ADP Review of 2022 Fantasy Football Prep: Best Values ​​by Stream, Rookie, Retreat, Goals, More

There was quite a bit of fantasy drafts taking place over the past couple of days over the last weekend in August, which also coincided with the end of the pre-season games. It’s a great time to study average draft position data heading into the final stretch of draft season.

While we still have many things to watch this week when it comes to health, NFL roster moves and deep charts, most Fantasy managers know what to expect for the upcoming season. This has been reflected in recent drafts.

I’ll give you my favorites and least favorites in each position based on the CBS Sports ADP (insert link here), and hope this helps find some players to target - and others to avoid - for those of you who are still drafting before the regular season starts on September 8th.

quarterback

good values

Russell Wilson: ADP 71.2, QB11
Dak Prescott: ADP 72.9, QB12
Derek Carr: ADP 92.9, QB13
Tri-lance: ADP 98.1, QB14
Kirk Cousins: ADP 98.2, QB15

My rankings for these players are Wilson (QB8), Lance (QB9), Prescott (QB10), Cousins ​​(QB13) and Carr (QB14), and I would like any of them to be a fancy option to start this year. I’d like to recruit all of these guys before Aaron Rodgers, who is a QB9 based on his ADP. …Wilson is the safest of the bunch and has a massive upside as a Denver regular, and Lance could be the league winner as a top-five quarterback. 49ers. Lance could also fail due to his inexperience, and is the only midfield player I’ve ranked in the top 10 should be drafted with a backup option. …I love pairing Lance and Cousins ​​or Carr, both of the best sleepers I’ve had this season because of their value and pros. Cousins ​​benefits with new coach Kevin O’Connell, and Carr should have a career season with Davante Adams now in Las Vegas. …I expected Prescott to go down with the injury to the left Tyron Smith (hamstring), but I still love Prescott as the No. 1 fantasy quarterback this year. If it keeps slipping, you should take advantage of it.

bad values

Joe Burrow: ADP 58.6, QB8
Aaron Rodgers: ADP 64.6, QB9
Matthew Stafford: ADP 69.5, QB10

We’ve done this a few times with Burrow based on amplified ADP, which varies for different websites. He’s been as loud as a QB4 this off season, and I can’t recruit him at that price. His ADP on CBS is closer to his worth, but I wouldn’t work on it before Wilson or even Lance if you’re chasing the upside. Burrow is a strong fantasy quarterback this year, but don’t reach for it. …the same goes for Rodgers, who lost two of his best receivers at Adams and the Marquis Valdes-Scantling. While the latter is replaceable, we’ll see how Rodgers does without Adams for an entire season. I still love him as a fantasy rookie, but I’d rather go with Rodgers than target him on draft day. It’s out of my top 10 this year. … Stafford seems clear from the elbow injury that frightened the directors of Fantasy - and it probably is rams At the beginning of the training camp. Still something to watch and could be a concern again during the season, which is why Stafford was lower in my ratings (QB12) than his ADP. Like Burrow and the Rodgers, I’ll be happy with Stafford as my starting quarterback this season, but I’m not trying to get to him at that price.

running their back

good values

D’Andre Swift: ADP 24.4, RB14
Travis Etienne: ADP 51.4, RB22
Damon Pierce: ADP 64.2, RB26
Antonio Gibson: ADP 85.1, RB32
Chase Edmonds: ADP 92.1, RB36
Raminder Stephenson: ADP 97.4, RB37
Daryl Henderson: ADP 131.9, RB44
Niheim Heinz: ADP 134.7, RB47
Isiah Pacheco: ADP 138.4, RB48
Zamir White: ADP 144.9, RB50

Swift may have been overestimated when it was drafted as a first-round pick at the start of bootcamp, but it should be chosen closer to the first-round than round three…, and I’ll draft it at the start of round four. I’m not worried about him losing his PPR when James Robinson (Achilles) is 100 percent. …I buy Pierce as a premium filter, and I love it as a 24x better in all shapes. He deserves to be drafted into Round 6. … at the time of publication, we didn’t know the condition of Brian Robinson, who was shoot it multiple times Trying to steal on Sunday. We obviously hope Robinson is doing well, but any absence would be a boost for Gibson, who was on the verge of losing his job to Robinson heading into week one… early in the fifth round of PPR. … Stevenson should benefit massively if Ty Montgomery (Ankle) is out for an extended period of time. If Stevenson plays in passing, as well as splitting action with Damien Harris on the floor, then he’s a key player in all leagues. … Henderson will see an increase in ADP if Cam Akers (soft tissue injury) stays out of practice this week. Henderson might be the rams writer for the first week…Hines has been one of my favorite targets of the year, and I love him as a flexible theatre of PPR. It could also be a lottery ticket if something happened to Jonathan Taylor. … Pacheco and White are lottery tickets to take out in all tournaments. If Pacheco gets a chance to start in heads or white for Raiders Then they will both be potential starters in all shapes.

bad values

Nick Chubb: ADP 16.2, RB9
Ezekiel Elliott: ADP 35.9, RB16
Josh Jacobs: ADP 38.9, RB17
Cam Akers: ADP 48.5, RB21
Damien Harris: ADP 55.7, RB23

