  "account": "Week 2 of the fantasy football series brought a number of moves in Yahoo ADP, particularly among the backfield and wide receiver positions. The Panthers' running back, Jonathon Brooks, saw his ADP rise by 8.6 spots as teams recognize his potential as the lead back in Carolina. Meanwhile, MarShawn Lloyd, the Packers' running back, saw his ADP climb by 9.5 spots due to his strong preseason performance.\n\nStefon Diggs, the Commanders' wide receiver, rose another round in ADP after his signing with Washington, as his 2024 performance showcased a high route-running average among receivers with 300+ routes. De Zhaun Stribling, the 49ers' rookie wideout, experienced the largest ADP increase at 26.3 spots, thanks to his impressive preseason debut where he caught seven out of eight targets. On the other hand, Chuba Hubbard, the Panthers' running back, saw his ADP drop by 5.1 spots due to his ongoing hamstring issues. Courtland Sutton, the Broncos' wide receiver, experienced a 7.7 spot decrease in ADP, but is still without any injury concerns.",
