Fades · 2026-27

Fades: 14 players 9cat ranks behind their ADP, on total and per game production.

Every player here ranks behind his ADP in 9cat on both total and per game. Each is going inside the top 120 in drafts, at least 15 picks before 9cat’s total rank. The biggest gaps in each range, grouped by ADP.

By 9cat ·

Each player shows his ADP rank beside two 9cat ranks (All categories): total, on projected totals so missed games count, and per game, which ignores them. Red is how many places later 9cat has him. Stats are per game; green and red show where a player helps or hurts on total. ADP rank is his place when players are ordered by average draft position across ESPN, Yahoo and Fantrax drafts; players with ADP from only one of them are left out.
