The best fantasy drafters capitalize on shifts in player value. A guy who is a first-rounder one week may become a second-rounder the next, and you’ll want to know when to buy and when to sell. You’ll also want to know when a player’s price has risen far past what you should be paying.
To do so, you should follow trends in both players’ average draft positions (ADP) and expert consensus rankings (ECR). Both metrics help you gauge how other people value a given player — ADP measures a typical user, while ECR measures what analysts think. If a player shoots up in ECR but not ADP, that makes them a steal — but if their ECR crashes while their ADP doesn’t, they’re probably a fade.
