Norwood, Dunn ADP tightening
I am tackling some Average Draft Position (ADP) information in my column today, but I thought it was worth re-visiting some other trends on the blog for a final time before we truly get ready for Week 1. All the ADP information was created by averaging the publicly available ADP feeds at MockDraftCentral.com, AntSports.com, and MyFantasyleague.com.
Let's start with a final look at the Atlanta running backs.
Jerious Norwood (RB29, 66 overall)
Warrick Dunn (RB39, 99 overall)
These numbers are tightening in recent days, and may be even closer by the end of draft season. Norwood was at risk of getting overhyped, but the latest news may help him become a better value. Sometimes you have to make judgement calls on a player's ability. Norwood is very talented young player and is going to hit enough big plays. I don't expect Warrick Dunn to play well enough to help fantasy teams this season, whether he starts Week 1 or not.
At this price, Norwood is a decent RB3 option. There are some safer picks being drafted behind him (Julius Jones, LaMont Jordan, LenDale White), but there are also some uninspiring selections being taken in front (Jamal Lewis). The Atlanta offense is my biggest concern. Norwood looks like a good, not great, third back and that's how he's being drafted.
