Fantasy Football Draft Values: Best Ball ADP
Round 4 – Patrick Mahomes (QB – KC)
Patrick Mahomes has finished as a top-six QB in five of his six seasons as the starter, with last year’s QB14 finish by far his worst. Still, the Chiefs have added Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown, which should go some way to helping. We’ve seen enough to know Mahomes can go toe-to-toe with the dual-threat quarterbacks, helped somewhat because he’s rushed for 3.8 attempts per game throughout his career and his 37% top-five weekly finish rate over 91 career fantasy-relevant games.
Round 5 – Mark Andrews (TE – BAL)
The biggest argument against Mark Andrews seems to be he’s 28 years old. Which, for the record, is six years younger than perhaps the greatest fantasy tight end we’ve ever seen in Travis Kelce, who has been dominating for the last five years. The emergence of Isaiah Likely is another knock on Andrews, but Todd Monken has had success with two-TE systems previously. The Ravens never replaced Odell Beckham Jr. either, who had the second-most team targets in 2023. In best ball, we’re looking for ceiling outcomes, and Andrews still possesses them.
Round 6 – Chris Godwin (WR – TB)
2023 wasn’t great for Chris Godwin with seven finishes outside the top 36 receivers as he got to grips with new quarterback Baker Mayfield and moved out of the slot, playing there only 37.8% of the time. This was a dramatic change from Godwin’s previous four seasons where he averaged a 68.6% slot rate. It’s music to fantasy managers’ ears that in 2024 the Buccaneers plan to play him more in his natural position.
