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 Yahoo
Let’s look at six of my favorite draft values based on Yahoo ADP for redraft leagues.
Tyler Shough (NO) – ADP 128.8 | QB26
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 (CLE) – ADP 56.6 | 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% healthy for Week 1.
Jordan Mason (MIN) – ADP 128.3 | RB44
While Mason averaged only 8.1 PPR fantasy points per game last year, he outperformed Aaron Jones on the ground, posting a better rushing yards per attempt average (4.8 vs. 4.2), yards after contact per attempt average (2.42 vs. 1.67), and touchdown per touch rate (3.5% vs. 1.9%). Meanwhile, the only running back the Vikings added this offseason was sixth-round rookie Demond Claiborne. If Jones struggles to stay healthy again after missing five games last year with multiple injuries, Mason could end the season as a borderline top-24 running back.
Zay Flowers (BAL) – ADP 45.5 | WR19
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.
DJ Moore (BUF) – ADP 65.9 | WR26
After years of dealing with subpar quarterbacks, Moore gets to play with Josh Allen in 2026. Yet, he has been productive, averaging 14 or more PPR fantasy points per game in five of seven seasons since his rookie year despite never being an elite touchdown scorer. Meanwhile, the Bills have lacked a go-to wide receiver since Stefon Diggs was traded. However, Diggs finished as the WR9 in his final season in Buffalo, averaging 9.4 targets and 16.1 fantasy points per game. Moore could have similar success with Allen under center.
Chig Okonkwo (WAS) – ADP 129.6 | TE23
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 Washington adds Stefon Diggs or Brandon Aiyuk, Okonkwo should have his first career top-12 finish.
