As we work our way into redraft league frenzy season, when the bulk of your friends and family drafts take place, analyzing ADP from week to week during the preseason is helpful to gather an overall impression of where players are being selected. Drafters in Underdog leagues tend to be sharper than your average fantasy football participant, so you may find players will slip a bit further in some leagues than others.

In other words, ADP data is very useful but is not everything, so don’t ride or die with it.

In this piece, I’ll look at some of the biggest risers and fallers from the first week of the preseason, comparing their ADP from August 9th to August 16th with an emphasis on how to approach them moving forward. A player’s ADP can change for a myriad of reasons, and diving into the cause of that movement can certainly help come draft time. I also shared 15 of my preseason Week 1 takeaways.

Note: The number in parenthesis represents their overall +/- ADP jump according to 4for4's Underdog ADP Tool.
