While the 2026 NFL regular season is still a few months away, now is the time to start preparing for redraft leagues. Many factors go into fantasy players winning their redraft league every year. However, the top factor is drafting players at a value.

Best Fantasy Football Draft Values on Sleeper
Let’s look at six of my favorite draft values based on Sleeper ADP for redraft leagues.
Daniel Jones (IND) – ADP 195.1 | QB27
Jones has bounced around the NFL, with up-and-down fantasy football success. However, he was outstanding last season before tearing his Achilles. Thankfully, Jones should be ready for Week 1. Furthermore, the veteran was playing the best football of his career before getting hurt, ranking as the QB6 over the first eight weeks, averaging 1.6 passing touchdowns and 20.8 fantasy points per game, totaling 22.2 or more in 62.5% of the contests. Jones should be drafted significantly higher than the 27th quarterback off the board just based on last year’s success.
Chase Brown (CIN) – ADP 22.2 | RB12
After a quiet rookie season, Brown has turned into a fantasy star. He finished as the RB10 in 2024, averaging 15.9 PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, Brown was the RB7 last year, averaging 16.6 fantasy points per game despite only playing half the season with Joe Burrow. More importantly, he has been a touchdown machine on a high-powered offense, totaling 11 scores in back-to-back years. The Bengals did nothing to challenge Brown’s role as the featured guy this offseason, meaning fantasy players should expect another top-10 finish in 2026.
Quinshon Judkins (CLE) – ADP 67.8 | RB25
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-12 running back this year, assuming he is 100% healthy for opening weekend.
Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET) – ADP 11.2 | WR5
There isn’t a safer player to draft in fantasy than St. Brown. He has had at least 115 receptions on 141 targets for 1,263 receiving yards and double-digit touchdowns in three consecutive seasons. More importantly, St. Brown has four straight top-seven finishes, including three consecutive WR3 finishes. Furthermore, he is one of the most consistent players in fantasy, averaging 19.1 PPR fantasy points per game, scoring 14.8 or more in over 70% of the contests last year. St. Brown should be the sixth selection in drafts, not a turn pick.
Zay Flowers (BAL) – ADP 49.1 | WR21
Baltimore made several changes to their receiving corps this offseason. Yet, Flowers’ role as the clear-cut No. 1 option in the passing game remains unchallenged. Last year, the former Boston College star averaged 14.3 PPR fantasy points per game, a career high. However, he was even better when Lamar Jackson played, averaging 15 fantasy points per game on only 6.9 targets per contest. Despite coming off his first career WR1 finish, don’t be surprised if Flowers sets career highs in every category this season under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle.
Travis Kelce (KC) – ADP 116.2 | TE19
While his days as an elite player are over, Kelce is still a reliable fantasy option. Last season, he finished as the TE3 overall and the TE9 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 11.4 PPR fantasy points per contest. The veteran finished fourth among tight ends with 108 targets, totaling at least 800 receiving yards for the 12th consecutive year. Furthermore, Patrick Mahomes should be ready for Week 1. While Kelce won’t finish as a top-five tight end, the veteran is a massive steal as the TE19 off the board.
