Most fantasy football ADP tools are built on mock drafts. Managers click through simulated drafts with no stakes, no league context, and no consequences for their picks. The result is ADP data that looks reasonable on paper but often diverges significantly from what happens in real leagues.
Here at Fantasy Orphans, we take a different approach.
ADP from Actual Completed Drafts
Every data point on our redraft ADP page comes from a real completed Sleeper draft — leagues where managers drafted their actual rosters for the 2026 season. When a player slides in a real draft, it shows up in our data. When consensus shifts after a training camp injury or a depth chart change, our numbers update to reflect it.
This matters because fantasy managers in Sleeper leagues are drafting against other Sleeper managers. Knowing where players actually go in that ecosystem — not where analysts think they should go — gives you a genuine edge.
Split by Format
Redraft leagues vary significantly in structure, and ADP shifts considerably depending on the settings. Our redraft ADP is split across four formats:
- Superflex / 2QB — TEP
- Superflex / 2QB — Non-TEP
- 1QB — TEP
- 1QB — Non-TEP
Quarterback value in particular swings dramatically between Superflex and 1QB formats, and our data reflects those differences directly from how real managers are drafting.
Adjustable League Size
Draft position is also sensitive to league size. A player who goes in the third round of a 10-team league might be a second-round pick in a 14-team league. Our ADP tool lets you filter by league size — from 8 to 16 teams — so you're comparing apples to apples when you prep for your draft.
Updated Continuously
As more Sleeper redraft leagues complete their drafts heading into the 2026 season, our data updates automatically. Early-season ADP reflects the current consensus — and as August approaches and more leagues finalize their rosters, the sample size grows and the numbers sharpen.
A Note on Early-Season Data
If you're visiting before the heart of draft season, you may notice the sample sizes are still building. Redraft leagues on Sleeper ramp up significantly in August and September as the NFL season approaches — and when they do, thousands of completed drafts flow through our system.
Because our ADP is calculated from the 100 most recent drafts matching your selected settings, it stays current as the market evolves. Early in the offseason you're seeing the consensus among the first managers drafting. By peak draft season you're seeing a live snapshot of where the market stands right now — not data from drafts that happened months ago.
Prepare for Your Draft
Whether you're in a casual redraft work league or a high-stakes Sleeper competition with true ball-knowers, knowing where players are actually going — not where mock drafters think they should go — is the starting point for building a winning roster.
