Best ball ADP is already creating MAJOR fantasy football value … if you know where to look.

Matt Schauf and Jared Smola of DraftSharks.com break down their favorite 2026 best ball draft values by ADP range, using Draft Sharks rankings, 3D Values, and current Underdog Fantasy ADP.

We hit the early-round discount on Josh Jacobs, the loaded QB value zone, ideal TE picks, and much more.

These are best ball targets for Underdog drafts right now, but many could also become key fantasy football values for 2026 redraft leagues throughout the summer.
