Welcome to our latest fantasy football feature, “Fantasy Football ADP Risers and Fallers,” where we delve into the shifting tides of player valuations over the past month; July 14th – June 14th to be exact.

As the NFL preseason approaches and teams begin to take shape, understanding these movements in Average Draft Position (ADP) can be crucial in planning your draft strategy as things shift due to training camp news. In this article, we’ll explore the players who have seen their stock soar and those who have dipped since mid-June to shed light on potential reasons behind these changes.

To enhance your experience and analysis, we’ve included a variety of charts and graphics. These visual aids will help you better understand the magnitude of these shifts and the trends that could be impacting player valuations.

The top takeaway: draft Jaylen Waddle before it’s too late. The same is true for Rashee Rice, who drafters are taking more confidently with the potential suspension looking like it will happen later rather than sooner. He’s already starting to quietly creep back up the rankings and in ADP. Rice’s ADP fell dramatically concerning his off-the-field issues earlier this year, so it’s anybody’s guess when or how long Rice will be suspended with the most likely outcome somewhere from 4-to-6 games.

Fantasy managers tend to never quite accurately predict the suspension length and when it occurs, given the appeal and legal processes, etc. It’s entirely possible Rice could be suspended for fewer games and it may not even happen until the 2025 season.

Recall Alvin Kamara’s suspension was dragged through 18 months before he served a three-game suspension at the start of 2023. One way or another, once we get concrete information about Rice, you are either going to see his ADP rise or the ADPs of his WR Chiefs teammates — Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy — jump after news breaks.

Recall that Brown has had stretches of WR1 production. In 2022, Brown was the WR6 through the first six weeks of the 2022 season. In the eight games played without DeAndre Hopkins, Brown averaged nearly 12.3 points per game in half-PPR (WR15).

The Bears receivers are also down across the board because there are “too many mouths to feed.” Mike Williams is down big as well, obviously based on him featured in my latest video of “8 Fantasy Football Players You Should Avoid Drafting at ALL COSTS” in 2024. Sorry, Big Mike. I’m a company man. Pro Bowler Marvin Mims Jr. is also down 15 spots. Yes, he was a Pro Bowler last season. Give ’em hell Marv.

Can’t say the same for Steelers rookie WR Roman Wilson. Nothing positive has come out of Steelers camp about any WR after George Pickens.

Ergo…the MUTH IS LUTH.
