The new rookie class around the NFL gets all the attention over the summer. They’re the flashy new pieces for fantasy football, and of course they can be anything. But last year’s rookies aren’t fully formed yet. The players entering their second season aren’t the fancy new thing anymore. That can open up some value in fantasy drafts for players still due to break out, and it can lead to fantasy mistakes for players who had a good first season that turns out to be a mirage. Everyone knows Year 1 to Year 2 is one of the biggest jumps an NFL player can make, but this still happens.

We’re in the thick of best ball season, and I plan on drafting over 1,000 best ball teams this summer.

As NFL teams inch closer to training camp, the free agent market has almost dried up. Almost. There are still a few big-name potential impact veterans on the market who teams can sign to improve their team. One of those players is cornerback and 2019 Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore, who the odds say is most likely to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a free agent if he doesn’t return to the Dallas Cowboys.

Some players are valued extremely differently every year between redraft, dynasty, and best ball formats. Let’s address the elephant in the room, these are all vastly different formats with even more different strategies. No matter how forward-thinking dynasty players are, their immediate production impacts their market price. With that in mind, here are some players with a 10+ ADP difference between formats, meaning someone is mispriced. There have been plenty of drafts at this point in the offseason, and finding incorrectly valued players in fantasy football can be an extremely helpful exercise in all formats.

Independence Day brings fireworks, parades, a time to reflect on our nation’s nearly 250 years of history … and one of the best baseball slates of the entire year. Because it’s a holiday, we of course get a full 15 games, with every team in action, and the league spaced the games out — the first game starts at 11:05 a.m. ET (Mets at Nationals), and we’ll have action until late at night, with first pitch between the Diamondbacks and Dodgers scheduled for 9:10 p.m.

The Cleveland Browns have constructed an impressive roster, but major questions remain at the all-important position of offensive tackle. The massive investment Cleveland made in quarterback Deshaun Watson makes even less sense if the team isn’t able to provide him with adequate blindside protection, a reality which demands the Browns take a hard look at upgrading the offensive line before the 2024 season begins in September. But high-level left tackles aren’t just hanging around the free agent and trade markets ripe for the plucking by needy NFL offenses.
