Other than the Ricky Pearsall story, there wasn’t much news on this labor day weekend, but the limited news involved running backs. Andy Reid said recent pickup Samaje Perine will play on Thursday, and may assume the pass catching role previously held by Jerick McKinnon. He may be worth a pickup in PPR formats if you have an extra spot available…Marshawn Lloyd returned to Packers’ practice on Sunday, meaning he will likely be ready to fill the RB2 role behind Josh Jacobs…We are in the home stretch of drafts with the season starting on Thursday and there are some players rising and falling in the past week with their ADP. One of the biggest risers has been Rashee Rice, due to Marquise Brown being out Week One and no suspension imminent for his offseason altercations…Cooper Kupp has seen a recent rise due to the injury concerns of Puka Nacua. I tend to think this is a bit of an overreaction as Nucua will play Week One, and I’m not ready to take him in the late second round…As Bo Nix looks more ready for the Broncos offense, it has helped the ADPs of both Courtland Sutton and Javonte Williams. Williams will have to improve his yards per carry to maintain the role, while touchdown regression will likely hit for Courtland Sutton…Another player who has seen a big rise in ADP is Taysom Hill, as he fits what you would be looking for in a TE2: someone with upside. Hill will get fantasy points rushing, receiving, and throwing, and as people realize this, this is why his ADP is rising...Jerome Ford has seen a 9 pick increase in his ADP, as it looks like he will be the starting RB for at least the first month. His ADP is much later in non-NFFC leagues, so look at your league’s ADP as you may be able to wait before grabbing Ford.
