Off-Season Mock Drafts: Best Ball ADP, Part II: Deep Dive

In my last article, I looked at the most recent Best Ball ADP from Fantasy Pros and gave my take on the round-by-round action until we got to round 13. I stopped at that point because I started seeing QB3s come off the board, and I thought that was where people stopped caring.

Well, apparently, that is not the case. I got a couple of requests to dig deeper as people wanted to see what was happening in the late rounds, so although I had other plans for this week, I thought I would go back to the well one more time. This week, I'll hit the late rounds. I'll double-dip on round 13 as some of the ADP has changed since the last article, and I'll keep going until round 23, giving us another 10 rounds, bringing us to pick 276. That should be plenty deep for people.

Round 13

Since Fantasy Pros constantly updates their best ball ADP, I thought I would cover round 13 again. We see our first quarterbacks outside of the top 24 with Geno Smith and Cam Ward. If Smith had better weapons, I would love him as my third quarterback, but with the Raiders' receiving corps as it stands, he's not a lock to do much in 2025.

If you're into handcuffs, we've got several options starting to pop up here. Jaydon Blue is only behind Javonte Williams. I love Ray Davis as a stand-alone pick, and the sky is the limit if something were to happen to James Cook. I mentioned in the previous article that Austin Ekeler has more PPR upside than anyone else in the double-digit rounds. Rico Dowdle is a competent NFL running back and is the only other option in Carolina should something happen to Chuba Hubbard. And we get another rookie in Dylan Sampson, who would have to compete with Jerome Ford for work if Quinshon Judkins were to stumble or get hurt.
