Fantasy Football Draft Values to Target
We dive into some of the best fantasy football draft values to target in fantasy football drafts based on current ADP.
Round 1 – Breece Hall (RB -NY): ADP 8.1
While he has played for arguably the worst offense in the NFL the past two years, Hall has been outstanding for fantasy players. He was the RB6 as a rookie. Furthermore, the former Iowa State star was the RB2, averaging 17.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game from Week 5 through the end of last season. Hall was outstanding despite running behind the sixth-worst run-blocking offensive line in the NFL (per PFF). Expect him to be significantly better after the Jets vastly improved their offensive line.
Round 2 – Nico Collins (WR – HOU): ADP 19.4
Collins was a popular breakout candidate last year. He was the WR6 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 14.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per contest, a higher average than Puka Nacua and Mike Evans. The former Michigan star was C.J. Stroud’s go-to target, leading the team in receptions (80), targets (109), receiving yards (1,297), and touchdowns (eight). While Tank Dell had an impressive rookie season, Collins maintained his fantasy production with him on the field. He is Houston’s No. 1 wide receiver, even with Stefon Diggs in town.
Round 3 – Derrick Henry (RB – BAL): ADP 30.9
Some might have concerns with Henry because of his age (he turned 30 in January) and his career workload (over 2,000 rushing attempts in the NFL). However, the veteran was the RB8 in 2023, averaging 13.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game despite splitting the backfield work with Tyjae Spears. Henry averaged only 1.11 yards before contact per rushing attempt behind an awful Tennessee Titans offensive line last year (per Fantasy Points Data). Thankfully, he will be far better this season behind a significantly better Baltimore offensive line.
