Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet run a full PPR redraft 2026 fantasy football mock draft — every pick, every round, and the reasoning behind all of it.

No gimmicks and no exotic format here. This is the draft you're actually doing in a few weeks: standard PPR scoring, ESPN ADP, a normal redraft league, and the real decisions you'll be staring at when the clock is running. Kendall and Pete take turns on the board and explain each selection as they go, including the ones where they'd have gone a different direction.

It starts with James Cook in the first round and Chase Brown in the second, and gets genuinely interesting in Round 3, where maybe they went to heavy at the running back position. If you want a sense of how a draft actually flows — where the runs happen, when to take a position early, and which players are worth reaching for versus waiting on — this walks through all of it in real time.

Kendall Valenzuela is joined by Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet to go through Dwain's 2026 wide receiver rankings — not as a flat list, but in tiers. This is Part 1 of 2, covering the first four tiers and the 15 receivers Dwain considers true WR1s.Are Ja'Marr Chase and Puka Nacua really in a class of their own, or has someone closed the gap? Where does Jaxon Smith-Njigba land after his breakout, and does Amon-Ra St. Brown or CeeDee Lamb come off the board first? Then the group Dwain thinks is the most misunderstood range on the board — Justin Jefferson, Malik Nabers, Drake London, Nico Collins, A.J. Brown and Rashee Rice — where the gap between name value and projection gets uncomfortable. And the last group of the day sorts out DeVonta Smith, George Pickens, Chris Olave and Tee Higgins, where you can still get WR1 production without paying WR1 prices.Every player comes with Dwain's per-game projection and an Xfinity best-case ceiling, so you're not just hearing an opinion — you're seeing the range of outcomes that put each guy where he is. Kendall and Pete push back throughout on the ones they'd rank differently. Part 2 goes deeper down the board, so subscribe and come back for the rest.

Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet count down the 10 biggest wide receiver values in 2026 fantasy football — the guys where Fantasy Life's rankings are furthest ahead of where the rest of the industry is drafting them. Every name comes with the actual gap: our rank versus ESPN, Yahoo, Sleeper, Underdog and RT Sports ADP, so you can see exactly how much free value you're getting at each pick.The list runs from a five-spot edge all the way up to a 21-spot gap on the No. 1 value, and the names span every round of your draft. Malik Nabers, DeVonta Smith and Mike Evans are all going later than they should be. Jordyn Tyson, Christian Watson and Jayden Reed are the mid-round swings. And then there's the late-round group — Stefon Diggs, Romeo Doubs, Josh Downs and De'Zhaun Stribling — where the disagreement between us and the market gets the widest.We also break down the projections behind each call: targets per game, receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns, so you're not just taking our word for it. If you want to walk into your draft knowing which receivers you can wait on and still get a rank you love, this is the list.
