Running backs are moving up draft boards and all Vikings are fading…
ADP moves are starting to slowly happen but remember that these changes will start to accelerate in the final weeks leading up to the majority of drafts in the back end of August.
There was no movement in your Top 5 week over week but Puka Nacua, who has been a clear 1st Round pick has dropped to 14.3 ADP on AVG put him into Round 2. As Puka drops a few spots, Cooper Kupp is picking up a few spots and has become a borderline Round 3 / 4 turn selection at an ADP of 37.
Below are the # of Players taken by position each round:
12 Team League | ||
Round 1: | 7 WR, 5 RB | |
Round 2: | 5 WR, 6 RB, 1 QB | |
Round 3: | 6 WR, 2 RB, 2 QB, 2 TE | |
Round 4: | 5 WR, 3 RB, 2 QB, 2 TE | |
Round 5: | 4 WR, 4 RB, 1 QB, 3 TE | |
5 Round Totals | 20 WR, 15 RB, 6 QB, 7 TE |
This week the biggest change is the impact of JJ McCarthy’s injury in Minnesota. Justin Jefferson is still sitting ~6 overall but is slipping a touch and Jamar Chase looks like he could jump ahead of him before Kick-Off. TJ Hockeson (TE MIN) is now sitting around 124 and down 15 spots in the last 2 weeks, while Jordan Addison (WR MIN) is now at 102, down 14 spots or a full round in the past 2 weeks. The QB move in Minny from McCarthy to Darnold is a debate in terms of if it really hurts the pass catchers in Minnesota but with the exception of Jefferson the above players have other issues also dragging them down (Injuries and legal troubles).
Brandon Aiyuk and his trade demands are causing some challenges for his draft stock as he has dropped 3.4 spots week over week and now sits at 32.7, fading towards the lower end of 3rd Rounds in 12 team drafts.
Sam Laporta love is strong but fading slightly as he dropped 2 spots to 27.3. The bigger issue to watch at TE is how many are going early. 7 Tight Ends are currently going in the first 5 rounds of drafts, challenging the premise that you are really getting a big advantage by going after a TE early.
Largest Notable Moves Up:
I.Pacheco (RB KC) up 2.5 spots on week and 7 spots in 2 weeks, now a 2nd round pick.
M. Nabers (WR NYG) up 4 spots, cracking the Top 50 and trying to sneak into the 4th Round.
R. Mostert (RB MIA) up 9.5 spots to 73rd overall.
Good luck if you are drafting in the next week. Below are the Top 150 by ADP and the moves week over week and since the end of July.
