As the pre-training camp lull in news takes full effect, now is a good time to take an appraisal of the best ball landscape and decide which players we feel good about and which players we don’t. Looking at the current average draft position (ADP) on Underdog, these are the best values in the middle rounds.

Fantasy Football Draft Values to Target
Round 6
Jauan Jennings (WR – SF)
Last year, Jauan Jennings was one of the best value picks in fantasy football, reeling in three weekly finishes with over 25 PPR points, including a massive 46.5 points in Week 3. With Deebo Samuel now in Washington and Brandon Aiyuk‘s recovery from a multi-knee-ligament injury looking protracted, at best, Jennings has a chance to establish himself as the No. 1 WR in what typically is one of the more fruitful offenses in the league.
Round 7
Sam LaPorta (TE – DET)
Many people felt burned by last year’s TE1 failing to live up to expectations, but touchdown regression was always coming for Sam LaPorta after he scored nine touchdowns in his rookie year.
LaPorta averaged just 7.1 PPR points through the first seven weeks last season, but he was reportedly playing through injuries. From Week 8 onwards, though, he had a massive bounce-back, scoring 13.2 points per game. You can get him in round seven, five rounds after the most costly tight ends.

Round 8
Kyler Murray (QB – ARI)
Last season, Kyler Murray had seven games with 45+ rushing yards, which is a level of floor not many quarterbacks hit in this league. Murray averaged the sixth-most rushing yards among the position (34.4) on the 12th-most amount of rushing attempts.
Should the Cardinals elect to use Murray more in this area, he could be incredibly valuable for fantasy football. Not to mention what if elite prospect Marvin Harrison Jr. shows some of what we believed he could be or Trey McBride scores touchdowns? If either of those things occurs, don’t expect to get Murray this late in drafts in 2026.
Round 9
Travis Etienne (RB – JAX)
I don’t like it either, but we have to consider the fact that everything the Jaguars coaching staff has said so far this offseason has been positive for Travis Etienne, while Bhayshul Tuten is still pulled up on the not-so-minor issue of fumbling the ball. One key factor that remains bullish for Etienne is his relationship with Trevor Lawrence, with the two players having been together since their time at Clemson.
If Lawrence feels most comfortable with Etienne out there, then the former first-round talent might have an opportunity to emerge as a league-winner from an area of ADP where James Conner, Leonard Fournette and Raheem Mostert all emerged from.
