The calendar flips to August, and fantasy football drafts immediately kick into high gear. Your home league commissioner is probably scrambling to find a draft date that makes everyone happy, so while you wait, why not start drafting today? At FastDraft, not only is every day a great day to draft, but you can do it at any time. FastDraft is one of the fastest-rising communities, and you can find a group to do a best ball draft at almost any time, day or night.

If this is your first time hearing about FastDraft, then do yourself a favor and click here for a quick read. That article lays everything out for you about FastDraft, from the basic contest parameters and draft strategies to a full explanation of all the ins and outs of the app. You can also check out this Friday’s Fantasy Alarm Show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio as Billy Muzio, one of the creators of FastDraft, joined us to add further insights.

Bottom line is that FastDraft has revolutionized drafting. Short clock, short drafts. You’ve got contests like Origins (rookies only) and Flex-4 (draft six flex players, best-ball starts your best four), where the drafts take no more than five minutes. Even less if you set up your own rankings and load them into their Turbo Mode feature, where you can set up to auto-draft off of them for multiple teams – five, 10, 20, you set the number. 

If those drafts are too abbreviated for you, they also have a contest called The Rabbit, where you’re drafting a true, 15-round best-ball team. It’s the same 20-second clock, which means Rabbit drafts only take about 20 minutes each, and yes, you can also set up Turbo Mode here as well. The experience is spectacular because they make it so easy.

Best of all? They give you the tools to succeed, including a fully comprehensive FastDraft ADP. Not only do they tell you where everyone is going, but they also provide ownership numbers so you can see where the masses are going with their picks. You’ll also see that the ADP is broken up into the individual contests they run. Drafting players in Origins is obviously different from drafting them in the Rabbit, so why would you want one giant lump of ADP data that doesn’t tell an accurate story? The folks at FastDraft know this and, again, have made it as easy as possible for you to succeed.

With the Rabbit in full swing, we can begin to look at some of the ADP risers and fallers. Last week, we began our look at the FastDraft ADP to find a few notable names to keep tabs on. Today, we continue that journey.   

 

 

FastDraft Rabbit ADP Risers

Terry McLaurin, WR Washington Commanders (ADP: 40.20; +8.45)

By now, you’ve probably heard the news. McLaurin has officially requested a trade as he continues to battle with the Washington brass over a new contract. But that’s not why his ADP is climbing here. In fact, this data was captured before the Friday announcement. The quick version is simple – McLaurin wants a new contract, so he made his request, skipped mini-camp citing an ankle injury and then failed to report to training camp. The team put him on the reserve/did not report list and fined him $50,000 per day missed. So, McLaurin reported to stop the fines but he wasn’t going to practice, again citing his ankle, so the team put him on the PUP list. Now he’s requesting a trade.

It’s an act. All of it. McLaurin and his agent know the Commanders need him. What would they do if he left? Sign Amari Cooper or Keenan Allen? Come on. So, no one believes he is hurt, and no one believes he is getting traded. The rumors will continue to swirl, and I’m sure he’ll be linked to some prolific offenses, but the fact remains that he wants to get back on the field, and so do the Commanders. He enjoyed one of his most productive seasons last year and set a career-high in touchdown receptions. There are big expectations for Year 2 for him and Daniels, and that’s why his ADP is on the rise.

Kyle Williams, WR New England Patriots (ADP: 128.18; +9.05)

In the realm of no news is good news, things have been relatively quiet from Patriots camp with regard to the rookie wide receiver. Nothing wrong with that, and fantasy owners know where Williams is likely to settle in with respect to the targets pecking order in New England. We know the offense Josh McDaniels runs and Williams profiles as a strong complement to Stefon Diggs. And if Diggs isn’t ready due to his knee, Williams can even play the X-receiver position. No one is expecting Mack Hollins or Demario Douglas to outshine him, and we should continue to see his ADP rise with the more work he gets with the first team at training camp.

Cedric Tillman, WR Cleveland Browns (ADP: 134.40; +18.40)

Maybe Tillman is on the rise because he just shook off a lower leg injury and got back onto the practice field the very next day? Or maybe it’s because he’s being listed as the No. 2 receiver in Cleveland behind only Jerry Jeudy? Or maybe…just maybe…all that talk about Kenny Pickett being the starter was thrashed by a hamstring injury, and no timetable for his return, so we’re back to Joe Flacco throwing the football 72 times a game. 

Tillman is actually a fantastic best ball receiver. You’re not relying on him as a main character, and he barely costs you a 15th-round pick. But last year, with Flacco under center, Tillman went on a three-game tear in which he averaged seven catches on 11 targets for 85 yards and one touchdown per game. We’re hoping the ADP doesn’t climb any further, though, as we become less interested the higher the cost.

 

 

 

FastDraft Rabbit ADP Fallers

Tyler Warren, TE Indianapolis Colts (ADP: 109.63; -8.95)

What’s interesting here is that Warren’s ADP is being affected much like that of Tillman, but in the opposite direction. Reports out of Colts camp are glowing with regard to Warren, but we are also hearing positive reports on Anthony Richardson, and that’s where fantasy owners are balking. Despite positive reports of Richardson’s passing improvements, we all seem to be o the mindset that the Colts pass-catchers and subsequent fantasy owners would be better off with Daniel Jones under center. After watching Richardson’s limited play at the NFL level, I cannot say that I disagree with that opinion. We’ll give it some more time as it is only August 1st, but it’s difficult to even remain cautiously optimistic.

J.K. Dobbins, RB Denver Broncos (ADP: 119.97; -10.95)

The drop is probably more related to the smaller player pool than anything else. Running backs in shared backfields, especially those on the apparent shorter side of the platoon, just aren’t going to cut it. Not when FastDraft contests are cumulative total points, not just a weekly match-up. It’s worth noting that rookie RJ Harvey is killing it in camp and looks like a perfect fit for what Joe Lombardi and Sean Payton want to do, so Dobbins, with his part-time role and lengthy injury history, is just not an ideal candidate for drafting. Not in this format. 

Jordan Love, QB Green Bay Packers (ADP: 131.59; -17.45)

There’s really no reason for Love’s ADP to be taking this kind of a tumble. He’s looked fine in camp, his new star wideout Matthew Golden has been solid, and many are expecting a bounce-back campaign for the fifth-year starter. Maybe the 15-round draft leaves less room for a third quarterback on your roster, but Love is really more of a QB2 than a QB3. I’ll buy the dip here and bank on a resurgence even if Matt LaFleur’s offense is centered around the run. The Packers fans want passing, and I think Love gives it to them.
