In today's Fantasy Life Newsletter, presented by Homage:

On a recent episode of the Fantasy Life show, Ian, Dwain, and Chris debated whether Saquon Barkley would be the 1.01 if we drafted today.

What makes this discussion particularly fun is that it doesn’t have to be a hypothetical.

Not only do we have our very own rest-of-season ranks thanks to Waz, but Underdog recently launched an in-season tournament and we can see where drafters are actually selecting these guys after three weeks of action.

Here are a few ADPs that stood out to me:

  • Saquon Barkley (ADP: 2) - He’s behind only Justin Jefferson right now and that’s more of a positional scarcity thing than anything else (Waz has him as the 1.01). I’m extremely underinvested in Barkley this year and it feels bad, man.
     
  • Rashee Rice (ADP: 7) - Travis Kelce has plummeted all the way to pick 69 while drafters rightfully chase the insane floor/ceiling combo that Rice provides.
     
  • Jayden Daniels (ADP: 60) - Daniels is up 40+ spots from his August ADP and is now going as the QB6. That’s too low still, IMO. He should be going in the 4th round right next to Kyler Murray.
     
  • Jordan Mason (ADP: 61)—This ADP is rapidly adjusting (it opened at 93), but Mason is by far the most mispriced player on the board right now. He should be a late-second-round pick, right around Derrick Henry and James Cook.
     
  • Bucky Irving (ADP: 91)—The flippening we imagined earlier this week has already taken place on Underdog with Bucky going ahead of Rachaad White (ADP: 103).
     
  • Mark Andrews (ADP: 123)—Andrews has slid 70+ spots from his preseason ADP and I’m still not sure it’s enough.

Let’s revisit some of these again in another three weeks …
