Hello, everybody.

Welcome into the Fantasy Pro's channel.

I am Ryan Warmly, joined by Derek Brown and by Jake Sealy from The Athletic.

Today we are giving you six players going to the mid-rounds of drafts that we see as must-have.

These are players that we're kind of aiming for like that 50 to 100 range in overall

rankings in half PPR. You can check out the consensus rankings and tiers at fantasy

pros.com slash rankings for those expert consensus rankings. But again, kind of aiming for that

50 to 100 range. If we go a little bit on another side, that's fine too. But our mid-round must

haves in 2026 drafts, Dbrose bro starting with you first guy i got to talk about

here man mike evans wide receiver 26 53rd overall and this is only because people are worried about

injuries and they're worried about downside and all that kind of stuff they're not shooting for the

upside with mike evans man he he is not washed he is not old all this of stuff. I'm not worried about any of that. We're talking about a wide receiver that was second and separation score and route win rate last year. He goes to an offense that had the eighth most red zone scoring attempts per game. Why is he languishing in the middle rounds? Because people are worried about hamstring issues and all

those other kind of stuff. The broken collarbone is what left him out last year. It wasn't the hamstring

stuff. And if you go back before the 2025 season, dealt with the broken collarbone. He had never

played less than 13 games in any season. You go back to 2020, never less than 14 games in any

season. And Mike Evans going back again to the he is not washed.

When he was on the field last year, guys, 24.4% target share, 30.6% first read share.

He was crushing in a first downs per route run.

The problem was he wasn't getting any catchable targets from Baker Mayfield.

He had a 70.9% catchable target rate out of 109 qualifying wide receivers.
