Fantasy Flex Podcast: Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers
In this Fantasy Flex episode, hosts Chris Raybon and Sean Koerner break down the most notable player stock movements from preseason action and roster cuts as fantasy football drafts officially ramp up for 2025. Kicking off the show, the duo highlights several standout risers at every position, offering both analysis and actionable draft strategy for listeners.
At quarterback, veteran Joe Flacco is unexpectedly named Week 1 starter, boosting his relevance along with the fantasy outlook for Browns pass-catchers. More impactful, rookie Jaxson Dart impresses in preseason play and appears poised to challenge Russell Wilson for the Giants’ starting job, potentially offering immediate QB1 upside and significant rushing value.
Running back risers include Jacory Crosky-Merritt, who’s in line to inherit Brian Robinson Jr.‘s former role with the Commanders, and Ollie Gordon, whose stock has climbed steadily as injuries thin out the Miami backfield. Jaydon Blue earns sleeper status thanks to a weak Dallas depth chart and his own resilience in overcoming preseason injuries.
To hear the rest of their takes, watch the video below!
Wide receiver risers feature Dont’e Thornton, now pegged as a major downfield threat for the Raiders, and Courtland Sutton, whose strong preseason performances confirm his role as Denver’s clear alpha. Marvin Mims is flagged for increased snap share potential, and rookie Matthew Golden is picking up momentum in Green Bay, running with the starters and demonstrating big-play ability.
Tight end risers include rookie Harold Fannin Jr., whose versatility could earn him a WR-like role for the Browns, and Cade Otton, who may benefit from injuries to Tampa Bay receivers. Mason Taylor and Terrance Ferguson also draw mention for positive developments during the preseason.
Turning to stock fallers, Raybon and Koerner highlight quarterbacks Anthony Richardson, Russell Wilson, and Baker Mayfield facing decreased opportunities or poor preseason play. Among running backs, Isaac Guerendo, Jaylen Wright, and Brian Robinson Jr. slide down draft boards due to unfavorable depth chart movement or injury. Wide receiver losers include Michael Wilson, DJ Moore, and especially Chris Godwin, whose multi-injury recovery timeline signals deep red flags for fantasy viability. At tight end, Mike Gesicki and Evan Engram are flagged for increased competition and declining usage.
