Fantasy Football Stock Watch Risers and Fallers: J.J. McCarthy, Tyreek Hill And More Are Moving

Fantasy Football Stock Watch Risers and Fallers: J.J. McCarthy, Tyreek Hill And More Are Moving

Geoff Ulrich examines all 32 NFL teams and their training camp storylines to see if any players should have their fantasy stock move up or down.

As training camp rolls on and preseason begins, I’ll be doing weekly tracking of the biggest storylines, headlines, and news and notes for all 32 teams. 

Specifically, I’ll be examining which players' ADPs have been gaining steam or traction, as well as noting any important news, such as injuries or off-field issues, and how these have impacted ADP. 

I’ll also be giving you updates from our FantasyLife ADP Tool, which tracks players’ ADPs across all major sites, including Underdog. 

Tracking the difference between players' ADPs on redraft sites like Sleeper or ESPN versus Underdog is important, as Underdog best ball players are drafting nonstop over the summer, and the drafts there will always be more reflective of the latest valuations (at least until we get to mid-August). 

In short, if a player’s Underdog ADP is way higher or lower than his consensus on redraft sites, I’ll make a note. 

And also just a quick note, you can get access to the ADP Tool with a FantasyLife+ subscription, which comes with a ton of other cool stuff like weekly and yearly projections, and the Utilization Report, which gives you the best week-to-week player usage information in the biz, among other amazing stuff.

Fantasy Football Risers And Fallers

ARI_cardinals-logo.svg Arizona Cardinals

 Marvin Harrison Jr. | WR 📈

Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride have been near each other in ADP most of the offseason, with McBride going slightly ahead of the second-year wideout. 

That gap is closing as Underdog drafters have moved Harrison’s ADP down to 27.9, with McBride now going above 26.0. 

A few circus catches from Harrison during training camp have likely helped the hype. 

Trey Benson 🥶

I highlighted Trey Benson as a potential mover in the pre-training camp article, as he was getting lots of buzz and his ADP was starting to fall in the best ball streets. 

Benson is having a good camp thus far, but there hasn’t been any news or new reason to be extra bullish on him, and his ADP has been rising a bit as a result (144 on UD and over 150 ADP on many redraft sites). 

He seems locked into a clear backup role at the moment, with a 1A/1B situation with James Conner potentially being his ceiling—unless Conner gets injured. 

ATL_falcons-logo.svg Atlanta Falcons

 Kyle Pitts 📈

Kyle Pitts had been sitting with an ADP of 150 on Underdog in mid-July, and still is almost always readily available in the last 4-5 rounds of the draft. 

However, his ADP has been on the move (up to 147 on UD) after getting talked up by Michael Penix. The injury to Darnell Mooney has helped Pitts gain steam as well. 

As much as this feels a bit like “Hopium,” Pitts is still (remarkably) just 24 years old, and may be the clear-cut No. 2 pass catcher to start the season in Atlanta should Mooney not be fully recovered. 

Valuation-wise, I don’t see any reason to stop drafting Pitts at these levels and could see his ADP rise substantially throughout August. 

Get ready to get hurt again.

BAL_ravens-logo.svg Baltimore Ravens

Isaiah Likely 📉

Isaiah Likely broke a bone in his foot in training camp. Reports have him slated for a six-week recovery and very questionable for Week 1. 

Even if he’s ready, he seems “likely” to start in a limited role, rather than a clear time share. 

He’s now going well outside the top 150 on Underdog and into the 160s on some redraft sites. 

If you don’t mind a little risk, this is a great time to pick up some shares of the third-year TE, who should still be a big part of the offense once he returns to full health. 

Mark Andrews 📈

Andrews is now going just outside the top 100 on Underdog, and his ADP on redraft sites is substantially lower. 

The injury to Likely has boosted his short-term value substantially, as he’ll have a shot at operating as a pure TE1 for at least the first couple of games in a dynamic offense. 

BUF_bills-logo.svg Buffalo Bills

Joshua Palmer 🚀

Reports have been very positive on Joshua Palmer in Bills camp, and with no clear-cut No. 1 receiver in Buffalo, it’s allowed him to gain traction as a viable late-round option. 

