Best Fantasy Football Draft Values on Every Commissioner Site

When preparing for your fantasy football drafts, knowing which players to target and others to avoid is important. The amount of information available can be overwhelming, so a great way to condense the data and determine players to draft and others to leave for your leaguemates is to use our expert consensus fantasy football rankings compared to fantasy football average draft position (ADP). In this way, you can identify players the experts are willing to reach for at ADP and others they are not drafting until much later than average. Let’s dive into a few of the best fantasy football draft values on each of the top commissioner sites.

De’Von Achane (MIA) – ADP 18.1 | RB9

There is no reason why Achane should be the RB9 in ADP, getting drafted after Derrick Henry (RB4) and Josh Jacobs (RB8). Last year, the former Texas A&M star was the RB5, averaging 17.6 PPR fantasy points per game despite playing on an inconsistent offense. Furthermore, he was a massive factor in the passing game, leading all running backs in receptions (78), receiving yards (592), and touchdowns (six). While the Dolphins added Alexander Mattison and Ollie Gordon II this offseason, Achane should have a featured role again in 2025.

Kenneth Walker III (SEA) – ADP 45.4 | RB18

Unfortunately, Walker missed a career-high six games last season because of injury. Yet, he had an outstanding year when healthy. The former Michigan star was the RB12 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 16.5 PPR fantasy points per outing. Furthermore, Walker posted a career-high 4.6% rushing touchdown rate, totaling seven scores in 11 games. More importantly, he set career highs in receptions (46) and targets (54) despite missing significant time with injuries. Don’t be surprised if Walker is even more involved in the passing game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR – SEA) | ECR: 20 | ADP: 37

After playing third-fiddle to DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett during his rookie campaign, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba ascended to No. 1 WR status last season. He led the Seahawks with 100 receptions, 1,130 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions.

Smith-Njigba averaged 14.9 points per game last season, finishing as the WR9 in PPR formats. Despite that breakout season, he is being drafted as the WR16 on ESPN.

That may be due to Seattle replacing quarterback Geno Smith with Sam Darnold, but Smith-Njigba could be in line for even more volume after the departures of Metcalf and Lockett this offseason.

The Seahawks did sign former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp to a three-year, $45 million contract this offseason, but Smith-Njigba should remain the alpha in Seattle’s wide receiver room. Some risk is involved, but the potential downgrade in quarterback doesn’t justify a 17-spot difference between Smith-Njigba’s FantasyPros expert consensus ranking (ECR) and his average draft position (ADP).

Other values at wide receiver include Nico Collins, Brian Thomas Jr., Drake London and Ladd McConkey. However, Smith-Njigba might be the most mispriced of them all.

Christian McCaffrey (SF) – ADP 15.9 | RB7

Last season, McCaffrey missed 13 games because of Achilles tendinitis and a PCL sprain. While the superstar comes with injury risk, he remains one of the top running backs in the NFL and fantasy football. McCaffrey was the RB1 in 2023, averaging 24.5 PPR fantasy points per game, 3.3 more than any other running back, and the mark in fantasy football. While his days as the clear-cut RB1 are over, the superstar has too much upside to get drafted as a second-round pick despite the injury risk.

D’Andre Swift (CHI) – ADP 77.9 | RB28

Many expected the Bears to add a big-name running back in the NFL Draft. Instead, they waited until the seventh round, selecting Kyle Monangai. Furthermore, Nick Chubb and J.K. Dobbins joined other teams this offseason, meaning Swift only has in-house competition for the lead role in Ben Johnson’s offense. Last year, he finished as the RB19, averaging 12.6 PPR fantasy points per game and 3.8 rushing yards per attempt. However, Chicago significantly improved their offensive line this offseason. Therefore, don’t be surprised if Swift has a career year in 2025.
