(Mark J. Rebilas, 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: Mostly names one expects to see this week, with the lone surprise, if you can even call it that, being Ben Roethlisberger. The 36-year-old reportedly is in amazing shape and has as much zip as ever before. He was crisp in his only preseason performance this summer, but a 16-spot jump seems a little excessive. It likely was more due to market resets at running back and receiver. Speaking of running backs, Adrian Peterson went from a fleeting appearance to a midround pick after one preseason contest. Even at 33 years old, his allure remains strong. Tampa Bay’s Peyton Barber has screamed up draftboards in recent weeks and continued his massive ascent. Marqise Lee’s season-ending injury gave Keelan Cole a boost, and Donte Moncrief also reaped the benefits of Lee’s demise.
It’s not too late to sign up and get in The Huddle!

Notables: The obvious dips include Rob Kelley, Ronald Jones, Rashaad Penny and Hayden Hurst due to injuries for the latter two and a loss of playing time for the former pair. Indianapolis Colts rookie Nyheim Hines has not been able to translate the practice hype into game action and has started to dramatically tumble. The strong play of veteran RB Carlos Hyde has downgraded the stock of his rookie counterpart, Nick Chubb, making the Georgia product a bit of a value pick given Hyde’s injury history. People are finally starting to cool their jets on Dez Bryant landing somewhere worthwhile, at least before the season begins.
