One of the most established high-stakes platforms around is the FFPC (Fantasy Football Players Championship), where drafts start from $35 and go as high as your budgets can imagine. The unique aspect of FFPC scoring is that it is tight end-premium, where they accumulate an extra 0.5 points per reception, on top of the regular PPR scoring.
Because of this, the thirst for tight ends is real, and that sometimes can allow other gems to slide further down in average draft position (ADP) than they should. When we looked at the ADP for FFPC in June, names like Jaylen Waddle, Josh Downs and Darnell Mooney made the list. Now, as we stand on the precipice of training camp, these are the names to draft on FFPC.

Best Fantasy Football Draft Values: FFPC Leagues
Jaylen Waddle (WR – MIA) | ADP: 71
In the last month, despite Jonnu Smith being traded to the Steelers, Jaylen Waddle’s ADP has only risen by 3.2 spots, which seems unfathomable when on Underdog, he’s risen by nine places. The Miami Dolphins were bad in 2024, and they’ll likely be bad again in 2025, but there are reasons for optimism around Waddle, even for those he burned in 2024.
The Dolphins’ defense looks set to be one of the worst in the NFL, particularly now that they’ve traded away Jalen Ramsey, leaving Storm Duck as their most recognised cornerback. This should lead to the Dolphins allowing plenty of points and, in turn, passing the ball more themselves.
Waddle led the team in yards per target (1.74) and yards per reception (12.83); he simply needed the ball more often. Tua Tagovailoa ranked third in pass attempts per game (36.3) but missed five games in the regular season. Waddle averaged 4.79 more PPR points in games with Tagovailoa last year, and it’s not hard to imagine a bounceback this year. At pick 75, Waddle feels undervalued by at least a round.

Colston Loveland (TE – CHI) | ADP: 130
The Bears were aware when they drafted Colston Loveland that his offseason would be slowed down by shoulder surgery, but his timeline kept him on track for training camp, which is the most important part of on-field activities anyway.
Loveland has the potential to be a difference-maker immediately, working well in both the passing game and holding his own as a run-blocker. This is always a key factor for tight ends, and all being well, it’ll help Loveland see the field early and often.
Ben Johnson was the mastermind behind Sam LaPorta‘s breakout rookie season and believed in Loveland enough to want him as a priority with the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The history of rookie tight ends hasn’t been great until recent years, and this video goes into that in more detail. In tight end-premium formats like this, Loveland feels like a must-draft.
Tyler Allgeier (RB – ATL) | ADP: 151
The gap between Tyler Allgeier and Bijan Robinson is the eighth-biggest gap between a No. 1 RB and a No. 2 RB in the league, and 15 RB2s are drafted before Allgeier, who finished 10th in explosive run rate in 2024 and ranked seventh in juke rate.
Yes, Robinson is a spectacular player and could very well end up as the RB1 overall this year, but that only furthers Allgeier’s case as one of the most valuable handcuffs in fantasy football.

Will Shipley (RB – PHI) | ADP: 179
By now, if you haven’t heard the conversations surrounding running backs coming off 400+ touch seasons, you might be one of the lucky few, as it’s been a hot topic.
There is also a history of backs coming off 1,500 yards failing to live up to expectations in the following years, furthering the case that Saquon Barkley might be in for a rough season, given his cost.
Will Shipley is the clear No. 2 RB in Philadelphia with only A.J. Dillon behind him, who missed the entirety of 2024 with a neck injury, and hasn’t looked good for a while.
C.J Stroud (QB – TEX) | ADP: 134
Has the fade on C.J. Stroud gone a little bit too far? It’s possible. Stroud was a complete wet fart in 2024, failing massively to live up to an overly inflated ADP that saw him be a top-six quarterback in many drafts. The thing is, that was never a good price for him.
Stroud had finished as the QB12 in 2023, with a strong advance rate having been drafted at 180th overall, but he didn’t belong in the top tier, having had only two top-five weekly finishes in 2023 and putting up only two of the top 100 quarterback fantasy performances in his rookie year.
Stroud was a victim of hype; he couldn’t live up to it as the Texans regressed heavily, and his 14.6 rushing yards per game ranked 28th among quarterbacks, failing to help him come close to the true elites. Now, though, at pick 134, maybe it’s time to take a breath and try again.
The Texans have a woeful offensive line and two aging running backs in Joe Mixon and Nick Chubb, which could lead to them having to rely on the quick passing game more often than not. With Nico Collins, Jaylin Noel, Jayden Higgins and Christian Kirk, it seems hard to imagine Stroud not having some fantasy value above this current rate.
