than anyone else on his team. Swift was just incredibly unlucky at turning that volume into scores. He only had four total red-zone touches in the last three weeks of the season as well, which clinched his status as a playoff-week bust for many fantasy managers.
What if the 65/35 split between Swift and Roschon Johnson continues in 2025 and Swift gets more touchdown luck? It’s not out of the realm of possibility that this Bears offense improves as a whole (particularly the offensive line), and Swift takes another step forward.
Swift already has a 1,200 total-yard season under his belt in Philadelphia, as well as a 10-touchdown season in Detroit. Could Swift reach those numbers again? Even if he comes close, pick 108 would be way too low to acquire his services.
Jordan Love (QB – GB) | ADP: 145.9/ECR: 124.5
Maybe it’s just an NFC North bias on Fantrax or something? In all seriousness, this Jordan Love ADP is perhaps the wildest discrepancy between the Fantrax ADP and the consensus ranks as we inch towards mid-June. More than 20 picks separate the two, and even with Love’s regression in 2024, this gap is just way too wide.
Among quarterbacks who played at least six games in 2024, Jordan Love finished 16th with 16.3 fantasy points per game. That was more than three points per game lower than his output in 2023, when he finished as the QB6. What changed between the two seasons? Well, primarily it was Josh Jacobs. Jacobs scored 16 total touchdowns in 2024, which was a big reason why Love’s passing touchdowns fell from 32 to 25.
However, Love’s completion percentages (64% and 63%) were largely the same, and his yards per attempt, yards per catch, sack percentage and quarterback rating all improved from 2024 to 2025. Missing two games, plus an onslaught of Jacobs’ goal-line touchdowns, didn’t help, but there is reason to believe Love may improve in 2025. Packers receivers had the ninth-most dropped passes in the NFL last season, and Love had the fifth-highest completion percentage in the red zone last year.
If those two things can course-correct, be sure the Packers are going to want to take first-round rookie receiver Matthew Golden out for a spin with Love.
