Using FantasyPros’ Real-Time ADP (average draft position) tool, we can monitor which fantasy football players are rising and falling in drafts. It’s helpful to monitor this to see how the market is reacting right now. We’re going to discuss three risers and three fallers, using the real-time ADP tool.

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers

Fantasy Football Risers

Rashid Shaheed (WR – SEA) | +4.4

Rashid Shaheed did so much for the Seahawks after he was acquired at the trade deadline, but we often see a wide receiver’s production adjust after an in-season move.

Now fully immersed in the organization, he provides late-round value as a deep threat with spike-week potential. There’s opportunity for targets next to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, making Shaheed an intriguing bench stash.

Kenneth Gainwell (RB – TB) | +3.6

Kenneth Gainwell is coming off a career year with the Steelers, where the Buccaneers awarded him a contract in free agency. He’s expected to be part of a committee with Bucky Irving.

Gainwell’s pass-catching ability makes him particularly appealing in full PPR leagues, where he can rack up receptions. Playing for a high-scoring and pass-heavy Tampa Bay offense, there’s some appeal here.

Jalen Coker (WR – CAR) | +3.4

Jalen Coker has shown his potential in spurts, but now he’s become a popular breakout target as the clear-cut No. 2 wide receiver next to Tetairoa McMillan.

My only issue is that Bryce Young is a game manager in a run-heavy offense. Coker feels more like a best ball pick than one you can rely on in managed leagues.

Fantasy Football Fallers

Seth McGowan (RB – IND) | -6.4

Seth McGowan is a rookie who has seemingly won the No. 2 RB job in Indianapolis behind Jonathan Taylor, giving him some appeal as a handcuff.

However, DJ Giddens is still there. Now healthy after briefly missing some time, there’s some risk that he can factor into the No. 2 RB role as well. McGowan is more of a deep-league play.

Pat Bryant (WR – DEN) | -6.2

Pat Bryant has had a great camp, but he’s the clear-cut No. 3 WR behind Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton. There are a lot of mouths to feed in Denver, making it difficult to rely on Bryant in shallower formats.

Bryant is better in deep leagues or in best ball, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep an eye on him. There’s a path to upside playing for an excellent Broncos team.

Ted Hurst III (WR – TB) | -6.2

Ted Hurst III is a rookie wideout who has received some buzz throughout the offseason, but the Buccaneers have a crowded wide receiver room that also includes Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan, which can help explain the fall in ADP.

As with Pat Bryant, Hurst is not worth rostering in shallower formats. Add him to your waiver wire watch list to see where this goes, although he probably needs an injury for more usage.
