INSIGHT

How To Define A League Winner

League winners are players outside the first round who drastically beat ADP and reshape season outcomes.
Target players likely to be drafted higher next year as a way to spot 2025 league winners.

ADVICE

Think One Year Ahead In ADP

Use next-year draft positioning as a quick test: players likely to be drafted higher in 2026 were league winners in 2025.
Draft those mid-to-late round players who project upward movement in future ADP.

ADVICE

Draft T-Mac While He's Cheap

Draft Tetairoa McMillan now since his ADP is lower than expert rankings and he offers top-10 upside.
Grab him in rounds 3–4 before he becomes a consensus early-round pick next year.
