What ADP Means in Fantasy Football (And How to Use it To Your Advantage)

Christian McCaffrey has the top ADP in fantasy football in 2024. | Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports

There's no doubt about it: the fantasy football landscape is getting sharper and more competitive by the year. I'm not that old, but I'm old enough to remember when the term "sleeper" often included players that a bunch of your league mates hadn't even heard of. Now it feels like the majority of the fantasy football community can rattle off at least two running backs and four wide receivers on all 32 NFL rosters. This has also led to an increase in the amount of in-depth (and sometimes even jargon-heavy) info that is being included in fantasy football analysis.

One term that gets thrown around a ton is "ADP", which isn't necessarily obvious to someone newer to fantasy football. At least most of the other jargon we see is typically tied to real NFL stats. If someone mentions "yards per route run", it's pretty self-explanatory. And even if you don't play fantasy football you can figure out what that means.
