More on Avdija and the F board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #10 overall, #5 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 35.2 (roughly round 4 in a 10-team league). We rank him #6, so he is a value at that price.
We project 43.9 points per game across an expected 72 games — approximately 3161 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 37.3 and 51.2 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #6 in projected scoring.
Based on 2025-26 production, Deni Avdija finished #47 in 9-cat and #23 in 8-cat leagues by per-game z-score value, versus #10 in points formats. High turnovers cost him in 9-cat — he climbs to #23 when turnovers are excluded.
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 85% of games, with a floor of 29.8 and a ceiling of 57.5 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 16% of games and busted (under half his average) in 7%.
