If you’re on the clock in the 15th round, you shouldn’t be thinking about getting unique with players who aren’t being drafted in every league. That’s too big of a reach.
But in the 19th round of a large-field best ball tournament like FFPC’s flagship tourney, it’s a winning strategy. That’s because it can separate our teams during the best ball playoffs. In other words, the real +EV bet is scrolling down for players who are not being drafted to avoid overlapping with other rosters via unique usability.
The following is an ETR aggregated list of unique players to scroll down for in the last two rounds of the 2026 Best Ball Tournament. This list will be updated weekly throughout the offseason as players gain steam and no longer meet the minimum 216 ADP threshold.
Did not meet the minimum threshold (but who our projections are high on in this range): Cade Otton, Pat Freiermuth, Denzel Boston, Alvin Kamara, Ryan Flournoy, Brian Robinson Jr., Omar Cooper Jr., Jauan Jennings, Jerry Jeudy, Sean Tucker, Calvin Ridley, Justice Hill, Mike Washington Jr., Colby Parkinson, Ray Davis, Germie Bernard
Players with an ADP of 216+ worth considering
Titans RB Nicholas Singleton (221.7)
Runners who play on passing downs have more “outs” to see the field in the regular season, and 219-pound Singleton earned a double-digit target share in his last two seasons (12.1% < 10%) with Penn State. He additionally averaged at least 1.5 yards per route run in his last three, flexing out to a slot or wide alignment on 20% of snaps.
Raiders TE Michael Mayer (223)
With only Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor fighting for targets behind Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer makes all too much sense in 4-TE builds, even if it’s merely as a contingency plan (for being targeted on 26.7% of his routes without Bowers on the field last year). Note that new Raiders HC Klint Kubiak used the league’s second-highest rate (40%) of multi-TE sets with the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks.
