Hey!
Based on the information we have right now, I would bet my house on these 5 players this fantasy season.
Each one has a real reason to outperform their current ADP, whether it’s a quarterback upgrade, a cleaner depth chart, or a season that got wrecked by injury last year.
If you are not targeting these guys, someone else in your league will be:
#1 Justin Jefferson
He just had the worst season of his career and thats exactly why I am buying him.
Jefferson finished WR37 at 9.4 fantasy points per game, and from Weeks 10–17 he averaged just 5.5 fantasy points with 0 touchdowns.
The Vikings quarterback play was a disaster in 2025, but Jefferson still has a long history of producing no matter who is throwing him the ball.
Now he gets a major quarterback upgrade in Kyler Murray, and his career baselines still screams elite volume and elite efficiency.
Jefferson is still a strong pick at the end of Round 1 in drafts…
#2 Brock Bowers
Bowers is sliding toward the 3rd round in early fantasy draft. This is a mistake.
As a rookie, he put up 112 catches for 1194 yards and finished as a Top 2 tight end.
And even with injuries in 2025 he still averaged 12 fantasy points per game over 12 games with 7 touchdowns.
The Raiders have completely changed their situation with two new QBs, a new coach and Bowers has a clear path to being the top target in the offense again.
The receiver room doesn’t have a true alpha that can threaten his target share, and the coaching direction points toward a more functional scoring offense…
#3 Garrett Wilson
Wilson was producing like a top-five fantasy wide receiver early last season in one of the worst passing situations in football.
Through Weeks 1-5 he averaged 15.7 fantasy points per game with 9.6 targets, a 34.3% target share but then his season got derailed by injury.
This offseason the Jets immediately raised their passing game ceiling by upgrading the quarterback situation to Geno Smith. This is the best QB of Wilson’s career.
Wilson is still the clear No. 1 option on the roster. He’s already proved he can command elite volume, and now he has a QB who can actually keep drives alive.
Wilson in Round 4 is a great value right now…

#4 Emeka Egbuka
Egbuka’s rookie year looks mediocre if you only check the final numbers, but the first half showed exactly what the ceiling can be.
He averaged 14.1 fantasy points per game through the first 10 weeks with 8.4 targets per game, a 25% target share, and 6 touchdowns.
But then everything collapsed when both he and Baker Mayfield got banged up.
The biggest change entering 2026 is Mike Evans being gone, and that is a massive amount of high-leverage volume leaving the offense.
Evans averaged nearly 8 targets per game in 2025, and Egbuka is the most logical player to absorb a big chunk of that workload.
With a healthy quarterback, a new play-caller, and a wide open path to lead the team in targets, Egbuka is one of the cleanest “Year 2 jump” bets in 2026 drafts.
#5 Kenneth Walker
Walker just reminded everyone what happens when a team actually lets him be the guy.
Seattle managed his workload all season, but in the playoffs he exploded, including a Super Bowl line of 27 carries for 135 yards and an MVP performance.
Now he lands on the Chiefs with a backfield that is wide open. The veterans are gone, the current competition is thin, and Kansas City has been missing an explosive workhorse element for years.
If Walker is being drafted in the middle of Round 2, that’s a strong value. You are getting for a high-end RB1 profile in the best possible scoring environment.
