Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - FFPC Draft Values and ADP Reports

Scott spotlights fantasy football risers, fallers and FFPC draft sleepers from the latest FFPC ADP reports. Read about his 2024 FFPC draft targets and fades.

As the 2024 NFL regular season draws closer, we are moving into the prime weeks of fantasy football drafting on the summer calendar. Now is the best time to check in on Average Draft Position reports that monitor the strategies and approaches of high-stakes fantasy football drafters.

The Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) platform is a prime destination for highly competitive fantasy players. In this feature, we zoom in on Risers and Fallers based on current FFPC Average Draft Position (ADP) reports from the FFPC’s FantasyPros Championship drafts.

As you will see throughout the Risers section, fantasy leaguers like to hook on with young players, especially rookies, as we get into the busiest days of drafting season. You should exercise a bit of caution with some less established players, though, as they must still prove themselves at the NFL level.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

Fantasy Football Risers

Drake London (Overall FFPC ADP of 19.8): His ADP has been progressively moving up throughout the preseason and you will see London picked higher than the draft slot indicated here in some leagues. Once the surefire No. 1 WR types are off the board, the Atlanta WR is viewed as a very tempting breakthrough candidate.

Cooper Kupp (23.4): The Rams WR is moving into the end of the second-round/early third-round range due to preseason reports that indicate a revived outlook. Kupp has built up a lot of fantasy goodwill from seasons past, and many drafters appear willing to give him another opportunity to regain better form.

In the X post/tweet below, you also get a bonus analysis on Isiah Pacheco, who is seeing his fantasy stock climb, and the improved draft positioning will be reflected in the ADP reports soon.

Dalton Kincaid (25.3): The second-year Bill is being drafted before Mark Andrews in FFPC leagues, which feature a TE-premium format. The uninspiring preseason of Keon Coleman and a Curtis Samuel injury are contributing factors to Kincaid moving up draft boards.

Malik Nabers (32.0): Despite the continued negative narratives surrounding Daniel Jones, savvy fantasy drafters know that the Giants QB will still be able to get the ball to his new alpha WR.

Jones will turn the ball over and aggravate New York fans, but he will still complete a healthy amount of passes to Nabers regularly. He is a special player who will get open often and consistently challenge defenders.

Rashee Rice (47.5): Published reports appear to suggest that Rice may not be suspended this season. He has been getting peppered with targets in the preseason, boosting his fantasy appeal as the 2024 season approaches.

Terry McLaurin (60.3): The arrival of Jayden Daniels in Washington can reinvigorate the fantasy output of the Commanders’ No. 1 WR. I don’t agree with drafting him ahead of George Pickens, but I am in on a McLaurin resurgence otherwise.

Brock Bowers (67.2): The Raiders rookie certainly has the potential to be an immediate impact performer. As we saw with Sam LaPorta in 2023, first-year TEs no longer necessarily take a few seasons to make their mark. Bowers is a good route runner with speed and a fine target if you miss out on the top TEs or Kyle Pitts/Evan Engram in the top 7-8 range at the position.

Rome Odunze (85.4): Another rookie on the risers list, Odunze is a good example of how fantasy drafters love a promising upside target. But he may be the 2024 fantasy football version of Jaxon Smith-Njigba as a new pro WR who is expected to overtake a veteran viewed as past his prime. JSN was not quite ready to zip past Tyler Lockett on the Seattle depth chart last year, though, and Odunze might appear to be stuck behind Keenan Allen at times in 2024.

Jameson Williams (103.6): He has not been necessarily rocketing up draft boards, yet I have noticed that Williams is making moderate upward strides in where he is being drafted. The Lions’ potential big-play artist is one of my preferred WR4 targets for a breakout season. The No. 2 WR job in Detroit is there for the taking, and Williams heads into the 2024 campaign with a full preseason behind him.

Ray Davis (137.3): We have not yet seen Davis start to climb in the ADPs but expect to see his increasing appeal reflected in the draft reports soon. He has already provided glimpses of promise in the preseason and can certainly operate as an inside runner and goal-line option who will be a complementary rushing partner for James Cook.

 

Fantasy Football Fallers

Justin Jefferson (7.3): The J.J. McCarthy injury has booted Jefferson out of the top-5 overall range in drafts. His supporters will reinforce how well he played in some games without Kirk Cousins, and the detractors will point out that his best performances with backup passers came in matchups against the Detroit pass defense (the best players shine as expected in exploitable matchups).

Ultimately, I don’t think Sam Darnold will remind anyone of Zach Wilson, and the new Vikings QB will be able to help Jefferson sustain his value as a top fantasy WR.

Chris Olave (24.7): Olave has fallen behind Davante Adams in the ADP race at WR, and that means drafters aren’t excited about taking him as their WR2. He doesn’t appear to have a high ceiling, but the Saints’ top pass-catcher will still see a very healthy number of targets and does not work with a consistent complementary pass-catcher.

Olave won’t inspire you to go out and sing karaoke while wearing his jersey after he lands on the roster at the end of the second round, but the third-year man should be viewed as a quality fantasy WR2.

Amari Cooper (54.9): There hasn’t been any inspiring news out of the Cleveland camp this preseason, and Cooper has fallen behind Stefon Diggs, Zay Flowers, and Tee Higgins on the ADP ladder. Hey, if other drafters are going to let a guy who is coming off a career-best 1,250-yard season fall to me, I will gladly take Cooper as a possible fantasy WR3 in the fifth round.

Rhamondre Stevenson (71.1): I don’t see any apparent reason to feel enthused about drafting Stevenson. But he will certainly take on a large workload, and if Drake Maye exceeds expectations at some point this season, Stevenson might outperform his ADP. I would not want him as my RB2 in a Zero RB build, though, preferring the RB3 route if possible.

Tony Pollard (89.2): Just before I wrote this article, I engaged in an online debate about the former Cowboys RB. His fantasy supporters claimed he was not healthy last year and has regained better form this preseason. I was not moved by his exhibition game highlights and believe Pollard is nothing more than a timeshare RB who has less upside than Tyjae Spears. Click on the X post/tweet below for the extended discussion on Pollard.

Dak Prescott (104.8): The ADP seems to be too low for Prescott, and I will gladly draft him in the current range. He led the NFL in completions and TD passes last year, and the Dallas passing game looks much the same, as does the offense. Many fantasy players want to draft fun upside types. Proven performers who function as established quality starters have to be on the radar, too.

Jerry Jeudy (140.9): Here is another Browns WR who is not stirring any optimism. Jeudy’s fantasy stock has been dropping to the point where he is a late-round pick. Once play begins for real, though, he will have a chance to show that a change of scenery might work out well. Take the late flier on the ex-Bronco because you don’t have to invest much draft capital in him at all.

Jahan Dotson (153.2): Preseason reports are indicating that the Commanders are trying to confirm who will best fit into their No. 2 WR role. Dotson has not been mentioned, further damaging his fantasy outlook. But Washington may be just looking to see who its best outside guy will be, while Dotson reemerges out of the slot. Take the late chance on him in a rejuvenated offense behind Daniels.