His ADP has moved up largely over the last couple of weeks, and he’s now in the top 150 on Underdog. 

Redraft sites still have Palmer going at 170 or higher, so this is a story the general public may not have caught on to yet. 

Update: With Khalil Shakir going down for multiple weeks with a high ankle sprain the door is open for Palmer’s ADP to drop even more. 

Palmer is dealing with a groin issue, but it doesn’t sound serious and if he rejoins his teammates after a couple of days, his momentum will build fast. 

CAR_panthers-logo.svg Carolina Panthers

There hasn’t been a ton to report in terms of ADP movement in Carolina. Tetairoa McMillan is locked in as the WR1 and going around 40.0 on Underdog. 

Chuba Hubbard is also locked in as RB1 and going around 52.0. 

Only an injury seems likely to move those numbers or create movement for their backups. 

Ja’Tavion Sanders  

Ja'Tavion Sanders is one name I’d keep an eye on. He was essentially free in the final rounds of drafts in July, but he is garnering some buzz and is pushing to move inside the top 200 on Underdog (currently an ADP of 203, but rising there). 

The WR depth chart behind McMillan is slim, so, if you like Sanders, moving up a round to get him right now is likely the correct play. 

CHI_bears-logo.svg Chicago Bears

Colston Loveland 🚀

This is what I wrote about Colston Loveland in the first preseason roundup:

“Former starting TE Cole Kmet, who has a $50M contract, still exists, and that has likely kept Loveland’s ADP suppressed somewhat. If Kmet runs with the starters in preseason (or vice versa), it could cause a big panic move down for Loveland.”

Well, reports from Bears camp have Loveland working exclusively with Caleb Williams, and the duo is forming a connection. As expected, Loveland’s ADP is dropping on most sites (best ball and redraft), and he’s nearly inside the top 120 on Underdog (123). 

If he impresses during preseason, saddle up and get ready to pay a premium the rest of the offseason. 

The buy-low window may be about the close. 

CIN_bengals-logo.svg Cincinnati Bengals

Mike Gesicki 📉

Mike Gesicki was starting to gain some steam in July. As a late-round pick, he gives drafters easy exposure to the Bengals offense without sacrificing high draft capital. However, since July a couple of things have occurred that have scared off drafters. 

First, Noah Fant signed with Cincinnati. Even if Fant doesn’t take over as the clear-cut No. 1 TE he’s still a more well-rounded player than Gesicki and likely to take some target share. 

Two, Gesicki is now banged up

His ADP has now fallen to 175 on Underdog and I can’t see him rising anytime soon. 

One note, Gesicki does play mainly from the slot. He also was the biggest beneficiary from a fantasy perspective last year when Tee Higgins went down. It’s possible the Fant concern is just noise and created a great buy-low opportunity for the talented Gesicki. 

CLE_browns-logo.svg Cleveland Browns

Dylan Sampson 📈

Here is what I wrote on Sampson in the July article when the Quinshon Judkins news started to come out:

“Jerome Ford is the veteran back who is likely to benefit the most from any Judkins absence. Rookie fifth-rounder Dylan Sampson was drafted more as a change-of-pace option, but could be called into more of a tandem role. 

Sampson’s ADP has risen substantially of late, and he’s going well inside the top 200 now on Underdog.”

Sampson’s ADP is now under 150 (141), and he’s going at least 20 spots in front of Ford. It’s a tricky spot because the Browns would love Sampson to win the starting job outright, but also drafted him to be a complementary piece to Judkins. 

Preseason games will likely have a big impact on the Browns RB ADPs, as well as any news on Judkins. 

However, for now, Sampson is the one getting all the love in fantasy. 

DAL_cowboys-logo.svg Dallas Cowboys

George Pickens 📈

Here is what I wrote about Pickens in July. 

“People are starting to realize the potential George Pickens might have if he plays a full season on an offense that actually wants to throw him the ball

Pickens has been a mover on Underdog and is now going in the top 50 picks there with a 49.7 ADP (as of writing). 

