2026 Fantasy Football Undervalued QBs
Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (ADP: QB18)
Mayfield’s established production and secure starting role make QB18 an appealing price, even after Mike Evans’ departure. Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin still give Tampa Bay a capable receiving foundation, while vertical threat Jalen McMillan adds some zest. TE Cade Otton and a pair of pass-catching running backs can help with the underneath work to keep on schedule. The offense has emphasized building continuity under new coordinator Zac Robinson as he takes over from another Sean McVay disciple, which feels like a foreign concept after having a new play-caller in every season since Baker arrived. Mayfield’s aggressive style creates occasional volatility, but Tampa Bay’s defensive regression could increase his passing volume and help him produce another strong touchdown total, making him well worthy of a rotational QB selection.
Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers (ADP: QB28)
A reunion with Mike McCarthy gives Rodgers familiarity within Pittsburgh’s new offense, and the future Hall of Famer's return for one last hurrah means nothing will be left on the table -- unless Rodgers himself winds up on the mend given his geriatric status. DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. provide experienced targets, and Rodgers is protected by a rock-solid offensive line. Limited rushing production restricts his ceiling, but going as QB28 requires no conventional-league draft investment for a veteran capable of manning a QB2 superflex slot or covering an injury in what could be a renaissance effort.
