Risers:
Eric Ebron, TE IND
Currently ranked as the TE2 in fantasy leagues entering Monday Night Football, Colts TE Eric Ebron has been one of the pleasant surprises this season. The former first-round pick of the Lions always flashed glimpses of his ability and upside while with Detroit but struggled with consistency. Although he was close, he never cracked the ranks of a TE1, finishing the past three seasons as the TE13, TE14 and TE13. A change of scenery is apparently just what Ebron needed as his offseason move to Indianapolis has done wonders. Ebron has weekly ranks of TE4, TE11, TE21, TE6, TE1 and TE4, pending MNF. It is an amazing turnaround for a player many dynasty owners had already given up on. Admittedly, Ebron is taking full advantage of his situation with TE Jack Doyle and WR T.Y. Hilton missing multiple games already this season. Regardless, his performance has been impressive. Ebron currently leads the Colts in receiving yards (326), Air Yards (525) and touchdowns (six). As a result of his early-season performance, his dynasty ADP is also on the rise. He jumped from TE20 in the preseason to TE13 in just one month, with an overall rank of 135.
