If you're watching this video and you're in a fantasy football league, you just made a great choice because today we are breaking down the five players that you need to avoid in your fantasy drafts and let your idiot league mates draft instead.
If you're not familiar, I'm Sal Vetri. I've helped over 10,000 people win their fantasy leagues alone the last couple of seasons and I plan to do the same for you with this video.
And let's start off the bat with Joe Burrow. Yes, a controversial one because obviously Joe Burrow is a fantastic quarterback, the number one overall pick back in 2020. He's amazing. We know what he did in 2024 when he finished as a top five fantasy quarterback when Ja'Marr Chase won the triple crown. We know how good this Bengals offense is when Joe Burrow was healthy.
Now that Joe Burrow being healthy is a pretty key piece of this because he rarely stays fully healthy including last year. But like usual, when he's actually healthy, he's been good. In the six games last year down the stretch when he was healthy from week 13 on, he's averaging 22 and 1/2 fantasy points per game. He looks fantastic out there throwing 37 times per game. The Bengals haven't had a defense for two seasons. That's a big part of it on 270 passing yards per game. All of these basically ranked like borderline top 10, but the issue for Joe Burrow, what it has been in the past and always has been, is he's not a mobile quarterback. If you watch football at all, you know this and that hurts in fantasy football.
He's known for doing things like this. In 2024 when he led the NFL in passing yards, he led the NFL in air yards, he led the NFL in pass attempts with 38.4 per game. He was doing very similar things down the stretch last year. That's exactly what Joe Burrow is known for. He's not known for the rushing upside. He's not a mobile quarterback. If we pull it up here on Player Profiler, he's not going to give you anything on the ground. If you look at this right here, I mean the guy had 0.35 red zone carries per game, just one scramble per game last year. And overall, you're looking at a guy who saw 2.4 carries per game. And some of these are going to be your kneel downs. I mean, a good amount of these are going to be factored in as kneel downs or potentially just avoiding a sack and taking a negative three-yard loss out of bounds, something along those lines.
But if we look at his past few seasons here, 2024 the year he was actually able to stay healthy and was dominant out there, even in this season when he's leading the NFL in passing yards, right? When he's going out there and throwing 43 touchdowns. Heck, he even had 200 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. So 45 total touchdowns. Even in that season, despite it being an unreal season, he finished as the quarterback three. Two other quarterbacks were still ahead of him. And the reason why that's very important and he's in this video right now as somebody that you have to let your idiot league mates draft instead, is because Joe Burrow is going as the third quarterback off the board. He had a historic year in 2024 and he finished as the third quarterback. So, if you're drafting Joe Burrow where he currently goes in round three, you need him to have another historic year just for him to like pay off the price, not even beat it. And if he was to happen to have a season like he has two of the last three years where he had 15 points per game, not the greatest, 17 points per game, a little bit better but still not the greatest, a borderline top 10 quarterback, he's busting for you. You have to take him relatively early in drafts. You can see right here he goes as the quarterback three behind Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson. He's going as the 32nd overall player right now in early ADP. What does that mean? It means that Joe Burrow is a third-round pick in fantasy drafts. To me, that is absolutely crazy. I can't remember the last time that I selected a quarterback who is not mobile in like the third round or higher. No, it's always been the Josh Allens, the Lamar Jacksons, the Patrick Mahomes who has a little bit or at least a decent amount of mobility. And the problem that I have with taking Joe Burrow in the third round and as the third quarterback off the board, it has nothing to do with his talent level or his offense or his playmakers. We know those are all good and his defense will potentially still be bad. I mean, they've added some pieces, so maybe you're hoping that they'll be a little bit better, but they've also lost a lot of pieces, i.e. Trey Hendrickson.
But if you look at this, you can see that right here he's going 32nd overall. Jayden Daniels is going 49th overall, a round and a half later. You scroll down, uh guys like Jalen Hurts are currently going 32 picks, three rounds after Joe Burrow. You can say what you want about Jalen Hurts and how he stunk last year and whatever in the offense and all that. Jalen Hurts three rounds later for his rushing upside, uh Jayden Daniels almost two rounds later for his rushing upside. The guy was basically an MVP candidate as a rookie when he was healthy, Jayden Daniels. Just give me those guys instead. Because if a guy like Jalen Hurts who goes three rounds after Joe Burrow, you can say what you want about him, but if he's just still going out there and starting all the games and finding the end zone, he's going to put up, even in last year, a bad season, he had 19.1 fantasy points per game, more than Joe Burrow has had over in two of his last three seasons. A top-10 quarterback basically every single year. The floor for Jalen Hurts, thanks to his rushing upside of last year, 421 yards, eight rushing touchdowns. By the way, his lowest lowest total as a starter in the last four years in both of those, those will probably only increase this year with a new offensive coordinator out there and some new weapons to play with as far as a passing game goes. Just give me Jalen Hurts for that price point two rounds later, three rounds later instead.
