Two more weeks of coach-speak and beat writers' opinions have caused plenty more fluctuation in preseason ADP values. While some players have either risen or fallen for good reason, plenty of the changes have occurred as over reactions.
Here we look at some of the biggest movers in order to determine the best current value in drafts:

Risers
WR Phillip Dorsett, Indianapolis Colts
July 21 ADP: 14.03
August 4 ADP: 12.11
With Colts WR T.Y Hilton expected to serve as the possession receiver and Donte Moncrief as the big threat on the outside in the Andrew Luck-led offense, the 5-foot-10 sophomore Dorsett will be the speed threat. The Colts should use plenty of three-wide sets with TE Coby Fleener having moved on to New Orleans, and Dwayne Allen serving mainly as a red zone option.
While not much is known about Dorsett's floor, after catching just 18 of 39 targets for 225 yards and a single score - albeit without Luck as his primary QB - he's just one year removed from beingthe No. 29 selection in draft.
The departures of Fleener and WR Andre Johnson opened up 161 targets in the Colts' passing game, with plenty heading in Dorsett's direction. He could be a top WR4, being selected at a WR6 price tag.
WR Sammie Coates, Pittsburgh Steelers
July 21 ADP: 13.10
August 4 ADP: 12.12
Barely used in his rookie season, Coates is quickly closing the gap on WR Markus Wheaton as the second option to WR Antonio Brown in Martavis Bryant's absence this season. The Steelers used a third-round pick on Coates in 2015, but he received just two targets in six games as an active player. He caught just a single ball for an 11-yard gain.
The options behind Brown are rather bleak. The running back tandem of DeAngelo Williams and Le'Veon Bell (upon return from suspension) will likely serve as the second option in the passing game with some combination of Wheaton, Coates, WR Darrius Heyward-Bey and TE Ladarius Green expected to absorb the rest of QB Ben Roethlisberger's targets.
With no clear No. 3 pass-catching option, Coates represents plenty of risk without a clear standing in the receiving corps. He has the upside in best-ball draft formats as a late pick, but he is best avoided in season-long leagues with a rising ADP.
RB Bilal Powell, New York Jets
July 21 ADP: 13.07
August 4 ADP: 12.01
Powell primarily served as a pass-catching third-down back in the Jets' offense the past two season, hauling in 47 balls for 388 yards and two touchdowns in 2015. With the signing of free-agent RB Matt Forte his role was expected to be diminished due to Forte's own pass-catching abilities.
Yet, Powell is three years Forte's junior, and reports indicate a near-even split in playing time. The two backs have similar contract in length, salary and guaranteed money, with the team equally invested in both players.
Be careful if his ADP rises much higher, but he could carry standalone value in a complimentary role to Forte, with the bonus of being a strong handcuff to a 30-year-old running back.
Fallers
WR Mike Wallace, Baltimore Ravens
July 21 ADP: 13.01
August 4 ADP: 14.02
Wallace is expected to play out of the slot this season and is also considered the Ravens' No. 2 receiver, ahead of Kamar Aiken and behind Steve Smith Sr. Despite what the current or final depth chart may say, expectations are correctly being kept low for a player who hasn't topped 1,000 yards since 2011 and recorded just 473 yards and two touchdowns last year.
He's on his third team in three years and fourth in five. He has had little success since leaving Pittsburgh following the 2012 season, and he's unlikely to find it in a crowded, if not lackluster, passing game in Baltimore.
QB Joe Flacco is well know as one of the best deep-throwing passers in the game - a specialty of Wallace - but Smith Sr. will be the clear No. 1 if healthy, and Aiken represents the safest option of the group.
WR Tavon Austin, Los Angeles Rams
July 21 ADP: 10.09
August 4 ADP: 11.03
Austin left practice due to dehydration this past Sunday, but it had little affect on his ADP. He remains the Rams' top receiver and a big piece of their running attack, with little reason for the sudden drop in ADP.
There is some uncertainty around the Rams' quarterback situation, regarding whether veteran Case Keenum will be the Week 1 starter, but common sense lends to the theory of rookie Jared Goff being handed the job to start the season. Austin was serviceable with Keenum last season and Goff represents a fairly significant upgrade.
He was already a great value pick and is only becoming a better option the further he falls.
TE Gary Barnidge, Cleveland Browns
July 21 ADP: 8.10
August 4 ADP: 9.06
Coming off a surprise breakout season in which he finished as the TE2, there was already plenty of doubt surrounding Barnidge and his ability to repeat in 2016. Now, with rumors of the Dallas Cowboys targeting Browns QB Josh McCown in trade talks, Barnidge is taking even more of a hit.
Barnidge's numbers were understandably much better with McCown than QB Johnny Manziel last season and Robert Griffin III represents plenty of risk as the presumptive starter, with Austin Davis the likely backup if McCown does get moved.
Furthermore, Barnidge's fall is indicative of the late-round value at tight end. Barnidge is being drafted as TE8, with only three tight ends going in the first five rounds. Owners can easily afford to wait on their tight end and they should while Barnidge's outlook continues to worsen.
