Notes
Draft Paths Deep Dive
Each early-round route on its own.
- A route is the roster slot taken in each of the opening rounds. Three rounds is the opening that still repeats. Choose one and the chart follows only those teams.
- After the opening, the bands are where that route splits. A brighter band won its league more often than the contest.
- ADP is that player's average overall pick in this contest, through round 30. The bar is the middle half of the players taken at that step.
- Auction drafts have no round order. Builds shows which players were bought together, and Allocation shows where the dollars went.
- Most common opening in this compare: OF → OF → SP, 175 of 5,113 teams.
- OF → Middle IF → Corners won 19.1% of its leagues, from 110 teams. The contest win rate is 6.8%.

Round by round
ADP at each opening step
The bar is the middle half of the contest ADP. The tick is the median. A lower pick is earlier.
Common routes
The white mark is the contest win rate. The bars use one scale, so a longer bar won more often.
