15 Fantasy Football ADP Risers & Fallers (2026)

15 Fantasy Football ADP Risers & Fallers (2026)

When preparing for your fantasy football draft, it’s important to have a sense of where players are getting drafted. This is known as their average draft position (or ADP). Unlike traditional ADP, our Real-Time ADP quickly detects changes in a player’s average draft position. Instead of showing you where players were drafted yesterday, Real-Time ADP shows you where they’re being drafted now. Let’s look at a few risers and fallers over the last week according to Real-Time ADP.

    Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers for Draft Weekend

    Let’s dive into a few notable ADP risers and fallers along with fantasy football outlook from our analysts.

    Fantasy Football Risers

    MarShawn Lloyd (RB – GB)

    The most important riser to understand this weekend, up more than 16 spots on the week and climbing fast in the last 24 hours. Two things are fueling it. First, Lloyd has looked explosive in camp and the preseason, finally showing the Packers what they drafted after an injury-wrecked start to his career. Second, and more urgently, starter Josh Jacobs faces a potential NFL suspension. He was formally charged this week following a May arrest, the league is reviewing the matter under its personal conduct policy, and Green Bay’s general manager has said the team is preparing for the possibility that Jacobs misses time. If that happens, Lloyd is the clear lead back in a good offense. He was already a strong handcuff and the suspension risk makes him a priority late-round target with standalone upside.

    Mike Washington Jr. (RB – LV)

    The weekend’s other must-roster handcuff, and the biggest riser on the board over the past week. When Ashton Jeanty went down with an ankle injury, Washington stepped into the first-team reps, and his preseason work (a 53-yard burst against Arizona, plus flashes in pass protection and the passing game) has the market treating him as the immediate answer if Jeanty misses any time. Between Lloyd and Washington, the two best handcuffs in fantasy football are both spiking for the same reason: the back in front of them is suddenly a question mark.

    Chris Olave (WR – NO)

    The direct beneficiary of Jordyn Tyson’s injury. With Tyson’s availability in serious doubt, Olave becomes the unquestioned focal point of the New Orleans passing game, and the market is responding. This is not a projection either: Olave was the WR7 in fantasy points per game last season with a career-high nine touchdowns, ranking top-ten among all receivers in target share and receiving yards per game. A rising floor on an already-strong profile.

    Keenan Allen (WR – IND)

    It is official that Allen is a Colt for 2026, and his ADP is climbing accordingly. Indianapolis was painfully thin at receiver behind Alec Pierce and Josh Downs, and Allen, the WR36 in points per game last year with plenty left in the tank, immediately helps. The flip side of that move is a faller (see below).

    George Kittle (TE – SF) is up about eight spots as the market buys the injury discount. Kittle is working back from an Achilles tear and has set a goal of playing in San Francisco’s Week 1 opener in Australia. There is real risk he misses time early or is less than his usual self on return, but at a discounted price the upside is drawing buyers. KC Concepcion (WR – CLE), Matthew Golden (WR – GB), and Jayden Reed (WR – GB) round out the risers, a mix of rising young players and a healthy Reed.

    Fantasy Football Fallers

    Jordyn Tyson (WR – NO)

    The steepest slide of the weekend, down more than 28 spots as his hamstring injury looks increasingly likely to cost him significant early-season time, possibly into October. Tyson profiles as a quality second option for New Orleans once healthy, but availability is the entire question, and draft-weekend managers are moving on. He is a fine last-round dart, not a target you can trust as a weekly starter.

    Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV)

    Down about eight spots and sliding within the first round as the market prices in his ankle sprain. The diagnosis was a relief, not season-ending or considered long-term, but there is a real chance he misses Week 1, and that uncertainty is enough to knock a first-round back down a few pegs. His talent is not in question. His Week 1 status is, and that is why Washington is rising opposite him.

    Josh Downs (WR – IND)

    The other side of the Keenan Allen signing. Downs is down about nine spots as Allen’s arrival crowds an Indianapolis receiver room where Downs was expected to see an elevated role. The target competition just got stiffer, and his ADP reflects it.

    The mid-round tight ends keep sliding. Oronde Gadsden II, Jake Ferguson, and even Travis Kelce all dropped again this week, extending a summer-long erosion of the muddy middle of the position. And Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB – NYG) continues to fall as the Najee Harris signing muddies the Giants backfield.
