Fantasy Football ADP Risers and Fallers: Week of August 22, 2026

Where fantasy football average draft position moved this week: the biggest 30-day risers and fallers across 7 ADP feeds, and the players the market prices differently than the expert consensus.

TL;DR Average draft position across 7 live feeds moved again this week, and the moves are the news: they tell you what the market has learned since your last mock.

  • Biggest riser: Cyrus Allen is up 87 spots to ADP 163.
  • Biggest faller: Jayden Higgins is down 55 spots to ADP 194.
  • Best discount: the market takes Cam Skattebo at 69 while the FanRanked consensus ranks him 42.
  • Why it matters: ADP is the price sheet for your draft. Knowing who is rising lets you take him one round before the room catches up, and knowing who is falling stops you from paying last month's price.

    This report is generated from the live fantasy football ADP board, which averages 7 feeds (MyFantasyLeague, Fantrax, Draft Sharks, CBS, FFC, NFFC, ESPN) and compares every price to the FanRanked redraft consensus. Movement below is the change in a player's cross-feed average draft position over roughly the last 30 days, inside the top 200 picks.

    Where the market disagrees with the experts

    A positive gap means the market lets you draft the player later than the FanRanked expert consensus ranks him. These are the discounts on the board right now.

    | Player | Pos | Team | ADP | FR Rank | Gap |

    | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

    | Cam Skattebo | RB | NYG | 69 | 42 | 27 |

    | Hunter Henry | TE | NE | 165 | 139 | 26 |

    | Juwan Johnson | TE | NO | 157 | 132 | 25 |

    | Chig Okonkwo | TE | WAS | 172 | 147 | 25 |

    | Tyler Allgeier | RB | ARI | 157 | 133 | 24 |

    | Tre Tucker | WR | LV | 170 | 146 | 24 |

    | Jerry Jeudy | WR | CLE | 171 | 150 | 21 |

    | Woody Marks | RB | HOU | 150 | 130 | 20 |

    And the reaches: the market takes these players well ahead of their consensus rank. A reach is not always wrong, but know that you are paying above consensus before you do it.

    | Player | Pos | Team | ADP | FR Rank | Gap |

    | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

    | De'Zhaun Stribling | WR | SF | 119 | 134 | -15 |

    | Jonathon Brooks | RB | CAR | 94 | 106 | -12 |

    | Matthew Stafford | QB | LAR | 89 | 99 | -10 |

    | KC Concepcion | WR | CLE | 114 | 123 | -9 |

    | Stefon Diggs | WR | WAS | 112 | 120 | -8 |

    Average draft position is the cross-feed average on the FanRanked ADP board at publish time, weighting every live feed equally. Thirty-day movement compares each feed's current rank to its rank about a month ago; feeds younger than 30 days use their oldest reading at least a week old. Consensus ranks are the FanRanked 2026 redraft expert consensus.
