July 2017 ADP Rankings
Below you will find a fresh set of 2017 ADP Rankings (Average Draft Position), which was compiled using an average of some of the best ADP Data lists out there. For most every fantasy player inside the top 70 overall, I have provided fantasy football commentary/analysis. This ADP Data is redraft-based and based on a mix of PPR and non-PPR. Enjoy.
2017 ADP Rankings
Updated: 7/5/17
| ADP | As of 8/18/18 | Pos | Team | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.01 | Todd Gurley | RB | LAR | While there are 3-4 players worth the 1.01, it's hard to argue against Gurley in 2018. |
| 1.02 | LeVeon Bell | RB | PIT | Hard to argue taking the stud anywhere in the top 1-4 overall. He has taken a beating, but I'd easily invest a 1.01 on him in at least one league if let's say I had the 1.01 in a few different drafts. |
| 1.03 | Ezekiel Elliott | RB | DAL | As said with LBell, if I had the 1.01 in let's say three drafts, I would grab Zeke with one of those 1.01 selections. I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket, but in one league I would absolutely take the chance. That gives you a feel for the mix of risk and reward that comes along with him in 2018. |
| 1.04 | David Johnson | RB | ARI | In PPR, he is arguably the 1.01. Many forget how awesome he is in PPR, and even non-PPR... his ADP has sat this low, or lower, all off-season long. Take full advantage! |
| 1.05 | Antonio Brown | WR | PIT | Easily top 1-4 for all WRs in all formats, and 1-2 for me in redraft. He has 1.01 value in PPR, yet his ADP seems to be settling in around 1.06-1.07 this year, which is fantastic value. |
| 1.06 | Alvin Kamara | RB | NO | With M-Ingram starting the season suspended, Kamara will kickoff the year with more touches than he can handle. this should spell top 1-5 fantasy start for the rusher, and if healthy, I think he finishes in that range, if healthy, on the year. |
| 1.07 | DeAndre Hopkins | WR | HOU | Top 1-3 capable at WR, he easily deserves a top 5-7 overall pick. |
| 1.08 | Saquon Barkley | RB | NYG | He could be the 1.01 in all drafts and formats this time next year. Top 5RB numbers as a rookie is possible. |
| 1.09 | Leonard Fournette | RB | JAX | I call for potential bust out of Fournette this year. The expectations are just too high for a player that has a proven injury history. He takes so much abuse with his rushing style, one that doesn't bring in a ton of PPR love either. |
| 1.10 | Kareem Hunt | RB | KC | He is probably the safest late first-round pick this year, as he has top 3-5RB appeal. |
| 1.11 | Melvin Gordon | RB | LAC | He and Hunt are quite underrated ranking in in at the tail-end of the first-round in most mocks/early drafts. Both are quite secure, and while you woudn't likely land both with bookend picks this year, if you can trade your 2nd-round pick and move it up to a 1.09 type pick so that you can walk out of a 2018 draft with Hunt and Gordon as your RBs. |
| 1.12 | Odell Beckham Jr | WR | NYG | Some might say you can't get a steal in the top 12, but Beckham has 1.01 overall upside and can be had at the bottom of the first-round. That's tremendous value, folks. |
| 2.01 | Dalvin Cook | RB | MIN | This feels high, but he can certainly earn this value. He has PPR upside that only 1-2 backs can rival in 2018. |
| 2.02 | Michael Thomas | WR | NO | Thomas should grab enough TDs this year to put him in top 2-5WR value. |
| 2.03 | Julio Jones | WR | ATL | Underrated given he has as much upside as any WR this year. He makes a fine WR to grab going WR/WR with first and second round picks this year. |
| 2.04 | Devonta Freeman | RB | ATL | Freeman has top 5-10 overall appeal, yet he can be had at this value, which means he's low-risk and high-reward. |
| 2.05 | Jordan Howard | RB | CHI | In PPR, this is still value Howard can earn. But, there are a few safer picks if you ask us. |
| 2.06 | Davante Adams | WR | GB | He can grab 10TDs this year, and that's a conservative estimate. If he plays 16 games and Rodgers stays healthy. |
| 2.07 | AJ Green | WR | CIN | Top 3-6WR capable, making him a steal here. |
| 2.08 | Keenan Allen | WR | LAC | While we like Allen, I think it's too risky to make him a second-drafted player. We get most will disagree, but there are just safer options, like a Devonta Freeman or an AJ Green. |
| 2.09 | Mike Evans | WR | TB | Top 5-7WR capable, which makes him a steal near the tail-end of the 2nd. He does have about as much risk as upside, though, which explains his fall in ADP. |
| 2.10 | Christian McCaffrey | RB | CAR | McCaffrey, if he stays healthy, should have a top 5-10RB season in PPR. His ceiling is much higher than a low second-round pick. |
