With this information, we can get a better sense of changes in the collective perceptions of fantasy football owners (mock drafters); in essence, it's a version of fantasy stock up/down for players. If a player is moving up the ADP chart, it may lead us to using a higher pick than his current ADP to make sure we secure a targeted player.
Of course, a player's ADP (and movement) is just one (small) piece in determining who to draft and our strategy used to assemble a fantasy roster.
For purposes of our weekly comparison(s), we use ADP data from 12-team mock drafts from Fantasy Football Calculator:
| Biggest Risers (Absolute Terms) | ||
| Pos. | Player | ADP change |
|---|---|---|
| QB | * Ryan Tannehill, Miami Dolphins | -7.7 (162.5 on 7/30; 154.8 on 8/6) |
| RB | Jacquizz Rodgers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers | -19.0 (118.5 on 7/30; 99.5 on 8/6) |
| WR | Tyrell Williams, Los Angeles Chargers John Ross, Cincinnati Bengals | -6.8 (107.6 on 7/30; 100.8 on 8/6) -6.8 (142.7 on 7/30; 135.9 on 8/6) |
| TE | Antonio Gates, Los Angeles Chargers | -8.6 (154.0 on 7/30; 145.4 on 8/6) |
[Note: Negative numbers mean the player's ADP is improving (i.e., being drafted earlier) and vice versa.]
* Additional note: Ryan Tannehill is likely to miss the entire season as the Dolphins signed Jay Cutler to a $10 million contract on Sunday.
