It’s never too early to start drafting. The action on best ball sites is in full swing as drafters look to land the lineup that can take home seven figures.

Drafting early is a bit of a double-edge sword. On one hand, you can land a player who will come off the board significantly earlier in August, giving those lineups a clear leg up. On the other hand, you could end up drafting a player whose ADP plummets throughout the summer.

Let’s take a look at the players who have risen and fallen most over the past seven days.

Fantasy Football ADP Risers

Greg Dulcich | MIA | TE (+10.8 spots)

Someone is going to have to catch the ball in Miami, and Greg Dulcich is shaping up to be one of their top options. He has reportedly been building solid chemistry with new quarterback Malik Willis, and the Miami Herald’s Omar Kelly listed Dulcich as one of the team’s most impressive performers during OTAs.

Dulcich didn’t see his first action with the Dolphins until Week 8 last season, but he was solid when he debuted. He mustered a 14% target share from Week 9 on, despite running a route on just 51% of the team’s passing plays. With a larger workload in 2026-27, Dulcich could provide significant value at his current price tag. He’s coming off the board just inside the top 200 on Underdog, good for TE29.

Dontayvion Wicks | PHI | WR (+8.2 spots)

This is primarily a reaction to the A.J. Brown saga finally coming to a conclusion. He was officially dealt to the Patriots early last week, which opens up a 30% target share from last season.

DeVonta Smith figures to step into that WR1 role in Philly, but he was already at a 25% target share last season. He’s not going to be able to assume all of Brown’s vacated targets, leaving plenty of opportunities up for grabs.

Makai Lemon was the Eagles’ first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and they traded up to get him. That gives him the inside track on the No. 2 job. However, it’s not a guarantee that he’s ready to be a full-time player right out of the gates. Wicks was a solid target-earner during his tenure with the Packers, and he could see a larger role with the Eagles even if he’s their No. 3 receiver. Jahan Dotson had a 71% route participation as the team’s No. 3 receiver last year, so the Eagles run plenty of three-receiver sets.

Even with his price tag rising, Dontayvion Wicks is still being drafted outside of the top 200 picks. He has nice upside as an injury handcuff with some potential standalone value.

  Adonai Mitchell | NYJ | WR (+8.0 spots)

Adonai Mitchell was a sneaky winner during the offseason. Even though the Jets used a first-round selection on Omar Cooper in the NFL Draft, he’s going to play primarily in the slot. That doesn’t leave a ton of competition for Mitchell as the team’s No. 2 option. The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt believes that the team wants to make Mitchell a “crucial piece of their offense” in 2026.

The Jets’ receivers should also see a significant upgrade in target quality compared to last season. While Geno Smith is clearly on the decline, he has to be better than Justin Fields and Brady Cook by default. Mitchell’s elite deep speed should lead to some spike weeks, which is perfect for a player going outside the top 200.

ADP Fallers for Fantasy Football

 Brandon Aiyuk | SF WR (-6.9 spots)

It’s easy to see a scenario where Brandon Aiyuk’s price tag continues to dip all offseason. He’s currently still a member of the 49ers, but the two sides have no real interest in working with each other at this point. He is trying to force his way out, seemingly to the Commanders, but the arrest warrant certainly isn’t going to help. He appears destined for a release, and who knows what happens after that?

Aiyuk was excellent for the 49ers three years ago, but that was before all the drama and a major knee injury. He may not even be able to pass a physical at this point, so there is an endless downside with Aiyuk at the moment. His ADP of 185.6 (WR73) is very cheap, but there’s no guarantee he even sees the field next season.

Chris Bell | MIA | WR (-6.1 spots)

Chris Bell remains a popular sleeper in dynasty leagues, and there’s a chance that he emerges as the Dolphins’ No. 1 receiver in the future. However, he’s coming off an ACL injury in his final collegiate season, and there’s a good chance that he starts the year on the PUP list. The Dolphins are playing for the future at this point, so there’s no need to rush him along.

Malik Nabers | NYG | WR (-5.6 spots)

Malik Nabers has been an absolute target hog ever since putting on a Giants’ helmet, but there are plenty of red flags with him at the moment. He’s still recovering from a knee injury sustained last season, and he has no real timeframe for a healthy return.

When he does eventually return to the lineup, he’ll be playing for an offense that figures to be run-first in 2026. Jaxson Dart was much more impressive with his legs than his arm as a rookie, so even if Nabers resumes a massive target share, it could be a big piece of a relatively small pie.

Nabers’ ADP currently checks in at 31 overall on Underdog, good for a WR14 price tag. That makes him a high-risk selection. Dwain McFarland currently has him ranked as WR22, while Peter Overzet described him as a “falling knife” in a recent newsletter.
