There is no rest for the fantasy football weary! Some might say June is too early to be doing draft, but those people would be wrong. You know who’s right? FastDraft! Not only are fantasy football drafts underway, but they’ve shown us there’s a quick and easy way to complete a draft in under five minutes. Yeah, I figured that would grab your attention.

If this is your first time hearing about FastDraft, then do yourself a favor and click here for a quick read. That article from Andrew Cooper lays everything out for you about FastDraft, 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 Friday’s Fantasy Alarm Show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio as Matt Kelley, 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

Malik Nabers, WR New York Giants (ADP 8.85; +2.75)

Feel like I’m on the ADP campaign trail here and saying, “I’m Howard Bender and I approve of this ADP increase.” And, I do. You’re going to want shares of Nabers this season, and if you don’t bump him up in your rankings, you could be missing out. You may not love Russell Wilson, but he’s definitely a better option than what Nabers had throwing to him last season, and if Sus Russ doesn’t get the job done, then queue cup the Famous Jameis…Winston, that is. Imagine him chucking the ball downfield to Nabers for a four-week stretch while the team gets Jaxson Dart ready. Either way, you’ve got better downfield passing to an elite-level target-monster. Thank you, sir. May I have another?

Courtland Sutton, WR Denver Broncos (ADP 60.00; +0.11)

It’s about time people are putting a little respect on Sutton’s name. With a full season of Joe Lombardi’s system under his belt, Bo Nix is expected to take a step forward this year, and Sutton will be one of the biggest beneficiaries. He’s the X-receiver in this offense, which means targets routinely funnel his way. Yes, you have other targets on the team, but this scheme dictates targets to the X, and you can go back and look at numbers for guys like Michael Thomas and Mike Williams for further evidence. Sutton has led the team in targets both years with Lombardi, and he’s ready for Round 3. 

Dalton Kincaid, TE Buffalo Bills (ADP 60.00; +0.61)

Not every ADP riser gets the rah-rah treatment here, as I think Kincaid rising in ADP in this format is a mistake. Sure, maybe you want some exposure to him IF he ever lives up to that rookie-season hype, but he hasn’t and is likely to struggle to improve inside Joe Brady’s system right now. Brady has all these interchangeable cogs at WR (except Keon Coleman – a topic for another time), and both tight ends, Kincaid and Dawson Knox, are lumped into that group. There is no alpha. There is no target-monster. And that’s a problem. If Kincaid isn’t going to see either the most or second-most targets in this offense, his value in this format will be stunted. 

 

 

 

FastDraft Flex-4 ADP Fallers

Ladd McConkey, WR Los Angeles Chargers (ADP 19.81; -40.55)

Considering how much we love saying McConkeytonkbedonkadonk, you won’t hear much in the way of negative comments. Is the second-year receiver going a little too early in season-long drafts? Probably, but considering his overall talent and expected target share, he is very worthy of your top-60 overall. His descent in the ADP ranks is likely just people getting exposure to other players and moving McConkey down to adjust, so I wouldn’t read too much into it. The Chargers offense may be run-first, but we’ve got consolidated targets, and many of them are going here. 

DK Metcalf, WR Seattle Seahawks (ADP 54.57; -5.89)

Does this come as a bit of a surprise? Maybe. The Steelers just upgraded from Mason Rudolph to Aaron Rodgers, and George Pickens is gone, so you would think Metcalf’s ADP would be on the rise. Not if everyone truly hates Rodgers and doesn’t think he’ll find success in Pittsburgh.  I can’t say I hate Rodgers, but I do hate what he does to a team these days. We saw him alienate two of the Jets best young players, and we know that if he and Metcalf aren’t sitting on the same page each and every play, the trade for Allen Lazard will surface once again. Rodgers likes to throw to a spot on the field, not directly at the target. If Metcalf isn’t where Rodgers expects him to be, the two will butt heads on the sidelines afterwards.

Chris Olave, WR New Orleans Saints (ADP 59.13; -2.32)

If you’re drafting Olave, you’ve got moxie. I’ll tell you that. Between the horrendous quarterback situation and the concussion history, I would expect more people to hop off his bandwagon than what we’re seeing right now. This is minimal movement in comparison to what will happen if he even stubs his toe in training camp. And before you go calling me a hater, allow me to say that I love the player. Phenomenal talent. But if you don’t think Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler will be out there throwing hospital balls all game long, then you’re a braver person than me.
