I MUST be using the VBD app wrong...... (1 Viewer)

So, I double checked and I indeed inputted my info correctly. It's telling me Benson is the 11 rb despite a 2.12 adp, Adrian Peterson at 18, despite a 4.10 adp. Terrel Owens as the #1 WR.......What gives?

ADP tells you what the herd is thinking. VBD tells you who Dodds thinks you should take. They better be different or else David is talking to way too many people. ADP should be used to guide you later in the draft, it tells you when you need to take a player you like. VDB is used in the beginning of the draft where it tells you the relative value of the players available to you at your draft spot. Neither should be taken as gospel.

Right, right. I've been doing this a long time and understand all principles.....I was just surprised that the rankings of Benson, Peterson, etc. were so high compared to their adp. I also hadn't noticed that Dodds was ranking TO #1.
 
I'm looking at Dodd's projections on the main site and Benson and Peterson are both 5 spots higher in my custom list than his generic list.....no problem, but Ahman is in the exact same spot......no ppr so I'm wondering why those 2 bump up with my point system.

1 pt. per 20 yds rushing or receiving

3 pt. bonus for 100+

6 pt. td

-2 fumble
