Fantasy Football Draft Values: Amari Cooper, Christian Kirk, Jake Ferguson (2024)

While the 2024 NFL regular season is months away, now is the time to start preparing for fantasy football redraft leagues. Many factors go into fantasy football players winning their redraft league every year. However, the top factor is drafting players at a value.

Let’s look at some of my favorite fantasy football draft values based on MyFantasyLeague average draft position (ADP) for redraft leagues.

Fantasy Football Draft Values: MFL Leagues

Amari Cooper (WR – CLE) | MFL ADP – WR33

Cleveland started five quarterbacks last year. Yet, Amari Cooper was the WR18, averaging more half-PPR fantasy points per game (12.7) than Davante Adams, Michael Pittman Jr. and Jaylen Waddle. Furthermore, the veteran was outstanding playing with any quarterback besides Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Cooper averaged 15.1 fantasy points per game in the 12 contests he played that Thompson-Robinson didn’t start, which would have made him the WR6 on a points-per-game basis. Cooper should get drafted as a WR2, not a WR3 or Flex option, despite the arrival of Jerry Jeudy.

Christian Kirk (WR – JAX) | MFL ADP – WR38

The last time Kirk was Trevor Lawrence‘s go-to wide receiver, he ended the year as the WR11, averaging 11.8 half-PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, the veteran was the WR16, averaging 11.7 fantasy points per game from Week 2 through Week 12, despite Calvin Ridley seeing a 20% target per route run rate during those contests last year, per Fantasy Points Data. With Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr. challenging defenses downfield, expect Kirk to see plenty of easy targets in the middle of the field.

Jake Ferguson (TE – DAL) | MFL ADP – TE11

My draft plan at tight end this year is to draft a stud in the first few rounds or wait to pick Jake Ferguson. He was the TE9 in his first season as the starter, averaging 10.4 half-PPR fantasy points per game. More importantly, Ferguson was the clear-cut No. 2 guy, ranking second on the team in receptions (71), targets (102) and receiving yards (761) in 2023. He should have a larger role this upcoming season after the Cowboys lost Michael Gallup and Tony Pollard this offseason.
