As the 2017 pre-season clock ticks down and fantasy football drafts kick it into high gear, I thought it would be a good time to start unveiling some of the more recent drafts trends we are witnessing in the Mock Draft Army.
For those not familiar with the Army, allow me to quickly share: In an effort to avoid all the auto-drafting and computer players we see in some of the big sites’ mocks, I run about 8-to-10 mock drafts of all different styles and formats each week where half the draft room is filled with industry people you know from here at Fantasy Alarm, SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio and a variety of other fantasy sports web sites around the internet and the other half, you the readers and listeners.
There are no auto-drafters and every person who takes part in these drafts is there from the first to the final round. The chat room during the draft becomes a fantastic Q & A session and is filled with a ton of fantasy information to help you with your upcoming drafts. If you would like to be a part of the Army and be on the mailing list for the weekly draft schedule, simply email Mockdraftarmy@yahoo.com.
Now, as far as the trend report goes, I’ll list some of the more significant risers and fallers over these last two weeks and then share the rest of the ADP Trend Report. Incidentally, you can always check out the Mock Draft Army ADP right here.
Risers
Darren McFadden, RB DAL (+9.6%) – No major surprise here as the news of the Ezekiel Elliott suspension shot DMC up many a draft board in recent weeks. The talk of a committee approach in Dallas with him and Alfred Morris, plus the belief by many that Zeke’s suspension will be reduced, helps keep the helium from getting too bad. Still, many are on McFadden in the mid-to-late rounds regardless if they’re handcuffing or not.
Dalvin Cook, RB MIN (+8.0%) – His talent is off the charts and he’s getting a lot of preseason love from pundits everywhere. There’s not much to say about the Vikings backfield other than that it should belong to Cook all season long. Latavius Murray is perpetually banged up, coaches don’t like his upright running style and frankly, whomever was in charge of his signing with Minnesota has probably been fired. Murray has already conceded his spot on the depth chart and no one is even talking about Jerick McKinnon. Barring and injury, Cook’s name is the only one you need to know here.
Carlos Hyde, RB SF (+7.9%) – The back and forth throughout the preseason has been a bit aggravating, but after matching up Hyde with Tim Hightower and Joe Williams, coach Kyle Shanahan is likely to stick with Hyde as his bell-cow this season. We’ve see what a Shanahan-led offense does to the fantasy value of the running backs, so as long as Hyde stays healthy, you should enjoy his work this season.
Jameis Winston, QB TB (+7.7%) – Not a whole lot of movement given his ADP, but Winston is steadily climbing up the charts with regard to his contemporaries like Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota. You’ve got to love the addition of DeSean Jackson to the receiving corps and after a couple of preseason games, there’s definitely more hype on O.J. Howard and what he brings to the table as a receiving weapon.
Kenny Golladay, WR DET (+7.3%) – While many were expecting tight end Eric Ebron to haul in the targets vacated by the loss of Anquan Boldin, Golladay has stepped up and really taken this WR3 spot by storm. He looks really strong coming out of the slot and could be an interesting PPR option this season. Not to worry about his targets going to Ebron. That guy just can’t stay healthy.
Fallers
Ezekiel Elliott, RB DAL (-56.1%) – Well duh. His ADP has dropped significantly with word of the suspension and he’s hovering around the late second round now in most drafts. We should here more about whether the suspension will be reduced soon enough, but for now it looks like there are plenty willing to let him go.
Sammy Watkins, WR LAR (-22.6%) – You didn’t really think the move to the Rams would actually increase the interest in Watkins, did you? The Rams have more issues with their passing game than the Bills did, so don’t expect Watkins to suddenly be considered a breakout WR1 at all. Jared Goff has plenty to learn and it will come at the expense of Watkins’ workload.
Marqise Lee, WR JAC (-11.2%) – The ankle sprain is one issue holding people back and the other is the quarterback concerns. Word out of Jacksonville is that Chad Henne has passed Blake Bortles on the depth chart and now there’s talk of Brandon Allen getting some work with the first team. Lee has tremendous talent, but people just don’t trust that he’s going to see the ball with any real consistency here.
