With this information, we can get a better sense of changes in the collective perceptions of fantasy football owners (mock drafters); in essence, it's a version of fantasy stock up/down for players. If a player is moving up the ADP chart, it may lead us to using a higher pick than his current ADP to make sure we secure a targeted player.
Of course, a player's ADP (and movement) is just one (small) piece in determining who to draft and our strategy used to assemble a fantasy roster.
For purposes of our weekly comparison(s), we use ADP data from 12-team mock drafts from Fantasy Football Calculator:
| Biggest Risers (Absolute Terms) | ||
| Pos. | Player | ADP change |
|---|---|---|
| QB | Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers | -9.9 (93.0 on 8/27; 83.1 on 9/3) |
| RB | Kareem Hunt, Kansas City Chiefs | -45.1 (74.0 on 8/27; 28.9 on 9/3) |
| WR | Chris Hogan, New England Patriots | -36.1 (136.8 on 8/27; 100.7 on 9/3) |
| TE | Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles | -11.3 (101.4 on 8/27; 90.1 on 9/3) |
[Note: Negative numbers mean the player's ADP is improving (i.e., being drafted earlier) and vice versa.]

[Note: Spencer Ware and Joe Williams (both on IR) were removed from the table above even though they were bigger fallers than Prosise.]
