Auction Watch: July 9, 2026

Today's auction-relevant signals, each with the player named and what it means for your bids. Verified from reputable reporting; values are projections, not guarantees.

Rashee Rice trending toward a full camp

Rashee Rice had knee surgery in May, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid said on July 5 that Rice is "in a good place" and rehabbing well, with Reid expecting him to report to training camp on time. Off-field uncertainty has pushed Rice's ADP down over the past week. If camp confirms he is a full participant, buy the discount on a proven WR1 in Kansas City's offense.

Adonai Mitchell is the fastest riser in best ball ADP

Adonai Mitchell has climbed more than any other player in Underdog ADP over the past month, moving from pick 18.02 to 15.05, with Jets coaches and teammates praising his camp performance entering his first full season in New York. Buy Mitchell now as a WR breakout flyer before the price catches up to the buzz.

Alec Pierce is a fade until camp confirms him

Alec Pierce underwent an ankle cleanup procedure and offered a four to six month recovery timeline, and Colts coach Shane Steichen would not commit to Pierce being ready for the start of training camp in late July. Fade Pierce early in auctions and revisit only once camp reports confirm he is practicing.

Malik Nabers is still behind schedule

Malik Nabers underwent a second procedure on his knee this offseason and remains behind schedule in the Giants' program, though GM Joe Schoen says he expects Nabers to be fine for Week 1. His current price still assumes a full season of work. Only bid at cost if he slides a round below that price.

Chris Olave is set to clear his blood thinners

Chris Olave, who missed the end of 2025 with a blood clot, was scheduled to come off blood thinners on June 29 and is on track for a full training camp, per Saints reporting. He posted 100 catches for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns in his last full season. Buy his WR1 talent now, before a clean camp erases the remaining health discount.
