Legal tampering opened Monday, and the market moved fast. Kenneth Walker signed with Kansas City. Mike Evans landed in San Francisco. Isaiah Likely got a $40 million deal from the Giants. Travis Etienne joined New Orleans on a four-year, $52 million contract.
Several of these players are massively mispriced right now. Here is where to attack your draft board before the market corrects.
Kenneth Walker Is a First-Round Talent at a Third-Round Price
Walker projects for 237.6 points, and that number was calculated when he was still a Seahawk. In Kansas City, it only goes up.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Walker signed a three-year deal worth up to $45 million with $28.7 million fully guaranteed. He steps in immediately as the Chiefs' lead back -- Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt are both headed to free agency. Walker averaged 23.4 half-PPR points per game during the postseason and capped it with a Super Bowl MVP performance. KC's offense finished top five in scoring in 2025.
His ADP sits at 41. With Patrick Mahomes returning from December knee surgery and Travis Kelce back on a one-year deal, Walker inherits a workhorse role inside an elite offensive ecosystem. This is first-round production at a mid-round price. Draft him now.
Mike Evans at ADP 117 Is the Steal of the Offseason
Evans projects for 235.9 points. That output puts him in the same tier as Emeka Egbuka (232 projected) and above Drake London (225.3) -- players going 75 to 100 picks ahead of him.
The health concern is real. Evans missed most of 2025 with a hamstring injury and broken collarbone. But when healthy, he commanded a 24.4% target share and a 28% target rate per route run in Tampa Bay. Eleven consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. Six Pro Bowl selections. Now he joins Brock Purdy, who projects for 300.58 points, in an offense built for perimeter playmakers.
At ADP 117, Evans is essentially free. If he plays 14-plus games, this is a league-winning pick. Draft.
Isaiah Likely Got Paid Like a Starter and Nobody Noticed
The Giants gave Likely a $40 million deal to be their TE1. He is being drafted at ADP 158.
In his best Baltimore season, Likely posted 42 catches for 477 yards and 6 touchdowns on fewer than 60 targets -- as the second tight end behind Mark Andrews. In New York, he owns the role outright.
Tight end is a wasteland outside the top tier. A player with Likely's red-zone efficiency and a guaranteed starting job at ADP 158 is the kind of late-round swing that wins leagues. Draft him as your TE2 with TE1 upside.
Bucky Irving at ADP 23 Is Overpriced
Irving's 219.8 projected points at 12.93 PPG were built on a workhorse assumption. That assumption just cracked.
Kenneth Gainwell signed with Tampa Bay after a breakout 2025 in Pittsburgh: 1,023 yards from scrimmage, 8 total touchdowns, and 85 targets. He caught 73 passes for 486 yards -- the kind of pass-catching production that eats directly into Irving's PPR floor.
Irving missed seven games last season with foot and shoulder injuries and posted just one rushing touchdown on 173 carries. Tampa Bay clearly felt they needed a complement. At ADP 23, you are paying a second-round price for a back who will split passing-down work. Fade.
Travis Etienne in New Orleans Is Underpriced
Etienne signed a four-year, $52 million deal with the Saints. That kind of commitment signals workhorse intent.
He has surpassed 1,000 rushing yards in three of the last four seasons. His 132.9 projected points were calculated as a Jaguar in a crowded backfield. In New Orleans, Alvin Kamara is dealing with a knee issue and Kendre Miller is rehabbing a torn ACL. Etienne projects as the clear lead back in Kellen Moore's offense.
At ADP 83, you are getting a potential three-down back at a mid-range RB2 price. The contract tells the story. Draft.
The Bottom Line
Free agency created five clear value gaps your league mates have not spotted yet. Walker, Evans, and Likely are underpriced. Irving is overpriced. Etienne is sneaky value at 83.