T.Y. Hilton, WR IND (-10.8%) – With Andrew Luck’s Week 1 in doubt due to these growing concerns with his throwing shoulder, it’s no surprise that Hilton’s stock is also falling. You can also attribute it to the struggling offensive line for the Colts and the concerns that the ground game isn’t going to hold being led by Frank Gore. The good news is that you just might be able to get a better bargain price on Hilton now and if all these early concerns are all for naught, then you’ve got one hell of a receiver at a discounted rate.
Samaje Perine, RB WAS (-9.6%) – Until he proves he can hold onto the ball, Perine will sit far behind both Robert Kelley and Chris Thompson this season. We know he’s got tremendous talent and he should eventually take over the ground game in its entirety, but until his fumble-itis is cured, he’s going to be hanging out on the sidelines learning from afar.

Player News
CBS Sports’ Aditi Kinkhabwala says free agent QB Aaron Rodgers “is not going to play just for the sake of playing.”
Kinkhabwala has had conversations with Rodgers and executives around the league trying to sign him. Based on those conversations, she says, “it’s extremely clear Rodgers is not going to play just for the sake of playing.” He remains unsigned with the 2025 NFL Draft on the horizon and multiple teams needing quarterback help. The Steelers are the most likely fit, but it seems Rodgers won’t force it if he does not find a good fit. This explains why Rodgers has been interested in the Vikings and has not yet signed. The 41-year-old may be headed for retirement if a situation he prefers, like the Vikings, does not want him back. His options remain limited and Rodgers may call it a career if he still does not like his options later in the offseason.
Bears signed LB T.J. Edwards to a two-year, $20 million extension.
Edwards’ extension includes $16.6 million guaranteed. The Bears originally signed him to a three-year, $19.5 million contract two seasons ago and he has outplayed that salary. Edwards has four interceptions, 6.5 sacks, and 20 tackles for loss in two seasons starting for Chicago in the middle of the field. He gets a raise as the Bears lock up another important part of their defense after extending CB Kyler Gordon earlier in the week.
Georgia EDGE Mykel Williams visited the Falcons on Wednesday.
Williams posted on his Instagram that he visited the Falcons facility on what was the last day of pre-draft visits. The 20-year-old is a Georgia native, played at the University of Georgia, and is expected to be selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The Falcons have a need for an edge rusher and hold the No. 15 pick. They may look to keep Williams in-state and add his skillset to their pass-rushing group. Williams tallied five sacks last season and has explosive production for any team looking to add an edge rusher in the first round.
Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz reports Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart “won’t fall out of the first round.”
Schultz reports his sources are indicating that Dart will not fall out of the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He continues that the Giants are a candidate to trade up from pick No. 34 into the first round to take Dart if they do not take a quarterback at pick No. 3. The Saints are also an option with pick No. 9 or a trade up from pick No. 40. Dart is generally considered the third quarterback to come off the board after Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, so a team in need of a franchise quarterback may take a chance on him after Ward and Sanders are selected. Teams could look to gain a fifth-year option on Dart and trade into the first round if he is not taken earlier.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Raiders LT Kolton Miller is not participating in the voluntary offseason program and seeks an extension.
Miller was the Raiders’ first-round pick in 2018 and has started 107 games over seven seasons for the team. He is set to enter the final year of his current contract in 2025, making $12.25 million. Though he is not technically holding out yet since the offseason program is voluntary, Fowler notes Miller is seeking an extension. He finished last season with an 80.6 PFF grade, No. 14 among offensive tackles. Miller has been the Raiders’ franchise left tackle for seven years now and both sides will certainly discuss an extension as training camp nears.
Virginia Tech RB Bhayshul Tuten said he had a private workout with the Commanders’ running backs coach.
Tuten didn’t name him directly, but Anthony Lynn is currently the Commanders’ running backs coach and run game coordinator. The Commanders were hampered by injuries to both Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler last year. Robinson Jr. missed three games and played through some of his injuries while Ekeler missed five contests and was limited to just 112 touches. Tuten crushed the combine with a 4.32 Forty at 5'9/206. He handled 200 touches in back-to-back seasons at Virginia Tech while topping 1,100 yards from scrimmage in both campaigns. He would offer the Washington backfield a good mix of durability and home run potential.
