Our Final Fantasy Draft of 2026 (Drafting OUR GUYS Only!)

No ADP. No rankings. Just doing a fantasy football draft where we get sixteen picks of players we actually want to root for in 2026 fantasy football. For the final draft of the 2026 preseason, Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet threw out the board and ran an Underdog best ball draft on one rule: only take guys you genuinely love. The result is a roster that would horrify a projections model and might just win the whole thing. It opens with Omarion Hampton and Saquon Barkley, then a receiver room built entirely on conviction — Garrett Wilson, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, Michael Pittman Jr., Xavier Worthy and Tre Harris. Tyler Warren at tight end. Justin Herbert under center, with Aaron Rodgers and Geno Smith stacked behind him. And a backfield of Rico Dowdle, Tyler Allgeier, Keaton Mitchell and Tank Bigsby that is either a masterclass in contingent value or a complete disaster, depending on how the season breaks. They explain every pick as they make it — why this player over the guy going ten spots later, where the ADP says they're reaching, and which of these they'd defend even if it costs them the week. If you've spent all August drafting scared, this is the palate cleanser. 🔍 Topics in this video: 2026 fantasy football, best ball, Underdog best ball, fantasy football draft, Omarion Hampton, Saquon Barkley, Garrett Wilson, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, Tyler Warren, Justin Herbert, Rico Dowdle, Michael Pittman Jr., Xavier Worthy, Tyler Allgeier, Keaton Mitchell, Tank Bigsby, Tre Harris, Aaron Rodgers, Geno Smith, fantasy football draft strategy, ADP, fantasy football sleepers ______________________ If you want more of Fantasy Life, check us out at FantasyLife.com, where all our analysis is free, smart, fun, and has won a bunch of awards.
