Is this just stress…

I agree with Kevin they're under stress from the move. Lift the sides of the pots to make sure they are heavy and don't lack water. Sometimes even with rain they still need more water but I would lean to shock from the move.
 
I also think stress from the move.  But I do think they will be okay.  Established figs are usually pretty tough.  They will be going dormant soon also, so hopefully over the winter, they will recover more.

Don’t think it’s lack of water, it’s been raining every day since Saturday and will be raining every day the rest of the week.

Uprooting a tree significantly reduces its ability to absorb water because it disrupts the extensive root system that draws water from the soil, meaning the remaining roots are often not sufficient to provide the necessary water supply for the tree to survive; essentially, when uprooted, the tree loses most of its capacity to absorb water and nutrients. That can definitely shock the tree.
 
Definitely stressed!  Watch your watering.  If the soil is moist, you're good.  When those leaves drop stop watering until new leaves pop.  What are your nighttime temps like?
 
My trees look like that when they are stressed for sure... sometimes when root-bound, or when over watered..... or when I accidentally knock off a dripper and they don't get water for a month... lots of possible reasons... But yeah... a move can totally do that.

The good thing is that figs are tough.. They may take a hit but they almost always pull through...
 
@"Figgerlickinggood"#7 Maybe some anti-stress micronutrients. Consider vitamin B1 and adjust pH to neutral. Usually the rainwater is close to neutral. That they're in grow bags should be super helpful to keep the soil mix aerobic. Hopefully you picked a well draining potting mix. Also did you apply Extreme Myco to the roots When you repotted in bags. Hope it's going to be okay Teresa.
