20 risers & fallers (Week 8)

Plus, the top buy-low WR this week.

October 27, 2026

Yooo!

I finally captured the elusive perfect week. 6-0 across my leagues, capped off with a 58-point comeback on MNF thanks to Dak, CeeDee, and Javonte each putting up 20+.

Combine that with a Giants win and JJ McCarthy looking like a competent NFL QB, and I’m on cloud nine.

(I swear I didn’t plan to make that NINE reference. But now that I see it, I love it.)

But that’s all in the past now. On to Week 8.

Giddy up.

Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months

That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.

Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.

Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.

New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed.

Taste the Fresh Difference

Last week, you guys voted to bring back stock risers/fallers instead of most traded players, so that’s what we’re doing!

10 risers:

Omar Cooper Jr. (WR, NYJ): (311 mentions last 7 days): Caught all 5 targets for 115 yards and a TD, his 2nd straight 100-yard game with a TD, and ran a 75% route share in 2-WR sets to Adonai Mitchell’s 14%. Analysts say he has passed Mitchell and to add him at any price, though his targets (7 and 5) lag his production.
Jonah Coleman (RB, DEN): (258 mentions last 7 days): Ran 9 times for 54 yards in his first game after missing 4, and led DEN’s RBs with 30 snaps to RJ Harvey’s 16 and J.K. Dobbins’ 14. Analysts say he led the backs on early downs, third downs and short yardage, though Sean Payton likes to use multiple backs.
Mason Taylor (TE, NYJ): (97 mentions last 7 days): Caught 5 passes for 62 yards and 2 TDs and added a 2-point conversion, while Kenyon Sadiq had 1 catch for 6 yards. Analysts say he has overtaken Sadiq as NYJ’s No. 1 TE and is a fringe top-15 TE going forward.
Ollie Gordon (RB, MIA): (157 mentions last 7 days): Ran 25 times for 103 yards and a TD on 54 snaps (83%), to Jaylen Wright’s 8 snaps. Analysts call him MIA’s bell cow with the role locked in, though his ceiling depends on MIA staying competitive.
KC Concepcion (WR, CLE): (158 mentions last 7 days): Caught 8 of a team-high 10 targets for 129 yards and added 3 carries for 23 yards. Analysts say the targets were already there and this was the breakout game, though some doubt he becomes CLE’s No. 1 target.
Luther Burden (WR, CHI): (220 mentions last 7 days): Caught all 4 targets for 130 yards and a TD on 61% of snaps. Analysts call him one of the best after-the-catch WRs in the NFL and expect his role to grow with Cole Kmet out, but several flag his route participation of about 67%.
Zay Flowers (WR, BAL): (192 mentions last 7 days): Caught 8 of a team-high 11 targets for 137 yards and a TD. Analysts note he is in the slot more than ever and moving all over the field, and several say he is set up for a big 2nd half with Lamar Jackson close to returning.
Michael Penix Jr. (QB, ATL): (195 mentions last 7 days): Went 25 of 34 for 213 yards and 3 TDs, his 2nd straight game with 3 TDs and no INTs, and he hasn’t thrown an INT since Week 3. Analysts say he has found his groove, though he still needs multiple TD passes to pay off.
Makai Lemon (WR, PHI): (149 mentions last 7 days): Caught 7 of a team-high 8 targets for 67 yards and a TD on 91% of snaps, his first game over 10 PPR points. Analysts call him a priority add, though DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks were both out and their return could cut into his role.
Blake Corum (RB, LAR): (158 mentions last 7 days): Ran a season-high 17 times for a season-high 93 yards and a TD on a season-high 32 snaps, outcarrying Kyren Williams 17 to 16. Analysts see his workload rising and call him a weekly flex, though he still has to win the RB1 job outright.

10 fallers:

J.K. Dobbins (RB, DEN): (199 mentions last 7 days): Played a season-low 14 snaps (23%), 3rd among DEN’s RBs, and ran 6 times for 23 yards and a TD. He is at 3.4 yards per carry on 87 carries. Analysts say he lost the early-down role to Jonah Coleman and shouldn’t be DEN’s starter.
Patrick Mahomes (QB, KC): (304 mentions last 7 days): Went 19 of 33 for 165 yards, no TDs and an INT for 7.0 fantasy points. Analysts say he is no longer an automatic start, pointing to KC’s lack of an outside WR and struggling tackle play.
Garrett Wilson (WR, NYJ): (279 mentions last 7 days): Caught 2 of 3 targets for 26 yards and had zero 1st-half targets, after the staff said all week he’d be more involved. Analysts say his volume and ceiling trend down if Omar Cooper Jr. keeps producing, though some still call him a buy.
Kenyon Sadiq (TE, NYJ): (95 mentions last 7 days): Caught 1 pass for 6 yards on 22 snaps (37%), his 4th straight game with 2 or fewer catches. Analysts say Mason Taylor has overtaken him as NYJ’s No. 1 TE, though some remain bullish on him long term.
Juwan Johnson (TE, NO): (93 mentions last 7 days): Caught 1 of 3 targets for 7 yards on 56% of snaps, and has 5 catches for 23 yards over his last 3 games. Analysts say he has run routes on under 60% of dropbacks in back-to-back games as Noah Fant and Oscar Delp mix in.
Xavier Worthy (WR, KC): (153 mentions last 7 days): Caught 3 of 6 targets for 11 yards with Rashee Rice out, and all 3 of his targets that traveled 15+ air yards fell incomplete. Analysts say he can’t be KC’s lead WR and project him as a WR3 at best once Rice returns.
Cam Ward (QB, TEN): (132 mentions last 7 days): Went 20 of 31 for 181 yards, no TDs and an INT. Through 7 starts he is averaging 168.4 passing yards with 4 TDs and 5 INTs. Analysts say his mistakes outweigh his good plays, and some say to sell him in dynasty.
Tyler Allgeier (RB, ARI): (116 mentions last 7 days): Ran 8 times for 19 yards on 38 snaps to Zonovan Knight’s 43, his 6th straight game under 50 scrimmage yards. Analysts say Knight outplayed him again and he hasn’t taken over the backfield with the starter out.
Daniel Jones (QB, IND): (218 mentions last 7 days): Went 13 of 22 for 108 yards, no TDs and an INT. Analysts call it a full regression and say he has gotten worse each week, though coach Shane Steichen says he isn’t considering a QB change.
Kendre Miller (RB, NO): (98 mentions last 7 days): Ran 8 times for 6 yards despite handling half of NO’s RB carries, including every RB carry inside the 10. Analysts say he can be dropped in some leagues and could be a healthy scratch once all 4 NO backs are available.
