We Plant Our Flags on These 9 Must-Draft Fantasy Football Players! (Ep. 2121) Aug 09, 2026

Show notes

Who are the players you just keep finding yourself drafting in 2026 fantasy football? The Fantasy Pros crew is planting their flags on nine players they simply don't want to miss out on, even if it means taking them earlier than their current ADP.

Alfredo Brown, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Derek Brown go round by round through their favorite targets, starting with Zay Flowers, Javonte Williams, and DeVonta Smith in the early rounds. Then they get into some of their favorite middle-round swings, including Jameson Williams, Christian Watson, and Josh Downs.

And when it comes to the later rounds, there are plenty of upside bets to consider. Kyler Murray, Stefon Diggs, and Tyler Shough all make the list, with the guys explaining why they think each player could significantly outperform where they're currently being drafted.

If you're getting ready for your 2026 fantasy football drafts, these are the players the guys keep finding themselves clicking on — and the ones they don't want to leave the draft without.

8 Players Fantasy Football Projections LOVE | Draft Values for 2026 (Ep. 2116) Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

Fantasy football projections can uncover league-winning value—but they can also expose players being overvalued in drafts. In today's episode, Tera Roberts, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Jake Ciely break down eight players whose FantasyPros projections are significantly higher than their current Half-PPR ADP, helping you identify the biggest values before your 2026 fantasy football draft.

The crew debates whether Josh Jacobs is still an RB1 despite injury concerns, why Emeka Egbuka could be one of the best wide receiver values in fantasy football, and whether Rashee Rice's lofty projection is too optimistic. They also dive into Ashton Jeanty's polarizing RB1 outlook, Rome Odunze's role in Chicago, Harold Fannin Jr.'s breakout potential, Tyler Shough's fantasy ceiling, and why Quentin Johnston could surprise in Mike McDaniel's new Chargers offense.

If you're preparing for redraft, best ball, or home leagues, this episode will help you identify players whose projections suggest they're being drafted too late.