Now, the next guy in this list has to be, in my opinion, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, somebody who as a rookie got a lot of hype as a seventh-round pick with the Commanders and older Croskey. He's already 25 years old entering year two. And don't get me wrong, as a rookie, he did have some spike games. There were some weeks in there where it did look fun and we were saying, "Oh my god, this could be the last the next great late-round running back drafted, right?" But the problem was, when you look at his season on a whole, like it wasn't all that great. Obvi- Look, part of this is because his quarterback was hurt, right? That's going to impact the backfield, defenses could load the box. But this was a guy who as a rookie averaged 47 rushing yards per game. Only had nine total receptions. Receptions in general is not a big part of his game. Now, how was he saved last year? Touchdowns. He had eight touchdowns. He was getting carries. He had a a couple of explosive play touchdowns for more than 10 yards out. So, this is going to help you, but at the end of the day, this was a player who went out there and he never really got the workload in terms of like a workhorse running back. They always had other guys involved last year, whether it was the beginning of the season before guys like Austin Ekeler got hurt or if it was later in the season battling guys like Chris Rodriguez. Only a 39% snap share. Didn't even see 50% of the opportunities.
Now, when you add in the context that this was a seventh-round rookie last year, suddenly it looks a lot better. Suddenly, 900 total yards as a seventh-round rookie with eight touchdowns is obviously solid you could build off of. And I think that he has the opportunity too. But the problem for me is that anytime he had competition last year, if it was Austin Ekeler in the beginning of the season or Chris Rodriguez later in the season, he did not come through. Look at this right here. This is according to RotoViz game splits tool. In the seven games on the left side right here, these seven games were when he played with Chris Rodriguez, when the both of them were healthy down the stretch. Austin Ekeler was already hurt. In those seven games, Jacory Croskey-Merritt only averaged 4.1 PPR points per game. He only had nine rush attempts and 28 rushing yards per game. Now, of course, a big caveat there is that Jayden Daniels was hurt during this time, so the entire offense fell apart, but during that time Chris Rodriguez was having better games than Jacory Cross Kemore. That, to me, is a concern. If you're this great running back seventh round pick, I get it. But, if you're a great rookie, you should not be getting just four points per game when your biggest competition is Chris Rodriguez, who's not even on the team anymore. That's how much the Commanders cared about Chris Rodriguez.
Now, the current backfield is totally different than last year. No more Austin Ekeler, no more Chris Rodriguez, but there's still competition, arguably harder competition. Rachaad White is back here. I would argue that he's the better version at this stage in his career than an Austin Ekeler pass-catching running back who was a little bit over the hill last year. Rachaad White, to me, is definitely going to be the passing down back, at least, and has a chance to earn some early down work. Keep in mind, Rachaad White played with Jayden Daniels during their time together in a in college, so maybe there's just some sort of some sort of familiarity there. Gets him on the field more. Tough to say that word. Bad look by me, but whatever. Next up, they added Jerome Ford, veteran running back grinder. Not really sure where he factors in. Maybe like a goal-line role. I doubt it. Maybe he's a cut candidate. And they drafted a sixth-round pick in Ke'Shawn Allen. Look, he's a sixth-round pick. You might not say much there, but like we've been mentioning, Jacory Cross Kemore was a seventh-round pick last year, and this organization let him go for 800 rushing yards, right? And and be a big factor in that offense. So, I wouldn't doubt that Ke'Shawn Allen, who's a very sound runner, over 1,300 rushing yards last year at Penn State, I wouldn't doubt that he can't get involved this year in his rookie season.
