4 High-Floor Fantasy Football Players to Target (2026)

While it’s often overlooked, dominating the middle and late rounds of your fantasy football draft can be the difference between a championship contender and a middling roster. In redraft leagues, the general rule of thumb should be to use these picks on high-upside swings and “mystery box” players who are more projections-based bets. Because the waiver wire is so important in redraft formats and these players can be dropped at any time, I’ll typically lean toward taking a home run swing rather than a single.

That said, there are a handful of names being undervalued in redraft formats, with very high floors relative to their average draft position (ADP). These are all players going outside of the top 36 at their position in ADP and should be available to you in the ninth round or later. To determine redraft ADP, I’ve referenced FantasyPros’ Real-Time ADP. With that, let’s cover some high-floor players to target in your PPR leagues.

High-Floor Fantasy Football Targets

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – PIT) | Real-Time ADP: 100.3 (WR42)

After six seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, Michael Pittman Jr. is now wearing gold and black, linking up with longtime veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Pittman is your classic possession receiver, posting an average depth of target (aDOT) of 8.4 or lower in three of his last four seasons. This aligns perfectly with Rodgers’ late-career playstyle, finishing second-to-last in the NFL in aDOT in 2025 (with a minimum of 100 dropbacks).

While he’s not the most exciting click on the board, Pittman has posted a top-20 wide receiver finish in PPR formats in four of the last five years. He’s also highly durable, missing only three games in those five years. If you’re looking for a set-it-and-forget-it pick after round eight, Pittman is your best bet.

Wan’Dale Robinson (WR – TEN) | Real Time ADP: 104.3 (WR45)

I’ve written about Wan’Dale Robinson a few times this offseason, but it’s only because he’s criminally undervalued in all fantasy formats and deserves his flowers. Believe it or not, Robinson has now posted back-to-back 140-target seasons, with his most recent one resulting in a WR14 PPR finish.

Like Michael Pittman Jr., Robinson finds himself on a new team for the 2026 season, landing with the Tennessee Titans. While there are questions about how competitive this offense will be and how many points they’ll score, one thing is almost certain: They’ll be playing from behind quite a bit.

ESPN’s Mike Clay has the Titans’ projected win total at 4.8 for the 2026 season. This should mean plenty of negative game scripts, resulting in plenty of potential targets for Robinson. I expect him to be Cam Ward‘s top option early in the season, with Carnell Tate eventually taking those honors, though I see them having comparable numbers. With Robinson also taking on more of a downfield role in 2025, I feel confident in saying he doesn’t need eight or more receptions a game to hit in fantasy anymore.

Everything you need to win your league—rankings, sleepers, projections, and more—is in the Draft Kit.

Stefon Diggs (WR – WSH) | Real-Time ADP: 107.5 (WR47)

Stefon Diggs made headlines this offseason by signing with Washington, pushing my sweet prince, Antonio Williams, into the “undraftable” range in redraft leagues. Diggs should immediately slot in as the No. 2 WR behind Terry McLaurin, making him a safe every-week starter in 2026. Even at age 32, Diggs has enough left in the tank to give us one more year of usable fantasy production.

Everyone assumed Diggs was dust in 2025, yet he came out and put up another 1,000-yard receiving season, finishing as the WR17 in PPR formats. I think we can expect a similar stat line in 2026 to the one he saw in New England, but hopefully with a bit more touchdown luck. If he can post double-digit PPR points per game (a pretty low bar for Diggs), he should be in line to crush his ADP and finish as a top-36 wide receiver in fantasy.

Rachaad White (RB – WSH) | Real-Time ADP: 112.9 (RB41)

You’re not drafting Rachaad White for his rushing ability; he’s historically been one of the least efficient rushers in the league through four NFL seasons. However, I think the receiving upside with White gives him a legitimate fantasy floor, and that floor will be even higher if he can carve out a good percentage of the early-down work in Washington.

With Jacory Croskey-Merritt listed as the No. 1 RB on Washington’s depth chart, White is being overlooked in PPR formats. It’s worth noting that Croskey-Merritt is a virtual “zero” in the receiving game, managing only nine receptions across 17 games last season. He was rarely used as a receiver in college, with 34 career receptions over six years, and never surpassed 12 receptions in a single season.

White has boasted 40+ receptions in each of his four NFL seasons and has a respectable 1.11 career yards per route run. If we can get 6-8 rush attempts per game and 4-5 targets per game out of White in 2026 (which feels completely reasonable), he could be a player you can feel comfortable putting in your FLEX every week.
