Been using it for a decade. Not going to argue its validity. JuJu will be going somewhere around where he is listed there (2.05). I'll check back in August to see that I'm right.

I'll give the answer for the guy you are replying to. I find it's always best to review a sites methodology for their data so you can then determine how useful it can be to you. Per FFC site: ADP: Average Draft Position (ADP) is a list of NFL players ordered by their average position taken in fantasy football drafts. The average value of their draft position is taken over a range of many drafts. Computer selections are filtered out, and only human selections are considered. Useful for fantasy draft preparation. So if you think about the milions of mocks that people do on that site and assume a healthy number of them quit after the 3rd rd, u can determine that the top 24 players are the true consensus or herd value whereas the later rounds are heavily skewed by the few who actually go the distance; which is where you can find the real value vs your opponents on draft day.

FFC gets more accurate the closer you get to the season. I bet by July or so most FF folks will be jumping into drafts and negate all the trolls selecting kickers first. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually am not looking too hard at ADP this time of year, and going by the paid sites is making sense to me when put that way at this point in the season. Still using FFC come draft time, however. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My team profited well from people pushing down Mixon-Adams-edelman last year Edelman’s suspension being upheld pushed his adp down...but didn’t adp’s for Mixon & Adams get higher as the season approached-?

I don't think there was massive movement in Mixon/adams ADP from TC-season start given their situations were pretty much set in stone. Any DP movement was more than likely in a +/- 4 margin vs players in the same skills position ; it wasn't like either one of th moved up 10 spots on the draft board. They were however cheap in auctions compared to AB-obj-hopkins-zeke-barkley etc. in some cases up to 40% haircuts to the tier1 players. Say zeke/cmc traded for $65 in a 12 man $200 auction format , you could have acquired Mixon for $35-40. Auctions are always irrational and mispriced when live compared to ADP rankings Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven’t come across anything to back that claim of falling prices/draft positions before last season. yeah are looking for a debate that isnt there mate. So i'll sum it up for you, let's take Adams as an example. Adams was not priced as a top 5 wr according to the consensus ADP because there was fear/uncertainty. I had him ranked as a top5 early on in this forum where i stated i would take adams+allen to finish in the top5 ahead of obj+hopkins. The consensus held true to form on draft day those around me paid up for AB-OBJ-Hopkins and Adams fell to me for a very nice discount. Aaron rodgers wr1 being priced as the #10-12 wr off the board is a fallen angel in my book. 😚 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
