Late round bestball clicks
Kenneth Gainwell – RB, Pittsburgh Steelers – ADP 126.3
Kenneth Gainwell made a real breakthrough in 2025. He totaled 187 touches and eight touchdowns and finished as the RB19 in fantasy points per game. Even more encouraging was his advantage: Gainwell ranked RB14 at the rate of weekly Top-5 finishes.

That jump didn’t happen by accident. After failing to finish better than RB44 in fantasy points per game over the past four seasons, Pittsburgh’s offensive scheme finally unlocked his versatility. Gainwell was used creatively and was heavily involved in the passing game, looking every bit like a Cordarrelle Patterson-style weapon. There is still room for optimism. Both he and quarterback Aaron Rodgers are currently free agents, but the market appears to be underestimating the likelihood of them returning to Pittsburgh in 2026. Continuity in that system would maintain Gainwell’s role and weekly cap.
Even if he signs elsewhere, his receiving profile travels around. Gainwell caught at least six passes in seven different games last season, highlighting a skill set that will yield snaps on any roster and provide built-in point-per-reception (PPR) value. In round 11 and then in bestball you not only sign for depth, but also for the top. Gainwell is a confident click at cost.
Rashid Shaheed – WR, Seattle Seahawks – ADP 140.7
Rashid Shaheed’s peak-week magic didn’t fully materialize after his trade to Seattle, but the ingredients for a breakthrough in 2026 are still firmly in place. The figures for 2025 were disappointing at first glance; Shaheed finished WR91 in Rate of FLEX Weeks, posting 12.5 half PPR points in just 7.6% of his games. However, that dip appears to be more of an outlier than a trend. In 2024, he ranked WR8 in Rate of FLEX Weeks, a dramatic contrast that strongly suggests positive regression is on the way.
Usage tells a more encouraging story. In his first nine games of 2025, Shaheed recorded at least four receptions and five goals in every game. The opportunity was there. What held him back was inconsistent, sometimes transgressive disastrousquarterback play in New Orleans before the trade. Efficiency suffered, not engagement. Now that he was a free agent, Shaheed could return to Seattle. However, with Jaxon Smith-Njigba expected to get a record extension and Shaheed likely looking for a three-year, $45 million deal, a reunion isn’t guaranteed. A new landing spot with steady quarterback play could easily reignite his weekly ceiling.
For a WR59 ADP, it will be located well below its established production floor. He has never finished worse than this ranking in fantasy points per game in his career. That’s a rare combination of safety and cost benefit.
Kayshon Boutte – WR, New England Patriots – ADP 154.9
Kayshon Boutte’s career got off to a quiet start, but 2025 was the year everything started to click. He jumped to WR39 in Rate of FLEX Weeks, from WR61 in 2024, and the tape backed up the numbers. Boutte consistently showed his ability to separate the field and win contested catches, converting vertical opportunities into impact plays. The advanced statistics make the outbreak even more convincing. Boutte ranked:
- No. 5 at the average target distance
- No. 8 in achievable target speed
- No. 1 in yards per target
- No. 1 in QB rating per target

That level of efficiency is not random. It points to real chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye and a clear role in taking New England’s passing attack to the next level. The offseason could create even more opportunities. With Stefon Diggs facing an uncertain future after failing to make the Super Bowl, Boutte is positioned for growth, especially if his route tree expands in 2026. Even if the team adds competition, he has already proven he can thrive in high-leverage vertical situations.
With a WR64 price tag, you’re signing it well below its proven upside. For teams looking to combine affordable FLEX weeks with splash-play potential, Boutte is an easy fit.
Kimani Vidal – RB, Los Angeles Chargers – ADP 176.3
Kimani Vidal is one of the most valuable handcuff running backs in the NFL, making his RB55 price tag (outside the top 175 overall) one of the most obvious inefficiencies on the market right now. When he got the chance in 2025, Vidal produced. He ranked RB19 in Rate of FLEX Weeks and had four weekly top-10 finishes. That’s not an empty volume. That is an advantage when you step into a larger role.
The Chargers saw firsthand what he could do when Omarion Hampton missed time, and Vidal answered the call with multiple impactful performances. There is little reason to believe the team is motivated to look for depth elsewhere after what he has shown. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect Vidal to overtake Hampton as the RB1 in Los Angeles. That’s not a wise bet. The bet is on conditional value.
Few backs offer this combination of proven production, a defined backup role and an explosive weekly ceiling at such a steep discount. At today’s price, you’re drafting a player who has already shown FLEX viability and top-10 upside when injuries strike. That kind of influence, this late in the concept stage, should not be ignored.
Tre Tucker – WR, Las Vegas Raiders – ADP 184.9
Many fantasy managers have forgotten that Tucker was a third-round pick in 2023. Players with that kind of draft capital and athletic profile don’t just disappear. He brings legitimate speed (4.40 in the forty) and 73rd percentile burst, giving him the explosiveness to win downfield and create chunk plays. Yes, he’s undersized, but his 2025 production shows his impact isn’t limited by his size. Tucker finished WR39 in the Best Ball Value Rating, proving he can return value even in volatile formats that require peak weeks. The usage statistics are even more encouraging:
- WR25 in deep target share
- WR21 in designed target share
- WR13 in goal separation
- WR34 in QB rating per target
That combination tells a clear story: it earns high-quality looks, creates space on its own and converts efficiently when aimed. Now factor in a potential quarterback upgrade with projected No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza in the 2026 NFL Draft, plus a revamped Raiders offensive scheme under head coach Klint Kubiak and OC Andrew Janocko (Seattle). Improved quarterback play and a modernized system could unlock even more of Tucker’s vertical and designed touch upside. The properties are there. The probability shows an upward trend. Tucker is a peak week waiting to happen.
