2023 Fantasy Football: Biggest ADP Risers and Fallers

There are many factors that can cause the movement behind fantasy football’s biggest ADP risers and fallers.

Injuries and recent signings are both factors. Some weeks we have suspensions and some weeks we have players and management having public disagreements over health. Some of these big swings in perceived value are overreactions but some are valid. Our goal is to help you reach the right decision as to what is causing these changes in ADP and help you take advantage of them. These are the biggest ADP movers in the last week.

ADP RISERS

Deuce Vaughn - This is one of the movers that I am not buying, yet. With no Elliott, the depth chart appears to be very fluid right now. Vaughn has had a nice preseason but he is still fighting for a spot with Ronald Jones, Rico Dowdle, and Malik Davis. Nothing to see here.

Ezekiel Elliott - He got a bump only because he finally signed with a team. He basically takes the place of Damien Harris. At this point in his career, he is nothing more than a really good handcuff to Rhamondre Stevenson.

Kenneth Gainwell - The buzz so far had been which new back, D'Andre Swift or Rashaad Penny, would be the lead. It looks like Gainwell has surprised us all and could just take that spot. Even if he does, the touches will still be split three ways. If Swift or Penny get hurt, which is a big possibility, Gainwell could be a sneaky late-round pick. It’s time to add him to your watch list.

Zamir White - This was a reaction to Josh Jacobs holding out. It looks like he will be reporting to camp now so White will move back down the ADP by my next risers and fallers list.

Raheem Mostert - For a while now the rumor was Dalvin Cook would be going to the Dolphins. Now that he signed with the Jets the Miami backfield is a little clearer. This ADP is a fair price but not if it rises anymore. He is still sharing touches with Jeff Wilson and the rookie Devon Achane.

ADP FALLERS

Deon Jackson - This will reverse by my next risers and fallers. This fall was with Jonathan Taylor coming back and Kenyan Drake signing with the Colts. Now with Taylor asking for a trade you should buy the dip. It’s possible you could get a running back at a bargain that jumps up to be an immediate RB2 on your team.

Leonard Fournette - My guess is at this point it could be a while before he signs with a team. Even if he does this is not someone you should draft.

Michael Mayer - The rookie has missed a few practices and seems to be falling behind Austin Hooper for the starting spot. It usually takes tight ends a while to settle in at the NFL level so he was probably just ranked too high to begin with.

Kendre Miller - The only reason for him dropping is a mild knee sprain suffered in the first preseason game. Now that he is running just fine, I expect him to be one of the biggest risers on the next list. Even when Alvin Kamara comes back from his suspension, I still expect him to see enough touches to be worthy of a roster spot. Buy the dip.

Jerome Ford - Ford was my number one RB handcuff this year. He is now listed as week to week with a bad hamstring. Since his recovery could be weeks it’s hard to justify a spot for him unless you have a very large bench.
