C2C Startup ADP Exposed
C2C Startup ADP Exposed: Why Stacking Wide Receivers Is Your 2026 Cheat Code (And the Overhyped Names You Must Fade Now)
Every C2C startup starts the same way: fresh rosters, big dreams, and an ADP sheet that somehow always feels off. The latest Devy Devotional episode from John Arrington, Aaron Wilcox, and Andy Starr didn’t just review the current ADP—they tore it apart. They exposed the chaos in the middle rounds, celebrated the absurd WR depth, and dropped clear “buy low” and “fade hard” calls that could separate contenders from pretenders this offseason.
This isn’t hype. It’s a blueprint for winning startups and supplementals right now.
The Golden Rule for 2026 C2C Drafts: Just Keep Drafting Wide Receivers
The hosts were unanimous: the WR position in this class is stupidly deep and ridiculously undervalued past the early rounds. While managers chase QBs and RBs in Rounds 4-7, the real edge is stacking WRs from roughly WR10 through WR40.
Why? The talent gap between the 10th and 40th WR is smaller than at any other position—and many of these guys have legitimate NFL upside.
Standouts they hammered:
Charlie Becker (Indiana, WR30-ish): Yards per route run monster. Already a difference-maker in big games and coming back for more. Aaron drafted him late in the first round of a supplemental and called it a steal. All three hosts agreed—he should be going 15-20 spots higher.
Duce Robinson (WR36): Losing his QB is scary, but he’s been a proven producer. The hosts were floored he’s still sitting this late.
Other values: Cedarian Morgan (Alabama early enrollee), Mario Craver, Booby Feaster, Jayce Brown, KJ Duff, Omarian Miller (Arizona State), and even later names like Eric Singleton (Florida) and Wyatt Young.
Actionable takeaway: In your next C2C startup or supplemental, load up on WRs. Skip the dead-zone RBs and risky QBs. You can always circle back for Connor Wegman (QB37) or Deshaun Bishop (RB32) later.
Quarterbacks: Darian Mensah Is Being Robbed—And Freshman Hype Is Costing You
Darian Mensah (now at Miami after his Duke-to-portal saga) sitting at QB16 is “absolutely wild,” per John. He’s already produced at a high level, won an ACC title, and is heading to a loaded offense with elite weapons. Yet five-star freshmen and unproven transfers are going ahead of him.
The hosts’ QB hierarchy:
Buy: Darian Mensah (massive value), Faizon Brandon (Tennessee five-star at QB27—already shining in spring; could win the job as a freshman), CJ Carr.
Fade: Overhyped early-round freshmen like Dia Bell, Jared Curtis, and Keysean Henderson. The hit rate on five-star QBs is brutal.
Pro tip: Wait on QBs. The difference between QB5 and QB25 in C2C is often just one big season—and you can get that cheaper later.
Running Backs: Nate Frazier at RB12 Is the Definition of Helmet Scouting
The Georgia backfield is a mess right now, and Nate Frazier’s RB12 ADP is the clearest overvalue on the board. His big-time run rate is mediocre, and he’s far from the lead dog.
Stronger alternatives the hosts love:
Nate Sheppard (Duke): True freshman explosion. Already a proven producer.
Aneyas Williams (Notre Dame, RB25): Big-time run rate and breakaway yards are off the charts. Next man up in a premier CFF backfield.
Desean Bishop (Tennessee, RB32): Most explosive back eligible for the 2027 class. Andy’s favorite late-round dart.
Caden Durham (LSU) and Hollywood Smothers (Texas): Better upside than Frazier at cheaper prices.
Dead zone warning: From RB10 down, it’s chaos. Wait and pounce on the true values.
Tight Ends: DJ Vonnahme Is the Clear TE1—Don’t Sleep on Him
Freshman TE recruits are historically a trap (hit rate is abysmal). The hosts were skeptical of early hype on names like Mark Bowman and Ian Primmer.
Instead:
DJ Vonnahme (Iowa): Already the TE1 in their eyes. Elite yards per route run, emerging as Iowa’s top receiving option. Aaron and Andy both drafted him aggressively.
Jamari Johnson (Oregon): Stepping into a bigger role and already showed up in the playoffs.
Trey’Dez Green and Lincoln Cure? Too rich at their current ADPs.
Actionable note: If you want a TE, wait for proven production or high-floor veterans. Avoid the freshman lottery unless it’s a true blue-chip falling ridiculously late.
Your 2026 C2C Playbook: How to Win the Startup
Stack WRs aggressively through the middle rounds. The value is unmatched.
Wait on QBs and RBs. Producers like Darian Mensah, Faizon Brandon, Aneyas Williams, and Deshaun Bishop are going later than they should.
Target proven college producers over raw pedigree. Helmet scouting (Georgia, five-star freshmen) is burning managers.
In supplementals: Prioritize the names above—Charlie Becker, Deuce Robinson, Sedarian Morgan, Aneyas Williams, and DJ Vonnahme are still sliding in some leagues.
The middle of C2C drafts is littered with value if you know where to look. The managers who win aren’t the ones who chase the shiny new five-stars—they’re the ones who exploit the ADP inefficiencies.
Which of these values are you targeting in your next startup or supplemental? Drop your favorite late-round steal (or the ADP you think is the most broken) in the comments—the Devy streets are about to get loud.
