We regularly update our rankings as part of our commitment to providing timely, relevant, and actionable content. The landscape of dynasty and devy football is constantly evolving, player performance, depth chart movement, draft stock, and injuries all shift values week to week.
With that in mind, I wanted to highlight a few players who have risen or dropped on my latest big board. In the dynastic world, rankings should never be static, they should adapt as new data and context emerge.
Here are four players from each format whose stock has moved the most.
Dynasty
New England Patriots QB - Drake Maye (QB7)
Few players have made a bigger leap this season than Drake Maye. After a rocky rookie campaign, the second-year quarterback has the Patriots sitting at 7-2 and in control of the AFC East. What’s most impressive isn’t just the record, it’s how efficiently he’s getting it done. Maye currently ranks top five in passing yards, touchdowns, and completion percentage (74.1%), all while operating behind one of the league’s most inconsistent offensive lines. Even when under constant pressure, he’s delivering poised, precise throws and producing at a level few quarterbacks in the league can match.
His advanced numbers back it up: Maye leads the NFL in tight-window completion rate (62.2%) and is pushing the ball downfield with an 8.5-yard average depth of target, a combination that screams confidence and command. He’s delivered at least 200 passing yards and a passer rating above 100 in eight straight games, a feat only achieved by names like Mahomes, Brady, and Rodgers during MVP seasons.
From a dynasty perspective, this is what ascension looks like. Maye is proving to be a locked-in QB1 with long-term staying power, and the Patriots’ offensive turnaround under Vrabel only raises his ceiling. “Letting Drake Maye be Drake Maye” has paid off and he’s only scratching the surface of how good he can be.
📈 Dynasty Verdict: Drake Maye has officially arrived as a top-7 dynasty quarterback, and he’s still trending upward.

Buffalo Bills RB - James Cook (RB9)
James Cook has taken a major step forward this season, both on the field and in dynasty value. After last year’s breakout, many questioned whether his production was sustainable or simply a one-year flash. He’s answered those doubts emphatically. Through nine games, Cook is averaging 19.0 fantasy points per game, suitable for a top-eight RB finish, and he’s done it with remarkable consistency, rushing for over 100 yards in five of his last eight contests.
The usage tells the story. Cook owns a career-high 76% opportunity share and a 62% snap rate, confirming that Buffalo now sees him as their true workhorse. He’s handling nearly every meaningful touch in the offense, while maintaining his trademark efficiency as both a rusher and receiver. His blend of burst, balance, and versatility has made him a mismatch nightmare for defenses, and his growth as a goal-line runner has erased one of the few concerns that lingered early in his career.
📈 Dynasty Verdict: James Cook has cemented himself as a legitimate RB1 in both production and dynasty value. Those who sold early on sustainability missed the mark, this version of Cook is built to last.

Seattle Seahawks WR - Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR4)
As someone who’s believed in Jaxon Smith-Njigba since his Ohio State days, this season feels like the full-circle payoff. The breakout has arrived, and it’s been dominant. JSN has now topped 100 receiving yards in four straight games and six of eight overall, with the “down” weeks still sitting at 96 and 79 yards. That kind of consistency is elite territory. He’s currently leading the NFL in receiving yards (948) through eight games, pacing for a historic 2,000-yard season, something no wide receiver has ever accomplished.
The chemistry between Sam Darnold and JSN has been a revelation. Darnold’s accuracy and comfort in this system have unlocked Smith-Njigba’s full route tree, and Seattle’s offense has taken off as a result. The recent addition of Rashid Shaheed should only make JSN’s life easier, pulling defensive attention away and freeing up more single coverage opportunities.
From a dynasty lens, it’s time to start talking about JSN in the same breath as the game’s elite. His youth, production, and stability in a suddenly explosive Seahawks offense make him one of the safest long-term assets in fantasy.
📈 Dynasty Verdict: Jaxon Smith-Njigba is no longer just a breakout — he’s a legitimate WR1 overall candidate in dynasty formats. The believers were right all along.

Los Angeles Chargers TE - Oronde Gadsden II (TE13)
Oronde Gadsden II is quickly proving that his college production at Syracuse wasn’t a fluke; it was a preview. After a quiet September, he exploded in October, stringing together four straight games with at least five catches and 60+ yards. He’s now up to 453 receiving yards, ranking fifth among all NFL tight ends, and he’s catching an incredible 84.2% of his targets. For a rookie, that’s elite efficiency.
What makes Gadsden’s rise so compelling is how seamlessly he’s fit into Justin Herbert’s offense. His size, athleticism, and natural receiving instincts have given the Chargers a reliable middle-of-the-field weapon who can also stretch seams and win in traffic. Among rookies, Gadsden already ranks fourth in explosive plays (20+ yards), showing his ability to create chunk gains like a wide receiver.
He’s not just flashing potential; he’s producing like a future top-10 tight end right now.
📈 Dynasty Verdict: Tied to Herbert and emerging as a consistent weapon, Oronde Gadsden II is on a clear path to TE1 status, and he’s arriving faster than anyone expected.

