When preparing for your fantasy football drafts, knowing which players to target and which to avoid is important. The amount of information available can be overwhelming, so a great way to condense the data and determine players to draft and others to leave for your leaguemates is to use our expert consensus fantasy football rankings compared to fantasy football average draft position (ADP). In this way, you can identify players the experts are willing to reach for at ADP and others they are not drafting until much later than average. Beyond this, it’s important to keep tabs on preseason rankings risers and fallers. We’ll help you there with this recurring article, where we’ll explore players rising or falling in the rankings as we approach NFL Week 1.

Risers
Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR): RB42, up 8 spots to No. 127
The clearest real-momentum story of the week. Brooks is the rare riser this early with a concrete reason behind him: the post-hype, third-year back is reportedly close to 100% after another ACL recovery, and the offseason reports out of Carolina have been consistently positive. Just as important is the opportunity picture. The Panthers added no meaningful backfield competition this offseason, and Rico Dowdle left in free agency for Pittsburgh, leaving Brooks with a clean path to early-down and passing-down work behind Chuba Hubbard, potentially even pushing Hubbard to lead the backfield. His ECR-vs-ADP gap is also narrowing (from +19 to +16), a sign the market is starting to price in what the rankers already see. He’s still a bet on health, but the arrow is pointing up.
Devonta Smith (WR – PHI): WR14, up 3 spots to No. 29 and into Tier 4
A small raw move that carries extra weight because it crossed a tier line. Smith climbed out of Tier 5 and into the back end of the Tier 4 WR1 cluster, where the consensus is hardening around him as a stable, every-week starter rather than a fringe option.
Quick hits
Rookie Jonah Coleman (RB53, up 7 to No. 154) continues a slow offseason climb. Rico Dowdle (RB30, up 3 to No. 79) ticks up as the market digests his new home in Pittsburgh. And a cluster of veteran QBs — Aaron Rodgers, Geno Smith, Caleb Williams — each nudged up a few spots without any single catalyst, more reflection of the QB pool settling than true movement.
Fallers
The faller side is even gentler this week. No draftable-range player lost more than six spots, so read these as soft cooling rather than alarm bells.
Oronde Gadsden II (TE – LAC): TE17, down 6 spots to No. 143
The week’s biggest slide inside the draftable range, slipping within the muddy middle-tier tight end group where small movement is common this time of year. Despite overall excitement for the Chargers’ offense this year, there are concerns about competition at the TE position in LA given the additions the team made this offseason.
Jaxson Dart (QB – NYG): QB10, down 4 to No. 80
The second-year player’s early-summer shine dimmed slightly.
Jake Ferguson (TE12, down 4 to No. 113) & Bryce Young (QB25, down 4 to No. 160) round out the modest fallers, both drifting a handful of spots without a clear trigger.
Tier Watch
Here’s where it pays to look past raw rank deltas. Several names will look like they jumped or fell a tier this week, but the players didn’t move. The tier boundaries did. The consensus quietly consolidated a few clusters, and reading those redraws correctly matters more than chasing a +1 or -1:
The Tier 4 WR group widened – The Tier 5 line slid from No. 31 down to No. 33, which pulled both Tee Higgins (who didn’t actually move, he held at No. 31) and Devonta Smith into Tier 4.
- The takeaway: rankers are getting more comfortable lumping a slightly bigger group into that back-end WR1 conversation.
