Skin in the Game and the Wisdom of the Sharks, Part 2: The 10 Best Home League Wide Receiver Values

Blair Andrews finds the 10 wide receivers that high-stakes drafters are scooping up while your home league opponents remain skeptical. Swim with the sharks and bring home a championship.

If you haven’t yet read the introduction to the running back piece, go there eventually (perhaps after you read this article). This gist is this: high-stakes drafters aren’t omniscient, but they do have a potent feedback loop. When outcomes are tied to lofty entry fees, mistakes are expensive. Those who make a lot of mistakes eventually go broke. Over time this has the effect of decreasing the number of mistake-prone drafters who are entering, and thus the number of mistakes. It’s for this reason that FFPC ADP is often sharper than your home league provider’s ADP, and why exploiting the differences between those two ADP sets can lead to big home league wins. Thus, you don’t have to actually have much skin in the game to be able to benefit from the concept.

The 10 WRs below are all going earlier in FFPC drafts than on at least one of the major home league sites — in some cases, significantly so. I’ve listed the positional ADPs for each provider, so you can tailor the advice to your specific draft plan. If you play on Yahoo, Kevin Szafraniec’s Yahoo Draft Plan is required reading.

Game-Level Similarity Projections and Weekly Rankings: The Wrong Read, Week 6

Blair Andrews October 11, 2025

One of my favorite ways to prep for the upcoming week of football games is to use the GLSP tool. Those projections use sophisticated modeling techniques to find a range of outcomes, and as such they do a better job of capturing the inherent uncertainty of weekly projections than many other systems. But they aren’t perfect: they are blind to a few factors, such as…...
