Overvalued & Undervalued Players

Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza

When it comes to college fantasy football drafting, Purple Reign knows that its important to understand draft value. When you combine player rankings and ADP (average draft position) data you can cross reference the two to evaluate draft value. There are players that get drafted above their draft value while other players are drafted below their draft value. You’ll want to avoid reaching for overvalued players while understanding that you can wait to select under valued players. Below Joe Arpasi reviews his featured players for overvalued and under valued players.
