Derek Brown from FantasyPros joins the show to talk 6 Must-Draft Fantasy Football Players for 2026! Breakdown of 3 of the Players Discussed: Jaylen Waddle Jaylen Waddle, one of the biggest fantasy movers this offseason, goes from a Miami Dolphins offense ranking 29th in neutral passing rate to a Denver Broncos team that was fourth in that same metric last season. If you’re wondering whether or not Waddle’s still got it, last season among 109 qualified wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data) he ranked: 12th in target per route run rate 12th in yards per route run 7th in first downs per route run 12th in separation score 11th in route win rate He is a smash pick right now currently priced as the WR24 in Redraft and WR27 in Dynasty. Mike Evans Let’s talk about Fantasy Football’s favorite Unc! The argument here is pretty simple, and it comes with a big if. If Mike Evans stays healthy, he is absolutely obliterating this ADP. Evans is 32 years old, lost much of last year to injury, but as most people know he put together 11 straight 1000 yard seasons prior to that. He has the opportunity to be the number one receiving option in San Francisco with Kittle slowly returning from his injury in the playoffs and Jauan Jennings, last year’s leading WR, now in Minnesota vacating 90 targets and 19 red zone targets. In his career, Evans has 5 WR1 finishes and ALL Top-24 finishes outside of last season’s injury riddled year. There is a real path for a 2025 Davante Adams-esque season for the newest 49er being priced as the WR27 in Redraft and WR52 in Dynasty. Malik Willis I get it, the Dolphins offense feels gross to buy into. But sometimes you gotta plug your nose and recognize when there’s value staring you right in the face. If you miss out on the elite QBs, we love to punt QB until the end of the draft unless someone unexpectedly drops well below ADP, and when we do that we target mobile QBs aggressively late. History has proven that mobility is the easiest path to fantasy success as just last season 8 of the top 12 QBs in PPG averaged at least 20 rushing yards per game. In a small sample size last season, Malik Willis boasted the highest scramble rate in the NFL. In his one, Willis had 90 rushing yards and two rushing TDs. If you look at the prior week when Jordan Love exited the game early, Willis came in and ran for 44 yards. Obviously there’s better options than going after the Miami Dolphins starting QB, but there certainly aren’t 20 QBs with better upside than Malik Willis being valued as the QB21 in Redraft and QB26 in Dynasty.
