Comparing the DFO Top 300 vs. Yahoo ADP

Draft day is all about finding value and avoiding ADP landmines. Knowing where players are being drafted compared to where they should be selected can give you the edge you need to build a championship roster. That’s why we’ve put together the Consensus DFO Top 300 Rankings, combining the rankings of five different Fantasy Hockey analysts. Then, we lined those rankings up against Yahoo’s Average Draft Position (ADP) to identify the biggest gaps.

The result? A clear picture of who’s being overdrafted, who’s slipping too far, and where the best bargains are hiding. Whether you’re looking for early-round pillars, mid-round steals, or late-round lottery tickets, this comparison will show you where you can gain real value in your Yahoo draft this fall.
