Brock Purdy is currently getting drafted behind an average of 12 other quarterbacks in fantasy football, and if you’re sleeping on him, you’re making a massive mistake. This isn’t just a slight oversight, it’s a colossal miscalculation that could cost you big time this season. Seriously, look at his track record: Purdy finished last season as the QB5 in average fantasy points per game. That’s not a fluke, folks. He was QB12 in 2024 and QB8 in 2023. These aren’t “bargain bin” numbers, they’re consistent top-tier production.

Purdy’s Weapons Are Loaded, And His Price Is A Steal

Forget the ADP for a second, let’s talk about the guy’s setup. Purdy gets to throw to a ridiculous group of playmakers, and that’s why he’s morphing into a fortune-changing bargain for your draft board. Christian McCaffrey is still in the backfield, George Kittle is at tight end, and his receiving corps is stacked with new additions like Mike Evans, who’s historically a 1,000-yard machine, and rookie De’Zhaun Stribling, who’s already generating serious preseason buzz. Yeah, there are health risks among that group, no doubt. But here’s the kicker: his discounted draft cost is already accounting for that risk. If even most of those guys stay healthy, Purdy isn’t just a good value, he could easily be a top-five quarterback performer. You simply can’t pass on that kind of upside at such a low cost.

Javonte Williams’ 1,338 Scrimmage Yards Still Aren’t Enough, And The League Is Sleeping

How in the world is the fantasy community still not totally onboard with Javonte Williams? Last season, he silenced doubters with a monster 1,338 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns, all on the league’s seventh-highest offense. Yet, his ADP is still sitting at RB16 when he produced like an RB11. What’s the hesitation? Is it because his scoring dipped to five touchdowns in his final eight games? That’s likely just simple variance, not some definitive change of direction. This Cowboys offense is built to be explosive again, and Williams faces almost no competition for touches. He’s a true bell-cow back, tallying 287 touches in 2025. If he’s getting that kind of volume, he’s going to be just as productive as last season, and honestly, he could take an even bigger step forward. Grab him before everyone else wakes up.

Jalen McMillan Is The Ultimate Bet For Zero Risk, Huge Reward

We’re talking about a guy being drafted outside the top 60 wide receivers here, and Jalen McMillan can be a game-breaker when he’s healthy. Look at the numbers: in his eight career games with five or more targets, he racked up 38 receptions for 480 yards and seven touchdowns. What other receiver outside the top 60 averages essentially 60 yards and a score? Yes, he needs to stay on the field, but every NFL player has injury risk. His primary competition for targets, Emeka Egbuka, is week-to-week with a toe sprain, and Chris Godwin Jr. has played only 16 games combined over the last two seasons. This Tampa aerial attack, with Baker Mayfield at the helm, is going to put up numbers, and McMillan is an absolute dart throw worth taking. You’re not paying anything for this wager, and the opportunity and upside are huge. These are the kinds of players that win you leagues, so don’t be afraid to take a chance on a potential game-changer.
