🧊 Section 1: Stock Up / Stock Down (Temperature Check)

Tracking player value swings that impact lineups, trades, and long-term outlook.

We’re eight weeks in, and player values are already on the move. Every week brings risers and fallers, but these are the swings that matter most, breakouts you can lean into, and red flags you’ll want to keep an eye on.

Stock Up

WR Chris Bell, Louisville

Louisville wideout Chris Bell continues to make noise and it’s time to start taking him seriously as both a CFF weapon and an emerging NFL prospect.

Against No. 2 Miami, Bell dominated from start to finish, hauling in 9 receptions for 136 yards and 2 touchdowns, earning his third consecutive 100-yard performance and ACC Receiver of the Week honors for the third time this season. He’s now totaled 44 receptions, 638 yards, and 6 scores, with 31 catches, 441 yards, and 5 touchdowns coming just in ACC play.

Bell’s physicality and route control were on full display, winning contested balls, separating against press coverage, and thriving on in-breaking routes that punished Miami’s secondary. Moss clearly trusts him as his go-to option, and that chemistry has been lethal.

From a fantasy standpoint, Bell has transitioned from matchup-dependent flex to automatic weekly starter in all formats. From a devy/dynasty lens, he’s pushing his way into legitimate NFL Draft buzz, showing the body control, vertical ability, and toughness that scouts covet.

🏈 C2C Takeaway: Bell isn’t just hot — he’s ascending. In an offense that trusts him and a schedule that stays favorable, he’s shaping up to be one of 2025’s most impactful late-season risers.
