As fantasy football draft day approaches,Blake Preston it's time to put the finishing touches on your preseason prep. Oftentimes, chasing the hot rookies and this season's trendy breakout picks won't necessarily be the best way to go. So don't overlook the boring old players and consistently productive veterans who will add more value to a fantasy roster than meets the eye.

Here are some of the best value picks for the upcoming season (ADPs from all August drafts, courtesy of NFFC):

QUARTERBACK

Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets (ADP: 127): Currently QB17 in this month's drafts, the grizzled veteran presents plenty of profit potential, even though his ADP appears to be on the rise.

RUNNING BACK

Brian Robinson Jr., Washington Commanders (ADP: 100): For a talented starting back who has enjoyed the benefit of a full offseason, his spot as the 35th running back off the board is criminal.

WIDE RECEIVER 

K.J. Osborn, Minnesota Vikings (ADP 157): Being drafted as WR62 -- opposite Justin Jefferson and in a pass-first offense -- is more a reflection of rookie Jordan Addison being overvalued.

TIGHT END

Dalton Schultz, Houston Texans (ADP: 128): Barely checking in as a TE1 in ADP, Schultz has top-5 PPR potential with a rookie quarterback and a weak wide receiver group.

KICKER

Brandon McManus, Jacksonville Jaguars (ADP: 256): Accuracy woes last season were partly a factor of him attempting so many 50-plus-yarders. The veteran is in a good system for a rebound.

DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS

Houston Texans (ADP: 275): Finished last season under the old regime as the No. 10 fantasy defense. With massive personnel upgrades and a suspect division, the Texans should flourish under a defensive-minded new head coach DeMeco Ryans.
