Training camp risers to target at the end of your fantasy football drafts
By Raju Byfield
With training camps wrapping up Rizzla takes a look at the players who have seen their fantasy stocks rise, and who should be targeted at the end of your fantasy football drafts.
With training camps coming to an end and the first preseason game in the books for all NFL teams, it is as good a time as any to discuss training camp risers to target at the end of your fantasy football drafts.
Of course the easiest path to make this list is to be a rookie who has exceeded the expectations of most, and as a result scream ADP value from their current draft positions. However, there are also some veterans who have yet to put it all together at the NFL level. There is plenty of depth chart based opportunity around the league, and all the names on this list look set to take advantage.
Names like Kalen Ballage and Tevin Coleman did not make this because of their current draft positions. Their ADP’s have risen past the seventh round cut off to qualify for this list. Coleman is the 5.06 based on ADP and has gone as high as 4.02.
Ballage is still the 10.06 based on ADP, but has gone as high as 6.02 in competitive drafts. Mecole Hardman did not make this list, because although he has impressed in training camp and early preseason action, he has actually seen his ADP fall. Hardman peaked around 9.07 according to Fantasy Football Calculator and is now the 14.01 based on ADP after seeing a low of 14.07.
All of the names we will discuss are potential league winners because of the potential value they can return versus their current ADP. File them away, add them to your cheat sheet, highlight them on your deep league sleeper/value list. Let’s dig in.
