Christian Kirk, Mark Andrews, DeAndre Hopkins (2024)

With best-ball contests being released in large numbers, it may be worth taking a step further and considering where the best fantasy football draft values ​​are in each round. Which players do we want to aggressively pursue before the average draft position (ADP) in fantasy football shifts as draft rooms get more crowded in the summer? Which players have we missed? These are the best fantasy football values ​​in each round based on the current underdog ADP when drafts begin in July. Here are some notable fantasy football draft values.

Values ​​for Fantasy Football Draft

Round 4 – Christian Kirk (WR – JAX)

He may not be flashy or overly fancy, but Christian Kirk is steady and reliable in an area of ​​the draft where question marks loom. Kirk has had 218 targets over the past two years, resulting in eight top-15 finishes per week, and averaged a career-high 2.07 yards per route run in 2023. The additions of Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis were made to spread the field out further, which in turn will make Kirk’s life easier as he works closer to the line of scrimmage and makes catches with a higher probability.

Round 5 – Mark Andrews (WR – TE)

The biggest argument against Mark Andrews seems to be that he’s 28 years old, making him six years younger than perhaps the best fantasy tight end we’ve ever seen, Travis Kelce, who has dominated for the past five years. The emergence of Isaiah Likely is another strike against Andrews, but Todd Monken has had success with 2-TE systems before and it’s not like the Ravens replaced Odell Beckham Jr., who had the second-most team targets in 2023. In best ball, we look for excellence and Andrews still possesses it.

Round 6 – DeAndre Hopkins (WR – TEN)

We know the Titans believe in Will Levis enough to draft him for his second year, and while we know he doesn’t have a particularly good success rate, the Titans have done everything they can to surround him with more talent for 2024. Hopkins is currently available 12 spots after Calvin Ridley, even though Hopkins surpasses Ridley in yards per route run, yards per reception, receiving EPA, yards per play, and points per touch in 2024. Going with the elite receiver who already has a good relationship with his quarterback seems like a smart move to me.
