ADP in fantasy football is considered a useful preparation tool while creating your draft. With this metric, fantasy managers can predict when a player could be drafted and whom they would be eligible to pick at their turn. ADP can also be used to determine the value of a particular player.

Top strategies for using ADP in fantasy football
Now that you know how ADP works in fantasy football, here are some tips to help you use this metric to the best of your ability:
- Do your research on the players that can get you the maximum fantasy points based on your draft pick in the league.
- Check your ADP personal rankings and compare them to an expert. This can help you identify the value opportunities.

Although ADP provides valuable insight into a player's potential, it should also be handled with caution as there are a lot of factors that play into a player's ultimate success. For example, a player like Christian McCaffrey tends to have a very high ADP in fantasy football. However, despite the load of fantasy points he generates while on the field, he's also very prone to injury.
This forces fantasy managers to conduct extensive research in addition to using ADP.
