Fantasy Basketball Draft Guide 2026: ADP Report, Volume 3
Last Updated on October 13, 2026 5:29 pm by Mike Passador | Published: October 13, 2026
We’re back for the third edition of this year’s ADP Reports. We are one week out from opening night (opening day, this year) and drafts are in full swing. There has been plenty of movement from the initial board and plenty of value for managers to target at every range of the draft. The ADP data we’re getting becomes increasingly meaningful as the sample size increases and the injured players fall by the wayside (which we looked at a bit last time). Things are evening out across the landscape and at this point, any big moves up or down are worth examining.
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. Last week we checked in on the injury news of the moment and this time we’re going to look at players you can take in comparable ranges. In other words, much better uses of your picks than guys who won’t be ready to roll next week without sacrificing more valuable draft capital. Finally, we’ll go through and highlight some of our favorite value picks 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!
