Sleepers & busts
Standard-scoring specific: where the format changes the price, August 4, 2026.
Sleepers
- David Montgomery, RB, HOU — RT standard RB23 with an 11-TD projection; drafters are lagging the move to Houston. RTSports std, Aug 4
- Javonte Williams, RB, DAL — RT standard RB12 with 14 projected TDs; priced well below that on most boards. RTSports std, Aug 4
- Davante Adams, WR, LAR — #40 → #33 overall in standard; a 10-TD profile on just 891 yards is a non-PPR feature, not a bug. FFC std ADP, Aug 4
- Alec Pierce, WR, IND — Deep-TD role that catch-heavy formats systematically discount; standard prices him closer to reality. FP std cross-check, Aug 4
Busts & overpriced
- Jalen Hurts, QB, PHI — Coming off his first single-digit rushing-TD season, and A.J. Brown is gone; the standard board still has him QB5. Research flag, Aug 4
- Bucky Irving, RB, TB — His value was reception-built; standard is his worst format. Research flag, Aug 4
- RJ Harvey, RB, DEN — Dobbins re-signed and Coleman drafted; the path narrowed after draft season priced him up. Research flag, Aug 4
- Harold Fannin Jr., TE, CLE — Rookie target competition; outside the FFC standard top 130. FFC std ADP, Aug 4
Rookie watch

Standard draft strategy
What the August 4 cross-source data says about drafting non-PPR in 2026.
Running back is the first-round position again
Ten of RTSports’ standard top 15 overall are RBs. Without the reception bonus, the bellcow-and-goal-line profile is the scarcest asset in fantasy — the 1.01–1.05 range is almost entirely backs.
RTSports 2026 Draft Guide Standard, Aug 4
Draft touchdowns, not targets
Henry (14 proj TD), Javonte Williams (14), Montgomery (11), Adams (10-TD profile on 891 yards) — standard pays for the end zone. Possession WRs like Wan’Dale Robinson (−24) and reception backs like Jaylen Warren and Aaron Jones are systematically overpriced by PPR-calibrated ADP.
FFC standard ADP / RT std, Aug 4
Tight end premium flips to tight end patience
Only Bowers and McBride crack the FFC standard top 100 — versus four TEs in the PPR top 60. McBride falls 43 spots in the format. In standard, waiting on TE is the default, not the contrarian play.
FFC standard ADP, Aug 4
Quarterbacks climb — watch the 6-pt trap
QBs rise as catch-dependent players fall (Allen #33 → #25). But RTSports standard scores 6 points per pass TD — that’s what lifts Burrow (39 proj TD) and Goff (36) on its board. In a 4-pt league, shade its QB ranks down a notch.
RT std vs FFC/FP std, Aug 4
