Fantasy Baseball Draft Values to Target (2026)

I’ve highlighted a few players whose Yahoo ADP lags behind the broader market. If you’re targeting these players, you may not want to wait as long as Yahoo suggests, but you can still likely get them a round or two later than usual. Here are a few fantasy baseball draft values to target.

Best Fantasy Baseball Draft Values: Yahoo

Without further ado, here are undervalued players in Yahoo fantasy baseball leagues worth targeting.

Brandon Lowe (2B – PIT) | Consensus ADP: 157/Yahoo ADP: 196

Brandon Lowe is going nearly 40 picks later than he should in Yahoo leagues. A move to Pittsburgh may slightly dampen his outlook, but 30 home runs are still well within reach.

Health has been a primary concern for Lowe in recent years. The 31-year-old hasn’t played a full season since 2021, but when he’s on the field, few second basemen can match his power. His swing generates heavy backspin and a steep launch angle, helping him club 31 home runs in just 134 games last season.

With a revamped lineup in Pittsburgh and a clean bill of health, Lowe could push for a 30-home run, 90-RBI campaign again. That may be his ceiling, but at such a thin position, he’s an excellent value this late in drafts.

Drew Rasmussen (SP – TB) | Consensus ADP: 160/Yahoo ADP: 197

Fantasy managers are still pricing Drew Rasmussen based on last season’s workload limitations. Tampa Bay frequently pulled him after just two or three innings as he worked his way back from surgery.

There’s always some injury risk here, but that’s already baked into his buying price. When healthy, Rasmussen profiles as a top-30 starting pitcher. He consistently posts low ERA and WHIP marks and can rack up wins despite pitching in a tough division. While his strikeout rate dipped in 2025, he compensates with elite control and an ability to limit hard contact.

Rasmussen has never posted an ERA above 2.85 in any season of his career, and there’s little reason to expect that to change. He’s an excellent value at his current Yahoo price.

Chandler Simpson (OF – TB) | Consensus ADP: 165/Yahoo ADP: 195

In standard leagues, stolen bases still carry significant weight — and Chandler Simpson can provide plenty of them. He may be somewhat of a one-trick pony, but he has a legitimate chance to lead the league in steals.

There’s also a path to Simpson leading off for Tampa Bay, which would boost his run-scoring potential. A respectable batting average isn’t out of the question either. Simpson will offer very little in terms of power or RBI, but if your earlier picks can absorb that, he becomes a high-upside value near pick 200.
