The best way to find values, which also happens to be the way I found the values for this email, is by syncing your league to the WalterPicks app. Once synced, WalterPicks will know all your league settings, as well as the platform you’re on. Finding fantasy football values has NEVER been easier! Try it now! ⬇️
This piece last season called out:
Chase Brown (Finished as the RB7 in PPR leagues - was going as the RB12 on ESPN)
Tetairoa McMillan (Finished as the WR16 in PPR leagues - was going as the WR33 on ESPN)
RJ Harvey (Finished as the RB20 in PPR leagues - was going as RB27 on ESPN)
Josh Downs (Finished as the WR44 in PPR leagues - was going as the WR54 on ESPN)
Every player finished ahead of their ADP on ESPN. Here are players who are way undervalued on ESPN right now.
1. Mike Evans
Mike Evans is not the player he used to be, but ESPN is way too far behind on him. With the injury to Ricky Pearsall, Evans has an opportunity to see an even larger target share than we initially thought. His primary competition for targets will be George Kittle (coming off a torn achilles), CMC, and some combination of De’Zhaun Stribling and Deebo Samuel. At 32 years old, Evans projects to be the top WR on one of the premier offenses in the NFL (assuming the substation doesn’t take anymore victims).
ESPN ADP: WR35
Walter's Rank: WR23

2. Jayden Reed
Jayden Reed isn’t the safest option, but his boom potential makes him a very exciting option in fantasy. On top of that, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are on different teams this season, and Reed’s odds of becoming more consistent have risen. Our projections have Reed as a viable weekly starter, while ESPN has him a fringe starter/benchwarmer.
ESPN ADP: WR47
Walter's Rank: WR34
3. Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams was the QB8 in fantasy points per game last season, having eight outings with 19.9 points or more, as well as nine performances inside the top 12 QBs. But, for some reason, he’s going as the 13th QB off the board. His weekly ceiling is inside the top-three QBs and his overall ceiling is the QB1, yet ESPN has Dak Prescott, Bo Nix, and Brock Purdy ranked ahead of him. On ESPN, Caleb Williams is one of the best values at the QB position.
ESPN ADP: QB13
Walter's Rank: QB7
Caleb Williams’ ceiling compared to Bo Nix (who’s ranked ahead of him). If you want to see ceilings/floor for every player, compare players in the Draft Tool.
4. Stefon Diggs
It’s abundantly clear that ESPN rankings have yet to update for Stefon Diggs’ arrival in Washington. He’s coming off a thousand-yard season, and is the clear second target on an offense that desperately needed one. Regardless of if you believe in Stefon Diggs, he should not be going outside the top-50 WRs. We have him projected as the WR36 with a season-long ceiling of WR21.
ESPN ADP: WR51
Walter's Rank: WR36
