Breaking Fantasy Football News + LATE ADP Risers & Fallers

0:00Late ADP risers and followers and breaking fantasy football news you need to know Theogrammager lead fantasy analyst right here at rotawire just did a another rankings update if you're drafting over the next couple days My rankings are locked in over at rotawire.com. It's the same rankings I'm going to be using in New York City at the NFFC drafts draft in three teams over there It's going to be a really really fun experience It always is and extremely tilting this time of year especially because we're getting all of this late breaking news That's it really influencing how people are drafting especially in these high-stakes drafts in FFPC and NFFC We'll start off right at the top. It's Ashton Gentie Ashton Gentie sort of settled in with this new normal type of ADP 19th overall in the last few days in NFFC prime times those are $1,800 entry leagues big-time entry fees and drafters are sort of cautiously

1:01Opportunistic here with whether they're taking Gentie They're not taking him at like the one to turn anymore But they're still taking him inside of round two We're seeing very similar draft capital when it comes to FFPC main events But then there's a whole another segment of drafters who are enthusiastically drafting rookie running back Mike Washington We had Ian Rappaport come out and say that Mike Washington is going to be a thing this year We've had multiple reports about how the coaching staff really likes him and he looked awesome in Preseason games the average 7.9 spnyards per carry against actual NFL players a lot of backups in there But he still was dominant against those backups and the Clint Kubiak scheme is a very friendly one for for managers So for fantasy managers when we've seen Mike Washington Recently you see one off situations where he goes in the eighth round But his usual price tag is the ninth round and this is the same thing for

2:04NFFC prime times and an FFPC main events you're seeing them sort of living in the late ninth round So you've got drafters who are always sort of chasing these high-end handcuffed running backs Especially ones where the starter is a little bit banged up and then with Mike Washington You get the added value that it would be surprising if if we saw Ash and genty in week one against Miami Just my gut feel is we will not see genty in week one against Miami And that's an unbelievably good starting spot for Washington Vegas is more than a feel goal favorite there. They're like three and a half point favorites in a lot of sports books That's the sort of Situation that the rookie get off to a red hot start. The you should should be very strong for Washington and game one Even without genty and if genty does play Washington should still have a weekly role in week one. So it's as bad as good as starting spot as you could ask for I mean how many games is Vegas gonna be favored in?

3:05The Miami one is definitely a great starting spot for him We'll keep an eye on these two if you're drafting the next couple days I think that's sort of the action is if you want to play it with genty You're gonna see some leagues where people are even more cautious and he falls to the beginning around three But if you really want genty and you think this is all nonsense You can get access to him if you're picking around 18. He should be right there for you Sometimes a little bit later And if you want Mike Washington and you have a late eighth round pick You probably want to use that one on him. I wouldn't risk on the ninth round turn there But probably you're gonna get him in the ninth round if you're just playing it by the averages Continuing the conversation Javante Williams There's been late enthusiasm for Javante Williams You had jade and blue and Phil Motha both waved and we know what Malik Davis is so Javante Williams is really settled in You're seeing him locked in to the mid third round in ffpc made events Not too far off of what we're seeing from Jeremiah love and from breeze hall

4:09So Javante is right around the two running backs breeze hall and Jeremiah love that we're going ahead of him Through pretty much throughout the summer and you're seeing him at the three four turn In NFFC drafts and we were seeing him go much later in NFFC drafts even like a month and a half ago So I think drafters are just sort of come to terms that Javante Williams usage is going to be excellent and people are chasing this Dallas offense where we have question marks about a lot of offenses But we certainly don't about the Dallas Cowboys offensive line is solid Dak Prescott is Dak Prescott both wide receivers are healthy Jake Ferguson's there They have a very good wide receiver three and Ryan Florenoi And it seems like an offense that could lead the NFL in scoring If they do Javante Williams is going to benefit from the offensive environment And that offensive ecosystem is enough to really boost him We also know he's got pass catching ability So keep an eye on Javante Williams on the flip side Malik Davis is going inside of round 14 round 15 That's a player that's completely locked in right now