| 2.11 | Joe Mixon | RB | CIN | Top 10RB capable, but he makes for a safer third-drafted player. |
| 2.12 | Derrick Henry | RB | TEN | Henry is safer later on, so try to let him slip further, this way he has less risk but still top 10RB upside. |
| 3.01 | LeSean McCoy | RB | BUF | Will he face any kind of punishment for what's being said in the news regarding the robbery/violence against his former ex-girlfriend. |
| 3.02 | Rob Gronkowski | TE | NE | Not risk-free value, but also not bad. |
| 3.03 | Tyreek Hill | WR | KC | This feels high, but like TY Hilton and Stefon Diggs, Hill is a speed specialist that can earn this value. Hill is one of those guys that feels like a reach when you grab him at this value, but at season's end, he finishes at a spot worth the price tag. |
| 6.01 | Aaron Rodgers | QB | GB | Will Rodgers ever again be the kind of QB that can toss for 40TDs in a given season? It's time to start considering only Lamar Jackson, Pat Mahomes and Deshaun Watson 40TD capable. |
| 3.05 | Jerick McKinnon | RB | SF | His value is dropping maybe into the 4th-round, so let him slide a bit in your draft. He is worth a 4th without much question. |
| 3.06 | Doug Baldwin | WR | SEA | A bit high for me, although he seems to prove doubters wrong every year. |
| 3.07 | Stefon Diggs | WR | MIN | Elite season is in the cards, but try to get him as a 4th-round pick. |
| 3.08 | Adam Thielen | WR | MIN | A bit high given all the mouths to feed in MIN this season. We like Diggs more. |
| 3.09 | Travis Kelce | TE | KC | With Mahomes tossing him the ball, Kelce finally holds 10+ TD appeal. Given he has 80 reception, 1000-yard upside as well, this screams one of the bigger steals in 2018. |
| 3.10 | TY Hilton | WR | IND | Even more solid value if you let him slip into the 4th. |
| 3.11 | Jay Ajayi | RB | PHI | A bit high. Huge upside, but likely more risk than upside here in the 3rd... let him fall about 10-12 picks more, then he has strong appeal vs. risk. |
| 3.12 | Josh Gordon | WR | CLE | He is likely to play this year, and early on, but there is always risk with him. So, don't draft him as your third-drafted player, and you shouldn't have to. He has strong upside much later on in a draft. |
| 4.01 | Alex Collins | RB | BAL | A bit high, but he's one tough runner. |
| 4.02 | Kenyan Drake | RB | MIA | I like that his value is dropping, it lowers the risk, and provides more upside given the cost. |
| 4.03 | Amari Cooper | WR | OAK | Decent value for a guy we once had in our top 5-8 for WRs. |
| 4.04 | Deshaun Watson | QB | HOU | The guy has upside for 4000 yards, 35+TDs (with 500/4+ TD rushing upside) and he holds a 3.10 ADP. Does anyone else not see possibly "steal of all 2018" right here? |
| 4.05 | Lamar Miller | RB | HOU | |
| 4.06 | Brandin Cooks | WR | LAR | |
| 4.07 | Zach Ertz | TE | PHI | |
| 4.08 | JuJu Smith-Schuster | WR | PIT | |
| 4.09 | Royce Freeman | RB | DEN | |
| 4.10 | Alshon Jeffery | WR | PHI | |
| 4.11 | Mark Ingram | RB | NO | |
| 4.12 | Allen Robinson | WR | CHI | |
| 5.01 | Jimmy Graham | TE | GB | |
| 5.02 | Sony Michel | RB | NE | |
| 5.03 | Demaryius Thomas | WR | DEN | |
| 5.04 | Tom Brady | QB | NE | With a 5th-round ADP, there is a lot to like about drafting Tom Brady in 2018. He can easily be a top 12 overall scorer and top 1-5QB. He still has the skill, even if just for 1-2 more seasons, or even 1.5 seasons. I love this value in 2018. |
| 5.05 | Rashaad Penny | RB | SEA | |
| 5.06 | Larry Fitzgerald | WR | ARI | |
| 5.07 | Jordy Nelson | WR | OAK | |
| 5.08 | Ronald Jones | RB | TB | |
| 5.09 | Drew Brees | QB | NO | |
| 5.10 | Russell Wilson | QB | SEA | |
| 5.11 | Marvin Jones | WR | DET | |
| 5.12 | Greg Olsen | TE | CAR | |
| 6.01 | Evan Engram | TE | NYG | |
| 6.02 | Carlos Hyde | RB | CLE | |
| 6.03 | Carson Wentz | QB | PHI | What a steal. The guy is my #2 QB for the future, and still floating around the 2-4 range for redraft. He and Watson are the future. It's nice to see him undervalued heading into 2018 drafts! |
| 6.04 | Golden Tate | WR | DET | |
| 6.05 | Marshawn Lynch | RB | OAK | |
| 6.06 | Jarvis Landry | WR | CLE | |
| 6.07 | Tevin Coleman | RB | ATL | |

Smitty,
I used to use FFS as my go to draft board with the projections and the listing based upon my teams projected points, and won 2 of my 3 leagues last year. I used this site as well and your top 10 breakouts, etc. What’s the best tool to use for that on SleeperU regarding custom points? Is it the mock draft board? Is there anything that can combine the projections with your mock draft board, so I can figure out what’s my best option with available guys?
Thanks,
Rob
When will this be updated???
I’ll update one in the next 24 hours.
