Good news for you drafters who prefer old-fashioned pen and paper.  The ADP now comes in a printable PDF!

This new feature is available to all premium members.  Every format and league size of ADP now has a link that will generate a color-coded, draftboard-style, 1-page PDF for you.  Here is an example PDF, and below is a small thumbnail of what it looks like:

If you’re the kind of person who prefers to check off names as they’re selected in a draft, then give the printable ADP a chance.  Sign up for a premium membership to get instant access to the PDFs.

It’s time to get up to speed on your signal callers.  This edition of the Fantasy Football Calculator Average Draft Position update will highlight a trend that you need to be aware of.  Many early and late-round quarterbacks are rising in ADP.  If you’re targeting a specific quarterback, he may be drafted sooner than you expect.

(All graphs below use data from 12-team mock drafts, with the most recent update on Sunday, August 21st.)

Late-round Risers

Some of the biggest risers are the young guns Matthew Stafford and Sam Bradford.  They have moved out of the backup fantasy QB role and are now being considered as low-end QB1s as the 12th and 14th QBs taken off of the board.

Another late-round pick that’s getting more popular is Kevin Kolb.  He’s the 15th QB off the board in round 10.  Considering that he has Larry Fitzgerald to throw to, expectations still seem somewhat low for the unproven quarterback.

Early-round Risers

Not only are late-round sleepers climbing out of the cellar, but stud QBs are becoming even more expensive as well.  Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, and Tom Brady are all showing increases in ADP:

Is Anyone Falling?

Yes, there are some quarterbacks who are actually falling in the drafts.  Peyton Manning, due to his latest neck injury concerns, is the most notable quarterback falling in the drafts.  He’s now slipped into the beginning of the fourth round.

In addition to Manning, Jay Cutler and Joe Flacco are getting cheaper to draft every day.  The change in their ADP may be due to lack of upside.  They’ve been passed up by Stafford and Bradford, who both have higher ceilings.

Draft Them Early!

Regardless of who you’re targeting as your fantasy QB, he’s probably increasing in value.  Keep an eye on his ADP and make sure you know when to pull the trigger.

Today, the site had significant server upgrades to help handle the high traffic of the upcoming season.  It was also the final step of switching over from Amazon hosting over to Linode.  This is in response to the issues described in my post about downtime back in April.  The site is now on more reliable hardware and takes more frequent off-site backups.

However, most of the day today had glitches due to software bugs with the mock drafts and premium applications that were caused by the upgrade.  Those issues have now all been fixed, and it looks like everything is running smoothly.  I apologize for the bugs that happened today.

Anyway, this is hopefully the last administrative blog post I’ll need to write this year.  With this migration complete, there should be more time for traditional fantasy football related posts in the near future.
