Players Experts Draft & Avoid at ADP
Who is a player you’re TARGETING in drafts based on his current ADP (top-150) and why?
Jameson Williams (WR – DET)
“Jameson Williams at WR27 and 63 overall is a screaming value. Williams was WR19 in total points in 2024, despite missing two games due to a PED suspension and two other games under 10 scrimmage yards. Williams is a special athlete with a blue chip pedigree, and the departure of Ben Johnson brings a fresh set of eyes to playcalling. Williams can score on any play in an offensive environment that has established itself as worth targeting.”

Darnell Mooney (WR – ATL)
“Whatever Michael Penix becomes (QB finishes of 30, 25, and 4 in three starts to end the season), I would like to find out in the least devastating way possible. That means passing on London, who goes inside the Top 20 overall, and taking Darnell Mooney instead. Mooney has faded in drafts after a late July shoulder injury, an injury that he should be cleared from before the regular season. With eight 10+ point weeks, Mooney showed every week flex potential in his first season with Atlanta. He should thrive as the third option for Atlanta if Michael Penix is the answer. If Penix is not? I’ve only wasted a late pick finding out.”

Drake London (WR – ATL)
“Drake London. The Falcons’ superstar WR is routinely being selected in the back half of Round 2 as the WR9 (19th overall). But I would happily reach for Drake London in Round 1 if that were the only way I could guarantee him on my roster. He’s not even 24 years old yet, coming off a Year 3 performance featuring 100 catches, 1,271 yards & 9 TDs. And he’s got one fantasy cheat code working in his favor as well: red-zone targets. In 2024, Drake London had 23 red-zone targets (T-3rd in NFL) and 14 end-zone targets (Top-10). The Falcons’ WR leads the league in red-zone target rate over the last 3 seasons. And London wasn’t just a TD threat – he was a target hog. 3rd-highest target rate per route run (30%). And now he’s tied to QB Michael Penix Jr. With Penix under center late in the year, London had a 41% target rate on his routes. If Penix levels up in Year 2, look out for London.”
