VBD Draft Rankings
Value-based draft rankings for every position — built from real NFL production and live ADP, tuned to your league's scoring and size.
How these rankings are calculated
Each player's projection is built from recent production (2023–2025, weighting the most recent season highest), adjusted for age and projected over a full season. We then compute Value Over Replacement (VBD): how many points a player is worth above the last startable player at his position for your league's size and scoring. Average draft position (ADP) comes from FantasyFootballCalculator, blended across formats and league sizes — the ADP column shows whether a player is a value or a reach versus where he's actually being drafted. Kicker is projected from field-goal and extra-point production (low confidence), and team defense is ranked by market ADP, since both are hard to predict and best drafted late. These are statistical projections, not guarantees — rookies with no NFL history won't have a projection until they play.
What these columns mean
- Proj
- Projected fantasy points for the season, based on your selected scoring format.
- VBD (Value Over Replacement)
- How many points a player is worth above the last startable player at his position in your league. Higher = more valuable. The rankings are sorted by this.
- ADP
- Average draft position: where the player is typically drafted across leagues.
- ADP Δ
- The gap between the player’s VBD rank and his ADP. Green / positive = value (he ranks higher than he’s being drafted, so he may fall to you); red / negative = reach (he’s drafted earlier than his value).
