Fantasy Football ADP Risers and Fallers: Week of August 21, 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: Ja'Kobi Lane is up 76 spots to ADP 173.
  • Biggest faller: Cam Skattebo is down 69 spots to ADP 120.
  • Best discount: the market takes Cam Skattebo at 120 while the FanRanked consensus ranks him 59.
  • 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, NFFC, FFC, CBS, ESPN) and compares every price to the FanRanked redraft consensus.

    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 | 120 | 59 | 61 |

    | Jayden Higgins | WR | HOU | 177 | 145 | 32 |

    | Tyler Allgeier | RB | ARI | 159 | 134 | 25 |

    | Hunter Henry | TE | NE | 164 | 139 | 25 |

    | Juwan Johnson | TE | NO | 156 | 132 | 24 |

    | Tre Tucker | WR | LV | 171 | 148 | 23 |

    | Woody Marks | RB | HOU | 151 | 130 | 21 |

    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.

    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.
