We are now deep into training camp and through Preseason Week 2. While some players have greatly raised their fantasy football stock this summer, others have seen their value plummet. There are plenty of reasons why fantasy players can lose value, and we are going to talk about some of the players who have seen their fantasy stock drop this summer.

QB Jaxson Dart, New York Giants

Negative reports throughout training camp have been driving down Dart's ADP and fantasy value. There seems to be an endless news stream out of New York about how Dart and the Giants' offense have been struggling in camp.

Malik Nabers' health and concerns about Dart's playing style also haven't helped his value. He is now in danger of falling out of the QB1s if he falls any further.

RB Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers

This drop really started when Rico Dowdle exploded last season when Hubbard went down with an injury and missed a few weeks during this season. We have seen Jonathon Brooks slowly ascend over the course of this offseason, with his value exploding at Hubbard's expense once Hubbard suffered a hamstring injury in camp.

Once Brooks scored a touchdown in Preseason Week 2, it became clear that Hubbard would no longer be drafted like the top running back in Carolina. Who actually is the RB1 in Carolina once the season starts remains to be seen.

RB RJ Harvey, Denver Broncos

Harvey seeing his value drop just seems like fantasy owners coming to their senses. His early offseason ADP never really made sense unless it was simply skewed by bestball drafts.

He was an overdrafted prospect who is clearly locked into a smaller role in the Broncos backfield. While we do expect him to make some big plays and be a boom-or-bust option at times, he was just never all that good, and clearly isn't going to be the top back in Denver.

WR Jordyn Tyson, New Orleans Saints

Tyson was an outstanding rookie prospect and was rightfully selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. However, he has an extensive injury history, which was a major concern for him, including a season-ending hamstring injury last season.

Unfortunately, he has already suffered another hamstring injury in the NFL, which is expected to cost him about two months. We expect that he'll land on the PUP list and miss at least the first four weeks of the season. That is tough for a rookie to overcome and has tanked his fantasy stock.

WR Mike Evans, San Francisco 49ers

Evans will enter this season at 33 years old, coming off an injury-plagued season, and it feels like we get an update about him leaving practice every day because he's either injured or re-aggravating an injury.

It's likely not based in logic, but the 49ers also just feel cursed by injury, which is probably further driving down his ADP. I did multiple drafts this weekend, and he is plummeting. His real-time ADP also reflects this drop.

TE Oronde Gadsden II, Los Angeles Chargers

Gadsden looked like the next star tight end last season after exploding onto the scene before being phased out of the offense. Still, fantasy owners were high on him entering this offseason, but things have not gone well.

The Chargers have added David Njoku, and this preseason have been treating Gadsden like the backup tight end at best. Things are not looking good at all for his outlook this season.
