Last minute list of undervalued players (1 Viewer)

Over the past 4 weeks I have comprised a list of Undervalued players. Not so much true sleepers, but players that are going for less $$ than they should.

($$ meaning auction value, but this can equate to a snake draft as well.).

Anyone cramming in some last minute value (like me, I have a draft today and tomorrow) can use this as an aid.

The bolded players are players I really want to make sure are on my team. The others I would be happy to have for the right price....

RB - Mark Ingram, Jahvid Best, Tim Hightower, Beanie Wells, Marshawn Lynch, Felix Jones, Reggie Bush.

WR - Brandon LLoyd, Mario Manningham, Vincent Jackson, Santana Moss (ppr), Brandon Gibson, Braylon Edwards, Denarius Moore, Kenny Britt, Percy Harvin.

TE - Jimmy Graham, Aaron Hernandez.

Alot has changed over the past few weeks. And some of these players prices have skyrocketed since then. But for the most part, everyone of of these players seem to be going for less than what I think they should.

Feel free to add to this list. Or comment for good or bad. I could use some last minute advice before the draft. (we all could!)

 
If you are unsure whether MJD's knee is sound, you need to be looking at Deji Karim as a rather inexpensive handcuff.

very solid list. in fact i find many of these players on my rosters already (and plam to get more in two more drafts this weekend.) Nicely done. :thumbup:
 
I don't think Jimmy Graham in undervalued in redrafts. Obviously not in dynasties either.
de[ends on how high you have his value. I think he's top 3 this year and he's going in the 10th-11th round. Maybe not in dynasties, but in redrafts people don't like to put the cart before the horse. They want to 'see more', but by then it'll be too late to get him at value.

Very few people seem to realize that John Carlson is done for the season . . . meaning Zach Miller is the only TE of note in SEA. His ADP is currently TE 14, I have seen him going in the TE 20 range.

 
Leon Washington seems like a better value than Lynch, especially for a team that could be behind in a lot of games.

Agreed, I also think BMW is being undrafted considering Sidney Rice's inability to stay on the field

If only they had a starting-caliber QB on the roster...

Miller has ranked as a fantasy TE1 the past three seasons playing with the likes of Jason Campbell, JaMarcus Russell, Bruce Gradkowski, Charlie Frye, and Andrew Walter. I can't imagine whoemever the Seahawks roll out could be any worse than that collective group.

Last year the Seattle ranked 28th for TE FF points scored (Carlson-Baker-Morrah).In PPR Miller ranked 10th, 11th, 9th and 17th in his four year career. 12 TDs in 62 games; his next mulit-TD game will be his first. I guess technically that makes him startable and you could have called him a TE1 the last three, but just doesn't strike me as a key to your championship run type.TE14-TE20 seems like the range he should be drafted in. He was adequate in Oakland, and he just moved to an offense that utilizes the TE less, and he's playing with T-Jax. When you compare him to all the other TEs around the league - and it's really deep these days - he is getting drafted right where he should.
 
Tier 1

Antonio Gates

Jason Witten

Dallas Clark

Jermichael Finley

Vernon Davis

Tier 2

Rob Gronkowski

Marcedes Lewis

Owen Daniels

Kellen Winslow

Jimmy Graham

Aaron Hernandez

Brandon Pettigrew

Tier 3

Todd Heap

Brent Celek

Greg Olsen

Jared Cook

Jermaine Gresham

Heath Miller

Dustin Keller

Tony Gonzalez

Zach Miller belongs somewhere in that third group (13th-20th on this list).

 
I absolutely love Lance Kendricks TE St. Louis. No clear #1 wr with a good young qb on a team thats gonna toss the ball around.

Neither is Felix Jones. In 3 redraft leagues I'm in he was gone by the end of the 3 round in all 3. In one he was drafted at 2.11. Maybe one Cowboy fan in the whole group. It seems that everyone is so high on him to the point he's overvalued.

I've seen the same. 4 leagues, all 12 team, & Felix has been taken no later than the 3rd Rd in all 4 leagues. Highest spot was 3.01 (in 2 leagues), lowest was 3.09. All leagues are .5 PPR, 1 pt/10 yds, 6 pts/TD; no weird scoring rules.
 
I'm in two leagues that have a few of the same managers. The first draft was last weekend and Felix went 3.02. We had our next draft on Friday and Felix went 2.06. The guy who took him correctly determined that he wouldn't be back in the 3rd and took him with the 18th overall selection. He better be a stud at these prices.

I'm all over Matt Forte at his current ADP. He was the 8th overall RB last year in my 0.5 PPR league and he's being drafted in the mid to late 3rd round. No one in my leagues seems to like him either.

I think Lance Kendricks belongs at the tail end of group 2 or in gropu 3 at the least.
 
I have the Rams down as running a ton of double TE sets, much as Denver did last year. I expect the Rams TE to catch around 70-75 balls. My projections have Kendricks around 36-410-2, and Hoomanawanui around 22-210-2, and another 15-17 catches from the other two that are escaping my mind.

IOW, it wasn't an oversight. But I've seen the chatter and the back slapping around the SP the last few weeks, and I know there is great hope. Based on McDaniels historical use of the TE and based on recent TE production on the Rams, it doesn't seem likely to me. I could certainly be dead wrong about that.

Except that Shiancoe isn't anywhere on it...Musgrave is coming from Atlanta and will use the TE a ton.

Visanthe was one of my favorite special teamers when he played with the G-men.Maybe he'll break out in his 9th season. SEE Lloyd, Brandon.I have him down for 50-540-4, around TE26 (four spots in front of Kendricks).YMMV, I could be dead wrong, et al.
 
Depends on who you play with, but many of the players listed in the opening post were players undervalued a month ago moreso than now. I think that the veteran, unsexy picks are often the most undervalued come draft day. Owners sometimes like being right on an up-and-coming player rather than take the known production. Players like Brady, Gore, MJD, Turner, DeAngelo, Wayne, Lloyd, etc. I've seen these guys slip pretty far in a few drafts because people love 'upside' instead.

 
Late round flyer for me. Took Matt Hasselbeck in the 13th round as a potential #2. This guy has been on a train wreck of a team for some time. He now joins a good offensive line, great running game, great WR with Britt. Could use some other WRs but this really seems to me to be a possible value pick so long as you aren't looking for top 8 numbers. But the guy threw 28 TDs and 4,000 yards in 2007. Since then his team has sucked. I know Tenn is run-based so that tempers it, as does his age. But at the end of a draft I'd rather take a flyer on a guy I know has proven himself than a "break out" player that never has.

Of course, I didn't see any young guys I was dying to have either. Maybe I should have drafted some breakout RB to have some depth after Rashad Jennings . . .

I took him in a competetive redraft at 4.02 today over Deangelo/s greene/best/mathews etc. fwiw