5:12Fantasy football season is right around the corner and draft Kings is bringing you their biggest bestball contest ever We're talking a massive 20 million dollars in total prizes Making this the largest bestball tournament in draft Kings history And this year not just one but three players are going to walk away as millionaires And right now our partners at draft Kings are giving all customers a can't miss offer draft one get one Enter a lineup in the 20 million dollar bestball contest for just 25 dollars and you'll receive a bonus bestball ticket to play again Free for a share of 20 million giving you a second shot to be crowned a millionaire It's simple just draft your team once no weekly management Let your top scores automatically start each week every breakout star every clutch play and every touchdown counts Towards your shot in a share of 20 million dollars Download the rafking's daily fantasy app and enter a lineup for the 20 million dollar bestball contest

7:14predict where he's going to go in drafts if you're chasing Josh's Jacobs Usually it's around the ninth round that he's going to go sometimes a little bit later I've seen him fall later than that But we're sort of seeing him settle in after the dust is settled after the whole commissioners exemplest That he's going somewhere in that late ninth now. We had Brian Guterkunst come out and say that they expect Josh Jacobs to play this year But Marshawn Lloyd who I'm very into at cost he's moved way way up at 80p So for Marshawn Lloyd, you're looking at 66 overall in recent 1800 dollar entry and NFFC primetime drafts And a very similar price tag for him in ffpc main events That sort of price tag puts him ahead of Jonathan Brooks puts him ahead of jalen war and he's sort of brushing up on some of those dead zone backs That we've been drafting for weeks and weeks and weeks So Marshawn Lloyd should get off to a hot start You still have if you're completely fading Lloyd and you're trying to play like the chaos out of here

8:18Caleb Johnson went from like being undrafted to very much being drafted every single draft and we're seeing Draftors start to draft Caleb Johnson Really when you get to like the 14th 15th round he's in consideration Usually available to you in the 17th or 18th round So you're seeing some draftors sort of playing that you know, you know, uh, Caleb Johnson getting a second lease on life Very rare to see Chris Brooks go higher than like the 18th round Chris Brooks is a little bit less enthusiasm He's been there with the coaching staff though and they seem to like him So the way I'd be playing it is Draft Marshawn Lloyd and then if Josh Jacobs is there in like the 11th round if you want to lock down that backfield Sixth round and 11th round doesn't seem like a huge price tag to pay for for a mat LaFlaur backfield now certainly things could get messed up for my plan If we see Caleb Johnson or Chris Brooks get it an outsized role But I think the bet is Marshawn Lloyd the vibes were excellent with Lloyd for several weeks in a row

9:22And now he gets this massive opportunity the team took him in the third round a few years ago 2024 draft so he has familiarity with the coaching staff and the pedigree and now a potential huge opportunity Another player is Luther Burton Luther Burton is a rocket ship right now going 34th overall in NFFC prime times That's the end of the third round for Luther Burton really locked in there People are buying into this year to breakout and after missing a little bit time in uh training camp Burton is back and fully healthy and looks ready to go for the season At the time I'm recording this Roma Dunezay left practice with some sort of a foot injury This could be absolutely nothing or this could be something and it should be noted that the foot injury He had last year was on a different foot than the one he got sort of banged up with it practice So if we see anything significant with Roma Dunezay and pay attention to rodowire.com There'll be constant updates for these injuries

10:22If anything is sort of hanging on with with Roma Dunezay Then look for Luther Burton to move up even more But right now completely locked in 34th overall and in FFPC drafts We've seen him leapfrogging a mecca buka leapfrogging dj more I always was pretty much going ahead of dj more But abuka is is a very significant one Abuka is still sort of working off to the side not practicing with the team And we are less than a week away from the start of NFL football a little bit longer for abuka since he plays on Sunday But notably Luther Burton in FFPC drafts is going ahead of t higgins I think that's a notable notable news for a adp wise Also talking about Chicago another recent news Deandre Swift left practice with an apparent injury today and appeared to be in discomfort According to a multiple beat reporters there We have no idea what's going on with the deandre Swift situation I'm not trying to speculate on the injury

