Dynasty Fantasy Football Stock Watch: De'Zhaun Stribling and Antonio Williams Are Risers
Sam Wallace examined four players who are either risers or fallers in his latest dynasty fantasy football stock watch.
As the calendar turns to June and offseason programs start to ramp up, I took a quick peak at KTC to gauge some of the biggest risers and fallers across the dynasty landscape. Here are the handful of names that stood out and how I'm approaching each situation.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Risers
De'Zhaun Stribling | WR | 49ers
Sometimes, we just have to trust a team when they make a draft pick that initially appears a bit unorthodox. That's what I'm doing with De'Zhaun Stribling and the 49ers. Certainly not thought of as a Round 1 prospect, Stribling went off the board with the 33rd overall pick. For some added context, Stribling comes in at WR6 in our WR Rookie Super Model. Of the top-10 wideouts in this class (per our Model), Stribling is the oldest and his Film Rating is the second worst.
His draft capital is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Stribling joins a somewhat-revamped wideout room that will likely feature a starting trio of Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall and Christian Kirk. Stribling will likely factor in as the No. 4 option at the receiver position. Toss in both George Kittle (knee) and Christian McCaffrey, both top-end pass catchers, and it could be tough for Stribling to make an impact this year.
Even so, that's what makes him appealing in dynasty formats. Every pass catcher I mentioned, outside of Pearsall, is on the back-half of their respective careers and/or have dealt with injuries over the years. In time, Stribling could work his way into a larger role for one of the better offensive minds in football.
Antonio Williams | WR | Commanders
The Commanders have been penciled in as a landing spot for some of the remaining free agent wideouts, and it's easy to see why. Outside of Terry McLaurin, there's not much to get excited about if you're Jayden Daniels.
That's what makes Antonio Williams so appealing as a dynasty prospect.
The Commanders drafted Williams in the third round, and he profiles as someone who could make an impact right away, especially in a depleted WR room in Washington. While he dealt with an array of injuries throughout his time at Clemson, a creative offensive coach should be able to unlock some of his best traits.
Alongside McLaurin, Williams will likely operate underneath as his stature (5-foot-11, 187 pounds) and YAC ability lend themselves to someone who can effectively produce from the slot. Dwain McFarland noted the same in his prospect profile:
Williams' closest Super Model comps:
In Washington, there is a good QB in Jayden Daniels and a clear path to the No. 2 role behind Terry McLaurin in a WR room without proven depth. Williams is a borderline WR4 with WR3 upside in fantasy football.
Dynasty managers should feel pretty good about drafting Williams and stashing him while he continues to develop.
Dynasty Fantasy Football Fallers
Samaje Perine | RB | Bengals
I can understand why a 30-year old RB is tumbling down the dynasty boards, but this is actually one of those moments where I will push back a bit.
If you are a Chase Brown manager, you should be very motivated to acquire Perine if you don't already have him on your roster. While the Bengals backfield certainly belongs to Brown, Perine offers significant value as a high-end handcuff option. In fact, our projections already have Perine earning some decent touches as a change-of-pace player.
In fact, you don't even have to roster Brown in a dynasty league to be in on Perine. Dwain McFarland posted this just a few weeks ago:
My most drafted final round pick in 37 drafts:
Cheapest handcuff on the board and played ~40% when healthy in 2025.
Dynasty leagues. Redraft leagues. It doesn't matter. Perine should be getting a bit more attention than he is right now. Use his depreciating value to your advantage this offseason.
Rashee Rice | WR | Chiefs
This is an easy one to understand on the surface, but it also requires a touch of nuance if dynasty managers are going to deftly navigate this situation.
As it stands, Rashee Rice is currently in the midst of a 30-day jail sentence. While I won't get into the legal/technical details, his dynasty value has understandably taken a hit. However, when he's on the field, there's no questioning how productive he can be for the Chiefs.
Andy Reid has talked about supporting Rice and working on getting him up to speed when he returns to the team and Patrick Mahomes (knee) has repeated his desire to be ready to go for Week 1. If nothing else, Rice appears to have the support in place to stay on track heading into his fourth season. With the potential of a significant contract extension on the horizon, there's plenty of reason for Rice to be locked in and productive in the weeks and months to come.
From a dynasty fantasy football perspective, there's a buy window that's been opened for Rice. Do with that information what you will.
