Five Sleepers Going Too Late in 2026 Drafts

The last week of add activity tells you where the market is heading, but ADP tells you where it hasn't caught up yet. The gap between those two things is where you win drafts. Below are five players whose paths to volume are clearer than their current price suggests, plus the round to attack each one.

MarShawn Lloyd, RB, Green Bay

Lloyd is going in Round 11 (11.03) and has only been drafted eight times, which is absurd given he was added by nearly 18,000 managers in the last week. That combination — surging interest, buried ADP — is the exact profile you want. The Packers backfield is Josh Jacobs and a question mark behind him, and Lloyd is the highest-upside answer to that question.

The path is simple: any Jacobs absence or workload trim turns Lloyd into a weekly flex with standalone value. At an 11th-round cost you are risking nothing to hold the handcuff that matters most.

Isaiah Davis, RB, New York Jets

Davis led all players in adds over the past week at more than 77,000, yet he doesn't crack the top 140 in ADP. The market is buying him faster than drafts are pricing him. Breece Hall sits at 3.04 as the clear lead, but Hall's injury history is well documented, and Davis is the direct beneficiary if that changes.

This is a bet on volume waiting to happen. Grab him in the final rounds and you are holding a back who could open as the No. 2 in a run-first Jets scheme and step into RB2 range on one bad Sunday for the starter.

Malik Benson, WR, Las Vegas

Benson was the most-added wideout of the week at nearly 70,000, and teammate Jalen Nailor cracked the top 15 too. Both are undrafted in standard 12-team formats. The Raiders receiver room lacks a locked-in No. 2 behind their top option, and Benson's late-round speed profile gives him a real target-earning path in camp.

Jordyn Tyson, WR, New Orleans

Tyson is going at 7.06 with 221 drafts, sliding behind the Chris Olave conversation in New Orleans. Olave sits at 2.12 but has his own durability questions, and the Saints target tree thins out quickly after him. Tyson is the cheapest way to buy into that offense's secondary volume.

• ▸Round 7 cost for a potential Week 1 starter
• ▸Clear target path if the WR1 misses time
• ▸Ascending name with room to move up boards
• ▸Zero opportunity cost at that ADP

Justice Hill, RB, Baltimore

Hill was added by more than 16,000 managers last week and remains outside the top 140. Derrick Henry goes at 2.03 and carries the load, but Baltimore's passing-down and change-of-pace role has standalone PPR value, and Henry's age makes the insurance worth owning. Hill is the sneaky-safe end-of-draft dart in that backfield.

The best late-round picks are the ones the waiver market is already fighting over — you just get them a week early and for free.

None of these five costs you a pick that matters. Lloyd in Round 11, Hill and Davis at the end, Benson as a last-round flier, and Tyson as your fifth or sixth receiver. Stack a couple onto your bench and let the season sort out which one hits.
