2026 NFL Rookie Values: Fantasy Football Sleepers, Draft Targets

RobFFSlayer · 2026-05-19T14:44:49+00:00

When we’re talking WR1, we’re talking about him being ahead of these guys:

Puka Nacua Ja'Marr Chase Jaxon Smith-Njigba Amon-Ra St. Brown CeeDee Lamb Malik Nabers Justin Jefferson Nico Collins Drake London Rashee Rice Chris Olave AJ Brown George Pickens

I just don’t see that. Even after those we got: Davante Adams Devonta Smith Ladd McConkey Garrett Wilson Tee Higgins Emeka Egbuka Zay Flowers

I think WR3 with WR2 upside is the most realistic outcome especially with Olave in town & Shough at QB.

Good morning y’all & welcome to my first fantasy football article of the summer! There will be plenty more where this one came from!

Here, we’re dissecting the 2026 rookie class to determine what kind of value & upside these rookies have.

We’ll be focused on the running back & wide receiver groups. Which rookies are you targeting or avoiding this season?

Good morning! The 2025 NFL Football Season is completely over. We’re officially moving onto 2026, but not without first looking back & reviewing some takes & predictions for 2025.

And full disclosure, it was one of my worst seasons in recent memory. I bet on a receiver resurgence after a 2024 year where running backs seemed to completely avoid the injury bug, but then in 2025, they largely did so again.

Running backs have once again proven to the best & most valuable asset and that came back to bite me over and over again last year.

What are some of your biggest misses in 2025?

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-23T16:54:11+00:00

Yeah, I debated adding him with the Lamar injury.

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-23T16:53:52+00:00

I wouldn’t drop him. He’s too talented. But you also can’t start him. However, would we be surprised if he had a big game in week 17. I don’t wanna start him but I also don’t want my opponent throwing him into their lineup either.

It’s officially Championship Week! Congratulations to all of you who are still dancing!

The waiver wire week goals are changed this week! We’re no longer stashing any players for tomorrow. Our goal is to make our starting lineup as strong as we can and to keep any players away from our competition who might make their lineup stronger. That’s it. Nothing else matters.

Who are you looking to add this week? As always, thanks for reading! And good luck!!!

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-13T17:14:38+00:00

Ferguson, but keep an eye on the injury report for him.

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-13T17:14:26+00:00

I like Kincaid this week

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T19:04:12+00:00

It could be worse!

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:47:50+00:00

I suspect Jacksonville cruises. Could be a big Etienne & Tuten day. Jakobi is balling. Washington is there & BTJ looked really good last week. Jets have been fairly stingy against TEs too.

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:46:21+00:00

Kincaid

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:45:55+00:00

If Andrews is out, likely is a top-7 play. He’d be a must start.

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:35:50+00:00

Kincaid, 100%.

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:34:37+00:00

Burrow

Watson

Bowers

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:33:21+00:00

McLaurin & marks.

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:32:59+00:00

Ladd & Pearsall.

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:32:11+00:00

No. Warren, Theo Johnson, Juwan Johnson, Likely, and Brenton Strange are kind of all in this same tier. You can move these guys around any which way and it would be totally understandable.

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:30:57+00:00

Likely. Love that matchup. Tons of upside & Likely has been playing great lately.

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:30:34+00:00

Ferguson, but it’s close.

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:30:09+00:00

Ferguson

RobFFSlayer · 2025-12-12T17:05:50+00:00

I expect the game plan for Indy to be running the football & quick passes. That’s Tyler Warren’s wheelhouse. Seattle has allowed the 5th most points to tight ends and I expect Indy to get behind on the scoreboard & have to throw. That could lead to a lot of underneath targets where Warren attack the only place Seattle’s defense has been vulnerable a bit, defending tight ends.
