With best ball contests released thick and fast, it can pay to zoom out and consider where the best fantasy football draft values are in each round. Which players do we want to aggressively pursue before fantasy football average draft position (ADP) shifts as draft rooms get busier over the summer? Which players have we been overlooking? These are the best fantasy football values in each round based on the current Underdog ADP as July drafts get underway. Here are a few notable fantasy football draft values.

2023 was the tail of two halves for the Cowboys. They disappointed before their Week 8 bye but from Weeks 9-17, Dak Prescott was the QB2 with 22.9 points per game, 0.1 behind overall QB1 Josh Allen. Since then, the Cowboys have downgraded at running back to a duo of Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott.
While the running game looks set to regress, or at the very least not improve, the passing game should be at least as good as last year with CeeDee Lamb becoming one of the true superstars of the league. Outside of Lamb, the wide receiver room is barren with hopes being placed on Jalen Tolbert, meanwhile, Cooks had eight touchdowns last year and is one of the more reliable wide receivers in an area where the position is drying up very quickly.
Outside of Tuanon, there aren’t many people who enjoy drafting Tua Tagovailoa. While he’s paired with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, it makes sense to be open to it. Tagovailoa was the QB5 in total points until Week 9, where his play dropped off somewhat as the Dolphins faced tougher opponents. It’s valid to be concerned by that, but there are reasons for optimism. Raheem Mostert is unlikely to score 20 rushing touchdowns again after running pure in 2023 and the defense looks set for regressions, which can help push the offense into more pass-heavy scripts. Further to this, a healthy Waddle will go a long way in helping Tagovailoa be more fruitful.
2023 was by far the rookie year Kendre Miller might have dreamed of, managing 3.0 yards per carry in the seven games he played. His first experience in the NFL was hampered by offseason injuries. Miller had rushed for over 1,400 yards and added 17 touchdowns in his final year at TCU before heading to the NFL. It would be wrong of us to write all that off after one year, particularly when the Saints seem lukewarm, at best, on Alvin Kamara, who is showing signs of decline and Jamaal Williams looked past it last year. With a new and more creative offensive coordinator, the Saints might surprise people this year.
“What I want to see from him is more consistency… I’ve seen burst and explosiveness, I’ve seen the ability to make people miss, I’ve seen good vision, one-cut ability. And yet, I want to see it more often.” pic.twitter.com/6s0LFaW6Zh