Overall, at the end of the day, it's not the toughest competition, but I do think Rachaad White being there definitely eliminates passing downs for Jacory Cross Kemore and potentially some early down work, so that kind of hurts a potential breakout for him. In terms of other additions to this offense, if we pull up the team changes tracker in the Fantasy Blueprint, you could see right here, the big ones were Jerome Ford in terms of the backfield and Rachaad White. They added some pass-catchers, but they did lose pieces on their offensive line. Most notably, Tyler Badie as the center. They replaced him in the draft with a sixth-round pick in Matt Golden, but that could hurt the run game as well when you're losing one of the better or solid starting center, I should say, in the NFL. So, overall, I do think Rachaad White, by the way, Rachaad White not just a pass-catching running back. Sure, he's not the most efficient running back on the ground, but if you look up what this guy did in 2023 when he got a longer leash during his time in Tampa Bay, he took on a workload, 272 carries, did similar things in college as like the main engine both as a runner and pass catcher on that Arizona State team. 990 rushing yards. So, it's not out of the question that they just say, "Hey, Rashaad, not only are you the passing down back, you're just going to be our main RB and we'll mix in Ke'Shawn Cager and Keke Coutee." I'm not saying that that's likely, I'm just saying there's a possibility. Or maybe it's just going to be another three-headed monster backfield like last year. No running back, including Ke'Shawn Cager and Keke Coutee, saw over 175 carries. It was pretty split up, right? Even at Jeremy McNichols with 44 carries, Austin Ekeler at times. Let's not forget that Jaden Daniels, he only had 58 carries last year. If he's healthy this year, this is going to be higher. So, it's just a really tough place for me to want to go out there and get Ke'Shawn Cager and Keke Coutee when you're battling probably one, maybe two, but probably one other running back in your backfield and a very mobile quarterback as well. So, I'm a little bit concerned here. You look at where Ke'Shawn Cager and Keke Coutee currently goes in drafts, it's not anything crazy. He's going as a 140th overall pick. He's like a 12th round pick. But, if you're going to be shooting for upside in the later rounds, his own teammate, Rashaad White, is there. Uh his former teammate, Chris Rodriguez on Jacksonville, is there. I think Tyler Allgeier is one of the best handcuffs on the Arizona Cardinals in fantasy football right now. There's even names if you scroll down a decent amount that are pretty uh appealing to me, like Emanuel Wilson, sure. We know that the first round pick, Keaontay Ingram, is going to be there. But, in terms of like a handcuff upside, these are just the names that stand out a little bit more and this is just at the running back position, not even to factor in all the nice late round tight ends and wide receivers that go. I think Ke'Shawn Cager and Keke Coutee not worth taking. I'd rather have his teammate, Rashaad White, as of right now where they currently go.
Now, before we keep going, I've got something to tell you because I've teamed up with DraftKings and you're going to want to hear this. Because they just dropped the biggest fantasy football contest in the history of the sport. We are talking about a $20 million best ball prize pool where three different people are going to walk away millionaires this year. Now, look, if you've never played best ball, no worries. Here's what you need to know. You draft your team one time and that's it. No setting lineups, no waiver wire, no Sunday morning panicking. Your top scores automatically count every week. You're basically getting a fun sweat all season long with your team and players without having to lift a finger or do any work after the draft. Now, here's the part you don't want to miss. DraftKings is running a draft one, get one offer right now. All customers enter a lineup into the $20 best ball headliner contest for $25 and get a bonus ticket for a second entry. That basically means you have two shots at your share of $20 and maybe being one of those three people who will become a millionaire. So, all you have to do now is download the DraftKings app, sign up with promo code Sal, and get your lineups in before the season kicks off. In partnership with DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Now, let's talk about Travis Etienne who I mean, round of applause. I mean, seriously, round of applause for Travis Etienne. He got a bag this off season. The salary cap keeps going up, so these veteran running backs in second-year contracts and even third-year contracts, these running backs are getting paid. So, that's very good for Travis Etienne. Got a big deal from the New Orleans Saints. But, in my opinion, for fantasy football purposes, it was a downgrade for him. Like, if anything, it's a downgrade. Some people might say it's a neutral swap. I think it's a downgrade. Because, if you look at Travis Etienne last year when he got Leon Sandcastle, Leon Sandcastle who has been great for running backs the last two years, Bucky Irving in 2024, Travis Etienne last year, Etienne played all 17 games, ran for over 1,100 yards. Not only that, was also activated as a receiver, 36 catches, 292 yards, was seen as the goal line back, right? By Sha Tou in the rookie mixed in a little bit, but still had 13 touchdowns. And Travis Etienne went from being without Leon Sandcastle in 2024, the RB 37, just two touchdowns, nine fantasy points per game, to a borderline RB1, the RB13 in terms of PPR formats, uh 15 points per game, 13 touchdowns. So, all of this is great.
