Average Draft Position (ADP) can vary wildly from platform to platform. That's why we display multiple sources when presenting the Footballguys ADP.
On one site, you could be drafting against people who overvalue a player. On another site, that same player could be vastly undervalued.
Let's concentrate on the ADP from ESPN and find the values at running back when you draft on that platform. Your competitors will try to leave good players for you to draft. Let them.

ESPN Value: Chase Brown, Cincinnati
What ESPN drafters think: The Cincinnati offense is all passing, so running backs don't matter.
Why they are wrong: They are half right here. The Bengals passed on a league-high 63.2% of their offensive plays in 2024. But their running back does matter. Last year, Chase Brown had over 60% of the team's rushes and was fourth in targets. After Zack Moss was hurt, Brown had at least 80% of the snaps in every game before sitting out in Week 18. This year, Moss is still hurt, and Samaje Perine and Tahj Brooks are nowhere near Brown's talent level. He's the guy and will get plenty of looks.
