Fantasy Stocks: Falling Stocks

From the desk of The (fantasy) Football Street Journal, there are a number of players in this year’s Fantasy player pool with cloudy outlooks. Avoid these stocks.

Stock Falling

Jonathan Taylor, ADP 3.02 - On the team’s PUP for the first four games of the season, the Colts running back is trending down. Still going in the 3rd round in most drafts, unless Taylor falls deep into the mid-rounds, he is one to avoid. Too much risk with this investment.

Jameson Williams, ADP 11.01 - The Lions 2nd year receiver is suspended for the first six games and will be away from the team as he still rehabs. His outlook is very unsettling at this time. Expected to miss at the very least six and there’s no real indication of what kind of impact he’ll make when he returns. With his stock falling, even as a late round flier he carries some risk.

Kyler Murray, ADP 14.03 - The Cardinals quarterback is going to be sidelined to start the 2023 NFL season as the team has placed him on the PUP. He will miss the team’s first four games, but beyond that it is unclear. Currently there is so much speculation going around about how long Murray could be out, in fantasy football his stock is plummeting. At his current ADP that’s about the only place to consider him. He’s a wait and see proposition until he’s at least back on the practice field.

Darnell Mooney, ADP 11.07 - With the addition of wide receiver Chase Claypool last season and the arrival of former Panthers receiver DJ Moore, Mooney’s fantasy outlook is muddled at best. More of a run-first team, the Bears had the fewest pass attempts and completions of any offense in 2022. With Moore and Claypool in the huddle now, Mooney is going to have stiff competition for targets this season.With the talk of trade rumors floating around, his stock continues to slide.

Dawson Knox, ADP 13.11 - The Bills went out and drafted themselves another tight end with their 1st round pick in the recent NFL draft, and his name is Dalton (Kincaid). Since the start of camp there’s been a buzz and talk about the rookie tight end, who’s currently being drafted ahead of Knox. The Bills list Knox ahead of Kincaid on the depth chart, but as the start of the season gets closer, the sleeper talk around Kincaid grows and the appeal of Knox falls.

That's my take!

Fantasy Stocks: On the Rise

From the desk of The (fantasy) Football Street Journal, as we head into the 2023 NFL season, these are the fantasy stocks on the rise. Get your shares.

     

Stocks on the Rise

Garrett Wilson, ADP 2.04 - The Jets 2nd year receiver continues to build off of his 1st year success and with the addition of quarterback Aaron Rodgers it seems his fantasy ceiling continues to rise. Wilson is an exceptional talent and with a great quarterback under center this season, he has the makings of an Elite WR1. His stock is on a fast rise.

George Pickens, ADP 6.10 - I’ve seen enough highlight reel of Pickens as a Steeler to believe in his talent and ability. He’s been one of my fantasy targets throughout the draft season. During the preseason he and his quarterback have already connected on several nice plays. Pickens' star is on the rise along with his fantasy stock value.

Jahan Dotson, ADP 7.01 - The Commanders have themselves quite a talent in 2nd year receiver Dotson and this camp the kid’s been ballin out. There’s a lot of talk about Dotson’s fantasy outlook and potential. And he’s displayed some of that promise this preseason with a number of impressive grabs. If that’s any indicator, the sky's the limit for this kid. His stock just keeps climbing.

Darren Waller, ADP 5.12 - The Giants tight end has been all the rave in camp this preseason. With no true number one receiving option in the offense, the opportunity is there for Waller to take the lion’s share. He’s a great talent with the ability to be a Top-3 fantasy tight end. As the NFL season nears, Waller’s stock keeps on climbing.

James Cook, ADP 7.06 - The Bills 2nd year running back looks to take a big leap forward in 2023. With the departure of Devin Singletary, the door is open for Cooks to take on a larger role in the Bills offense. The team did add Damien Harris to the backfield, but there’s been chatter surrounding Cook taking on a bigger role. Last season Cook did a lot of good things down the stretch, splitting time in the backfield and contributing in the pass game. His stock continues to move on the way up.

That's my take!
