Tera Roberts’s Favorite Mid-Round Value
Tera is high on Zay Flowers this season. With an ADP of WR48 and an overall rank of 120, he sits close to the ECR of WR47, ranking 109 overall. A potential breakout candidate, Flowers could be a sleeper pick worth targeting in your draft.
Fitz’s Favorite Mid-Round Values
Fitz has lined up a substantial list of seven players who deserve a spot on your radar:
- Samaje Perine (RB – DEN) (ADP: RB40, 106th overall; ECR: RB50, 153rd overall) – A significant disparity between his ADP and ECR suggests he might be overlooked in many drafts.
- De’Von Achane (RB – MIA) (ADP: RB39, 99th overall; ECR: RB30; 84th overall) – Expected to outplay his ADP, Achane is a back to keep an eye on.
- Pat Freiermuth (TE – PIT) (ADP: TE9, 93rd overall; ECR: TE7, 77th overall) – A rising star at the TE position, don’t miss out on Freiermuth.
- Elijah Moore (WR – CLE) (ADP: WR48, 113th overall; ECR: WR43, 98th overall) – An exciting prospect, Moore might just exceed expectations.
- Jahan Dotson (WR – WAS) (ADP: WR33, 89th overall; ECR: WR28; 59th overall) – With an impressive ECR, Dotson promises to be a valuable pick.
- Brandon Aiyuk (WR – SF) (ADP: WR29, 72nd overall; ECR: WR28, 61st overall) – Aiyuk’s consistency makes him a reliable mid-round pick.
- Antonio Gibson (RB – WAS) (ADP: RB34, 87th overall; ECR: RB37, 102nd overall) – Don’t sleep on Gibson; he might just be the steal of your draft!
DBro’s Favorite Mid-Round Values
DBro’s list showcases some potential diamonds in the rough:
- Courtland Sutton (WR – DEN) (114th overall WR46 ADP / ECR 95th overall WR42) – Expected to make a significant impact this season in what should be a significantly-improved offense with Sean Payton at the helm.
- Jordan Addison (WR – MIN) (90th overall WR38 ADP / ECR 82nd overall WR37) – A target monster waiting to erupt.
- Daniel Jones (QB – NYG) (103rd overall QB14 ADP / 100th overall QB12) – If you’re looking for a QB in the mid-rounds, Jones could be your guy.
- Alvin Kamara (RB – NO) (68th overall RB26 ADP/ ECR 68th overall RB25) – It’s rare to see Kamara as a mid-round pick, but even with the suspension, if he’s there, grab him!
- Diontae Johnson (WR – PIT) (81st overall WR33 ADP/ ECR 65th overall WR31) – Johnson’s potential to explode is undeniable. Positive regression is coming.
- James Cook (RB – BUF) (78th overall RB31 ADP/ ECR 78th overall RB29) – A dual-threat back that promises consistent points.
- Darren Waller (TE – NYG) (63rd overall TE7 ADP/ ECR 69th overall TE5) – Waller’s upside as a TE in the New York offense makes him a must-have in the mid-rounds.