So far, this hasn’t affected CeeDee Lamb’s ADP at all, although if Pickens were to ball out in preseason, it could start to frighten some people from drafting Lamb in the top 5.”

Lamb’s ADP is now starting to creep up on redraft sites (his ADP on Yahoo and ESPN is above 7.0). He has benefited somewhat from the injury to Justin Jefferson in best ball as he’s still sitting with a 4.4 ADP on Underdog. 

Pickens, meanwhile, continues to rise. His ADP on Underdog is now 47.3, 2.5 spots higher than it was in July. 

If he balls out in preseason, I see the gap between these two shrinking more. 

DEN_broncos-logo.svg Denver Broncos

J.K. Dobbins 📈

Here is what I wrote about J.K. Dobbins in the July update:

“Dobbins’ ADP on Underdog has shot up to where he is now going around 112, making him one of the more pricey, or elite, “handcuffs.” That’s about 30 spots higher than his ADP on most redraft sites.”

Checking in now and both Dobbins’ and RJ Harvey’s ADP have shot down a bit. 

Dobbins, specifically, is now sitting with an ADP of 107.8 on Underdog. The price is getting steeper on Dobbins, but if he does end up getting more early-down and inside-the-5 carries then he is still by far the best value in the Broncos backfield at the moment. 

Pat Bryant 🧐

One other Bronco name to note is rookie Pat Bryant. Bryant was highlighted in our Rookie WRs article early in the offseason and is gaining steam as camp progresses. 

There isn’t a ton of talent in front of Bryant to worry about, outside of obvious No. 1 Courtland Sutton, either. 

While once almost free at the end of drafts, he’s now going inside the top 170 on Underdog and would gain more steam if he performs well in the first couple of preseason games. 

DET_lions-logo.svg Detroit Lions

Jameson Williams 🧐

Here is what I wrote about Jameson Williams in the July update:

“Everyone seems to be chasing the value on Williams, who broke out at the end of last year and posted his first 1,000-yard season. 

"He’s also gotten constant steam (positive) from coaches this offseason. 

"His 46.7 ADP on Underdog is now 15-20 spots lower than it is on most redraft sites. 

"It’s hard to see him going much higher than this, but it could happen if St. Brown misses time at camp.”

This situation is in a holding pattern as Amon-Ra St. Brown is healthy and practicing in full. His ADP has stabilized around 11.7, leaving him with a very late first-round valuation. 

As of now, it looks we might need an injury to either player to get signicant movement. 

GB_packers-logo.svg Green Bay Packers

Matthew Golden 🤔

Here is what I wrote about Matthew Golden in July:

“The rookie is becoming the Green Bay WR that drafters are flocking to. He’s got a 77.3 ADP on Underdog, while his redraft ADP remains above 90 on many sites. 

"This is another case of, 'if he shows well in preseason, his ADP could move big.'"

Right now, Golden seems to be the Green Bay WR that the market wants to trust.

Nothing much has changed here. No Packer WR is going lower than 75 on Underdog and Golden and Jayden Reed (76.2 ADP on Underdog) are going in almost the same spot. 

Tucker Kraft is slated to miss some time with a groin injury so that could vault up one or both names. 

Preseason games may have the biggest impact here as Golden connecting with Jordan Love in an actual game could vault his ADP much lower and well in front of his peer. 

HOU_texans-logo.svg Houston Texans

Joe Mixon 📉

Injury concerns and the recent signing of Nick Chubb with the Texans have had a big impact on Joe Mixon’s valuation this year. Despite rushing for 11 TDs last season in 14 games, Mixon’s ADP is now 71.9 on Underdog and in a bit of a free fall. 

It’s understandable. He started training camp on the PUP list and indications are that he’s now very questionable for Week 1. With Chubb healthy, it’s hard to see the Texans rushing Mixon back. 

I don’t see Mixon dropping too much further, but unless we get positive injury updates soon I doubt he rises anytime soon, either. 

Nick Chubb 📈

Nick Chubb is now sitting at an ADP of 161.8 on Underdog and I could see him moving up substantially throughout August if the Mixon updates are negative. 

