Most fantasy managers have a solid grasp on the first round. After that, however, your strategy depends on whether you're targeting quarterbacks or tight ends early, and your ability to identify value becomes increasingly important.

Not sure who stands out beyond Round 1? I examined the latest 2026 fantasy football ADP data from FantasyPros to identify some of the biggest values on the board. To cast a wide net, I looked at the first 10 rounds and highlighted my favorite value in each.

Note: To keep the data consistent, I used ADP results from default rosters, full-PPR scoring, and 12-team leagues via FantasyPros.

Round 1: Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Detroit Lions (ADP: 1.07)

Where you draft in Round 1 will influence what you consider the best value, but regardless of draft slot, Amon-Ra St. Brown stands out as one of the safest and most appealing selections on the board.

Why? Because he's been more consistently elite than anyone else in his draft range.

In full-PPR leagues, Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Bijan Robinson are typically gone within the first five picks. That leaves fantasy managers deciding who deserves to be next, and St. Brown may very well be the right answer despite often lasting until pick 1.07 or later.

All he's done is finish as the WR3 in each of the last three seasons while posting four consecutive top-10 finishes. I'm not entirely sure why CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson routinely go ahead of him, but St. Brown continues to produce at an elite level. At just 26 years old, there's little reason to expect that to change in 2026.

Round 2: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Las Vegas Raiders (ADP: 2.04)

Ashton Jeanty is a screaming value early in Round 2 in 2026 fantasy football leagues.

You may still need to take him late in Round 1 to guarantee you get him, but if you're drafting near the top of the second, there's a chance he slips.

That shouldn't happen often. Jeanty finished as the RB11 as a rookie despite operating in a less-than-ideal offensive environment. Entering Year 2, several of those obstacles have been removed.

New head coach Klint Kubiak is expected to install a more fantasy-friendly offense that could help unlock Jeanty's enormous ceiling. Even if you project him solely based on last year's production, his current ADP looks favorable. Once you factor in expected growth and an improved situation, he becomes one of the most attractive values in fantasy drafts.

Round 3: Saquon Barkley, RB, Philadelphia Eagles (ADP: 3.03)

As much as I like Jeanty's ADP, I may like Saquon Barkley's even more.

He'll turn 30 this season and is coming off what qualifies as a down year by his standards after finishing as the RB14. Still, some regression was inevitable following his massive 400-touch campaign the year before.

The encouraging part is what Barkley isn't carrying into 2026.

He won't be coming off another lengthy playoff run, and he didn't approach 400 touches again. Instead, he'll have a chance to recover and rebound. Meanwhile, the departure of A.J. Brown could push Philadelphia toward leaning even more heavily on its best offensive weapon.

The arrival of offensive coordinator Sean Mannion is another positive development. If Mannion helps elevate the Eagles offense, Barkley could once again challenge for elite fantasy production.

He's not a lock to bounce back, but the ingredients are there. Given that he recently finished as the RB2 overall, the upside remains massive relative to his current cost.

Round 4: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (ADP: 4.09)

Emeka Egbuka is one of those players who feels appropriately priced and undervalued at the same time. That sounds contradictory, but there's a compelling case for it.

Egbuka enters 2026 with a legitimate opportunity to become Tampa Bay's alpha receiver. The concern is that his disappointing second half last season has cooled enthusiasm.

Some of that decline was beyond his control. Injuries to both Egbuka (hamstring) and Baker Mayfield (shoulder) played a role, as did the natural rookie wall and the return of a healthy Mike Evans.

Before those factors emerged, Egbuka was on fire. Over his first five games, he produced WR5-level numbers and looked like one of the league's breakout stars.

He was unable to maintain that pace, but the path to a major Year 2 leap remains intact. With Evans gone, someone needs to emerge as Mayfield's top target.

The risk is already reflected in his ADP. Egbuka finished as a top-25 wide receiver as a rookie and now has a realistic path to top-10 production while being drafted as the WR22.

Round 5: Bucky Irving, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (ADP: 5.05)

There are legitimate concerns surrounding Bucky Irving's value entering 2026.

He battled injuries throughout his second season and is still dealing with a lingering shoulder issue.

Even more concerning, head coach Todd Bowles recently suggested Irving could return sometime during the summer "or fall."

That's obviously not what fantasy managers want to hear. Still, a healthy Irving could easily outperform this ADP.

He's not built like a workhorse, but his efficiency and versatility make him worth considering at a discount. Two seasons ago, he finished as the RB13. Last year, he still managed RB18 production on a points-per-game basis despite missing seven games.

There's real risk here, but there's also a path to an RB1 season. At an ADP that values him closer to a mid-range RB2, that's exactly the type of upside worth targeting.

