Happy Friday, and welcome to August!

There are now FIVE weekends that stand between us and NFL kickoff. Five more weekends to jam in fantasy drafts. Five more weekends to speculate how much playing time Travis Hunter will see on offense.

It’s grind time.

Let’s get to draft prepping!

📝 Draft Day Cheat Sheet

Welcome to Year 2 of my draft cheat sheet - JuiceSheets!

These sheets pair nicely with my Abusing Draft Rankings as it includes projections and a value column for Standard, Half PPR and PPR scoring on ESPN, Sleeper and Yahoo. Check it out as a tool to use as you draft.

🏷️ This Week’s Draft Values

Every week I’ll highlight draft values found in draft rooms, primarily using my Abusing Draft Rankings tool to help find these players.

NYJ WR Garrett Wilson - ESPN

Draft room rank: WR17 | Expert rank: WR13
Landmine Score: 5.4

Garrett Wilson is ranked 22nd overall in FantasyPros ECR as the WR13. On ESPN, he appears in draft rooms 36th overall as the WR17. He is the earliest value you can find on ESPN - 14 picks later than he is ranked! Wilson, to me, is a solid third-round pick no matter where you take him (early, late, maybe even right before), and luckily on ESPN you have that chance to scoop him at any point.

IND WR Josh Downs - ESPN

Draft room rank: WR63 | Expert rank: WR42
Landmine Score: 2.8

Josh Downs has the widest difference in rank among all players in ESPN draft rooms in comparison to FantasyPros rankings. In FantasyPros ECR he is in the top-100 players at 96th, while ESPN draft rooms have him at 148th overall. The Colts WR room right now sees Downs and Michael Pittman vying for the WR1 role, in which Downs was the fantasy points leader last year. For a cheap, 12th round pick on ESPN… I’m in on Downs.

LAR WR Davante Adams - Sleeper

Draft room rank: WR20 | Expert rank: WR16
Landmine Score: 5.3

Davante Adams appears on the Sleeper draft rankings a full round later than he is ranked on FantasyPros - 42nd on Sleeper vs 29th on FantasyPros. It’s not a big difference, but a full round difference in those early rounds is substantial. I’m in on Adams this year, especially with a Sleeper discount.

Returning Values

• NO WR Chris Olave - ESPN

• LV WR Jakobi Meyers - Yahoo

New for 2025: Landmine Score - It’s a 0-10 scale that rates how risky a player is in your draft room - based on how much earlier they’re ranked on your platform versus expert consensus.

Most players land somewhere in the 5-6 range. A score of 10 means they’re being pushed way up the board and you’re probably walking into a trap. A 0? That’s a straight-up steal.
