What the numbers mean and where they come from.
How the board is ordered
Scoring: Half PPR (0.5 points per reception). The control next to the wordmark switches every number on this page (ADP blend, projections, last season, expert ranks) to the other format; your draft checkmarks are per league and carry over. FantasyPros' ADP composite for this scoring averages Yahoo, Sleeper and RTSports. The Sleepers and Do-not-draft lists are shared between both boards.
Blended ADP is a weighted average of the markets below; if a source hasn't ranked a player, the other sources' weights are re-scaled for him. Tiles show it as ADP 14.2: the lower, the earlier the market takes him.
The Order control in the header switches the whole board to a single market (Underdog, FantasyPros, Yahoo, Sleeper) or to Experts — your FantasyPros experts' ranking instead of any market (there the slot is the experts' own rank, and tiles show the market ADP beside it). Whichever order is chosen, the slots, the List view's Value column and the card's “vs slot” follow it, and players that market hasn't ranked drop to the end, faded, with none as their number.
ADP sources
| Source | What it is | Used for | Refresh | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Underdog | Real-money best-ball drafts on Underdog (half-PPR rooms): Underdog's own ADP export when one is installed, else 4for4's daily multi-site table (FFToday's weekly table as the last fallback); whichever is dated newest | card only | export when installed; 4for4 daily | – |
| FantasyPros | FantasyPros' half-PPR ADP composite: a market number, NOT the experts' opinion. It averages Yahoo, Sleeper and RTSports draft rooms, so those count indirectly through it | card only | manual export; moves only when a new export is installed | – |
| Sleeper | Real half-PPR drafts on Sleeper (the largest sample) | card only | every 6 hours | – |
| Yahoo | Real drafts on Yahoo, where these leagues are hosted. Card-only here, but it counts inside the FantasyPros composite | card only | every 6 hours | – |
| FFC | Mock drafts on FantasyFootballCalculator's simulator, not real drafts. Card-only | card only | every 6 hours | – |
| ESPN | ESPN drafts are full-PPR rooms, so they are card-only on this board (170 means he goes undrafted there) | card only | every 6 hours | – |
Expert rankings (EXP)
A tile's EXP 9 · T2 means the experts' consensus has him 9th overall, in tier 2. Players in a tier are near-interchangeable; when a tier is about to run out, grab one.

Sleepers & do-not-draft
The Sleepers view searches Google News and Bing News every full build (6 h) for this week's sleeper / late-round / breakout articles and bust / avoid / overvalued articles (ESPN, Yahoo, CBS, FantasyPros, RotoBaller, RotoWire, FantasyLife, Bleacher Report and whoever else wrote one), reads each article once, and counts a player only when the piece is about him — his own heading, an entry line like “Name (TEAM) – ADP”, or two or more real paragraphs. Passing mentions, related-article boxes, promo teasers, sidebars and rankings / cheat-sheet pages never count (sleepers count round-5-or-later players only). A piece covering both (“Sleepers and Busts”) shows in both feeds but counts toward neither ranking — it can't say which side a name is on. Both lists are buzz meters, not rankings. Each name opens the card; the count opens the articles naming him.

Contract year
CY on a tile (and the card's Contract year pill) means 2026 is the final real year of his deal per Over The Cap: a free agent after the season, or a deal whose remaining years are void years. Exclusive-rights (ERFA) players are not counted — the team can keep them for the minimum. The card shows the deal (rookie deal, 1-year, franchise tag, through-year) and links to OTC; refreshed with the full build.
Information only. It never changes the order, the ADP, the experts' rank or the steal/reach badge — the Contract yr toggle in the header just fades everyone else. The evidence for a contract-year bump in the NFL is thin: the studies with numbers find roughly zero on average (the only one with a matched control group found contract-year players did slightly worse); the kindest found modest gains for WR/TE in stable situations and a coin flip for RBs. Use it as a tiebreaker, not a reason.
Sources. Contract terms, free-agency year and type come from Over The Cap's QB, RB, WR, TE and K position tables (five pages read on every full build, every 6 hours). Franchise tags (OTC lists a tag as a 1-year deal) and the short notes on the card — extension talks, no deal yet — are maintained by hand from beat reports and Spotrac; OTC can lag a signing by a day or two, so a player who just signed an extension may keep the tag until the next build.

ADP is the board's blend of the draft markets that are still moving; EXP is the experts' consensus rank and tier. The live board above refreshes every 6 hours; this text is the snapshot from the last site update.
How the draft board is ordered
The default order is a weighted blend of real draft markets, refreshed every six hours; a market whose data stops moving is marked frozen in the Key and left out of the blend until it moves again. Switch the Order control to see the board by any single market, or by your experts' rankings. Every tile shows the market pick (ADP) and the experts' rank and tier (EXP) side by side, so a steal or a reach is obvious without a badge.
Live news, injuries and projections
Headlines from the major fantasy outlets, beat reporters and the official injury reports are tagged to players and refreshed every 30 minutes; a dot on the tile means news in the last day. The player card adds season projections from three sources (scored for the board you are on), last season's line, the draft market on one axis and the latest two weeks of news.
Sleepers and do-not-draft lists
This week's sleepers and the do-not-draft list are read from the week's articles across the web and ranked by how many pieces are about each player, with the sources one click away. Both are information only.
Contract-year players
Contract-year players carry a CY tag built from public contract data; the card shows the deal. Nothing on the board is re-ranked by it.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Draft Board?
- A free, live fantasy football draft board for 12-team half-PPR snake drafts. Every player tile shows a blended average draft position, the experts' rank and tier, the latest news and a contract-year flag; click a name for the full player card, click the check to mark him drafted.
- Where does the ADP come from?
- The board order is a weighted blend of average draft position from the leading best-ball and season-long draft markets, refreshed every six hours. Each individual market is shown on the player card and can be used as the board order with the Order control.
- What do the expert tiers mean?
- EXP is the overall rank from a curated set of fantasy experts chosen by their 2025 draft accuracy, and T1–T15 is their tier. It is a second opinion next to the market ADP: switch the Order control to Experts to see the board in their order.
- How are the sleepers and do-not-draft lists built?
- Every six hours the site searches the news for the week's sleeper, breakout, bust and avoid articles from across the fantasy football web, reads each one once, and counts a player only when a piece is actually about him (his own heading, an entry line or two or more paragraphs). The lists rank players by that count and link to the original articles.
- Is it free? Do I need an account?
- Yes, and no. Nothing is behind a login; your picks are saved in your browser per league, and you can export the board to CSV or print it as a cheat sheet.
- What scoring does it use?
- Half-PPR (0.5 points per reception), 12 teams by default; the Teams control re-flows the snake for 8, 10 or 14. Season projections from three independent sources are re-scored to half-PPR on the player card.
