Draft season is peaking right now, and believe it or not, running backs are still flying off the board faster than a perfect Seattle sunny day, even with PPR formats in play. The latest Fantasy football ADP numbers are wild, showing Jahmyr Gibbs at the top spot at 1, Bijan Robinson right behind at 2, Jonathan Taylor checking in at 5, Christian McCaffrey at 7, and James Cook rounding out the top RBs at 9. Ja’Marr Chase is the first receiver snatched up at pick 3, with Josh Allen as the top signal-caller at 19, and Brock Bowers the first tight end at 25. Seriously, folks, these early picks can make or break your season.

Your Must-Draft Player for 2026 Is a Steal
And get this: White’s must-draft list features a couple of absolute gems. First up, running back David Montgomery, with an ADP of 50. This dude topped 1,100 total yards for five straight years *before* last season, and the experts are saying Woody Marks isn’t going to stop him from getting right back to that territory, possibly even hitting double-digit touchdowns. You could get Kyren Williams or Javonte Williams type production from last year, but you’re drafting him in the 20s at his position. That’s a steal! Then there’s tight end Tucker Kraft, going at ADP 73. He might be on a pitch count early, but every snap he’s on the field is expected to be meaningful.
This is crunch time, Seattle. Get your draft done right, grab those experts’ insights, and prepare for kickoff this Wednesday. Good luck crushing your league!
