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 → Corners, 151 of 2,808 teams.
- OF → SP → Corners won 22.1% of its leagues, from 95 teams. The contest win rate is 8.4%.
