There are few things in fantasy football (besides winning, of course) that feel better or confer as many bragging rights as drafting the sleeper of the year. Likewise, there are few things that feel worse than picking a player that turns out to be a huge bust and would have been better avoided.
One way to identify good draft candidates and avoid big question marks is to follow a player’s ADP (average draft position) trends week to week. Fortunately, we’ve done all the number crunching for you! Here are the top 10 rising and falling players in ADP, both overall and by position. We’ll keep this page up to date, all the way up until the 2026 NFL season kickoff.
