Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers Ahead of NFL Preseason Week 1

As NFL preseason games begin, fantasy football drafts are intensifying, prompting updates in player rankings. Notably, Stefon Diggs has risen 40 spots to No. 136 after signing a one-year deal with Washington, where he will serve as the No. 2 receiver alongside Terry McLaurin.

Other players seeing upward movement include Deebo Samuel Sr., who climbed to No. 153, and De’Zhaun Stribling, now at No. 155, following an injury to Ricky Pearsall. Jonathon Brooks also moved up 11 spots to No. 101, while Zach Charbonnet and Bucky Irving made gains in the running back rankings.

Conversely, several tight ends experienced declines, with Harold Fannin Jr. dropping to No. 87 and Mark Andrews falling to No. 128. This trend reflects a broader recalibration of the tight end position as roles become clearer during training camp. Additionally, Mike Evans slipped to No. 59 due to injury concerns.
