- Chase Brown unlocks supreme efficiency alongside a healthy Joe Burrow: Operating against light defensive fronts in a loaded Cincinnati passing attack, Brown paced the position at a premier 22.3 PPR points per game down the stretch when Burrow was fully healthy.
- DeVonta Smith is the new top target: The Philadelphia Eagles traded A.J. Brown this offseason, and now Smith will be able to line up where he plays his best football more frequently.
- Tucker Kraft could emerge as the Green Bay Packers’ top target: Although Kraft is recovering from an ACL tear, the departures of Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks should lead to an increased target share in Green Bay once he returns.
Finding value is about more than identifying talented players. It requires identifying situations where talent, opportunity and cost align. These three players check all three boxes and have the potential to dramatically outperform their current ADPs in 2026.
RB Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals
Brown ranked 10th among running backs in fantasy points per game in 2024, and he ranked seventh in fantasy points per game in 2025. There is little reason to expect a significant change in 2026.
He benefits from playing in a high-scoring offense where defenses are primarily focused on containing Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Brown ranked seventh among running backs in carries against light boxes while seeing far fewer opportunities against stacked fronts, making his job consistently easier on the ground.