Chubb has looked healthy in camp thus far, and is taking a lot of starter reps. 

IND_colts-logo.svg Indianapolis Colts

Anthony Richardson 🚀

Here is what I wrote about Anthony Richardson in July:

“Richardson was just declared healthy for training camp after a shoulder setback. Thus far, it hasn’t affected his ADP much as he’s still going around the 190-200 mark on Underdog. 

"This could change as the battle for who will start Week 1 begins between Richardson and Daniel Jones. It’s a situation that deserves daily monitoring, especially if you’re doing a ton of best ball drafts.”

Well, thus far the reports on Richardson have been extremely positive, and by all accounts he’s taken the clear lead in the QB battle. 

His ADP has been on the move as its now below 180 (179.1) on Underdog. When/If he gets announced as starter I would expect an even more substantial rise. 

The buy-low window is clearly closing fast. 

JAC_jaguars-logo.svgJacksonville Jaguars

Tank Bigsby 🤫

Here is what I wrote about the Jaguars RB situation in July:

“The Jaguars drafted Bhayshul Tuten in the fourth round, and Tank Bigsby is still around. However, Travis Etienne is still the entrenched starter and is hovering around the 100.0 mark in terms of ADP on Underdog, which feels mighty low. 

"If Tuten doesn’t play with the starters, or Bigsby doesn’t impress, it’s quite possible we see Etienne’s ADP rise the next month or two.”

This situation was pretty murky in July, but Bigsby has emerged as the short-term winner. He’s been betting a lot of early-down work with the ones in camp thus far, and his ADP is now 147.6 and creeping steadily closer to Etienne. 

We’ll see how preseason goes, but an explosive rush or two by Bigsby with the starters and we could potentially even see these two flip in ADP by September. 

It’s still murky, but Bigsby looks like the name to chase for now, while his valuation is still low. 

KC_chiefs-logo.svgKansas City Chiefs

Here is what I wrote on the Chiefs WR situation back in July:

Rashee Rice 📉

"Rice looks like he’ll be missing some games this season after he was sentenced early this week for his role in a car crash in Dallas in 2024. 

"This is pretty fresh news, but you can expect his current 21.1 ADP on Underdog to potentially fall pretty hard, unless the NFL somehow comes out and decides not to suspend him."  

Xavier Worthy 📈

"Worthy’s 46.0 ADP on Underdog was already 10+ spots ahead of his ADP on many redraft sites, and you can expect it to move up more after the Rice news. 

Hollywood Brown (136.3 ADP) should also see a decent bump.

Rashee Rice is now going with an ADP of 32 on Underdog, while Worthy is creeping close to the top 40 (42.4). 

Brown is creeping down as well, but still looks like a decent later-round value at 132. 

As of now, a Rice suspension looks baked into all these players' valuations, although I would suspect Brown’s ADP will move a lot when we get concrete info on Rice’s suspension (the more games, the bigger move down obviously). 

OAK_raiders-logo.svg Las Vegas Raiders

Dont’e Thornton 🚀

The man with the first name that is going to frustrate many football writers this season is gaining steam. 

Dont'e Thornton has connected with Geno Smith on a couple of deep plays and is one of those late-round, Metric Darlings who is catching people’s attention. 

He’s still sitting with an ADP of 184.9, but is gaining steam on fellow rookie Jack Bech (167.1). 

LAC_chargers-logo.svg Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers are one of two teams (along with the Lions) who have already played in a preseason game. There wasn’t a whole lot to take from that outing for fantasy as the starters played limited snaps but there are some notes from the play of two rookie WRs. 

Tre Harris 📈

Here is what I write on Tre Harris in July:

“Harris’ ADP has been on the move big time over on Underdog, where he’s nearly cracked the top 100 with a 109.2 ADP as of this week, compared to his redraft ADP, which is still well outside 130 on most sites. 

"He’s someone you’ll want to monitor as preseason progresses. A good showing or exclusive play with the starters may even vault him higher yet.”