11:24But we will say that it's a huge huge one to monitor Considering that he's moved up to 46 overall in recent prime time drafts And he's been a lock 4th rounder in FFPC main events And you've got Kyle Menongai who's running off to the side on Wednesday's practice But he's not in pads not practicing But if Kyle Menongai comes back and Swift is banged up That could be a huge value for drafters who are paying a 10th, 11th And sometimes 12th round price tag for Menongai His usual adp is round 10 Even with him being a little bit banged up I would imagine in the next day or so until we have clarity on deandre Swift Look for Menongai to move up a few spots as people sort of try to try to get something out of this situation Another running back who's moving up significantly And it's been like a freight train We covered the NFFC $100,000 entry legacy league And in the legacy league, Ramondra Stevenson went in the 501

12:27So he was extremely high up there for that draft And it sort of continued He's up to 60th overall in NFFC prime times And he's 63rd overall in recent main events And he's also making occasional 5th round appearances If we get any sort of late bad news when it comes to Travion Henderson And Henderson is missing some time right now in training camp Still not in pads, still not training with the team If we get any sort of late news looking like Travion Henderson might miss the start of the season Expect for Ramondra Stevenson's ADP to move up even more Stevenson I think has been nothing but positive vibes throughout the month of August A lot of talk from the beat reporters regarding his game Is role in the passing game And how that connection with him and Drake May has been there in training camp We all know how elite the usage was with Stevenson And if you're drafting now and you're looking to fade the Stevenson rise And benefit from Henderson I think you're going to see more and more Travion Henderson 7th round exposure

13:28I was in a 350FFPC big gorilla today That I split with Scott Barrett and Rich Rebar And we saw Travion Henderson go in the middle of the 6th for that one But I think it's some of these higher entry fee drafts Expect for him to fall into round 7 So whether you see that as a value or still a player you'd fade I'd probably lean into taking the 7th round I mean big surprise everybody knows I'm a sucker for Travion Henderson But I've also been mixing in some Ramondra Stevenson I think Stevenson gets you off to a red hot start And if you're in sort of a hero or a b build Getting Stevenson as you're running back to puts you in a pretty good position for the first month of the season Maybe the first six weeks of the season As we expect Stevenson to continue to have very strong usage Continue and look at it some players rising and falling A very interesting ADP convergence where Dejan Stribbling keeps moving up and up and up in multiple formats In the NFFC prime time and the FFPC made events The NFL season is right around the corner And it's time for survivor contests

14:31Roto wire is partnering with splash sports for two survivor contests There's the $100,000 NFL survivor That's a $15 entry Pick one NFL team to win straight up each week No spread, no repeats Then you've got a very cool one The $50,000 touchdown survivor This one's player based Pick someone to score a touchdown Passing touchdowns don't count It's got to be rushing, receiving, or returns only That's a $25 entry gets you $50,000 Ian Harted and I are both competing in this one So you can play against me, you can play against Ian Can you outlast us in this contest? We're going to use the code Roto wire And you are going to get a 50% deposit match That's a 50% deposit match using the code Roto wire Go to splash sports.com slash Roto wire And I'll see you in the contest We are seeing a convergence between Mike Evans A lock hall of famer And Dejan Stribbling the early second round

15:33Right now these two players are close enough In the wide receiver ADP That it's worth noting Evans goes around wide receiver 30 right now And Stribbling goes around wide receiver 36 So Stribbling is appearing as a low end Wide receiver 3 in a lot of recent drafts And it's a very interesting situation Because we're going to get to see San Francisco In Australia against the Rams early on Very tilting for managers with Evans and Stribbling Certainly you're paying a huge price tag for the rookie Evans you've been banged up a little bit Maybe a little less steam for him than there was earlier in the summer But those two guys are way closer than we ever would have thought a few weeks ago One other big noteworthy event when it comes to the 49ers Is George Kiddell got on the plane And traveled with the team to Australia Kiddell has moved into the sixth round in FFPC made events Living in there like locked into the sixth round

16:35Never goes in the seventh If you want George Kiddell be prepared to use an early sixth round pick If you're drafting the next couple of days And Kiddell has said that he is not going to travel with the team Unless he's playing in the game So this is a noteworthy one that he actually traveled with the team I would expect him to play in their opening game against the Rams And the last time we saw George Kiddell against the LA Rams He had nine catches 80 plus yards and a touchdown Just was awesome against them had nine targets in that game Caught all nine of them so keep an eye on George Kiddell Continuing looking at some players rising up boards Jamison Williams you have the Dan Graziano report Talking about how he's going to have an expanded route tree You've had other beat reporters sort of speculating Some of them out of nowhere that he could lead the Lions in targets this year I would doubt that with Almond Rossane Brown there I mean I would seriously doubt that But I do think Jamison Williams his targets could go up by 20 or so

