Fantasy Football Projections, Ranks and ADP

As I was putting together some sheets for my upcoming Fantasy Football drafts I noticed quarterbacks, followed by running backs, are dominating the projected stats from ESPN and CBS. Focusing on the offensive players within the top 100 ADP (89 total, I omitted the IDPs) at MyFantasyLeague.com, below is a short summary and all the charts by position and average projections within those positions. I thought this information in one place could be helpful for my readers and especially for those of you who use Value Based Dafting and Player Consistency come draft night.

  • Quarterbacks have the top 11 rankings and 13 of 14 with only Foster coming in at 12.
  • The #13 QB has the same projection as the #2 RB
  • Running Backs have the next 10 out of 11 spots, giving up only spot 18 to Calvin Johnson.
  • The #14 RB has a higher projection than #3 WR
  • QBs and RBs account for 24 of the top 25 projected ranks accoring to ESPN and CBS.
  • Wide Receivers only have 2 (CJ and Fitz) inside the top 31 projected spots.
  • The #26 WR has the same projection as the #3 TE.
  • Tight Ends have 2 in the top 30 (Gronk and Graham), but then dont show up again until #68 (Gates).

These could go on forever, so take a look below at the charts and let me know what else you find interesting and useful.
