Fantasy Football ADP Risers And Fallers: MarShawn Lloyd, Jordyn Tyson And More

The dawn of the NFL season is upon us. We’re down to just two days before the first game of the year, with the Seahawks hosting the Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowl LX. The Rams and 49ers will follow up with the first-ever NFL game in Australia, while the rest of the league will debut on Sunday and Monday.

The good news is that there is still time for a few last-minute fantasy drafts. We’ve seen some significant shifts in the market over the past week, with a bunch of players rising and falling drastically due to roster moves and injuries. Let’s dive into some of the biggest movers on Underdog fantasy football ADP and how you should approach those players moving forward.

Risers in Fantasy Football ADP

MarShawn Lloyd | GB | RB (+37.8 spots)

MarShawn Lloyd saw a solid jump in ADP last week, but he gets the top spot on the leaderboard for this article. His price tag is up more than three full rounds over the past seven days, and he appears poised to start the year as the Packers’ top running back. Josh Jacobs is on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, and it is still unclear if or when he’ll make his return to the lineup.

It gives Lloyd the opportunity to put his talent on display for essentially the first time in his career. He was a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he’s been limited to just 6 carries across his first two seasons.

Whether or not Lloyd is up for the task is another question. He has been unable to stay healthy, which is why he has been such a non-factor over the past two seasons. He’s had a number of soft-tissue injuries, and while he’s healthy for the time being, who knows how long that will remain the case?

Ultimately, the time to draft Lloyd was earlier in the offseason. If you missed that window, pivoting to Kaleb Johnson could be the more prudent decision. He was acquired from the Steelers for a sixth-round pick, but he was a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He seems like the next man up in Green Bay, and with Lloyd’s injury history, it’s not hard to imagine a scenario where he gets a bunch of touches for a quality offense. Johnson’s price tag is also up over the past seven days (+17.8 spots), but that still puts him just barely inside the top 200 picks (198.2 ADP).

Malik Davis | DAL | RB (+27.1 spots)

One of the most shocking cuts this season involved the Cowboys. They talked up Jaydon Blue all offseason, suggesting that he would take on a much larger role in his second professional season. Instead, he failed to make the final 53-man roster.

That clears the way for Malik Davis to serve as the clear-cut No. 2 RB in Dallas. That’s more than enough to make him a draft-worthy player for 2026. Davis fared well in his opportunities last season, averaging 4.8 yards per attempt with 2 touchdowns. In his one game with more than 8 carries, he racked up 103 rushing yards in Week 17 vs. the Commanders. Davis probably won’t have much stand-alone value, but he could pay big dividends if Javonte Williams were to miss any time.

Emmett Johnson | KC | RB (+21.0 spots)

Emmett Johnson is another running back who has seemingly secured a backup job. The fifth-round rookie spent most of the preseason competing for that role with Emari Demercado and Brashard Smith, but Demercado was unable to make the final roster. Johnson finished the preseason with 26 carries, 123 yards and 1 touchdown, and he also displayed some chops as a pass catcher.

Like with Davis, Johnson is going to need an injury to be relevant this season. The Chiefs signed Kenneth Walker this offseason, and he’s going to be a bell cow back when healthy. But if Walker were to miss any time, Johnson would likely step in as a starting running back for an offense helmed by Patrick Mahomes. That’s a pretty appealing prospect, making him worth a stash in all formats.

Fallers in Fantasy Football ADP

Jaydon Blue | PHI | RB (-31.1 spots)

Jaydon Blue’s fall from grace in Dallas has been swift and steep. He was expected to compete for the starting job as a rookie, but he was a healthy scratch to begin the year. He did ultimately get more involved down the stretch, but he was unable to prove his worth to the front office and coaching staff throughout training camp. Just two years after drafting him, they ultimately decided he wasn’t even worth a roster spot.

Blue did sign on with the Eagles’ practice squad, but he is going to have to work his way up the depth chart. He’s currently behind both Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley in the pecking order, so he’s a long way away from seeing the field. He is completely out of the mix for redraft purposes, and he can probably be waived in dynasty formats as well. It sucks to give up on a player who you just drafted, but if the Cowboys were willing to do it, fantasy players should be as well.

Tank Dell | HOU | WR (-21.3 spots)

The Texans’ WR corps is in a rough place right now. Jayden Higgins is out for the year, while Jaylin Noel is going to miss a few weeks after aggravating a hamstring injury. Tank Dell is also going to miss at least the first month of the season after being placed on the IR.

Dell was one of the most electric receivers in football as a rookie, turning just 47 catches into 709 yards and 7 touchdowns. The Texans’ passing attack has not looked the same without him, with C.J. Stroud dipping from 8.7 adjusted yards per attempt as a rookie to just 6.7 and 7.2 over the past two years.

It’s still possible that Dell can make an impact when he is eventually activated, but it’s unclear what his role will look like. The team added to its depleted receiving corps by trading for Kayshon Boutte, and he could cement himself as the team’s No. 2 receiver in the interim. Dell’s ADP is all the way down to 212.3 on Underdog, so he’s barely hanging on to draftability.

Jordyn Tyson | NO | WR (-20.7 spots)

Jordyn Tyson was drafted eighth overall in 2026, but it’s going to be a while before he makes an impact for the Saints. He officially landed on IR, meaning he’ll be sidelined for at least the first four weeks. Tyson is currently dealing with a hamstring injury that has plagued him since his senior season in college, which doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence in his ability to stay healthy moving forward.

In his absence, the Saints’ passing attack could be highly condensed. Chris Olave should be one of the quietest target hogs at receiver, while Juwan Johnson looks like an excellent value at tight end. Devaughn Vele also has plenty of appeal late as the team’s No. 2 receiver. I’d rather focus on those three than deal with the potential headache of Tyson’s hamstring all season.
