Fantasy Basketball Draft Guide 2026: ADP Report, Volume 2

By Mike Passador Published October 8, 2026 1 min read

We’re back for the second edition of this year’s ADP Reports. The season is less than two weeks away so we have reset the table and are on the hunt for good value as well as picks to avoid. Last week’s ADP Report gave us some… let’s call it questionable data, and things should be more meaningful as default rankings get adjusted and more drafts go into the books. Things that looked crazy last week are leveling out a little bit but there’s still plenty of exciting opportunities out there.

We’ll always take a look at the guys moving up and down the board, and then take a quick second to talk about the mish-mash of players up for grabs after the top of the class comes off the board in the first round. We’ve got some injury news, unfortunately, and will see what that means for ADPs, and then we’ll close things down with some moves we do and don’t like at every range of the draft.

As always, we’re using our handy ADP Tracker to see all the relevant numbers. Expect regular updates to that as well, so keep checking back to stay up to date!
