Fantasy Football Stock Up/Down August 7th

More updates. Rankings being updated soon as well!

Stock Up

Kevin Boss

I like the Boss signing by the Raiders. He can instantly fill the void left by Zach Miller and have similar production.

Brandon Jacobs

I talked about Jacobs being a bit of a sleeper this year after he averaged 5.6 YPC last season. It looks like Jacobs will receive more touches this year and with Bradshaw being very injury prone, Jacobs could end up starting a few games.

Ryan Grant

Well, the Packers kept their word and Grant is running exclusively with the first team. Expect Grant to produce like he used to before the injury.

Legedu Naanee

Naanee hasn’t won a starting spot yet but I expect him to beat LaFell and Gettis by the time the season starts. Monitor this situation because Naanee might be worth a late round flier.

Roy Williams

It looks like Roy Williams will be the #1 in Chicago and could see a lot of targets, especially in the redzone. He looks like a very enticing sleeper right now.

Tarvis Beckum

The talented pass catching TE from Wisconsin will now get his chance to start for the Giants. He’ll be the most targeted TE on the team so he could have a pretty solid year.

Stock Down

Montario Hardesty

Hardesty is still not recovered from his knee injury and hasn’t been practicing. He might even end up missing some games. So much for him cutting into Hillis’ workload.

James Starks

Grant is running with the first team so I expect Starks to be nothing more than a short yardage back with a couple of carries sprinkled in here and there. Not someone you want to draft.

Johnny Knox

It looks like Knox will be a little bit of a let down this year. The addition of Roy Williams has crowded things a bit at the WR position and Williams was running with the 1st team at practices while Knox was with the 2nd team. On top of that the Bears announced that Knox will be the primary kick returner which usually means a smaller role on offense. It’s a puzzling situation because Knox has been their best receiver the past 2 years.

Darrius Heyward-Bey

If you’re one of the 5 people that thought DHB would be a sleeper this year and was ready to break out, I’m very sorry to tell you he won’t. He doesn’t even practice with the team right now and there’s no signs of him being hurt. Things are looking real bad for him and wouldn’t even be surprised if he gets released.

Dustin Keller

The Jets wanted to get Keller more involved this year but with the signing of Derrick Mason he’ll surely lose some targets. Keller can still be a solid TE, but he’s still more of a #2 than a #1 TE.
