Outlook Justin Herbert
Rejuvenated Scheme and Rushing Mobility Present Major Draft Value
Justin Herbert enters 2026 spearheading an evolved Chargers attack under offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and head coach Jim Harbaugh. While Los Angeles lost starting center Tyler Biadasz for the season, Herbert has shown sharp preseason rhythm and deep chemistry with targets like Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.
Our projections expect a well-rounded campaign, estimating 3,800 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, and nearly 400 rushing yards. After producing a career-high 498 rushing yards in 2025, his enhanced mobility elevates his weekly floor within an efficient passing structure.
Draft market sentiment has cooled unexpectedly, with Herbert's ADP sliding from the mid-80s down past pick 125 over the last month. Our models view this shifting price as a prime value opportunity in 1.0 PPR formats, offering starting caliber production at a mid-to-late round discount.

Outlook Drake Maye
Elite Dual-Threat Upside Offers Exceptional Draft-Day Value
Following an exceptional 2025 campaign where he posted 4,688 passing yards and 32 touchdowns, Drake Maye enters his third season firmly established as one of the league's premier young passers. New England's aerial attack has upgraded considerably around him, featuring elite wideout A.J. Brown alongside dependable targets Hunter Henry and Romeo Doubs.
Our projections forecast another dominant campaign, projecting 4,250 passing yards, 32 touchdowns through the air, and 450 rushing yards with four scores on the ground. Maye's rushing mobility provides a rock-solid fantasy floor to pair with his explosive downfield efficiency and high passing ceiling.
Draft market sentiment has seen Maye's ADP drift from the mid-50s in July down toward the 80 mark entering September drafts. Given his top-five positional upside and 100% roster rate, this dipping cost makes Maye a premier draft-day value who can anchor fantasy lineups without requiring an early-round pick.
