Field's favorites: The nine players who should go earlier than their ADPs
ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- Justin Herbert is ranked as the sixth-best fantasy quarterback due to confidence in his skills and new playcaller Mike McDaniel, who helped Tua Tagovailoa excel last season.
- Colston Loveland emerged as a key target for the Chicago Bears late last season and is ranked as the third-best tight end, valued higher than his current ESPN average draft position.
- Derrick Henry remains a top fantasy running back with consistent high rushing yardage and scoring, ranked 11th overall and expected to outperform his average draft position.
- Kenneth Walker III is a key addition to the Kansas City Chiefs' running game, ranked 15th overall and expected to boost the offense alongside Patrick Mahomes.
- Justin Jefferson is seen as a strong late first-round pick, expected to rebound from a down 2025 season with a new quarterback and improved team dynamics.
