Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Advice: Players to Add, Stash & Drop (Week 3)
It’s rare for a fantasy football waiver wire week to get an “A” grade in this article. Far more often, we lament the lack of quality waiver options. Week 3 gets an A-minus, but hey … it’s still an A. This is indeed a good week for waivers. There are a couple of widely available gems who’ll spark vigorous FAAB bidding. There are appealing options at the always-in-demand running back position. There are a number of worthwhile additions at wide receiver.

5 undervalued running backs to target (2026 fantasy football)
This article highlights five running backs to target based on current average draft position (ADP) who are undervalued fantasy football draft picks. Undervalued Fantasy Football Wide Receivers Saquon Barkley (RB – PHI) | ADP: 15 Overall (RB10) Everyone and their mother seemed to project a major regression for Saquon Barkley last season, yet he was still drafted third overall. It goes without saying that a 2,000-yard rushing season is nearly impossible to hit in back-to-back seasons.
Fantasy football mock draft: Zero RB strategy (2026)
The Zero RB draft strategy gained steam many years ago and became increasingly popular as starting running backs got injured and late-round running backs became league winners. Over the past few years, however, the strategy has cooled off considerably. We've seen a decrease in major injuries among star running backs and greater consistency in that group, leading to a shift in priorities.
5 players to draft using zero RB strategy (fantasy football)
When the zero RB fantasy football draft strategy first came into focus, it was hotter than your favorite TikTok trend ever was. The strategy, consisting of drafting your first running back in round six or later, is highly correlated to the fragility of early round running backs. As such, the strategy has become less popular over the last few seasons as the top running backs have been largely healthy and productive. Draft strategies, however, tend to swing like a pendulum.
High-Upside Fantasy Football Players by ADP (2026)
Looking at ADP in fantasy football is important for understanding a player’s value. Our Featured Pros highlight the high-upside targets they believe have the potential to dramatically outperform their draft cost and become difference-makers in 2026.

Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: 12-Team (2026 Fantasy Football)
The 2026 NFL Draft is in the rearview mirror. While most rookie drafts are complete, some leagues wait until July to select their incoming class. So let’s not waste any time and dive into this four-round dynasty rookie mock draft, tailored for a 12-team, PPR, 1QB dynasty league format.
Third-Year Player Outlooks: WRs & TEs (2026 Fantasy Football)
This is the second part of our third-year fantasy football player breakdown series that focuses on receivers and tight ends. Well, only one tight end. However, we have seven first-round receivers to analyze, plus some intriguing second-round selections. After a disappointing 2026 NFL Draft class, it’s refreshing to look back to when we were spoiled with NFL talent. In this article, I will break down each player’s first two seasons and see how they stack up going into their third year.
4 Must-Have Running Backs (2026 Fantasy Football)
When preparing for your fantasy football drafts, knowing which players to target and which to avoid is important. The amount of information available can be overwhelming, so a great way to condense the data and determine players to draft and others to leave for your leaguemates is to use our expert consensus fantasy football rankings compared to fantasy football average draft position (ADP).
First-Round Busts to Avoid (2026 Fantasy Football)
The first round sets the foundation for fantasy football squads, and drafting a bust can derail the entire season. Everyone selected in the first round has a tantalizing ceiling and a compelling case for their average draft position (ADP). Nevertheless, two players have higher odds of busting among the top 12 players picked in drafts than the other 10.
Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: 12-Team, Superflex (2026 Fantasy Football)
Superflex formats typically push quarterbacks to the top of rookie drafts, but this is not the class to force one. Jerimiyah Love is the clear RB1 with true three-down upside, rare receiving ability and the profile of a franchise cornerstone. Mendoza is the QB1 and is projected to be a solid NFL starter. He is not the type of difference-maker worth passing on an elite running back. In this class, talent scarcity outweighs position scarcity, making Love the obvious choice at 1.01.
Fantasy Football Draft Strategy: Streaming Defenses (2026)
Investing heavily in defense in fantasy football drafts is a lousy allocation of resources, especially in leagues that don’t feature strict roster move limits. Sure, the Texans should pile up sacks and turnovers in 2026. At the same time, on any given week, a defense hosting a backup quarterback could give Houston a run for its money in scoring fantasy points. Instead of investing a meaningful pick on a defense, gamers should use that pick on an offensive player and stream defenses.
Fantasy Football IDP: Defensive Back Draft Strategy (2026)
In fantasy football, defensive backs are the easiest part of IDP by a country mile. There are at least five DBs on almost every snap, making them abundant and easy to add off the wire, even in the deepest leagues. Only six of the Top-24 scoring DBs were CBs in 2025 and 2024. Safeties get more tackles and chances at the ball by playing in traffic, and in doing so, they get more chances for points. CBs are a little trickier; what we are looking for are targets against.
4 Overvalued Fantasy Football Draft Picks to Avoid on Fantrax (2026)
With such a small number of players on any given fantasy football roster, making a pick that does not return value — at any point in the draft — can be dangerous and lead to a season spent out of the postseason. Finding the right players in a draft on any platform, including Fantrax, is essential to building a championship roster. All drafts are different, and Fantrax has its own unique average draft position (ADP) and nuances when you enter a league on their platform.

5 Wide Receivers to Avoid (2026 Fantasy Football)
When we talk about wide receivers to avoid in 2026 Fantasy Football, we aren’t talking in black and white or in absolutes. Every player is worth selecting with the right draft capital or auction bid. But fantasy football players put value on players with their draft choices and their auction selections. Our job is to look at that value and determine if we think we would pay what it takes to roster a certain wide receiver.
3 Fantasy Football Sleepers to Target (2026)
Typically, I use an average draft position (ADP) cut line to determine who qualifies as a fantasy football sleeper. In this look at fantasy football sleepers, I’m using positional ADP as the cut line for qualification. The following sleepers have an ADP after QB12, RB30, WR42 and TE12. The rationale is that those players aren’t being selected as starters in 12-team leagues with starting spots for one quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, one tight end and one FLEX.

3 Overvalued Busts to Avoid (2026 Fantasy Football)
Everyone loves to talk about fantasy football sleepers, breakouts and league-winners. But there are so many things that have to go right — from talent to usage to straight-up luck — for a player to outperform their average draft position (ADP).
Fantasy Football Mock Draft: 12-Team, PPR (2026)
Now that the NFL Draft is in the books, we’re entering the quiet part of the offseason. No more rookie landing spot debates. No more free agency chaos.

Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft (2026 Fantasy Football)
Nicholas Singleton was also my selection in my pre-draft mock. Honestly, not much has changed for me post-draft. What has changed is perception. Before the NFL Draft, dynasty managers loved the idea of Jeremiyah Love landing in Tennessee and the prospect of him immediately taking over the lead role. Singleton lands in effectively the same situation, yet the excitement is nowhere near the same. Love was viewed as a significantly stronger prospect and carried far superior draft capital expectations.

Chad Workman This 2026 dynasty rookie mock draft is for 12-team, superflex fantasy football leagues.

Jeremiyah Love is an elite prospect at the running back position, and far and away the best fantasy football prospect in this class. While quarterbacks come with a premium price tag in superflex leagues, this class does not feature a top dual-threat quarterback that you cannot pass up.
