Average draft position (fantasy football ADP) is one of the most important tools in fantasy football.

Not only is it important to know where targeted players are likely to be drafted, but ADP offers a great look at how the field prices each position and player, opening up the opportunity to find value.

Below you will find updated ADP information for best ball formats at Underdog.

Biggest Fantasy Football ADP Movers

Kirk Cousins — Rising

There had been consistent buzz out of Las Vegas that the Raiders wanted a veteran for likely No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza to sit behind early in his career.

It appears they found their man, signing Kirk Cousins to what amounts to a one-year contract.

That addition has sent Cousins up fantasy boards, but he likely will end up being a wasted pick.

Even if the Raiders truly want Cousins to start ahead of Mendoza, that would require him to be a starting-quality quarterback.

33 quarterbacks qualified for passer rating last season.

Among that group, Cousins ranked:

  • 29th in yards per attempt
  • 28th in touchdown rate
  • 27th in EPA per dropback
  • 26th in success rate

Even if the initial plan is for Cousins to work ahead of Mendoza, the expectation should be for the rookie to start the vast majority, if not every game, in 2026.

Jauan Jennings — Falling

Most of the bigger names left on the free agent market make sense, either because of age, injury, off-field concerns, or some combination of all three.

Jauan Jennings, on the other hand, is reportedly still available because he is asking for too much money.

It makes sense that Jennings wants to cash in following the two most productive seasons of his career, but he took a step back in every efficiency metric with the 49ers last season.

From a fantasy perspective, though, this waiting game could end up working out for Jennings' immediate fantasy value.

Now that he has waited this long, Jennings could be willing to sit out until injury or an unforeseen situation opens up a real opportunity.

There will also be teams that need wide receivers but miss out on the talent they are targeting in the draft, which would open more opportunities for the veteran receiver.

Jennings' draft cost is falling because of uncertainty, which does make sense, but there is an upside case here, assuming the issue is actually asking price and not something to do with how the league views Jennings' talent.

Jordan James — Rising

Jennings' former teammate is going the other way in ADP, with Jordan James rising up the board after Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers want to lighten Christian McCaffrey‘s workload in 2026.

We have heard that song before, but McCaffrey is coming off easily his worst season in terms of rushing efficiency since joining the 49ers.

According to The Athletic's Matt Barrows, Shanahan said James had jumped Isaac Guerendo as a rushing threat behind McCaffrey by the end of last season.

A fifth-round pick last year, James had a lost rookie season, playing just 3 offensive snaps in the regular season, but he did rush 6 times for 28 yards against the Seahawks.

James is clearly in the mix to back up McCaffrey this season, and that role obviously comes with massive contingency value should the power station ever steal CMC away from us.

Troy Franklin & Pat Bryant — Falling

The Broncos traded for Jaylen Waddle, which understandably has crushed the fantasy value of both Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant.

Franklin specifically was used in a role last season that seems to be a perfect fit for Waddle.

Over the first 11 weeks of last season, Franklin averaged 14.1 air yards per target, but he saw 21.0% of his targets behind the line of scrimmage, and 50.6% of his targets traveled fewer than 10 yards downfield in the air.

Among the 94 receivers who ran at least 250 routes last season, Franklin had the fifth-highest screen rate per route.

Those routes and opportunities should go Waddle's way this season, and with Courtland Sutton eating up a large chunk of the remaining target pie, there will not be enough room for the tertiary pass catches to return fantasy value.
