The NFL season is always a grind and having healthy players goes a long way to winning that coveted title in fantasy, as it does in real life.
Having players providing a value higher than their average draft position does as well.
The following are 5 Eagles players with a current ADP lower than their expected return on your round investment.
These players could propel you toward hoisting your fantasy league trophy in 2023.
A.J. Brown:
His current ADP is averaging between the 13–25th overall player selected, and the 6th wideout taken off the board.
He is not the value he was last year when he was the 12th WR being selected, but his connection with Hurts is steady and won’t be denied.
He had 140 targets last season, I expect that number to go down some, to maybe 125.
My Projected Fantasy Value
83 receptions, 1,357 receiving yards, 8 TDs
DeVonta Smith:
DeVonta is currently the 14th wideout being drafted.
Last year he was the 30th.
So much like AJ, his value will not be as high of a return for those who got that bargain last year, but he is still being underestimated.
I expect him to have a better season statistically.
My Projected Fantasy Value
96 Receptions 1361 receiving yards 7 TDs
Dallas Goedert:
Dallas may not get the number of targets needed to be a top-tier fantasy tight end (70–85) but the game plan should still allow for an average of 6–7 a week.
He wants 1000 yards this season, and maybe I am being too ambitious, but I think he can get there as well.
If he stays healthy, I expect him to increase his production and be a top 5 tight end.
My Projected Fantasy Value
77 Receptions 1007 yards 6 TD’s
Jalen Hurts:
Last year his ADP was in the late to mid-sixties, while being ranked between the 7–10th fantasy QB.
This season he was ranked the #3 player in the NFL by his peers and most of his doubters are now believers, so it will be a lot harder to procure him on the roster.
The rushing yards and touchdowns will always be a part of his game, and the passing game will only get better.
New RB D’Andre Swift should help to increase the volume as well.
My Projected Fantasy Value
4066 passing yards 29 TDs 10 int
671 rushes and 11 TDs
Kenneth Gainwell:
Gainwell’s current ADP is 171st, as the 59th running back that’s been drafted overall.
If healthy, he should deliver a much larger value than a projected RB3, and I think he may even be RB1.
All of the attention has been given to Swift, but KG has a chance to have a larger volume o the ground, and he could come close to the receptions in the passing game.
My Projected Fantasy Value
131 Rushes 582 yards and 6 TDs
37 Receptions 433 yards and 2 TDs
A tad ambitious, perhaps, but I believe he will have 1000 all-purpose yards.
In my opinion, Gainwell has the most value based off of his ADP.
He is a steal in the late rounds and could be the player that propels you to victory.
He is a must-add!
- Honorable mentions to D’Andre Swift and Penny who will be a great handcuff if you select KG, unfortunately, they are being selected higher.
