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.
Drake Baldwin (C – ATL) | Consensus ADP: 107/Yahoo ADP: 138
Yahoo managers don’t seem fully sold on Drake Baldwin’s breakout. While Salvador Perez (94 Yahoo ADP, 98 consensus ADP) and Will Smith (107 Yahoo ADP, 100 consensus ADP) are going right around their market value, Baldwin is being drafted at pick 138 despite a consensus ADP closer to 105.
Baldwin produced solid numbers across the board last season (minus steals), mirroring his strong minor league performance the year prior. In both the Majors and minors, Baldwin came up just short of 20 home runs, 90 RBIs and a .280 average. The Braves backstop rarely strikes out (15.2%) and should hit near the middle of the lineup.
With a modest .289 batting average on balls in play (BABIP) last season, there’s even some room for growth. Baldwin’s a fine pick just outside of the top 100, but if you can land him in the 130s or even the 120s, he’s a steal.
Brandon Nimmo (OF – TEX) | Consensus ADP: 119/Yahoo ADP: 154
Brandon Nimmo is going about three and a half rounds later in Yahoo leagues, presenting excellent value. Batting atop the order for Texas, Nimmo should provide above-average production across the board. Runs will likely be his biggest calling card, but he offers solid power as well.
Nimmo has traded a bit of patience for power in recent seasons. While 75 walks per year is nice, fantasy managers will gladly take the 25 home runs over the excess of free passes. That said, he could regain some patience as he settles back into a leadoff role. Nimmo also boosted his average back up to .262 last season.
Even in a pitcher-friendly park, there’s little reason to expect a major power drop-off. Nimmo should still be good for around 85 runs, 23 homers, 80 RBI and 10-15 steals. He’s also been extremely durable, missing only a handful of games over the past four seasons. Nimmo is well worth a look in the 13th round, but in Yahoo leagues, you can probably wait until the 15th round.
Yainer Diaz (C, DH – HOU) | Consensus ADP: 143/Yahoo ADP: 190
Similar to Drake Baldwin, Yahoo managers are undervaluing another catcher in Yainer Diaz. Diaz took a step back in 2025, but should still be lined up for a massive amount of playing time. Steamer projects Diaz to rank seventh among all catchers in plate appearances, one spot behind Baldwin. A major factor for fantasy catchers is playing time, and Diaz comes with no shortage of it.
Diaz posted 20 home runs, 70 RBI and a .256 batting average last season. In 2024, he hit .299 with 16 home runs and 84 RBI. His BABIP dipped over 60 points from the year prior, so perhaps a boost in batting average could be in order. His strikeout rate went down last year, and his ISO went up.
Now in his prime at 27, Diaz is a likely candidate to finish as a top-10 catcher. He played in 143 games last year and should approach that number again. Diaz is worth drafting closer to pick 150 than pick 200.
