Purdy Emerges as Top Late-Round Value in 2026 QB Tiers 3.0

2026 Fantasy Football Draft Blueprint: Expert Tactics to Win

FantasyPros expert Pat Fitzmaurice lays out a flexible, position-driven approach for 2026 drafts: tailor early targets to your league’s starting lineup (load up at WR if you start three WRs, lean RBs if you start two); avoid drafting a quarterback in the first four rounds in 1QB formats due to value in mid-rounds, while staying open to mid-round TEs like Kraft or Pitts. He emphasizes the risk of assuming WR depth is limitless, advocates targeting high-upside late-rounds (e.g., Christian Watson), and warns against overhandcuffing RBs, preferring to diversify RB exposure. The plan also covers mid-round QB/TE value, drafting in good offenses, and considering in-season management and waivers to shore up the roster when injuries hit.
