While the 2026 NFL regular season is still several months away, now is the time to start preparing for redraft leagues. Many factors go into fantasy football players winning their redraft league every year. However, the top factor is drafting players at a value. Let’s look at six of my favorite draft values based on Yahoo ADP for redraft leagues.

Best Fantasy Football Draft Values on Yahoo for 2026
Tyler Shough (QB – NO) – ADP 124.7 | QB24
Last season, Shough was the QB4 over the final six weeks, averaging 20.1 fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he had four top-12 finishes during that stretch. More importantly, the Saints made him one of the biggest winners this offseason. They improved the offensive line by signing David Edwards. New Orleans also added Travis Etienne Jr., Jordyn Tyson, and Bryce Lance to go with Chris Olave, giving Shough several options in the passing game. There is no reason why Aaron Rodgers and Fernando Mendoza should have a higher ADP than him.
Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE) – ADP 57.9 | RB23
An off-the-field issue hovered over Judkins this time last year, leaving fantasy players unsure what to do with him. However, he quickly became an RB2 for fantasy players after missing Week 1. Judkins had at least 18 rushing attempts for 110 yards or a touchdown in three consecutive games after making his career debut. Furthermore, he averaged 17.4 PPR fantasy points per game in the six contests with 18 or more rushing attempts. Judkins could be a top-10 running back this year, assuming he is 100 percent healthy for Week 1.
Chris Rodriguez Jr. (RB – JAC) – ADP 131.8 | RB56
Jacksonville lost Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency. Yet, they didn’t use any draft capital on a running back. While everyone is excited to draft Bhayshul Tuten, don’t forget about Rodriguez. He spent time with head coach Liam Coen at Kentucky. Furthermore, Rodriguez won’t be a bench warmer for the Jaguars, as the team used a two-headed approach last season. Meanwhile, Rodriguez was arguably the Washington Commanders’ best running back in 2025, averaging 12.8 PPR fantasy points per game in the four contests with 12 or more rushing attempts.
Rashee Rice (WR – KC) – ADP 34.1 | WR14
Unfortunately, Rice has been in the news for all the wrong reasons lately. He is serving a 30-day sentence for violating his probation. Furthermore, the star wide receiver is rehabbing following a clean-up procedure on his knee. Hopefully, Rice doesn’t get suspended and is ready to play in Week 1. Last year, the former SMU star played in only eight games due to a suspension and an injury. However, he was outstanding when on the field, 18.8 PPR fantasy points per game, scoring 23.2 or more in half the contests.
Wan’Dale Robinson (WR – TEN) – ADP 127.1 | WR50
While Robinson changed teams this offseason, the veteran will still play for the same coach that he has had for his entire pro career. Brian Daboll taking over as Tennessee’s offensive coordinator should please fantasy players. Robinson has had 140 targets in back-to-back years playing under Daboll. More importantly, he became more than a yards after the catch guy in 2025, averaging career highs in yards per reception (11) and aDOT (8.5). While Carnell Tate will see a significant workload, Robinson will lead the Titans in targets and receptions.
Chig Okonkwo (TE – WAS) – ADP 129.1 | TE24
Okonkwo is an excellent sleeper candidate, as he is in line to finish second on the Commanders in targets behind Terry McLaurin. Last year, the veteran set career-highs in receptions (56), targets (79), receiving yards (560), and PPR fantasy points per game (7.3) despite playing on an awful Tennessee Titans offense. Yet, he thrived late in the season as Cam Ward developed, averaging 12.7 fantasy points per game during the fantasy playoffs. Unless Antonio Williams is this year’s Amon-Ra St. Brown, Okonkwo should have his first career top-12 finish.
