REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Total ADP anchoring, passed on a guy I actually liked just because his ADP said too early."

LORE & ORIGIN

A predictive term describing a cognitive bias already visible in fantasy draft behavior, borrowing 'anchoring' from decision-theory vocabulary and applying it to over-reliance on a single market statistic.
