One of the biggest fantasy football draft strategies is navigating the turn. As we find ourselves in the midst of draft season, there’s much new information to be uncovered. While training camp is important, and there are always a few names that surprise, you pretty much have your strategy nailed down. You have your Consistency Guide, you’ve done your research, you’ve mock drafted. It’s almost that time. However, I’m going to provide one last pre-draft series that will show you where to find consistency if you’re picking in those dreaded turns.
Ahh yes, the dreaded turn. Some love it, some hate it. Whether you’re a fan or not, I’m going to show you which of those turns is going to find you the most consistency bang for your buck on draft day!

Rounds 7/8 Picks 84 and 85
*Two turns here because these guys fall right in the middle.
Possible targets based on current ADP
Tucker Kraft – Pick 70, TE5, 2025 Consistency Rank #3 (63%)
Kraft missed most of 2025 with an ACL tear, but was still one of the most consistent options when in the lineup. All signs point to him being ready to go Week 1, and he still figures to be a huge part of the Green Bay offense. Expect him to be just as consistent as last season, and for the price, it could be one of the biggest values on Draft Day.
Sam LaPorta – Pick 76, TE6, 2025 Consistency Rank #8 (56%)
Like Kraft, LaPorta missed a chunk of the 2025 season due to a herniated disc. That said, he was still a Top 8 option on our board, and remains a big part of the Lions offense when healthy, but that’s the issue. Despite the injury, the value is still solid here if you miss out on the top tight ends.
Kyle Pitts – Pick 77, TE7, 2025 Consistency Rank #10 (53%)
Pitts is coming off his best season as a pro, and the season we waited for so long finally happened. However, does it become the norm? I’m not convinced just yet. Pair that with the shaky QB situation in ATL, and Pitts is probably my least favorite option at this turn. Try and land one of the other options here.
Harold Fannin Jr. – Pick 80, TE8, 2025 Consistency Rank #7 (56%)
Fannin should return TE1 value at a great price in 2026. Cleveland has improved the WR room, and while the options are young, they’re talented. That should open things up for Fannin a bit and take some pressure off him. However, like Atlanta, the Cleveland QB room doesn’t give me much confidence. I do believe in Fannin, and I feel he’s in a better situation at a lower price than Pitts.