Devy
Ohio State QB - Julian Sayin (QB1)
It’s time to say it plainly: Julian Sayin is that guy. The former five-star recruit has taken command of the Ohio State offense in a way few first-year starters ever have. What was once a crowded QB room is now clearly his team, and the results speak for themselves. Sayin has the Buckeyes sitting at 8-0 while completing a jaw-dropping 80.7% of his passes, a number that would break the NCAA record if the season ended today.
He’s not just managing the offense, he’s driving it. Sayin leads the nation in completion percentage, passer rating (197.1), and adjusted yards per attempt, while ranking third in touchdown passes and top-20 in passing yards. He’s thrown for 2,224 yards, 24 touchdowns, and just three interceptions, showing poise, touch, and elite decision-making well beyond his years.
What’s most impressive is that Sayin doesn’t rely solely on the talent around him, he elevates it. His timing, anticipation, and accuracy on vertical throws have unlocked the full potential of Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, giving Ohio State one of the most efficient and explosive passing attacks in the country.
📈 Devy Verdict: Julian Sayin isn’t just the future, he’s the present. He’s firmly entrenched as my QB1 in devy, combining elite accuracy, composure, and command in a way that screams franchise cornerstone.
Michigan RB - Jordan Marshall (RB17)
The running back landscape in devy has been volatile this season, but Jordan Marshall has been one of the few bright, stable spots. With Justice Haynes sidelined, Marshall has seized full control of the Wolverines’ backfield and hasn’t looked back. Through eight games, he’s totaled 124 carries for 729 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 5.9 yards per carry while showing the vision, burst, and contact balance that made him such a coveted recruit coming out of high school.
Marshall isn’t just producing, he’s doing it efficiently and with purpose. His blend of downhill power and open-field agility fits perfectly in Michigan’s physical offensive identity. He’s also added value in the return game and proven he can handle a full workload, which only strengthens his case as a complete back at the next level.
For devy managers, Marshall has already delivered a strong ROI on his preseason value. What began as a long-term stash is now a player pushing toward legitimate Day 2 NFL Draft buzz if this trajectory continues.
📈 Devy Verdict: In a year where clarity at running back is rare, Jordan Marshall has emerged as one of the position’s most dependable risers, a safe, ascending asset who’s playing like Michigan’s next great RB.
Clemson WR - T.J. Moore (WR19)
It’s been a rough year for T.J. Moore and for Clemson’s passing game as a whole. After flashing legitimate upside as a freshman in 2024 (45 receptions, 651 yards, five touchdowns), Moore was expected to take the next step and become the Tigers’ offensive centerpiece. Instead, he’s plateaued. Through seven games, he’s managed 26 receptions for 407 yards and three scores, leaving fantasy managers wanting more from a player once viewed as a surefire riser.
The frustrating part is that the opportunity has been there. With Bryant Wesco sidelined, Moore had a clear path to alpha-level targets, yet the Clemson offense continues to sputter, and Moore hasn’t been able to elevate it. His route consistency, effort on contested balls, and separation have all taken a step back, raising concerns about his long-term ceiling.
At this point, Moore looks like a player in need of a fresh start. The talent is there, but the system fit and development curve just haven’t aligned. A transfer might be his best shot at regaining value before his stock slips even further.
📉 Devy Verdict: Once viewed as a future top-15 devy WR, T.J. Moore’s profile has dimmed considerably. Unless he resets in a new offense next year, he’s trending dangerously close to bust territory.
Houston TE - Tanner Koziol (TE9)
Tanner Koziol continues to be one of the most underrated tight ends in college football and one of my favorite under-the-radar devy prospects. The former Ball State transfer has made a seamless jump to the Power Four level, instantly emerging as a focal point of Houston’s offense and one of the most productive tight ends in the country.
At 6’7”, Koziol is a matchup nightmare. He’s physical at the catch point, fluid enough to separate, and has become Connor Weigman’s go-to target on third downs and in the red zone. Through nine games, he’s posted 48 receptions for 504 yards and five touchdowns, ranking third in the Big 12 in receptions and top-10 in receiving touchdowns. His steady hands and knack for finding soft spots in coverage have made him one of the most dependable players on the field.
Already invited to the East-West Shrine Bowl, Koziol is finally getting national attention. His name has appeared on both the Mackey and Biletnikoff Award watchlists, rare for a tight end, and he’s living up to that billing week after week.
📈 Devy Verdict: With size, production, and reliable route running, Tanner Koziol has positioned himself as a legitimate draft prospect and a name to circle early for devy managers looking for long-term value at a shallow position.
