Fantasy Football Values: Malik Nabers, Christian Kirk, Jake Ferguson

The 2024 NFL regular season is almost here. Fantasy players are trying to squeeze in a final few drafts. Many factors go into fantasy 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 draft values based on MyFantasyLeague ADP for redraft leagues.

Fantasy Football Draft Values For MFL Leagues

Malik Nabers (WR – NYG)

MFL ADP – WR20

While the Giants have one of the least appealing passing attacks, Nabers is my favorite WR1 target when using a Zero-WR draft build. Following Darren Waller’s retirement, the former LSU star will be the focal point of the team’s passing attack. Meanwhile, he ranked first in the NFL Draft class in yards per route run (3.64) among wide receivers with at least 20 targets last season (per PFF). Nabers has made several highlight-reel receptions during camp. He should challenge Marvin Harrison Jr. for the league leaders in targets among rookies.

Christian Kirk (WR – JAC)

MFL ADP – WR36

The last time Kirk was Trevor Lawrence’s go-to wide receiver, he ended the year as the WR11, averaging 11.8 half-point 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 – TE9

My draft plan at tight end this year is to draft and stud in the first few rounds or wait to pick Ferguson. He was the TE9 in his first season as the starter, averaging 10.4 half-point 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 in the offseason.
