The six below are all players the market is taking at least a round after our projections rank them, and each comes with a specific reason the price has fallen behind: an injury that has healed, a role that has grown, or a playoff series people remember more than a regular season.

Ranks are from our projections board, which values a player over the whole season including the games he is projected to miss, under ESPN's default scoring for points. ESPN draft prices are as read at the end of September.