Harris had one target and zero catches vs. Detroit. It’s not a cause for concern, but in the era of instant gratification it’s likely to cause a small drop in his ADP going forward. 

Add in Keenan Allen rumors (he’s been talking with the Chargers) and Harris could drop substantially if he doesn’t have a better outing in Game 2. 

KeAndre Lambert-Smith

The Chargers fifth-round pick has been getting rave reviews. He went for 43 yards, 2 catches and a TD vs. the Lions and has been lighting up practices of late as well. 

His ADP is moving, but is still well above 200 on Underdog. If he outperforms Harris in the next game, then I would expect him to be well under 200.0 there by mid-August. 

LA_rams-logo.svg Los Angeles Rams

Jordan Whittington 📈

Here was my Rams July update:

“A couple of Rams' tertiary players in Tutu Atwell and rookie TE Terrance Ferguson got talked up a bit recently ... 

"Atwell’s ADP has started to move just slightly, but is still above 200.00. If he starts in front of Jordan Whittington in preseason, his ADP could drop significantly from there.”

Whittington has really come on in camp for the Rams, causing some writers to question if the Rams made a mistake bringing Atwell back. 

Both of these players (regardless of who plays more) are playing to be third fiddle behind two elite WRs in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, but I would still expect Whittington to be the more popular player between he and Atwell going forward. 

MIA_dolphins-logo.svgMiami Dolphins

Tyreek Hill 🚀

Here is what I wrote on Tyreek Hill in July:

“Hill has been showing his fitness this offseason and looks primed for a comeback sort of season. 

"His ADP on Underdog (22.9) has him going in the late second rounds now and is about 5-10 spots lower than his ADP on redraft sites. If he stays healthy in preseason, expect him to keep getting buzz.”

Drafters have kept flocking to Hill, who now has an ADP of 21.6, and is threatening a move into the top 20. Jaylen Waddle (53.1) has held tight for the most part. 

The real value of this Miami offense may be QB Tua Tagovailoa (150.8), who would benefit greatly if his top two WRs pay off with big seasons. 

MIN_vikings-logo.svg Minnesota Vikings

Jordan Mason 🧐

Jordan Mason’s ADP isn’t moving a ton, but he is starting to gain momentum as the “smart pick” from this backfield. 

His 89.1 ADP is only about six spots behind Aaron Jones now, who is older and has a more extensive injury history. News from the Vikings is that both will play substantially, but if Mason puts in a great preseason it could lead to his and Jones’ ADPs flipping at some point. 

A situation to monitor as the games start. 

J.J. McCarthy 🚀

Here is what I wrote about J.J. McCarthy in July. 

“Right now, McCarthy is on fire on Underdog as his ADP has crept up to 121.9, which is 20+ spots lower than his redraft ADP. 

"He’s going in front of established QBs like Jordan Love and Justin Herbert on the regular. Preseason may give a glimpse of whether the heat on McCarthy is accurate or whether the early adapters may have bought a lemon, from a fantasy perspective.”

McCarthy has held steady at this position and sits around 122 on Underdog as of this writing. If he falters in preseason you could see this higher valuation come down a bit. 

NE_patriots-logo.svgNew England Patriots

TreVeyon Henderson 📈

TreVeyon Henderson has been looking good in camp and despite Rhamondre Stevenson still being projected to take a big portion of the backfield snaps, it hasn’t stopped drafters from taking Henderson substantially higher than the veteran. 

The rookie’s ADP has now moved to 61.2 on Underdog, which is a full 60 spots ahead of Stevenson. 

Even the most ardent Henderson truther may admit this sort of gap may be unwarranted, so anything less than a breakout preseason by Henderson may lead to Stevenson’s ADP dropping a bit. 

NO_saints-logo.svg New Orleans Saints

Here’s what I wrote about the Saints QB situation in July

“There isn’t a ton of big news to report from Saints camp. The team is expected to be one of the worst in the league.

"Tyler Shough recently got a bit of steam from Jon Gruden of all people, but it’s unlikely anything but a couple of really good showings in preseason moves his ADP significantly.”

There has been no clear winner yet with the Saints' rotating QBs, so until there is clarity, expect all Saints QBs to be available in the last round or two. 

