    The Best & Worst Pick in Every Round of 2026 Fantasy Football (Round 6 is GROSS!)

    ESPN's ADP is doing some genuinely strange things this year, and Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet went through all sixteen rounds to find it.Every round gets the same treatment: one pick you should be running to the podium for, and one you should be letting somebody else make. It starts in the first with Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor going in wildly different directions, then Brock Bowers and Josh Allen in the second, Breece Hall and Josh Jacobs in the third. Round 4 brings Emeka Egbuka and Tyler Warren, Round 5 has Jaylen Waddle and Quinshon Judkins, and Round 6 pairs Luther Burden with a kicker taken far too early.The middle rounds are where ESPN's board really comes apart — Mike Evans and DK Metcalf, Christian Watson against a defense going way ahead of schedule, Justin Herbert and Travis Hunter, Josh Downs and Isaiah Likely. Then the late-round dart throws that actually matter: Kyle Monangai, Kenyon Sadiq, Stefon Diggs, Hunter Henry, KC Concepcion, Woody Marks, Jayden Higgins, Jerry Jeudy, Malik Willis, Fernando Mendoza, Chris Rodriguez and Tank Dell.Each round opens with the actual ESPN ADP board so you can see exactly where these players are going and what it costs you to wait. If you're drafting on ESPN this year, this is the round-by-round cheat sheet for what to exploit and who to fade. Topics in this video:2026 fantasy football, ESPN ADP, fantasy football draft strategy, best and worst picks, Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, Brock Bowers, Josh Allen, Breece Hall, Josh Jacobs, Emeka Egbuka, Tyler Warren, Jaylen Waddle, Quinshon Judkins, Luther Burden, Mike Evans, DK Metcalf, Christian Watson, Justin Herbert, Travis Hunter, Josh Downs, Isaiah Likely, Kyle Monangai, Kenyon Sadiq, Stefon Diggs, Hunter Henry, KC Concepcion, Jayden Higgins, Jerry Jeudy, Malik Willis, Tank Dell, fantasy football rankings, players to avoid Learn more about your ad choices.

    Tier Rankings Wide Receivers for 2026 Fantasy Football Part 2! (Tiers 5-13)

    Kendall Valenzuela and Dwain McFarland finish the 2026 wide receiver tiers. Part 1 covered the WR1s (check it out here: https://youtu.be/fSvyvFbbTn0); this is everything after — from the high-upside WR2s all the way down to the late-round names where drafts are actually won. It starts with the tier that might matter most in your draft: Emeka Egbuka, Tetairoa McMillan, Ladd McConkey, Luther Burden III, Zay Flowers, Jaylen Waddle and Garrett Wilson. Then a group of proven veterans in new or changed situations — Mike Evans, Davante Adams, DJ Moore, Terry McLaurin and Chris Godwin — followed by the bet-on-the-leap names in Christian Watson, Jameson Williams and Rome Odunze. Jordyn Tyson and Carnell Tate get their own conversation, as do Brian Thomas Jr. and Marvin Harrison Jr., two guys whose draft prices and projections are further apart than you'd expect. From there it's the part of the board most people guess at. Parker Washington, Makai Lemon, Josh Downs, Jayden Reed, Quentin Johnston, Jordan Addison, Michael Wilson and Alec Pierce. Then Stefon Diggs, DK Metcalf, Courtland Sutton, Michael Pittman Jr. and Jakobi Meyers. Then Matthew Golden, Xavier Worthy, KC Concepcion, Jayden Higgins, Omar Cooper Jr., De'Zhaun Stribling, Denzel Boston and Travis Hunter. And finally the last-picks-of-the-draft group: Romeo Doubs, Wan'Dale Robinson, Deebo Samuel, Rashid Shaheed, Jalen Coker and Khalil Shakir. Dwain explains what separates each tier from the one above it, and Kendall pushes on the ones where the ranking doesn't match the price. If you're trying to figure out which late receiver is worth a real pick instead of a dart throw, this is the half of the board that decides it. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Which 2026 Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates Will ACTUALLY Break Out? (1-10 Scale)

    Everyone has a list of 2026 breakout candidates. Almost nobody puts a number on how confident they actually are.Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet take the most popular breakout names in fantasy football and rate each one from 1 to 10 on how likely they are to genuinely break out — with a strict definition: a breakout means you'll be drafting that player at least one full tier higher next season. And Pete is only allowed to give one player a 10 all episode.They work through Luther Burden, Emeka Egbuka, Tetairoa McMillan, Bhayshul Tuten, Jonathon Brooks, Parker Washington, Ladd McConkey, Josh Downs and Matthew Golden, then move to quarterback with Jaxson Dart and Bo Nix before closing on tight end with Kenyon Sadiq. Every player comes with Fantasy Life's projections and the second-half splits that show whether the leap already started last season.The scores get contentious. There are multiple players where Kendall and Pete are four full points apart, and at least one name where one of them is completely out on a consensus favorite. If you've been staring at a breakout list wondering which names are real, this puts a number on all of them.

    Ranking the Top WRs for 2026 Fantasy Football: Part 1 (Tiers 1-4)

    Kendall Valenzuela is joined by Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet to go through Dwain's 2026 wide receiver rankings — not as a flat list, but in tiers. This is Part 1 of 2, covering the first four tiers and the 15 receivers Dwain considers true WR1s.Are Ja'Marr Chase and Puka Nacua really in a class of their own, or has someone closed the gap? Where does Jaxon Smith-Njigba land after his breakout, and does Amon-Ra St. Brown or CeeDee Lamb come off the board first? Then the group Dwain thinks is the most misunderstood range on the board — Justin Jefferson, Malik Nabers, Drake London, Nico Collins, A.J. Brown and Rashee Rice — where the gap between name value and projection gets uncomfortable. And the last group of the day sorts out DeVonta Smith, George Pickens, Chris Olave and Tee Higgins, where you can still get WR1 production without paying WR1 prices.Every player comes with Dwain's per-game projection and an Xfinity best-case ceiling, so you're not just hearing an opinion — you're seeing the range of outcomes that put each guy where he is. Kendall and Pete push back throughout on the ones they'd rank differently. Part 2 goes deeper down the board, so subscribe and come back for the rest. Topics in this video: 2026 fantasy football, wide receiver tiers, WR rankings, Dwain McFarland rankings, Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Amon-Ra St. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, Malik Nabers, Drake London, Nico Collins, A.J.

    Which TE Drafting Strategy is Best in 2026 Fantasy Football: Elite TE or Late TE?

    Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet settle the biggest positional debate of 2026 drafts: do you pay up for an elite tight end, or wait until the double-digit rounds and punt the position entirely? They each build a real Underdog best ball team around one strategy — and then grade each other's rosters.First up are the four tight ends coming off the board early: Brock Bowers in the second round, Trey McBride in the third, Colston Loveland in the fourth and Tyler Warren in the sixth. Are they actually worth the price? Then we get into the middle of the board with Tucker Kraft, Sam LaPorta, Harold Fannin, Kyle Pitts and George Kittle, followed by the round-11 pileup of Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, Dalton Kincaid, Isaiah Likely and Jake Ferguson. And if you want to punt completely, we go through Dallas Goedert, Chig Okonkwo, Oronde Gadsden, Brenton Strange, Hunter Henry and Juwan Johnson.Then we stop talking and actually draft. Kendall and Pete each take a side, build a full Underdog roster, and come back for a post-draft debrief to figure out which approach really left them better off. If you've been staring at your draft board trying to decide when to pull the trigger at tight end, this is the episode that answers it.
