ECR stands for “Expert Consensus Ranking,” which means the average ranks of the fantasy football industry and is typically similar to ADP (which differs from site-to-site). This will be an ongoing positional series highlighting some big differences between ECR and my own ranks.
Players who should go higher/later: Quarterback I Running Back I Wide Receiver I Tight End
Wide Receivers I like less than consensus
Deebo Samuel, San Francisco 49ers (ECR = WR7 vs DDD = WR13)
Samuel is being drafted as a borderline top-five fantasy receiver despite not ranking top-50 in routes run or top-25 in targets last season.
