PFF FANTASY DRAFTMASTERS & CURRENT ADP (v 2.0)


Continued thanks to Jim Day (@Fantasytaz) for lining up DraftMasters at www.myfantasyleague.com, as they are the basis for my data to date.  Other sites such as Fantasy Football Calculator   are solid sources for ADP data later in the season, but now most drafts on their site are filled with computer selections. 

I now am aggregating results from 9 different drafts and the basic scoring is 4 points per passing TD, 6 points for rushing/receiving and 1 point per reception.  The sample size is small but still enough to get an early read on where the fantasy community values certain players.  I will continue to update the progress of the DraftMasters in the coming days so check back often.  Below are the current top 50 picks with ADP’s. 

Quick Notes:

1.      Adrian Peterson is the consensus first pick in 2013 going 1st in all 9 drafts
2.      Arian Foster was the second pick in each draft except when Spiller was chosen ahead of him one time.
3.      Calvin Johnson remains first WR off the board with an ADP of 5.9, but was taken as late as 9th in one league.  A.J. Green is the clear number two WR and being selected at the end of the first round with an ADP of 11.7.
4.      Doug Martin has taken over the “who’s next?” position as the 3rd running back off the board.  Trent Richardson previously was the #3 and I am sure we will continue to see this change in the coming weeks and months. 
5.      Rob Gronkowski remains the 1st TE taken in drafts with an average ADP of 17.7, though Jimmy Graham was selected before the fun-loving Gronk in one draft.
6.      Stevan Ridley’s ADP has fallen 9 spots to 21.7 after being drafts as high as 12th in two early drafts, but no higher than 24th in the last four.
7.       A quarterback was finally taken in the 1st round as Aaron Rodgers was selected 12th overall in a recent DraftMaster.  Rodgers continues to be the first QB selected, but his ADP of 22.4 still suggests last season’s strategy of build on your stud QB is likely to not be repeated. 
8.       An overall strategy of RB RB is looking solid early on seeing that after pick 36 (end of the 3rd round) the next available RBs are usually Ryan Mathews, Lamar Miller, Stevan Jackson and Mikel Leshoure.
