The 2026 NFL preseason is underway, meaning we’ve officially hit the start of redraft fantasy football season. Therefore, it’s time to do all the preparation fantasy players ignored over the past few months. 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 RTSports
Let’s look at six of my favorite draft values based on RTSports ADP for redraft leagues.
Brock Purdy (SF) – ADP 125.67 | QB16
While drafting Purdy comes with some injury risk, especially after missing eight games last season with turf toe, the former Iowa State star is a massive steal at his current ADP. He was the QB6 on a points-per-game basis in 2025, averaging 2.2 passing touchdowns and 19.7 fantasy points per contest, posting a higher fantasy average than Jalen Hurts (18.7) and Dak Prescott (18.5). Furthermore, the veteran was on fire during the fantasy playoffs, averaging 3.7 passing touchdowns and 31.3 fantasy points per game from Week 15 through Week 17.
D’Andre Swift (CHI) – ADP 49.91 | RB24
Some will claim that Kyle Monangai will replace Swift as the Bears’ starting running back this season. However, there is nothing to suggest that will happen. Last year, Swift was the RB15, averaging 14.3 PPR fantasy points per game, a higher average than Bucky Irving (13.8) and Kenneth Walker III (11.3). More importantly, he averaged more rushing attempts (13.9 vs. 9.9) and yards per game (67.9 vs. 46.1) than Monangai last year. Furthermore, Swift had a higher fantasy points per touch average (0.89 vs. 0.79) than the former seventh-round pick.
Jadarian Price (SEA) – ADP 51.18 | RB26
Seattle lost Kenneth Walker III in free agency, while Zach Charbonnet is coming off a torn ACL and likely won’t be ready to play until the midway point of the season. Therefore, Price has a chance to be a massive steal at his current ADP, especially given his play at the start of training camp. Last year, the Seahawks had a run-first offense, ranking third in rushing attempts, averaging 25.8 per game from their running backs. Price could have a massive second-half breakout and push for a top-12 finish.
Rashee Rice (KC) – ADP 32.81 | WR13
Unfortunately, Rice has been in the news for all the wrong reasons this offseason. He served a 30-day sentence for violating his probation. Furthermore, the superstar was rehabbing following a clean-up procedure on his knee. Reportedly, Rice won’t be suspended and should be 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, averaging 18.8 PPR fantasy points per game, scoring over 23.1 in half the contests.
DeVonta Smith (PHI) – ADP 38.53 | WR16
The worst-kept secret in the NFL was the A.J. Brown trade, allowing Smith to take over as the Eagles’ No. 1 wide receiver with Brown in New England. Last season, he finished as the WR20, averaging 11.9 PPR fantasy points per game. However, Smith was outstanding when seeing enough volume, averaging 19.3 fantasy points per game in the seven contests where he had seven or more targets, scoring 20 or more in nearly a third of those outings. Smith will have a career year and a top-12 finish in 2026.
George Kittle (SF) – ADP 111.24 | TE11
Kittle missed six games last season because of injury. More importantly, the superstar tight end suffered a torn Achilles during the playoffs. Yet, he is reportedly on track to play in Week 1 or Week 2 if the 49ers hold him out of the Australia game. Last year, Kittle was the TE2 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 14.7 PPR fantasy points per contest. Unfortunately, the 49ers are already dealing with injuries at the wide receiver position, which could lead to Kittle being the team’s top targeted player this season.