Now, he's going to be leaving Leon Sandcastle, going to the Saints. And Kellen Moore has been a good coach there, but at the end of the day, it's a veteran running back changing teams, there's always risks. And we literally just saw that risk last year. Now, of course, this is just one situation, it's a sample of one. But, if we were to look at this, Bucky Irving, who did he have as his coach in 2024 as a rookie when he was splitting a backfield with Rashad White? Okay, he had uh Leon Sandcastle. He averaged 14 points per game. He was a top 20 running back as a rookie. He was doing this on less than 50% of the snaps, putting up like, what was it? 392 receiving yards, 47 catches, 1,100 rushing yards. So, this guy had like 1,500 total yards or so on less than 50% of the snaps under Liam Cohen. That offense was awesome. Liam Cohen knows how to run a run game. What happens the next year? Buck Irving does get hurt, so that's obviously going to factor into it. He missed a lot of time with injury, but overall the production ended up dipping. Just four total touchdowns last season. Overall the efficiency dipped. That was the biggest piece of this. From 5.4 yards per carry to 3.4. Again, a big piece of this is going to be the injury, but another big piece of this, in my opinion, no doubt about it, in Tampa Bay last year, was the fact that you lost Liam Cohen calling an efficient run game. That's where my issue comes from a little bit. But then you look at this right here. Last year the Saints ranked bottom five in rushing yards per game and rushing efficiency. Now a piece of this is they were trailing in a lot of games, especially earlier in the year before Tyler Shut got hot against some bad teams later in the season. But if you're bottom five in rushing yards per game and rushing efficiency, next to teams like the Cardinals who couldn't run the ball, the Titans who couldn't run the ball until the last month of the season, the Raiders who couldn't run the ball at any point last year, they lost Kolton Miller, their offensive line stunk, their offense stunk, right? That's not going to be all that encouraging heading into this season. And it's also not going to be encouraging because as of right now the backfield still has Alvin Kamara. Alvin Kamara is older. He's definitely not in the prime of his career. There's an argument to be made that this could be his final season. There's a chance that he actually retires before the season. But as of this recording, and we're already now heading into getting close to June, and we're going to get to OTAs and training camps, Alvin Kamara currently plans to play this year, currently plans to play on the Saints. And if that's the case, he's going to be the pass-catching running back. Maybe he's not the early down grinder they gave Travis Etienne a big bag to do that, but Alvin Kamara is getting paid decent as well. If these two running backs are here, maybe it's a split backfield. And if that's the case, if it's a split backfield, how are you taking Travis Etienne with a fourth-round pick? If he's going to be in a split backfield with Alvin Kamara. Now look, if by the time you're watching this or closer to training camp, Alvin Kamara gets cut or he retires, yeah, then it's full steam ahead when your backfield competition is going to be like Kendre Miller for Travis Etienne. But as of this recording, it almost seems like people are expecting that to happen when he's going right here in the fourth round, ahead of names like Breece Hall, crazy to me, ahead of names like Cam Skattebo, David Montgomery, Quinshon Jenkins, even Buck Irving who we've talked about. I just don't want I I don't want Travis Etienne that much as long as Alvin Kamara is there. It's not something that I'm I'm going to get all jumping up and down about. There's also the the the possibility to call out that Tyler Lockett, although he was great to end the season last year against some weaker competition, if he doesn't end up taking that next step or at least show what he did towards the end of last year, and maybe he regresses a little bit or teams have more tape on him, that can really hurt this offense overall, including the pass catchers and the run game.
