Fantasy Football Draft Values: Jayden Daniels, Zamir White, Jonathon Brooks

NFL training camps are underway, meaning the preseason is less than three weeks away. Therefore, now is the time for fantasy players to prepare for their redraft leagues.

Many factors go into winning a redraft league every year. However, the top factor is drafting players at a value.

Let’s look at some of my favorite draft values based on Yahoo ADP.

Fantasy Football Draft Values: Yahoo Leagues

Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS)

Yahoo ADP – 116.1 | QB14

Quarterbacks who can make explosive plays with their legs are worth their weight in gold, making Daniels a potential league winner as the 14th quarterback off the board. He had 2,019 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns during his two years at LSU. Daniels also had a 10-1 touchdown to interception ratio in 2023. The Commanders have a solid set of weapons and could add Brandon Aiyuk. Furthermore, they will be chasing points for much of the upcoming season, giving Daniels plenty of opportunities to rack up fantasy points.

Zamir White (RB – LV)

Yahoo ADP – 65.2 | RB22

White was the RB8, averaging 14.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game during the four weeks Josh Jacobs missed with an injury last year. He had the fourth-highest yards after contact per rushing attempt (3.06) among running backs with at least 30 attempts during those four weeks, ranking ahead of Christian McCaffrey and Jahmyr Gibbs (per Fantasy Points Data). The former Georgia star had 20 or more touches in every contest, totaling 100 or more scrimmage yards in all but one game. White is one of my must-have running backs.

Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR)

Yahoo ADP – 106.1 | RB34

The former Texas star is a massive value if fantasy players can draft him as a low-end RB3. Brooks should have an RB2 ADP despite coming off a torn ACL. He averaged 6.1 rushing yards per attempt and 113.9 yards per game last season. Furthermore, Brooks had the 11th-most missed tackles forced (63) in 2023 despite missing the final four games with the injury (per PFF). Last year, Dave Canales made Rachaad White an RB1 despite averaging only 3.6 yards per rushing attempt. Brooks will be significantly better once healthy.
