Keeper Stash guys (1 Viewer)

[Instinctive]

Who do we think is likely to make a late round to early round jump in 2026 drafts, if you're mining for value?

I keep running across last couple round availability for Chris Godwin and Brandon Aiyuk. Trey Benson could succeed Conner last year and seems to fall to the teen rounds a lot...what are other prognosticators trying to do to stash a great keeper potential?

Terrance Ferguson, Cedric Tillman, Pat Bryant are a few that have late round value but potential for next year

 

[Gally]

Here are a few of my dart throws:

• Mims or Franklin - not sure which but one will.
• Monangai is worth a dart throw
• Thornton from LV
• Mooney if he falls far enough due to his shoulder injury
• Keaton Mitchell in case Henry ever gets old
• Chris Rodgriguez since JCM is taking all the spotlight right now
• Sean Tucker if he ends up somewhere else
• Tory Horton
• KeAndre Lambert Smith

Thornton and KLS both undrafted in my 2 dynasty leagues. May look to stash once I see what the ends of those rosters look like after cutdowns.

They should definitely be on dynasty rosters.

I like Gallys list and would say most of the same. Since there isn't much in the way of tight end there, I would maybe add Mason Taylor, JaTavion Sanders, and Theo Johnson. This is easier to do if you wait on the TE position in your draft and want to spend a roster spot on a high upside backup. None are likely making a jump to Bowers/McBride/Kittle range of drafts, but they are basically late round/free right now and could easily jump up into mid to low TE1 range rounds 6-8. Solid value bump, and always nice getting to use one of your last couple round picks as a keeper spot and keep all your other picks free.

Theo intrigues me. Could be the #2 target after Nabers right?

I also think Likely has been forgotten due to the injury. If you are just looking for next year value then he is a great target late.

That's my thought. I know Slayton has his truthers, but it's not like he hasn't had his chances either and hasn't done much to standout the past six seasons. Meanwhile Theo was already pushing ahead of Bellinger his rookie year until injury hit. Seemed to show improvement as the year went on as well, and eventually moved ahead of Bellinger on the depth chart this offseason. Athletic, explosive measurables in the combine (think he maxed out the RAS score at 9.99), solid route runner, can beat man coverage.

Giant's lack of receiving weapons, I could see them running 12 personnel with Bellinger staying in to block. Or if Johnson continues improving, even having him play the oversized slot role.

I think Luther Burden at a high to mid 2nd round rookie pick is a super value for next season. He probably won't get enough targets this season to make him fantasy viable, but with DJM likely moving on after the season, Burden is in line to get a ton of targets.

They should definitely be on dynasty rosters.

We have a 4-round rookie draft and then waivers won't run again until just before the season, so there will likely be a FAAB flurry that first week. Somebody will probably drop 90% on JCM

I grabbed him late in a keeper league for that reason.

Agreed, but i wonder about Thornton as an every week starter. Big play leagues, and best ball, all day.

He's a 9th/10th rounder in best ball already, I think

Charbonnet. If Walker isn’t resigned he becomes the likely starter in 2026. Plus he can help your team this season.
