Winning your fantasy football league starts with finding good value in the draft. Sometimes, the value is an overlooked player who you think will outperform his ranking. Other times, it’s avoiding the price tag on a guy who you believe will underperform.

This week, our Featured Pros took a look at the current FantasyPros consensus half-PPR rankings and identified 10 players who are going too low.

Undervalued Players by Half-PPR ECR

Aaron Jones (RB – GB)

“It’s time we put some respect on Aaron Jones’s name, considering he has those four straight Top-12 fantasy seasons he has strung together. How’s he been able to do it? How about a 5.5 yards-per-carry average? How about averaging 2.2 yards after contact? Of course, we can’t forget that 20% or more of his opportunities have come from targets in each of the last 4 seasons. With speed on the outside in Christian Watson and Jayden Reed (both sub-4.40) and Jordan Love‘s ability to push the ball down the field (9.3 y/pa) last season, everything will open up for Jones here in 2023. People will toss out names like Rachaad White, J.K. Dobbins, Miles Sanders, and possibly Cam Akers, but none of them have had the success that Jones has had on a consistent basis. How is a running back who has been an RB1 for four straight seasons not in the consensus Top-12? I have Jones at RB8. That’s one spot ahead of Saquan Barkley. ”
– Matt Donnelly (Dynasty Vipers)

“Over the last four seasons, Aaron Jones has not only been nominated for the Walter Peyton Man of the Year, but only four backs have scored more fantasy points than he has. Despite only scoring two rushing touchdowns in 2022, he maintained his streak of four consecutive RB1 season finishes. He should find his way to the pay dirt more frequently in 2023, as he is now the leader of this offense, being the only starting offensive skill player over 25 years old. This team is primed to lean on their defense and game-manage their way to wins, which means Aaron Jones will see consistent usage every week. He is ECR’s RB16. However, I have him continuing his RB1 streak as my RB9 on the season.”
– Ellis Johnson (True North Fantasy Football)

Jamaal Williams (RB – NO)

“Jamaal Williams as the RB37 is being seriously undersold. He signed a three-year deal ($8 million guaranteed) this offseason, with the likelihood that Alvin Kamara misses time due to a pending suspension. Williams is going to have a role on the schedule at some point during the 2023 season, which also happens to be the easiest strength of schedule based on forecasted win totals in the betting markets. These factors aren’t baked into his current ECR ranking. I have him ranked as the RB30, with the idea that he will have a stretch of games as the Saints RB1 (specifically during the start of the year). But I also think the RB37 rank fails to consider Williams will still have some value alongside a healthy/active Kamara.”

Isiah Pacheco (RB – KC)

“RB Isiah Pacheco (My rank RB 6 Expert Consensus Rank RB 27) Pacheco has size (216 lbs.) and can fly (4.37 forty time). He plays for arguably the most explosive offense in the league. He also played most of last season with a torn labrum and still played well. In 2023, he’ll be the starter and knows the playbook inside and out. If he siphons off even a little of Jerick McKinnon‘s workload from last year (which I expect him to do), he’ll be a top-ten RB, imo.”
– Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts)

Cam Akers (RB – LAR)

“With a clear path to a workhorse rule, Cam Akers should have an ECR higher than RB21. Rankers and fantasy managers are no doubt concerned about Akers’ yo-yo usage in 2022. What matters is that the Rams rode him hard down the stretch. Over the last six weeks of the season, Akers averaged 17.3 carries a game and had a snap share north of 70% in all but one of those contests. He led the NFL in rushing and ranked RB4 in half-point PPR scoring over that six-week stretch. Akers closed the season with three consecutive 100-yard rushing games. The Rams’ other RBs are rookie Zach Evans, a late-sixth-round draft pick; slow, small Kyren Williams; and the thoroughly washed Sony Michel. I have Akers ranked RB14 and have been grabbing him in the sixth round of best-ball drafts after loading my shopping cart with WRs.”

Joe Mixon (RB – CIN)

“The smoke seems to have settled for Joe Mixon being released this offseason. He is currently sitting at RB15, which doesn’t make sense. He is attached to a high-power offense that should set him up for scoring opportunities. He no longer has a proven backup veteran to take away his workload. There is no reason why Mixon isn’t being looked at as an RB1 for the 2023 season. I have him as RB 9, with him finishing as a low-end RB1 in 2023. ”
