(Geoff Burke, USA TODAY Sports)
Now that we’ve had some time for summer drafts to produce patterns in a substantive manner, trends are developing in flows in stock.
Using data from MyFantasyLeague.com, based on 12-team, PPR, redraft-only leagues, we’ve broken out which players have moved the most either direction in the past week.
You’ll notice more drastic swings for risers than fallers, mostly because when players free fall, it tends to be due to missing significant time from suspension, injury, demotion, etc. Many times, these players entirely fall out of the draft results.

Notables: New England Patriots running back Jeremy Hill‘s preseason performance drove up his stock significantly, albeit still in the undraftable territory for the vast majority of league sizes. Cleveland Browns wideout Antonio Callaway is listed as a riser despite being allegedly busted for drug possession. The loss of Washington Redskins RB Derrius Guice for the season created a market for Samaje Perine and Rob Kelley, while also increasing Chris Thompson‘s value.

Notables: Deon Cain and Guice were removed. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is on the downward trend after throwing several picks in training camp and authoring an uneven performance in his 2018 preseason debut. It is somewhat strange to see Eric Decker on the list after joining the Pats. A strong showing by Detroit Lions rookie running back Kerryon Johnson devalued Theo Riddick and continued Ameer Abdullah‘s trek toward oblivion.
