Market Monday May 13: How to Handle the Biggest Risers and Fallers in Best Ball ADP

Each week in this space, we’ll look at how ADP has changed over the past week in Best Ball drafts. We’re looking at ADP over the last seven days compared to ADP 8-14 days ago. We’ll start off each week by looking at some of the notable movers, then at the end take a quick look at what we’re curious about in the next week as well as a complete overview of the biggest risers and fallers on both Underdog and FFPC.

To hear Adam Levitan’s take on handling the new player prices, head here.

THIS WEEK’S RISERS

1. Xavier Worthy (Underdog ADP: 56.8, ETR Rank: 70th) ADP has predictably risen as Rashee Rice (who we’ll get to later) has seen his value fall. Rice is now under investigation for assault in addition to the reckless driving incident, and reports indicate he could be suspended 6-8 games at a minimum. That leaves Worthy as the presumptive WR2 for Patrick Mahomes to start the year, and it’s easy to sell yourself on the fastest 40 runner in NFL Combine history pairing well with the best quarterback in the league. We’ve seen the Chiefs slow-roll rookie WRs in the past — including with Rice over the first half of 2023 — but they may have no choice but to thrust Worthy into the flame. We are currently below ADP on Worthy given that he still has to compete with Marquise Brown and Travis Kelce for targets regardless of what happens with Rice, but the upside is obviously tantalizing.
