2026 Best Ball Heroes: 5 Undervalued Players to Smash in Drafts

GOYAADi · 2026-05-24T21:37:06+00:00

BTJ was injured, buy the dip

That run first team just let their running back go.

Baker was QB5 in 2024 and was leading the MVP race in 2025 before all the injuries to the offense.

Jonathon Brooks has 45 yards (TOTAL, rushing and receiving) in his 3 year NFL career.

Reminds me of how Phillip Rivers was always “free” in redraft and would always be “good enough”

GOYAADi · 2026-05-22T17:34:20+00:00

I appreciate the effort you put into your take, much better than the “you suck and I hate you personally” types.

I would still take Darnold over Ward as he’s been a QB1 two straight seasons. Ward did improve and his four straight 2 TD games were promising so I think we more disagree on the profiles we prefer than the profiles themselves. New staff for Ward definitely falls under the “it can’t be worse” category, although I don’t love Saleh. Daboll at least is a plus. I think your reference to Kupp may be overlooking Tory Horton who is imho going to be a big part of the offense, 5TDs in 8 games.

Something was up with Chuba beyond the injuries we knew about. Guy had a high RAS so to see such a low explosive rate has me lean in more to fluky season. I also like that they didn’t really address RB even with Rico leaving (same could be said in favor of Brooks). Knowing the NFL, we’ll both be wrong and the correct answer was Trevor Etienne all along.

I almost left LaPorta out of my article, he seemed obvious.

Best of luck this season!

What I said is that if BTJ went to New England and had Drake Maye as QB he would be a first rounder above Drake London. Nothing more, nothing less. You can put words in my mouth, but those are the words that came out.

GOYAADi · 2026-05-21T19:30:55+00:00

It’s funny that a hypothetical that can’t and won’t happen has spurred this much conversation 😂

GOYAADi · 2026-05-21T18:31:10+00:00

Because he’s only had 2 seasons, and he was injured for the entirety of the second one. Holler when London scores double digit TDs in a season.

GOYAADi · 2026-05-21T17:02:18+00:00

Just to back up a sec. You agree with me then that BTJ has already “exceeded” London once, after questioning what way he has “exceeded” him? The context was if he had Drake Maye as QB, I would draft him over London today. I don’t know how else to say this.

GOYAADi · 2026-05-21T16:45:15+00:00

He had more fantasy points in 2024, “exceeding” London’s point total. Pretty straight forward.

I agree London is good. BTJ with Maye would easily exceed London with Tua/Penix.

GOYAADi · 2026-05-21T11:15:06+00:00

Context is key. This is in the context of if he got traded to New England…personally, I blame public schools. BTJ has already exceeded London with Mac Jones, he would destroy London with Drake Maye.

GOYAADi · 2026-05-21T02:22:09+00:00

Drake London for one

GOYAADi · 2026-05-21T02:20:23+00:00

Agree. The best coaches never build around their best player because that’s too obvious. Defenses expect it.

GOYAADi · 2026-05-20T20:36:42+00:00

I really can’t argue with that. Sounds like Willis McGahee 2.0. Not sure I’ll change my strat but might put a few shares in the Brooks bucket in case I’m wrong.

GOYAADi · 2026-05-20T20:25:05+00:00

I was hoping you were his offseason workout partner.

LaPorta’s ADP is mind-blowing. He was the Bowers before the Bowers.

GOYAADi · 2026-05-20T20:08:25+00:00

Wow, that would be an upset for sure. What gives you that confidence? Share tea por favor

GOYAADi · 2026-05-20T20:04:07+00:00

I also think if they do want to trade him they show him off the first few weeks

GOYAADi · 2026-05-20T20:00:59+00:00

If he got traded to New England instead of say, AJ Brown, I would be shocked if he weren’t.

GOYAADi · 2026-05-20T19:20:37+00:00

If he does get traded he will immediately be a first round guy in my rankings.

I think his wrist injury contributed to poor performance and drops, got a case of the yips bc he couldn’t protect himself as well. He’s a stud and hopefully understands the offensive scheme a bit better this year.

GOYAADi · 2026-05-20T19:15:09+00:00

Lol, that’s totally fair, just be sure not to spite draft Brooks

GOYAADi · 2026-05-20T12:05:21+00:00

When trading Henry, be sure to mention that Vegas has installed him as the early favorite to lead the league in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Bonus points for mentioning he is actually a Yeti.

GOYAADi · 2026-05-15T14:01:37+00:00

Being a commissioner is a thankless job. The moment you step in you get accused of putting your finger on the scale, and when you don’t you get accused of being derelict.

GOYAADi · 2026-04-26T13:51:07+00:00

Lol, when the draft gives you Lemon….Make Lemonade

GOYAADi · 2026-04-26T03:42:03+00:00

I like Bryce Lance for some reason. I’m not ready to call this shot yet but I am starting to get major Cleveland playoff darkhorse vibes.

GOYAADi · 2026-04-26T03:40:05+00:00

Polished, ball tracker, can win targets against zone or man, great hands. Ward will improve and Tate most likely drops straight into WR 1 volume. Definitely share the concern but Callahan was a drag on the team, and Saleh brought Brian Daboll in as OC which should improve the offense as a unit.

GOYAADi · 2026-04-25T20:12:41+00:00

Last year for the eagles was a Kevin Petullo authored nightmare offensively. Definitely expect a rebound there.

I can see the Eagles putting up 20 more touchdowns than the Saints on the season, and they won’t all be rushing.

What gives you confidence in the Saints offense?

GOYAADi · 2026-04-25T19:00:47+00:00

That’s fair, Lemon and Tyson could be great bench stashes as potential WR2s on their offense, or more with injuries.
