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.
3.04	Aaron Rodgers	QB	GB	While there is an argument on waiting on a QB these days, as the elite fantasy QB pool seems bigger than ever, it's still important to factor in Rodgers' 40TD potential. If you score 40TDs, something he can do during any old season, you can arguably have top 1-5 overall value in hindsight. I take Rodgers or Watson in the middle-to-late third-round without hesitation. Waiting on a Wentz or Brady is also a strong strategy, this is the season you can make any QB approach work if you plan correctly.
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

5.12	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

11.05	Kenny Golladay	WR	DET	This kid has HUGE upside, and that's why he sits on our Top 10 Bold Predictions list for 2018. Give it a read. He's a steal this late.