Round 6: Tucker Kraft, TE, Green Bay Packers (ADP: 6.10)

Like Irving, Tucker Kraft comes with some uncertainty. You don't want every pick on your roster to carry significant risk, but taking a calculated shot on one or two players like this can pay off.

Kraft is particularly appealing if you've waited on tight end and missed out on Brock Bowers or Trey McBride. Being drafted as the TE5 and sometimes slipping toward Round 7, Kraft offers an intriguing blend of upside and discount.

The torn ACL is obviously concerning, but it's worth remembering that Kraft finished tied for second among tight ends in fantasy points per game before suffering the injury.

There's no guarantee he returns to that level immediately, but if he makes a full recovery, he'll have a strong chance to become one of the best values at the position.

Round 7: Jaxson Dart, QB, New York Giants (ADP: 7.08)

Have we seen a player’s value plummet simply due to political affiliation? I think we’re about to. Jaxson Dart's ADP appears to be sliding, and if that trend continues, fantasy managers should take notice.

Even if his cost settles closer to Round 6, he still profiles as one of the better quarterback values on the board.

There are fair questions about Dart's development as a passer, but his rushing ability provides a valuable fantasy floor. He also enters Year 2 with a talented supporting cast and a new head coach in John Harbaugh, who should build an offense that takes advantage of Dart's mobility.

Dart finished as the QB8 in fantasy points per game as a full-time starter last season, despite dealing with injuries and operating with less-than-ideal support around him.

If New York's key playmakers stay healthy and Dart continues to develop, a top-10 fantasy finish is well within reach.

Round 8: Parker Washington, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (ADP: 8.04)

The Jacksonville Jaguars are a headache nobody can sort out. Heck, most don’t even want to try. Admittedly, I’m among that group, but the way I look at the Jags is simple; Brian Thomas Jr. possesses the highest ceiling of everyone in this wide receiver room, but Parker Washington may offer the best floor.

Thomas is typically drafted three rounds earlier, while Washington is available in Round 8 despite some believing he's the more complete receiver.

The sample size remains small, but it's hard to ignore what Washington did late last season. Over his final three games, he saw at least nine targets and scored 19-plus fantasy points in each contest. During that stretch, he was the WR4 overall.

Again, it's a limited sample. But his role didn't disappear in the postseason, and he flashed throughout the year, posting double-digit fantasy points in five other games.

Is Washington set up to be the next Sun God? Nobody knows, but in round eight, I’m more than okay with taking a stab at that possibility.

Round 9: Sam LaPorta, TE, Detroit Lions (ADP: 9.08)

If you're waiting on tight end this season, Round 9 is an excellent place to start looking. Assuming you didn't grab Kraft earlier, Sam LaPorta stands out as one of the best values available.

LaPorta is recovering from an injury, but his fantasy track record speaks for itself. He finished as the TE8 before getting hurt last season, was TE8 the year before that, and finished as the overall TE1 during his rookie campaign.

Detroit has plenty of mouths to feed, but LaPorta remains a key part of the offense.

His current TE8 price tag aligns with his floor, while his rookie-season production reminds us of his ceiling. If positive touchdown regression shows up, he could once again challenge for the top spot at the position.

In the worst-case scenario, you're getting a reliable top-10 tight end. In the best case, you're landing a player capable of finishing as the overall TE1.

Round 10: Xavier Worthy, WR, Kansas City Chiefs (ADP: 10.06)

We'll finish this early-June ADP breakdown with Xavier Worthy, a player fantasy managers continue to undervalue. I can understand why, as he didn’t really light the world afire as a rookie (WR33) and then hit a major wall in Year 2.

A lot of his 2025 issues had to do with injury. It seemed as if Worthy was poised for a massive campaign initially, but he lasted just a handful of snaps before a shoulder injury robbed him of two games.

Before that injury, however, he looked poised for a breakout. A shoulder issue sidelined him early and appeared to affect him long after he returned. Andy Reid later acknowledged that Worthy's health impacted how the Chiefs utilized him. If that's true, a healthy 2026 campaign could lead to a larger role and a more diverse route tree.

There's also uncertainty surrounding Rashee Rice, who remains a significant variable in Kansas City's offense. Any missed time or reduced effectiveness from Rice could create even more opportunity for Worthy.

The path to a top-25 fantasy season is there. Yet Worthy is currently being drafted as the WR52. That's a massive gap between cost and ceiling, making him one of the most intriguing ADP values in fantasy football.

Final Thoughts

That wraps up my look at early-June fantasy football ADP values.

A lot can change between now and draft season. Injuries, OTA reports, trades, coachspeak, and preseason developments can all shift average draft position significantly.

Stay flexible, monitor the market, and be prepared to adjust as new information becomes available. That's often where the biggest draft values are found.