17:36And he can end up being a massive value I've been well ahead of of ADP with Jamison Williams in my own rankings Really throughout the last couple of two months of the summer here I have Jamison Williams at 43 overall in my PPR rankings Over at rotawire.com And when you look at the way drafters are treating him He's starting to move to the early fifth round More and more often in FFPC main events And much earlier than that in NFFC Prime times where it's start three wide receiver format When we talk about Jamison Williams You're looking at him with resistance points against players like Christian Watson And he's going a little bit ahead of Parker Washington Multiple buzz guys there with Watson gaining a little bit of momentum with the Jacob's news Parker Washington sort of being this ADP rocket ship And now Jamison Williams getting a little bit of late buzz But Jamison has been really on nothing but positive vibes throughout training camp Multiple beat reporters talking about him

18:37And it feels like this could be a career year incoming Speaking of career years Michael Wilson last year had his big breakout And we saw Michael Wilson get rewarded with a huge contract extension today From the Arizona Cardinals they give him a three year deal Wilson's only 26 years old They just made him one of the highest paid wide receivers in football Especially when we consider number two wide receivers If we're considering him the wide receiver two in Arizona And we're considering Marv the wide receiver one And that's how drafters are treating it right now Then Wilson is one of the highest paid wide receiver twos in football Three years 75 million dollars from Michael Wilson He does not go into the offseason and get a chance to parlay anything into a free agent contract On the contrary the Cardinals locked him down And we heard Monti Austin Fort sort of speculate last year that they And this throughout the summer that they wanted to expense then Wilson and they did

19:39Do you love survivor pools? Well how about stepping your game up and entering the survivor pool With circus sports Circa million eight and circus survivor are going big for the 2026 football season With 30 million in guaranteed prizes Cash in this football season in Las Vegas With three circus sports contest entry starting at a thousand dollars with no rake You've got circa million which is 18 weeks of point spread action At 128 ways to win the winner takes home one million dollars You've got circa survivor picking one winner each week Last one standing wins 20 million guaranteed to the winners Then you've got circa grandissimo a massive contest with a hundred thousand dollar entry You enter in Nevada and you play from anywhere 30 million guaranteed visit circus sports.com slash contest for details I would expect that this sort of positivity with the contract is going to influence the ADP a little bit

20:41It's showing that the team loves them. It's showing that the team has big things in mind for him He's going in the eighth round of main events I'd expect for that to move into the seventh round He's also going at around 70 overall in an NFFC prime times I'd imagine sort of that sort of stays locked in maybe trends up slightly But what's interesting is you're seeing late sixth round Marvin Harrison Jr So drafters are still betting on Marvin Harrison Jr But what's extremely interesting is when it comes to the Arizona Cardinals It's a team with a pretty low win total It's a team where we have quarterback question marks We're paying the iron price for Tramik bride like always he's earned it Jeremiah love goes in the third round And then you have two wide receivers being priced in What I would expect you in the seventh round and the sixth round So you're looking at four skill position players All going within the first seven rounds of drafts With a big disconnect between the Vegas total for wins And maybe the quarterback clarity for the year

21:44But we cannot deny that Wilson was incredibly productive last year McBride is McBride and then love unbelievable pedigree So if we get solid quarterback play I think three of these guys could pay off at cost Certainly and there's an outside chance that all four pay off If it's extremely consolidated It really comes down to Wilson versus Marvin Harrison Jr That's the telling one because McBride sort of his own thing Love keeps getting pushed down And then we've also got Tyler Alger who started to move up in drafts With people sort of speculating that love could be At a not overwhelming workload even if he plays in week one Dealing with some ankle injuries still We've got James Conner on the RIR right now Really looking at it that's pretty much it We're staying locked in I know some of you guys are drafting this weekend You can go check out my rankings at rotawire.com I'm drafting this weekend I'm drafting on Friday in New York City The NFFC drafts is show might air on Friday morning
