Top 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 their preparations after a few months of inactivity.

Among the top draft values identified are several players based on their average draft position (ADP). Brock Purdy, despite injury concerns, is seen as a valuable pick after ranking as QB6 in 2025 with an average of 19.7 fantasy points per game. DeAndre Swift, who finished as RB15 last season, is expected to maintain his role despite speculation about a potential replacement. Additionally, with Seattle's Kenneth Walker III gone and Zach Charbonnet recovering from an injury, Zach Charbonnet is positioned for a breakout season.

Other notable mentions include Rice, who faced legal issues but is expected to play in Week 1, and DeVonta Smith, who is anticipated to excel as the Eagles' top receiver following A.J. Brown's trade. George Kittle, recovering from injuries, is also projected to be a key player for the 49ers this season.
