This is normally utilized in a report or cheat sheet that lists NFL players by the position they are predicted to be drafted in fantasy football drafts on average. ADP can be a useful draft preparation tool.  \nAuction Draft-A type of fantasy draft in which owners are allotted a certain amount of fantasy cash to fill their roster spots by bidding on NFL players. Owners take turns introducing a player up for bid. Each owner may bid on any player he likes, or choose not to bid on a specific player. However, if an owner introduces a player they are required to bid on them. The highest bidder obtains rights to that player and adds them to his roster. But if an owner overspends on one player, therest of his roster might suffer because he does not have enough remaining cash to fill other positions with quality players.  \nAuction Draft League-A fantasy football league that utilizes the Auction Draft system to create the teams that compete in the league.  \nBasic Scoring-The point system for fantasy football leagues where points are only earned when your starting players score touchdowns, field goals, and extra points. No extra points are gained for yardage, etc.  \nBench Players-Players owned by a team but are not in a team's starting lineup. Bench player stats do not count toward ateam's final score.  \nBust-A player usually drafted in the first three rounds of a fantasy draft who is predicted to have a good season but instead has a poor one.  \nBye Week-Each NFL team plays 16 games out of 17 weeks in the NFL schedule. The week that they don't play a game is called their bye week. When selecting players for your fantasy team be sure that each position has some players off on different bye weeks, so that you do not end up with no players for that position on a particular week.  \nCheat Sheet-A drafting tool that lists NFL players ranked in terms of their fantasy potential. Cheat Sheets are generally used to assist fantasy football players in their draft decisions by ranking players overall or by position.  \nCleared Waivers-Refers to a player who was released by another team and is now available to be selected by another team. See both \"Waivers\" and \"Free Agent\".  \nCommissioner-The person responsible for maintaining the fantasy football league, determining draft order, running the draft, collecting entrance fees (if any), setting up the game schedule, reporting the results of the fantasy games, and generally keeping things running smoothly. It is important for the commissioner to be unbiased, honest and detail oriented.  \nConstitution – A set of rules used to run a Fantasy Football League.  \nCut-Also called \"Drop\". This is to remove a player from your roster.  \nDepth Chart-A list ofall players on a (NFL or Fantasy) team's roster, with rankings from starter to second-string and third-string players.  \nD-Short for “Defense” or “Defensive Line”  \nD/S-Short for “Defense/Special Teams”  \nDB-Short for “Defensive Back”, used in IDP Leagues.  \nDL-Short for “Defensive Lineman”, used in IDP Leagues.  \nDraft-The meeting of the team owners and the league commissioner before the NFL season starts where the owners select the players for their fantasy teams. Team owners take turns selecting players to fill out their roster. (Most leagues only allow one fantasy team to own a particular NFL player.)  \nDraft, Auction-A type of fantasy draft in which owners are allotted a certain amount of fantasy cash to fill their roster spots by bidding on NFL players. Owners take turns introducing a player up for bid. Each owner may bid on any player he likes, or choose not to bid on a specific player. However, if an owner introduces a player they are required to bid on them. The highest bidder obtains rights to that player and adds them to his roster.
