Underdog Fantasy Best Ball Risers and Fallers Since August 1
Quarterbacks
Justin Fields was the only quarterback drafted inside the top 100 to climb in Underdog Fantasy average draft position (ADP) to rise. He moved up one spot among his peers at quarterback and snuck into the back end of the fourth round after previously going at the top of the fifth round.
Jordan Love and Sam Howell moved upward the most by the number of picks, rising approximately eight selections. Howell's ascension might kick up another notch since he was recently named Washington's starting quarterback.
There isn't a timeline for when Kyler Murray will return for the Cardinals. Murray will miss at least four games if he opens the year on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Thus, gamers have soured on spending a top-150 pick on Arizona's injured quarterback.
Matthew Stafford's fall is seemingly a product of Cooper Kupp's hamstring injury. And Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud haven't lit the world on fire in the preseason. As a result, their dips are likely related to those performances.