Rashid Shaheed 🧐

Shaheed is the one WR to keep track of. He’s flashed in preseason and looks extremely fit and healthy.

He was on track to greatly outperform his ADP last season before getting injured so a good preseason showing by one of the Saints QBs and Shaheed could push him into the top 100 (he’s currently 107 on Underdog). 

NYG_giants-logo.svg New York Giants

Cam Skattebo 🤕

Here is what I wrote about the Tyrone Tracy/Cam Skattebo situation in July:

“Tracy’s ADP is now sitting at 104.0 on Underdog, which is only a few spots higher than rookie Cam Skattebo (111.0). This is a situation where we aren’t likely to know a whole ton about roles until these two take the field. 

"Tracy is certainly the person the market is selling right now, but with the ADP on these two getting so close, you also have to think that if Tracy plays with the starters in preseason, his ADP could go back down and separate from the rookie.”

Skattebo has now closed the gap to just a few spots as his ADP has moved down to 107 on Underdog, with Tracy sitting at 104. It’s not surprising, as the rookie’s hard-running style is the sort that creates highlights and is easy to get behind for fantasy players, casual and serious. 

However, in a very recent development, Skattebo is now out with an injury. If it lingers, expect Tracy’s ADP to start falling soon. 

NYJ_jets-logo.svg New York Jets

Braelon Allen 📈

Braelon Allen has been getting talked up by the head coaches on the Jets, and with Breece Hall’s in the final year of his contract, people have been predicting a bigger role for him. 

His ADP has been one of the biggest movers on the Jets, as he’s now going below 170 on Underdog, still very cheap for an elite backup/handcuff, but he is getting more expensive. 

PHI_eagles-logo.svgPhiladelphia Eagles

Here is a little of what I wrote on the Eagles in July:

“The Champs are running it back with the same offensive core. They do have a new OC in Kevin Patullo, who was the passing game coordinator last season. 

"Usage for players like Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith will be interesting to see in the preseason. 

"Goedert recently reworked his contract, and his connection with Patullo was getting talked up by beat reporters in June.

"Goedert’s Underdog ADP is 138.6, which is slightly lower than on some redraft sites, so he’s become a bit of a popular late-round pick, but is still going well outside the top 8 at his position.”

Honestly, there is not a lot to report or changes in ADP to note. 

Goedert is still going at 138 on Underdog and still looks like a great upside/value at TE for those who miss out on the big three names (George Kittle, Trey McBride, Brock Bowers). 

PIT_steelers-logo.svg Pittsburgh Steelers

Jaylen Warren 📈

Here is what I wrote on the Steelers RB situation in July:

Kaleb Johnson’s ADP has separated from incumbent Jaylen Warren, who seems destined to be the lesser part of a committee again in 2025. Johnson’s ADP has risen to 69.9 on Underdog. 

"If Johnson plays in front of Warren in preseason, this could go lower, although the question marks around the Steelers' effectiveness on offense may hold him back a touch from getting too much steam.”

Warren’s ADP has dropped a bit. He’s now firmly inside the top 100 at 95.8 on Underdog, even though Johnson’s ADP is strong at 68 as well. 

People may have forgotten that Warren himself is a pretty solid player (and someone people have been chasing for a huge season for years now). If Johnson falters or doesn’t look great in preseason, I see Warren potentially closing the gap fast in August. 

SF_49ers-logo.svg San Francisco 49ers

Ricky Pearsall 👀

Here is some of what I wrote on Jauan Jennings in July. 

“With news out of San Francisco today that both Ricky Pearsall and Brandon Aiyuk have been placed on the NFI to start training camp, his leverage over the 49ers is massive. 

Jennings’ ADP is already sitting at 64.9 on Underdog, but if this contract issue gets resolved quickly, it could plummet. Outside of George Kittle, Jennings remains the 49ers' only trustworthy receiver at the moment.”

Well, things have changed somewhat in SF since this blurb. Jennings is now banged up (calf) and sitting out, while Pearsall is practicing and projecting for a big role with Aiyuk out and Jennings’ contract issue not resolved. 

