Sleepers · 2026-27

Sleepers: 12 players 9cat ranks ahead of their ADP, on total and per game production.

Every player here ranks ahead of his ADP in 9cat on both total and per game. Each is inside 9cat’s top 120 on total and is going at least 15 picks later in drafts. 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. ADP rank is his place when players are ordered by average draft position across ESPN, Yahoo and Fantrax drafts; green is how many places earlier 9cat has him. Stats are per game; green and red show where a player helps or hurts on total.
