Imagine you’re drafting tomorrow in a 12-team PPR league. Who would be the top three bargains to target in the sixth round? The following is based on current average draft positions (ADPs).
Based on current values, this round is loaded with busts and short on bargains. But there are a small handful of nice upside options, starting with Tyler Warren (overall-64 / TE4 ADP). Even with backup QBs for the better part of five games, and even with a fully healthy Jonathan Taylor and a packed receiving corps co-led by now-ex-Colt Michael Pittman Jr., the rookie Warren carved out a 76-817-4 receiving line on a team-leading 112 targets.
In Year 2, that could easily jump to 85-1,000-8... or higher.
Meanwhile, Marvin Harrison Jr. (overall-66 / WR31 ADP) probably has nowhere to go but up after an injury-plagued 2025 campaign in which Michael Wilson challenged him for the alpha role. Harrison’s talent should keep him comfortably in the top 35. His ceiling is top 12-14. On balance, that makes him a relative steal.
How good or “bad” is Brian Thomas Jr.? The market doesn’t trust him, as suggested by his overall-71 / WR34 ADP. Yes, it’s a crowded WR room in Jacksonville. But even a wildly disappointing Thomas was last year’s WR42 in only 14 games. He had three or fewer receptions in eight of those outings. His floor is mostly assured. The question is how close he’ll come to the top 20. Given his price point, he’s a risk worth taking.
