Is a Changing of the Guard in the Carolina Backfield Imminent? The August ADP Heat Check: RB Edition

Kevin Szafraniec explains whether fantasy managers should be buying or selling the biggest running back risers and fallers in FFPC redraft contests over the past two months.

In the previous two iterations of this series, we focused on FFPC best ball ADP. With redraft season in full swing, we’ll now turn our attention to the biggest ADP risers and fallers from the FFPC’s Main Event and Big Gorilla.

Aside from the roster management aspects of best ball and redraft, the most significant differences between the FFPC’s best ball slim and redraft formats are that quarterbacks generally get pushed further down the board in the latter, while redraft leagues also include starting kicker and defense slots. Otherwise, the same TE-premium scoring, 20-round drafts, and starting lineup spots — one quarterback, two running backs, two tight ends, and two standard flex spots — still apply.

Given the hyper-focus on RBs in the early rounds of 2026 drafts, it is only fair that we kick off our look at ADP risers and fallers from the past two months there.