All right, next up, let's talk about Marvin Harrison Jr. This one might feel a little bit more obvious, but based on where he's currently going in drafts, people are still taking Marvin Harrison relatively high. Look, it's been two straight seasons of fantasy disappointment, and if anything, based on the way last year ended, his situation just got worse. Marvin Harrison in his first two seasons has not been all that great, especially when you consider the pedigree he came out with. 885 receiving yards as a rookie based on his expectations as a top five overall pick, not the greatest. Last year dealt with injuries, did have some decent games, but finished the year as just with 608 receiving yards. More importantly, in his first two years, despite having all these expectations, the wide receiver 39 and the wide receiver 37 in fantasy football. And the reason why his situation just got worse heading into this year, the Cardinals didn't add any serious quarterback. It's still going to be Jacoby Brissett, who is fine, right? He was a garbage time monster last year, but it's not like a big quarterback upgrade is coming. And there's an argument, and a relatively valid one to be made, that Marvin Harrison is the third best pass catching option on his team. Michael Wilson last year broke out for over 1,000 yards. Specifically down the stretch, he was a monster. He was the number one receiver target for for Jacoby Brissett. Obviously, you also have Trey McBride there. Trey McBride, who's coming off of a season as a tight end where he went out there and had 169 targets, number one at the position, set the tight end single season record with 126 catches. Like, McBride is definitely ahead of Marvin Harrison in terms of the pecking order here. So, that's where the concern comes from. The concern comes from that when Marvin Harrison was healthy last year, he was seeing just an 18% target share, which is usually like the third option on an opposing team, behind Michael Wilson and Trey McBride for this exact situation. And in terms of the off season, if anything, the target pie might just shrink a little bit because number three overall in the draft, you saw the Arizona Cardinals take Jeremiah Love. They bulked up their offensive line this year. They brought in Tyler Allgeier. As of this recording, they're trying to bring back on a new contract James Conner as well, restructuring that deal. So, what does this mean? You're having now three running backs, one legit one in Jeremiah Love, come into this backfield on a team that ranked dead last in rushing per game last year. If that increases even a little bit, it's going to mean less pass attempts for Jacoby Brissett. You can see that right here, just 366 attempts for the Cardinals offense last year. A big part of this is they were always trailing in games, so it always led to garbage time. But, now you have some legitimate running backs back there, including Jeremiah Love, who last year in college at Notre Dame, 21 touchdowns, over 1,300 rushing yards on 7 yards per attempt. Oh, yeah, by the way, he could also catch passes and steal targets from these pass catchers. 27 catches on a 10% 10 and 1/2% target share last year at Notre Dame. So, there's a lot of things working against Marvin Harrison specifically. His own target competition, no big quarterback upgrade, maybe a team that if they're I'm not going to say they're going to be a top five rushing team, but if they go from dead last in the NFL to like 24th, that's going to impact the overall targets and pass attempts.
So, to me, Marvin Harrison, it's still kind of surprising that he goes as the 78th overall player. Now, it's not totally shocking. He still has that name value at times, especially last year when he was healthy, he showed some flashes, but there's just more competition now that Michael Wilson has broken out. So, as the 78th overall player, if you take him, is he going to ruin your drafts like he did when he was a second round pick as a rookie? No, but you are giving up on some other guys who go in similar ranges. Like Christian Watson goes in the exact same round as Marvin Harrison. How are you taking Marvin Harrison over Christian Watson right now? I don't know. Guys who go after Marvin Harrison, his own teammate Michael Wilson, guys like Jordan Addison and Quentin Johnston, rookies who could easily break out this year, guys across different positions. Even guys like Jayden Reed who might take a step forward, or Jakobi Meyers who could be the Jaguars number one receiver. Marvin Harrison is going rounds before these guys, and that just feels wrong.

Next up, let's talk about Travis Hunter. And there's like actually an argument to be made that Travis Hunter is getting so much negative pub- publicity. There we go. This off-season, that maybe he's actually like a late-round sleeper. But I just can't see it happening. I I just don't at this point. There's way too much competition, and a lot has changed. Let's get into it.
Okay, first off, as a rookie, Travis Hunter, you probably know the deal by now, but if not, he was playing cornerback primarily, mostly cornerback, and then he started playing some wide receiver snaps. Those started to build as the season went on before his injury. He was averaging 6.4 targets per game. Honestly, not bad for a rookie. Second overall pick, so you would expect for more, but not bad for a rookie who's playing half or the majority of his snaps at the uh the cornerback position. He ended up getting 18% target share as a rookie. Okay, that's solid based on the information we just gave you. But what really is impressive is last year Travis Hunter started to break out, right? This was the game before he got injured. You could see he only had four catches for 15 yards, but in that game, if you were paying attention and you were watching our videos week to week, you would know that he had seven targets, the most he had on the season to that point. You know that he ran the highest percentage of routes with the team that week, so he was playing more and more wide receiver. And then you would also know that the following week, it might have been like a Thursday night football game or something, but against the Rams who were dominating the Jaguars, Travis Hunter had a big game. Eight catches, 101 yards, a touchdown, 14 targets in this game. And then I believe Jacksonville was like going into the bye week, but unfortunately, at practice, he ended up having a season-ending knee injury. Specifically, that injury was to repair an isolated lateral collateral ligament. There you go, an LCL. Say that 10 times fast. I barely was able to say it one time. But he was expected to return to football within 6 months. So, his week one status is going to be completely fine.