I’m not running away from CHEP even as Jacobi Brissett starts his first 11 games in the Brown With Deshaun Watson out (commentary). But I wouldn’t draft Chubb as one of the top 10 runners up in round two, especially in PPR. … Elliot may be in trouble with Tyron Smith outside Cowboys, and I was really apprehensive about drafting Elliott in the third round in all tournaments. Tony Pollard is best drafted as RB31 in ADP 83.1. … Jacobs is expected to share the touches with Zamir White and Amir Abdullah, and it’s hard to trust Jacobs as a must-have choice in PPR. I definitely wouldn’t craft it in the fourth round at this price. …Ackers is hurt and looks like he’s headed for a panel with Henderson and possibly rookie Keren Williams. It’s not worth drafting Akers into Round 4 with his uncertain Week 1 status. … Harris could benefit from Montgomery’s exit, but that doesn’t mean you should recruit him as a rookie in all tournaments. I’d rather have Stevenson over Harris in PPR, and I’m not drafting Harris in the fifth round.

broad receptors

good values

Michael Bateman: ADP 42.2, WR15
DJ More: ADP 48.4, WR16.0
Cortland Sutton: ADP 54.1, WR17
Michael Thomas: ADP 68.6, WR25
Branden Chefs: ADP 70.1, WR27
Rashod Bateman: ADP 87.6, WR31
Darnell Money: ADP 90.8, WR32
Christian Kirk: ADP 106.5, WR39
Nico Collins: ADP 158.1, WR63
Joshua Palmer: No ADP data

Bateman and Moore are two of my favorites this year, and I will be drafting both of them in the second round. This is great value to get both in round 4 if that’s still an ADP in the majority of tournaments. … Sutton is another outstanding candidate worthy of being drafted into Round 3 in the PPR. I like Jerry Jeudy (ADP 72.4, WR28) too, but Sutton has more upside as a potential first receiver for Russell Wilson. …Hopefully Thomas (hamstring) is healthy for the first week, but he steals at this price. He’s had a fantastic training camp by all accounts on his comeback from his ankle problems in the past two seasons, and he could return as a Fantasy Future Top 15 again this year. … Chefs are always underrated for real, but I thought that would change this season given the way he plays in Texas last year. Apparently no, buy it all day at that price, which is a steal. …Batman, Mooney and Kirk should be the No. 1 receivers for the teams involved. Bateman should share goals with Mark Andrews, but Lamar Jackson still has to count on Bateman enough (figure about 120 goals) that he could be the starter of the frontier line in all tournaments. Mooney should be the top 10 goal scorer of the season among all receivers, and Kirk should be the main receiver for Jaguar. I’m going to draft Kirk early in Round 7 into all shapes. …Collins did a good job pre-season and should be No. 2 in Texas goals behind Cook. It’s one of my favorite sleepers. … Palmer should be drafted with a late pick in all tournaments. I love him and KJ Osborn (ADP 147.8, WR55) as lottery ticket recipients who would benefit greatly if someone hits in front of them on the depth chart.

bad values

Depo Samuel: ADP 20.8, WR6
Mike Evans: ADP 28.6, WR8
Jaylen Waddle: ADP 58.8, WR19
DK Metcalf: ADP 62.14, WR21
Adam Tillen: ADP 68.1, WR24

Samuel is a high-quality fantasy option and well worth drafting late into the second round or early round three, but I don’t like him as the #6 off-board receiver, especially in PPR. …Evans may struggle to score in Tampa Bay when everyone else is healthy now that Russell Gage and Julio Jones have joined forces with pirate, along with Chris Goodwin (ACL) on track for Week 1. I wouldn’t mind drafting Evans early in the third round in PPR, but I’m not sure he should be considered a Fantasy Top 10 receiver. Godwin (ADP 60.8, WR20) is a much better value. … Waddle is dealing with an undisclosed leg injury after the end of prep, I hope he’s ready for Week 1. I wouldn’t mind drafting him in Round 5 of all tournaments, but I don’t consider him a top-20 fanciful future now that he’s Tyreek Hill in Miami. …Metcalf will have to deal with Geno Smith as the Seattle quarterback, at least early in the season. This devalues ​​Metcalf, and I don’t want to frame it as a newbie to PPR. I’m also concerned about Tyler Lockett (ADP 118.16, WR44), but it was drafted later. …I like Thielen as a No. 3 receiver, but is drafted as a rookie here, which is risky given the injury history and the expected increased roles for Osborne and Irv Smith. Thielen’s saving grace, especially in non-PPR leagues, is that he can score more than eight touchdowns if he stays healthy.

narrow ends

good values

Dallas Guedert: ADP 73.1, TE7
Cool Duty: ADP 123.7, TE13
David Njoku: ADP 147.3, TE18

I’m not sure if Goedert should be crafted higher than TE7, but it might be the best value in position among the higher level options. He’s heading into a surprise campaign this year. …Kumet is another great value considering his progress, and he’s one of my favorite breakers this season. He should absorb Justin Fields’ goals in the Chicago attack as a No. 2 choice in the pass game behind Mooney. …Njoku should benefit with Brissett under center with plenty of short passes. And he’ll be No. 2 in Brown’s goals behind Amari Cooper, something we love for a tight end.

bad values

George Keitel: ADP 48.6, TE4
Dawson Knox: ADP 97.5, TE10
Mike Jesecki: ADP 105.7, TE11.5

I’m not as afraid of a Kittle as some of my teammates, but I also don’t draft him in the fourth round or fourth. That’s too early. … Knox has the ability to drive all the tight ends in a descent, but I wouldn’t craft it at that price, especially in PPR. There are plenty of mouths to feed in Buffalo. … Gesicki needs a trade out of Miami to get close to living up to the ADP level. It does not appear to be a major factor in dolphins Offensive heading into the season.
