5 Fantasy Football Draft Values: Fantrax Leagues (2024)

It’s important to identify fantasy football draft values as you prepare to make your picks in your different leagues. However, these values can vary depending on the commissioner site you use for your fantasy football draft. We’ll have you covered this fantasy football draft season as we’ll explore the fantasy football draft values and players that are overvalued for each specific fantasy football commissioner site. Today we’re diving into fantasy football draft values on Fantrax.

Fantasy Football Draft Values: Fantrax Leagues

With the 2024-2025 NFL season slowly approaching, depth charts and Average Draft Position (ADP) are starting to crystalize. While every draft is unpredictable, trends and groupthink can lead to similar-looking ADP across various platforms.

That makes gaining an edge in fantasy drafts more difficult. It’s not impossible, though, and we’re here to help. Let’s look at the best fantasy football draft values you can find right now according to Fantrax ADP. Here are five fantasy football draft values on Fantrax.

Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR – DET): ADP 6.79 | ECR 5

You won’t find many differences in Fantrax’s top ten but Detroit wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown stands out as undervalued compared to our FantasyPros Expert Consensus Rankings. St. Brown is currently the seventh player off the board on Fantrax, but we have him ranked as the fifth player overall.

While that’s not a drastic difference, you take value however you can get it. St. Brown has fewer question marks at quarterback than Vikings WR Justin Jefferson and Jets RB Breece Hall, so I’m siding with FantasyPros ECR on this one. Snatch St. Brown up at a two-spot value before Fantrax catches up to the market.

Travis Etienne (RB – JAX): ADP 33.43 | ECR 21

Despite finishing last season as the overall RB3 (RB7 in points per game) in PPR scoring, Jacksonville running back Travis Etienne is severely overlooked in early Fantrax drafts. Etienne (RB9) is being drafted on their platform in the mid-to-late third round. For reference, FantasyPros ECR has Etienne (RB7) ranked as the No. 21 overall player in PPR scoring.

With almost a full-round difference between ADP and the consensus’ perceived value, Etienne is a smash pick for those willing to zig while others zag. Let your league-mates overpay for aging wide receivers and instead opt for the pass-catching running back with massive upside.

Jaylen Waddle (WR – MIA): ADP 31.05 | ECR 30

After finishing as the WR13 and WR8 in his first two seasons, Miami wide receiver Jaylen Waddle had a disappointing third season. Waddle’s career lows in receptions (72), receiving yards (1,014) and touchdowns (four) resulted in a WR34 finish in PPR scoring.

While I understand the concerns about his drop-off, recency bias has probably gone too far in pushing Waddle down to the WR18 in early Fantrax drafts. Waddle started 14 regular season games in 2023 but playing through multiple injuries severely impacted his on-field performance. Now fully healthy, Waddle is likelier to return to his 2022 production than repeat as a WR3.

Isiah Pacheco (RB – KC): ADP 42.51 | ECR 39

The 2024 offseason has been fairly kind to Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco. While other teams around the league have added competition to their backfields, Kansas City seems intent on running it back with Pacheco and the re-signed Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

Edwards-Helaire is a solid-enough backup but he’s mostly disappointed throughout his career. Considering the alternatives, Edwards-Helaire’s re-signing is a plus for Pacheco’s stock. Simply put, Edwards-Helaire isn’t a real threat to Pacheco’s workload.

Kansas City’s offense sputtered throughout most of the 2023 regular season but they hit a different groove in the playoffs. Pacheco could be in for an even better season in 2024 if that momentum rolls over into this year. While pass-catchers Travis Kelce, Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice (if not suspended) fight over receptions, the backfield should belong to Pacheco.

Trey McBride (TE – ARI): ADP 62.51 | ECR 51

After scoring a combined 15.9 PPR points in the first five regular season games, Arizona tight end Trey McBride broke out over the back half of last season. McBride scored 10 or more fantasy points in eight of Arizona’s final 12 contests and finished as the TE7 on the season.

McBride’s late-season breakout is noted in FantasyPros ECR (No. 51 overall) but he’s still available in the 60’s in Fantrax drafts. There is a legitimate argument whether Baltimore’s Mark Andrews or McBride should be drafted as TE3 this season but the massive difference in ADP makes no sense. Wait a round and take the value.
