Fantasy football draft season is heating up, but the rankings are constantly changing. Here’s a look at some players trending upward and downward before your draft.
Kyren Williams (RB – LAR) | ADP: RB10
The Los Angeles Rams’ running back secured a three-year contract extension worth $33 million, solidifying his position as the team’s workhorse. With a guaranteed $23 million, Williams is poised to continue producing top-six fantasy finishes, making him an attractive pick in drafts.
Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB) | ADP: WR51
The Buccaneers’ rookie receiver has impressed in training camp, surpassing veteran Jalen McMillan on the depth chart. With Chris Godwin’s injury recovery slow, Egbuka could become a top-45 fantasy receiver if he takes over for McMillan. His current ADP is far too low, making him a sleeper pick.
Davante Adams (WR – LAR) | ADP: WR15
The veteran wideout signed with the Rams but faces stiff competition from fellow receiver Puka Nacua. Matthew Stafford’s health issues and potential changes in quarterback depth could also impact Adams’ target share. While he’ll still be a solid fantasy contributor, his value may dip below top-15 expectations.
Justin Fields (QB – NYJ) | ADP: QB11
The Jets’ new quarterback is expected to start the season, but his passing abilities remain underwhelming. After a transition year in Pittsburgh, Fields has yet to show significant improvement, relying on his rushing skills for fantasy value. With a low ADP, he may be due for a regression.
