Every fantasy player has their own preference for which app to use for their home leagues and/or money leagues, and while the UI is often one of the biggest differences, the average draft position of players can vary greatly based on which app you are drafting on. Here are a few players who have great values across fantasy football apps.
RB Bucky Irving | Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Best Values: ESPN ADP: 52 | Yahoo ADP: 55
Worst Value: Sleeper ADP: 42
Bucky Irving is one of the best pass-catching backs in the league, and it’s a travesty that he is being drafted behind some of the RBs in this range. Many fantasy players have written him off for one reason or another; whether it’s because of Liam Coen’s departure in the 2025 offseason or the addition of Kenneth Gainwell for this season, Irving will still produce better than the RBs drafted alongside him in this range.
For perspective, had Irving played in all 17 games here, he would’ve finished with about 234 points, placing him between Josh Jacobs and Saquon Barkley. Getting a great receiving RB in PPR formats an entire round later is great value on ESPN and Yahoo, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second if Bucky Irving is sitting there in the 5th, let alone the 6th round!
QB Jaxson Dart | New York Giants
Best Values: Yahoo ADP: 90 | Sleeper ADP: 92
Worst Value: ESPN ADP: 79
QBs are the one position you can fade until much later in the draft. Guys like Bo Nix and Jared Goff have been consistent top-10 QBs in fantasy, so why draft one in the first 8 rounds? Don’t; wait until round 9/10, and if the board falls how it should, you can get a QB with top-5 potential this season.
Dart started in 12 games last season, and in those 12 games he averaged over 20 points per game. Had he played the full season at that rate, he would’ve finished with roughly 346 points, placing him 5th among QBs last season, just 14 points away from Drake Maye, who people are drafting in the top 50. The best part: Dart was a rookie without Malik Nabers. Nabers returns healthy; they bring in Isaiah Likely, and this team is poised for success in the passing game.
WR KC Concepcion | Cleveland Browns
Best Value: ESPN ADP: 145
Worst Values: Sleeper ADP: 121 | Yahoo ADP: 125
KC Concepcion is one of my favorite picks down the board when looking for guys with high potential. Every season, one or two rookie WRs blow away expectations and their ADPs. QB is a question mark in Cleveland, but we do know who the week one starter is, and that’s Deshaun Watson. It remains to be seen how long of a leash Watson will have, but one thing is certain and that’s that Watson historically doesn’t throw to his TE much.
While Fannin will be impacted negatively by Watson being named the starter, Concepcion will have the most to gain as he should lead the team in targets in an offense that will likely be playing from behind in the majority of its matchups.
TE Isaiah Likely | New York Giants
Best Value: ESPN ADP: 125
Worst Values: Sleeper ADP: 107 | Yahoo ADP: 109
The second New York Giant to make this list is Isaiah Likely, who comes with John Harbaugh from Baltimore to push this Giants passing game into another tier for Jaxon Dart’s sophomore season. Likely only made a few spot starts here and there during his rookie contract in Baltimore, but if you watched the games, you know he is going to be something special.
If you can’t get your hands on Bowers or McBride early, or one of the solid veterans later on, like Kelce or Kittle, likely at his ADP, especially on ESPN, is a great bet to outproduce his ADP.
Recap of Best Fantasy Football Values
There are quite a few players whose value varies depending on what app you’re drafting on, and it’s worth spending anywhere from a few minutes to maybe an hour comparing ADPs if you really want the best chance at beating your league mates. From Sleeper to ESPN to Yahoo, each app has great value for some players and rough value for others. Irving, Dart, Concepcion, and Likely are all guys I am high on, and reaching on one app may actually just be you getting them at the ADP on another app.
