Adam Schefter's fantasy draft cheat sheet
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter dropped a fantasy football cheat sheet ahead of 2026 drafts, covering value picks and sleepers across rounds. Here is what he flagged by position.
Running backs
Kenneth Walker III, RB, Kansas City Chiefs, has an ADP of 22.3. Schefter noted Walker has never finished higher than RB18 in a fantasy season but expects him to shatter that mark in 2026.
Omarion Hampton, RB, Los Angeles Chargers, is sitting at ADP 25.3. Schefter's read is simple: when healthy, Hampton produces, and if he stays healthy this season, that holds.
Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars, is a mid-round name to watch at ADP 71.8. Jacksonville was high on him coming out of college, and that has not changed heading into his second season.
Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, New England Patriots (ADP 83.1), Kenny Gainwell, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (ADP 116.5), Blake Corum, RB, Los Angeles Rams (ADP 135.1), and Jordan Mason, RB, Minnesota Vikings (ADP 138.9) round out his running back targets across the middle and late rounds.
Quarterbacks
Caleb Williams, QB, Chicago Bears, and Tyler Shough, QB, New Orleans Saints, are Schefter's mid- and late-round quarterback targets. Both carry upside relative to where they should come off the board.
Tight ends
Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Cleveland Browns, is one of Schefter's top mid-round targets at the position. Isaiah Likely, TE, New York Giants, is his preferred late-round tight end.
What to do with this list
The ADPs above tell you where the market has these players priced. If your draft is approaching, check whether any of these names are falling past those numbers in your format. Walker and Hampton in particular are players Schefter sees as undervalued relative to their situations.
