Kevin Szafraniec looks at the 12 biggest risers in redraft ADP since the beginning of the preseason and breaks down whether fantasy managers should be buying or selling them at their current prices.

As the preseason heats up every year, we see training camp buzz lead to ADP explosions across fantasy football. While there are generally legitimate reasons for the buzz, sometimes the hype goes overboard, turning what was once a strong target into a clear avoid. As we come down the stretch of the 2025 offseason, we definitely find ourselves in the thick of the preseason hype period.

In order to decide whether fantasy managers should continue to buy 2025’s biggest risers at their elevated ADPs, we will be taking a look at why they have seen an increase in price and if they can still deliver value at their current ADP. For this exercise, I’ll be pulling ADP information from the FFPC’s Main Event and Big Gorilla going back to the last week of July.

The FFPC offers fantasy managers two separate chances to bring home a $1 million grand prize in the Main Event and Big Gorilla! New users can save $25 off their first team with the code 25ROTOVIZ or by following this link!