But the problem for him is that two things. First off, he's still playing, based on all the reports, and we'll get into those. He's still playing a lot of cornerback. He's going to play wide receiver, but a lot of cornerback. And now he has way more competition than he did last year. One of those pieces of competition was traded for around the trade deadline in Zay Jones, right? They exchanged a fourth and a sixth round pick. They went and got Zay Jones for Trevor Lawrence, and it paid off massively because in his seven starts as a full-time starter with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Zay Jones averaged 13 fantasy points per game, seven and a half targets per game, and led the team with a 24% target share. Okay, so Zay Jones is out there. We know Brian Thomas is out there who had a down year, but we still have that upside especially as an outside receiver, but then also Parker Washington broke out last year. Specifically, his final nine games of the season, Parker Washington looked like the best receiver on this team. 14.9 fantasy points per game, over 70 receiving yards per game. He was returning uh I think punts or kickoffs. I think they were punts for touchdowns as well on special teams. He was a big piece of this offense, and somebody similar to Zay Jones that Trevor Lawrence and Liam Coen started to trust a lot more in the passing attack and they got comfortable with. So, when you look at this wide receiver room, all of a sudden, Zay Jones based on the contract that they gave him and traded for him two separate picks, a fourth and a sixth rounder, and how he produced last year, he's definitely going to be on this team. Coaches love him. He's reliable. He doesn't drop the ball. He catches the ball in the middle of the field where a lot of Liam Coen's offense is operating. Same exact things for Parker Washington who also proved last year he can win on the outside and in special teams for what that's worth. And Brian Thomas was not traded as it was potentially rumored this off season around free agency and the draft. Instead, Brian Thomas is on this team heading into year three for a potential year three bounce back. I think he's set up well for that. So, you add all this stuff up. They also have a decent pass-catching tight end in Brenton Strange out of Penn State. Also, Parker Washington's out of Penn State, so that's interesting. Just some Penn Staters. Intrusive thoughts, sorry. But you start adding all this up, and even if Travis Hunter was playing a decent amount of wide receiver, he has competition. I think he's an unbelievable athlete. I think he's still the best wide receiver on this team if he actually got to play the position, but unfortunately, he's not playing the position fully. Because Liam Coen has already come out and said the plan has not changed at all since last year. He's going to play both sides of the ball just as we drafted him to do. Now, there was some chatter that oh my god, people took some quotes out of context. Oh my god, he's only going to play cornerback. Liam Coen, the coach, came out and said this off season no, he's going to play both. You can see Matt Harmon uh basically reiterates that and says as possible is the key for reference here as we'll see what the split will look like. But again, no one in the case from the team that Travis Hunter won't be playing wide receiver this season, and obviously that makes sense.
So, overall, Travis Hunter is in a similar situation to last year. He's going to play cornerback, he's going to play wide receiver. But, unlike last year, Jacksonville switched to Travis Hunter more because they didn't have as many bodies at the wide receiver position. They were giving Travis Hunter more snaps before his injury because Parker Washington hadn't broken out yet. They haven't traded for Zay Jones yet. The guys on their team like Brian Thomas were struggling. Brexton Berrios was injured, right? So, this entire team, they had no wide receivers. They had enough cornerback depth to say Travis Hunter, come away from cornerback and play more wide receiver. But, now they have way more wide receiver depth. I don't see them going back to Travis Hunter all that much barring some injuries this year, and nowhere near enough for you to be taking Travis Hunter where he currently goes in drafts 157th overall. Now, I get it. This is not an expensive pick. In your 12-team drafts, this is like a 13th-round pick. But, just at the wide receiver position alone, guys who go next to Travis Hunter, Stefon Diggs, who as of this recording is unsigned, I'll take him. I don't know where he's going to end up this year, but I'll take Stefon Diggs. If it's the Raiders, who knows where he ends up going overall. I want Stefon Diggs in that situation. Across other positions, there's some nice late-round tight ends and running backs here as well. Uh guys like Omar Cooper, right? A rookie who could break out with the Jets as a first-round pick is on this list. Xavier Worthy is down here. Matthew Golden is down here going like one to one and a half rounds ahead of um uh Travis Hunter. Give me Matthew Golden all day long in that situation. Same thing for guys like a Josh Dobbs or Romeo Dobbs, who signed a massive contract or a strong contract nearly 20 million a year with the Patriots this offseason.
So, these have been five players that you just let your idiot league mates draft instead. You want to avoid them. But, if you want to see the seven players, the complete opposite video, the seven players that I'd bet my personal house on this year in fantasy, you can check out that video right here. This was our most viewed video last year, maybe the most important video that will be this offseason. Make sure you watch this one right here.
