Best Ball Mania IV is in full swing, and player ADPs are becoming more rigid every day as drafters anchor to the number next to a player’s name. This situation gives savvy drafters an advantage though, as it makes it much easier to plan a draft round-by-round.

Using our Underdog ADP tool — now with the ability to show an ADP Draft Grid — we can find our favorite targets in every round and adjust our early-round structure accordingly. With this in mind, here are a few of my favorite targets in the first half of fantasy drafts so far. As the offseason goes on, these are likely to change, and I will update this article periodically to reflect that.

Current ADP (as of May 29)

My favorite way to get a quick view of ADP and to get a sense of a player’s general range is to use the ADP Draft Grid view. This makes it easy to see the rounds in which I need to target my favorite players and to formulate a draft plan before the first pick is even made. Here’s a look at the first nine rounds from the last week of BBM4 drafts.

Gabe Davis’ Impressive Peripherals Hide Some Concerning Advanced Metrics, But Can He Still Provide the Boost Jacksonville Is Looking For?

The Jaguars were one of the first movers in free agency, signing wide receiver Gabe Davis to a three-year deal worth a maximum of $50 million (with $24 million fully guaranteed). Davis has been one of the premier long-touchdown specialists of the last few years, even as many of his key metrics are routinely underwhelming. Yet after Calvin Ridley signed with the Tennessee Titans, Davis…...

Misunderstood But Dynamic and Multifaceted, Is D’Andre Swift the Perfect Fit in Chicago?

The Chicago Bears wasted little time in free agency signing the most exciting running back to hit the market. That may sound controversial in a free agent class that includes Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard, and Austin Ekeler. But Chicago’s new starting RB, D’Andre Swift, is the youngest of the bunch, and the only one of the group to finish with positive rushing efficiency…....
