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.

Fantasy Football Draft Values
Round 13 – Matthew Stafford (QB – LAR)
The Rams’ success in 2023 was headlined by Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams, but at the heart of it was Matthew Stafford, who rolled back the years and played at a near-MVP level at times. Over the last four years, the only time Stafford has thrown fewer than 3,900 yards was in 2022 when he missed seven games through injuries and the Rams generally being inept. With it being easy to stack Nacua and Cooper Kupp, it makes too much sense to have some exposure to Stafford in three quarterback builds.
Round 14 – Hunter Henry (TE – NE)
While everyone scrambles to decode the Patriots’ wide receiver room and decide which, if any, should be drafted, Hunter Henry quietly sits in the 14th round as a potential value. Henry saw 4.4 targets per game in a miserable version of this offense with Mac Jones at quarterback, with the ever-reliable Jacoby Brissett and electric Drake Maye, this offense can take a step forward. They certainly paid Henry like a player they expect to be a huge part of this offense.
Round 15 – Troy Franklin (WR – DEN)
Troy Franklin was a boom-or-bust type prospect out of a smaller school than many of the top wide receivers in this draft and there were plenty of question marks over his range of route running coming out of college. With that said, Franklin will have an immediate rapport with Bo Nix, who Franklin followed to the Broncos.
Everything the Broncos have put out suggests they were very high on him as a player. If Franklin can come anywhere close to the 1,383 yards and 14 touchdowns he had in 2023 at Oregon, he’ll be one of the steals of the draft season. At this cost, we can deal with him even having as few as two big blow-up weeks.
Troy Franklin puts em on skates.
