Fantasy Football: The most overrated draft picks in Rounds 1-10

[ad_1]

In fantasy football drafts, knowing who to dodge is just as crucial as picking the right stars. A couple of bad calls can throw your whole season off track. Here’s my list of players I’m steering clear of based on their current Yahoo ADP in a 10-team league.

Anthony Richardson poses a legitimate threat to JT’s ceiling, hijacking opportunities near the goal line à la Jalen Hurts with any running back. The health concerns are real, too. Taylor is coming off two injury-plagued seasons where he’s missed an average of 6.5 games.

As one of the best pure runners in the game, I’m not saying he won’t be a beast — I’m saying the price is too high when considering he’s playing with a mobile QB, has a modest career target rate (14.6%) and a recent history of missing games.

A great receiver wasting what’s left of his prime with a lower-tiered bridge QB in Gardner Minshew shouldn’t be drafted in the second round. The Raiders are pacing to be a run-first offense and when looking at Adams’ numbers from last season, suspect QB play lessens his value. Having former Packers assistant Luke Getsy calling the plays should be a good look, knowing he’ll still command tons of targets, especially in the red zone. This early in drafts, I’d target a running back or a receiver who offers more upside.

Remember, being overvalued is the name of the game. When you look at the Chiefs’ decision to load up on wide receivers this offseason, it’s a strong indication that KC’s planning to be less dependent on their soon-to-be 35-year-old future first-ballot Hall Of Famer.

Per PFF, Kelce was the still ranked second among all TEs with an 83.6 receiving grade last year, and he still has the potential to finish among the best TEs. It’s more about the cost. You’re better off taking players with higher ceilings like Drake London, Devon Achane and Deebo Samuel Sr. or…
