Is any one sick of the 2020 Draft content? How about the 2020 fantasy football season? Are we running it into the ground? By the looks of it, I’m going to say no! My Twitter feed and other social media outlets are absolutely loaded with fantasy football and NFL Draft questions.
It’s pretty easy to figure out why. Most of us are stuck at home with nothing but our phones and streaming services. It’s never a bad thing to be prepared. It’s never a bad thing to go over every option possible for the actual NFL Draft.
Within reason! There is still a lot of time left before the start of the 2020 NFL season. Burning out is a real thing! For most of us, fantasy football will never get old. I’m not talking about you. I’m talking to the first time fantasy football player. Or a young kid looking to take on his first ever dynasty team. Have you ever heard, “Rome wasn’t built in one day?”
All the experience we’ve accumulated over the years has taken time. A lot of blood, sweat and tears. Plus, the entire point of this is fun! Enjoying yourself and relaxing! Fantasy football! Your own little oasis, build your own fantasy!

I had a fun idea about comparing all my mock draft notes and making a list of each positional player and their ADP. Below is a chart I made after I ran 100 mocks through a simulator. I logged all the top 20 players at each offensive position. This is the chart for wide receivers!
| Player | Position | Team | ADP | Highest | Lowest |
| Michael Thomas | WR | New Orleans | 4 | 1.01 | 1.08 |
| Davante Adams | WR | Green Bay | 8.2 | 1.04 | 1.12 |
| DeAndre Hopkins | WR | Arizona | 8.3 | 1.03 | 2.04 |
| Tyreek Hill | WR | Kansas City | 10.7 | 1.01 | 2.06 |
| Julio Jones | WR | Atlanta | 11 | 1.04 | 2.05 |
| Mike Evans | WR | Tampa Bay | 16.3 | 1.07 | 3.01 |
| Chris Godwin | WR | Tampa Bay | 18.8 | 1.09 | 3.05 |
| Amari Cooper | WR | Dallas | 24 | 2.01 | 3.08 |
| Kenny Golladay | WR | Detroit | 25 | 1.06 | 3.11 |
| Cooper Kupp | WR | Los Angeles | 30.1 | 2.03 | 4.07 |
| Tyler Lockett | WR | Seattle | 31.6 | 2.12 | 4.04 |
| Adam Thielen | WR | Minnesota | 32.1 | 2.03 | 4.12 |
| Keenan Allen | WR | Los Angeles | 32.3 | 2.05 | 4.12 |
| D.J. Chark | WR | Jacksonville | 39.1 | 3.04 | 4.08 |
| Deebo Samuel | WR | San Francisco | 40.3 | 3.01 | 5.03 |
| T.Y. Hilton | WR | Indianapolis | 40.6 | 3.03 | 5.1 |
| Calvin Ridley | WR | Atlanta | 41.8 | 3.04 | 6.01 |
| Tyler Boyd | WR | Cincinnati | 42.4 | 3.11 | 5.05 |
| Robert Woods | WR | Los Angeles | 45.5 | 3.07 | 5.05 |
| D.K. Metcalf | WR | Seattle | 45.8 | 2.11 | 7.04 |
| Michael Gallup | WR | Dallas | 46.7 | 4.01 | 6.06 |
| A.J. Brown | WR | Tennessee | 52.9 | 3.01 | 7.03 |
| Jarvis Landry | WR | Cleveland | 54.5 | 4.04 | 6.12 |
| Allen Robinson | WR | Chicago | 57.5 | 3.05 | 7.02 |
| Brandin Cooks | WR | Houston | 60 | 4.1 | 7.1 |
As you can see I listed the top 25 WR at this moment in time. We could argue 11-20 but why? All these guys are capable and will continue to hold value.
Personally, I’m not a fan of Cooks at #25. When you dig in to his production you’ll see he’s no slouch. Just a head injury risk.
Odell Beckham Jr. did not make the top 25 WR. So that tells you how little faith the fantasy football community has in his right now.
Tyler Boyd has taken a huge leap with an overall ADP of #18. That could be due to the upcoming draft and Cincinnati drafting Burrow #1 overall. I get the thought process but I fully expect his ADP to right itself and Boyd falling back into the ADP 30’s.
I’m not a fan of T.Y. Hilton at his ADP of WR16. I’ve discussed him in length in Fantasy Hell and the Sell! Sell! Sell! article.
Sad to say but there is no fun to be had with the wide receiver ADP! The top 10 guys are legit! As we continue towards the fantasy football season these will move and we will be able to see more trends. This is just the start of it all! Expect updated ADP content along the way.
