Welcome to TimersSports
We have one week of preseason under our belts and players stock values are already dropping and rising. An stock value is most commonly known as ADP (Average Draft Position). Figuring out the difference between a great value and a bad value is key. Injuries , position battles , poor/brilliant play making , etc all can kill or hype up a ADP.
Stock Rising:
Brandin Crooks - Crooks have been unbelievable so far. He have been very impressive since making his NFL arrival. Everyone around the Saints camp been raving about this young man. His blasting speed is top notch. Expect his value to continue to rise.
Jay Cutler: Cutler value have consistency gone up since signing a new deal with the Chicago Bears. His APD rising will be his ultimate downfall. Right now , Cutler is an QB2 caliber player with possible QB1 numbers from time to time. Unfortunately owners are reaching for him as their starter in round 5 or 6. Not the best idea. Try to get Cutler within his ADP. Unless you're in a deep format (Ex: Like multiple QBs leagues).
Lamar Miller: Coming into training camp , the only competition Miller was face with was Moreno. Well fortunately for Miller , Knowshon have yet make it on the field. Mainly due to off season surgery and being out of shape upon arrival in Miami. Miller stock have seen a steady rise since camp started. He can be found in most draft in round 8.
Fallen stock value:
Arian Foster: I said it back in March. Foster value gonna drop like rock in the summer months. As I wasn't convinced he could stay healthy (not even during training camp). Rightfully so , Foster not even ranked inside my current top 15 backs for week 1. Foster can carry any team when healthy. Unfortunately that is a huge risk for any owner.
Nick Foles: After being manhandled by the Chicago Bears Defense , the doubt is starting to surfaced. To no surprise , the value of Foles have take a small hit. Not enough to make him undraftable though. Foles still have enough upside to be an assertive asset in drafts.
Andre Johnson: Much like teammate Foster , Johnson stock have dropped due to missing time in training camp. Johnson who was far from productive last season. Doesn't seems happy in Houston. Especially with a below average quarterback. Fitzpatrick struggled in the preseason opener. Its may suggest to avoid Johnson unless his ADP drops big time in the upcoming weeks.
