Please remember, this sheet is updated weekly (mostly on Fridays) so come back whenever you need.

Have you ever noticed that draft rooms on different sites like ESPN and Yahoo have drastically different in-draft rankings? These rankings determine the default order in which players appear during drafts, influencing their average draft positions (ADP) and when they are selected in those draft rooms.

Recognizing the significance of this, I set out to create a valuable tool that helps you identify players in draft rooms who are either undervalued or overvalued compared to expert rankings.

I created these sheets to help visually compare the draft rankings from ESPN, Sleeper, and Yahoo with FantasyPros expert rankings. We’ve focused on skill position players, excluding DSTs and Kickers for clarity.

These sheets help compare FantasyPros ADP and Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) to the draft room rankings of ESPN, Sleeper, and Yahoo. The sheets are further divided based on scoring formats, including Standard, Half PPR, and PPR, as well as Sleeper Superflex draft data.

Feel free to make a copy of these sheets to view and sort at your pleasure! The second button allows you to do so instantly. Please be aware that these sheets are hosted in Google Sheets so you may need a Google account to view.

Good luck and happy drafting!