Pearsall’s ADP has been on the move of late as well and he’s now down to 71.3 on Underdog and just a few spots above Jennings. 

If Jennings gets his contract and comes back in the next week or so, this likely stabilizes with Jennings dropping down again and Pearsall likely getting back into the mid-70s. However, for now, Pearsall is the one people are chasing and his ADP could easily drop more if the Jennings situation drags on or gets more murky. 

Stay tuned. 

SEA_seahawks-logo.svg Seattle Seahawks

Jaxon Smith-Njigba 🧐

Here is what I wrote on JSN back in July. 

Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s ADP is worth watching as the preseason progresses. Despite DK Metcalf leaving, he’s still going outside the second round with a 33.1 ADP, which is higher than it is on many redraft sites. 

"As of now, the market is betting JSN may struggle with a new QB in Sam Darnold and a new offensive coordinator. That sentiment may shift quickly if he balls out in preseason.”

Nothing has changed here. Despite the great situation, the market for JSN has remained lukewarm. 

Elijah Arroyo 🚀

Elijah Arroyo has quietly been getting great usage in camp. 

The rookie now has almost no competition at TE for targets after Seattle released Noah Fant, so if he does well in preseason expect his ADP (189 on Underdog) to drop substantially. 

TB_buccaneers-logo.svg Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers' WR situation is still worth watching. Here is what I wrote about it in July.

Emeka Egbuka 📈

“Seems to be establishing himself well in Tampa Bay, and looks like a lock for at least 3WR sets to begin the year. 

"Baker Mayfield has already asserted he seems likely to be a starter from Day 1. 

"Egbuka’s Underdog ADP 87.9 ADP is already 20-30 spots lower than his redraft ADP. If Chris Godwin were to have an injury setback, it feels like he could go much lower still.”

So far there has been no clear resolution of the Godwin injury situation and Egbuka continues to impress. Since the July update Egbuka’s ADP is down to 79.8 and feels like it could still move lower if more bad news breaks about Godwin. 

For now, we’ll have to settle for in-uniform medical takes

Chris Godwin 📉

Chris Godwin is now going just a few spots ahead of the rookie on Underdog, but, like I said in July, this situation could still change drastically as camp goes on. 

TEN_titans-logo.svgTennessee Titans

Tyjae Spears 🤔

Here is what I wrote about Spears in July. 

“Spears has been getting talked up by his coaches as the summer has progressed. However, what is interesting about Spears is that his ADP hasn’t moved much yet, if at all. That’s even with the fact that he had such a great end to last season. 

"At 124.9 on Underdog, he’s being priced as a cheaper handcuff and is going higher on Underdog than multiple redraft sites.”

Spears is still sitting around 122 on Underdog, so not much has changed. We’d likely need a Pollard injury at this point to see much movement in this spot. 

Cam Ward 👀

Ward has had a very solid start to camp. 

His ADP of 157 on Underdog feels like it could creep down soon, especially with the sort of rushing upside he brings to the table compared to some of the names going in font of him. 

A good preseason showing is likely needed, but his incredibly cheap valuation may not last the entire summer. 

WAS_commanders-logo.svgWashington Commanders

Terry McLaurin 😤

He demanded a trade last week. Most expect his request to be denied and that he’ll ultimately get a new contract, but McLaurin’s ADP has understandably been rising with the uncertainty. 

He’s now going at 37.5 on Underdog and with all the great receivers in that range, he’ll likely continue sliding until the situation gets resolved. 

Deebo Samuel 💪

Here is what I wrote about Deebo in July. 

“You can add WR Deebo Samuel to the list of “best shape of their life” candidates for this preseason. 

"Samuel is a player that Underdog players have been betting on. His 70.2 ADP is 20-30 spots lower than his redraft ADP on many sites.”

Samuel’s ADP has been falling a bit (69.7), as he would be the de facto WR1 if McLaurin gets traded or is available in Week 1. However, names like Noah Brown and Luke McCaffrey would likely be the big movers were Wahsington to shock the world and trade Scary Terry.
