Key Fantasy Football Draft Values for 2026 Season
The 2026 NFL preseason has commenced, marking the beginning of the redraft fantasy football season. Fantasy players are now focusing on preparations that may have been overlooked in recent months, with player value being a crucial factor in winning leagues.
Among the notable draft values is Maye, who nearly secured the NFL MVP title in his second season, finishing as the QB2 with an average of 20.7 fantasy points per game. His performance included 31 passing touchdowns, ranking third in the league, and with the addition of A.J. Brown to the Patriots, his draft position appears undervalued compared to Lamar Jackson.
Brown has emerged as a fantasy standout after a subdued rookie season, finishing as the RB10 in 2024 and RB7 last year, with a total of 11 touchdowns over two seasons. Judkins, who became an RB2 after a strong debut, is expected to excel this year following improvements to the Browns' offensive line. Conversely, Rice's offseason troubles have raised concerns, but he averaged 18.8 PPR fantasy points per game when healthy last season.
Moore is set to benefit from playing with Josh Allen, having consistently averaged over 14 PPR fantasy points per game throughout his career. Lastly, Dulcich is being considered a sleeper tight end for the Dolphins, who are lacking in proven pass catchers after significant roster changes. His performance last season showed promise when given adequate targets.
