Average Draft Position (ADP) is a vital tool for tracking how the fantasy football market evolves throughout the Best Ball draft season. Players will rise and fall due to factors like: Player News Training Camp Reports Injuries Traditionally, DraftKings Best Ball ADP movement has been measured by ADP Difference , which shows how many picks a player has gained or lost over time. The problem is that not every pick carries the same value. A five-pick move in the 2nd round matters much more than one in the 12th, even though the raw movement is the same. That is why we are also using Draft Capital Difference , which better captures the true impact of each move on roster construction. ADP Difference tells us how far a player moved. Draft Capital Difference tells us how meaningful that move was based on the value of the picks involved. This is part 5/6 of our DraftKings Best Ball Series. ADP movement is from 5/1 – 7/7 thanks to Best Ball Explorer. Totally free resource that helps track ADP and your personal portfolio. Check out fantasy.vip , too. Another free resource to check for p layoff schedule correlation, Best Ball Data since 2023, and Spike Week %. ADP Risers Greg Dulcich | MIA | TE | +50.5 Gotta be the hair, right? It should, but it’s tied to the Dolphins’ offseason buzz and his potential chemistry with Malik Willis . The Willis-Dulcich connection is not completely new, either, as both players were at the Senior Bowl and were drafted just six picks apart in the 2022 NFL Draft. He got playing time when Darren Waller went down last year, and the two coexisted well together at the end of the season when he came back. Dulcich looks like the favorite player not named De’Von Achane to soak up some of the 134 targets vacated by Jaylen Waddle /Waller . He had an excellent receiving profile coming out of UCLA, with 68/1,242/10 over his last two seasons, averaging 18.3 YPC. Best Ball Angle: Another reason this climb makes sense is the inflated quarterback market. With QB ADP being pushed up earlier than in past seasons, QBs are harder to stack naturally, and only De’Von Achane is drafted ahead of him among Dolphin skill players. Dulcich is an easy backdoor stack, especially with Malik Washington carrying a less exciting ceiling profile as the next-highest drafted pass catcher. That makes Dulcich a cheap way to access a stack if you missed on your other QB’s you intended to stack. Grab Willis if you missed, then draft Greg D. Ryan Flournoy | DAL | WR | +40 Flournoy’s rise is tied to the offseason, which treated him as the clear WR3 behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens . He’s a breakout weapon who made a splash in 2025 and looks to be rewarded with a bigger role entering this season after beating out Jalen Tolbert last year. He finished 2025 with 40 catches, 475 yards, and four TDs, with little new competition threatening that WR3 role. Best Ball Angle: The appeal is Flournoy gives drafters cheap access to a DAL passing offense. Dak naturally gets pushed higher (even though his price is fair) because you have the Lamb and Pickens drafters playing chicken to add him to their roster. He does not need to beat Lamb or Pickens to matter; he just needs enough route involvement to spike in shootouts and benefit if one of the top two receivers misses time. Part-timer/special teams maven KaVontae Turpin is free, but Flournoy looks like the cleaner Dak backdoor stack because his offensive role is easier to project and his ADP still leaves room for profit.…
