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.

Travis Etienne (RB – JAX): ADP 32.48 | ECR 22

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’ expert consensus rankings (ECR) has Etienne (RB7) ranked as the No. 22 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 zag while others zig. 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 31.5 | ECR 25

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.

Zay Flowers (WR – BAL): ADP 55.05 | ECR 47

Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers had a terrific rookie season, has little-to-no target competition outside of tight end Mark Andrews and figures to be Baltimore’s WR1 for the foreseeable future. Yet, Flowers is currently the WR29 off the board in Fantrax drafts with an ADP in the middle of round five.

Last season, Flowers scored 17.7 PPR points in Week 1 and took off from there. He scored 10+ fantasy points in 11 out of 16 games, including 19+ in four of the final five weeks of the regular season. Flowers was a league winner for those lucky enough to roster him in the fantasy playoffs.

Moving forward, Baltimore does project as a run-first offense behind quarterback Lamar Jackson and new addition Derrick Henry, but that will open up opportunities in the passing game. So while the passing volume won’t be the same as other offenses, Flowers and Andrews soaking up the majority of targets should keep fantasy managers happy.

Trey McBride (TE – ARI): ADP 60.22| ECR 53

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+ 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. 53 overall) but he’s still available in the 60s in Fantrax drafts. There is a legitimate argument whether McBride or the previously mentioned Andrews should be drafted at TE3 this season but the massive difference in ADP makes no sense. Wait a round and take the value.

Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF): ADP 78.3 | ECR 67

If you’re looking for further value at the tight end position, Buffalo’s Dalton Kincaid is also mispriced in current Fantrax drafts. Kincaid is ranked as the No. 67 overall player (TE5) in FantasyPros’ ECR, but his current ADP is 78.3 (TE7), according to the latest Fantrax ADP.

With Stefon Diggs traded to Houston and Buffalo possibly incorporating more 2-TE sets, Kincaid could be in for a massive season. The Bills did draft Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman early in round two of the 2024 NFL Draft, but he isn’t necessarily a one-for-one replacement for Diggs. Kincaid very well could be the defacto WR1 in 2024.
