FastDraft Flex-4 ADP Risers and Fallers: May 30
When it comes to fantasy football, best ball, NFL betting, and even DFS, there is a world of apps available to you to play. But one of the most exciting new games that I’ve been playing lately is FastDraft. Why? Because not only can you win up to $250,000 in prizes, it literally takes no time at all because drafts take no more than five minutes. Even less if you set up your top-60 rankings and set yourself up in Turbo Mode.
If this is your first time hearing about FastDraft, then do yourself a favor and click here. That article from Andrew Cooper lays everything out for you, from the basic contest parameters, draft strategies, and a full explanation of all the ins and outs of the app. You can also check out Thursday’s Fantasy Alarm Show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio as Billy Muzio, one of the creators of FastDraft, joined us to add further insights.
And one of the best parts of this app is that it was created by people who love to draft, so everything they’ve done comes from the mind of players, not just technicians. They even put together their own FastDraft ADP to help you in your research. We dove into some of the ADP last week and with more drafts in the books, we’re going to take a look at a new batch of ADP risers and fallers.
Let’s get to work!
FastDraft Flex-4 ADP Risers
Justin Jefferson, WR Minnesota Vikings (ADP 3.45; +1.13)
Seems a little odd throwing Jefferson’s name into the risers list, but it’s worth noting the overall rise of wide receivers in general and the fact that, even with a rookie quarterback throwing him the football, everyone knows just how explosive Jefferson can be. He remains the focal point of a pass-heavy offensive scheme and is expected to see the highest target share of any other receiver on the field. Don’t sweat J.J. McCarthy throwing him the football. Head coach Kevin O’Connell has the kid well-prepared.
Cooper Kupp, WR Seattle Seahawks (ADP 60.00; +19.00)
Again, there is an overall rise in ADP for wide receivers, but take not of Kupp and his ADP. His mark of 60 means people are just now starting to add him into their top-60 overall rankings and he is being drafted by many. We know it’s going to be a more conservative scheme than Kupp is used to, but we expect a ton of 12 and 21-personnel from offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak which means only two receivers will be on the field. Yes, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is expected to see the heavier target-share, but Kupp, if healthy, can be explosive and extremely valuable. If you play Turbo Mode, be sure to move him up your rankings for some exposure.
Evan Engram, TE Denver Broncos (ADP 60.00; +0.62)
Tight ends are not valuable in this format unless they are seeing a huge target share. We see Trey McBride and Brock Bowers being drafted, but, for the most part, the rest of the tight end position is being ignored. That is, until some of us started moving Engram up our rankings with his new role as the “jker” in Sean Payton’s and Joe Lombardi’s offense. When these guys were running Jimmy Graham out there in a similar fashion, he led all tight ends in targets, receptions, and receiving yards and had numbers that rivaled some of the top WR2s in the game. Engram should fill that role and will be much less owned in your contests.
FastDraft Flex-4 ADP Fallers
James Cook, RB Buffalo Bills (ADP 30.94; -29.43)
Maybe it’s the public hold-out or the ridiculous $15M per year income he’s demanding or maybe it’s just that no one believes Cook is rushing for another 16 touchdowns this season. No matter what the consensus thought process is here, Cook’s stock is dropping, and it’s difficult to fault people for thinking that regression is in his future. He finished 16th in rushing yards last season, and with Josh Allen poaching runs and with Joe Brady pushing for more short-route passing, Cook’s opportunities could be limited in comparison. Not to mention, the holdout and demands could invite the coaches to give Ray Davis a bigger look. Buyer beware.
Travis Hunter, WR Jacksonville Jaguars (ADP 58.36; -3.55)
Not only is the rookie love wearing off, but we’re also hearing more and more about how Hunter was a much better corner than he was a receiver in college and while you can fill up a highlight reel with some of his catches, his work with Shedeur Sanders at the collegiate level is a far cry from what could be expected of him at the NFL level. He’s a decent WR2 and should be fine for best ball, but limit your expectations of him and Brian Thomas Jr being the first Jags WR duo to rack up over 1,000 yards each.
Chris Olave, WR New Orleans Saints (ADP 59.13; -2.32)
It’s a combination of the quarterback options, the concussion history, and Kellen Moore’s offense, which prefers a power-running game and deep shots downfield. The intermediate routes that Olave is used to will still be available, but probably not at the level fantasy owners are hoping to see. Olave is a talented guy who is getting a raw deal here between injuries and a tanking Saints team. We’re steering clear for the most part.
