📈 Risers & 📉 Fallers:

Last week’s vote is in, and the results are all over the place for Shedeur. He’s liable to go in literally any round of your rookie draft. But most votes came in at 2.07-2.12 (he currently sits at 2.12 in our consensus rookie ranks):

Now, let’s dive into some other risers and fallers from the past week:

📈 Risers:

• +32 📈 Bhayshul Tuten (160 ➡️ 128)

  • Crowded backfield? Pshh. Next question. He’s been a popular riser all offseason. Dynasty experts and Liam Coen think they found the next Bucky. He slots in as the 2.08 in our consensus rookie ranks.

• +31 📈 Jaydon Blue (188 ➡️ 157)

  • You’re my boy blue! Jaydon is entering a situation with two veterans (Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams) who struggled last season. The opportunity is there to carve out a meaningful role and it will only cost you about a 3.03 to find out.

• +23 📈 Mason Taylor (162 ➡️ 139)

  • Someone’s gotta catch passes for the NYJ other than Garrett Wilson next season. Why not Taylor? Justin Fields previously supported Cole Kmet with TE7 and TE8 seasons in CHI. Maybe Taylor can capture some of that upside in NY. He slots in at the 2.11 on our baord.

📉 Fallers:

• -30 📉 Kirk Cousins (197 ➡️ 227)

  • I have no idea what ATL is going to do with Big Kirko. The Steelers seem like an obvious fit, but maybe they’re waiting to see what Rodgers decides first? Other than that, it doesn’t seem like there are many open starting QB opportunities.

• -24 📉 J.K. Dobbins (159 ➡️ 183)

  • Dobbins received the “seldom-used unrestricted free agent tender” from the Chargers. If he doesn’t sign with another team before July 22, he’s likely headed back to LA (with a lot more competition than last year).

• -17 📉 Cade Otton (155 ➡️ 172)

  • With the addition of Emeka Egbuka, a crowded room of pass catchers gets even more crowded. “Dad, tell me about that time when Cade Otton put up elite TE1 numbers from Week 7-9 in the 2024 season.”

Check out the fully updated rankings below!

QB - Jalen Milroe

Mentioned in: Rookie Sleeper Picks, Quarterbacks

• Milroe brings impressive rushing credentials to Seattle, having compiled 1,257 rushing yards and 32 rushing TDs over his last two seasons at Alabama

• While currently behind Sam Darnold on the depth chart, Milroe's 4.4 40-yard dash speed and athleticism give him QB1 overall fantasy upside potential

• Received the William V. Campbell Trophy (Academic Heisman Award), suggesting strong preparation abilities

• Multiple analysts compare his situation to Jalen Hurts, suggesting he could take over sooner than expected if Darnold struggles

RB - Kaleb Johnson

Mentioned in: Planting Flags: Ridiculously Early Fantasy Predictions for 2025

• Selected by the Steelers in Round 3 of the 2025 draft from Iowa

• Described as a big back (6-foot-1, 224 pounds) with straight-line speed and smooth running style

• Expected to be an excellent fit in Arthur Smith's zone-running scheme

• Bold prediction: Johnson will be a top-15 fantasy running back in 2025

WR - Emeka Egbuka

Mentioned in: Emeka Egbuka, Tyler Shough, Quinshon Judkins - Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Draft Busts

• Emeka Egbuka faces a challenging start to his NFL career as he'll be behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in Tampa Bay's receiving pecking order

• Despite showing talent at Ohio State with 24 touchdowns over his final three seasons, Egbuka's path to NFL value depends heavily on productivity rather than big plays

• Being drafted at around 1.07 or 1.08 in dynasty leagues, Egbuka likely won't help teams competing for titles in 2025 due to his third receiver role

• Article suggests Egbuka might not see significant fantasy value until 2027, making him more suitable for rebuilding teams than competitive rosters

WR - Calvin Ridley

Mentioned in: 6 Players Trending Up & Down (2025 Fantasy Football)

• Ridley's value is trending up after the Titans selected quarterback Cam Ward with their top pick, providing a significant upgrade at the position

• Tennessee waited until the fourth round to select a pass catcher, suggesting Ridley will remain the primary target despite additions like Tyler Lockett

• Ridley finished 21st in targets (120) last year, with predictions suggesting he could finish inside the top 10 this upcoming season

TE - Trey McBride

Mentioned in: Dynasty Startup Mock Draft: 10-Team, Superflex (2025 Fantasy Football)

• Finished last season as TE3, averaging 12.1 half-PPR fantasy points per game

• Scored only two receiving touchdowns while maintaining production just 0.1 points behind Brock Bowers

• Article suggests McBride is a better draft value than Bowers for dynasty leagues
