Keywords
Travis Etienne
Running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Known for his efficiency and productivity, he had a breakout season in 2023, finishing as the RB3.
Tua Tagovailoa
Quarterback for the Miami Dolphins. Despite his impressive passing yards and touchdowns, his inconsistency and lack of rushing production make him a risky fantasy asset.
Travis Kelce
Tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. A dominant force in fantasy football for years, his age and declining production make him a less attractive pick at his current ADP.
Amari Cooper
Wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns. Known for his big-play ability, his inconsistency and the Browns' uncertain offensive direction make him a risky fantasy pick.
T. Higgins
Wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals. A talented receiver, his potential for injury due to contract negotiations makes him a risky fantasy pick.
Mike Evans
Wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Known for his size, red zone dominance, and consistency, he has been a top-25 fantasy receiver for a decade.
Tank Dell
Rookie wide receiver for the Houston Texans. A highly-touted prospect, his potential for success is dependent on his role in the Texans' offense, which features other talented receivers.
Stefan Diggs
Wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills. A top-tier fantasy receiver, he was recently traded to the Houston Texans, adding another dimension to their offense.
Nico Collins
Wide receiver for the Houston Texans. A promising young receiver, he is competing for targets with Stefan Diggs and Tank Dell.
Q&A
What are some of the key factors to consider when choosing players to avoid in fantasy drafts?
Cost, value, potential for inconsistency, and the player's role in their team's offense are all important factors to consider when making decisions about which players to avoid.
How does the "Wheel of Fantasy" game work?
The hosts spin a wheel with player names and discuss their potential for the upcoming season. They use the game to provide insights and predictions about the players' fantasy value.
What are some of the potential risks associated with drafting Travis Etienne?
While Etienne had a breakout season in 2023, there are concerns about his ability to repeat that performance. The Jaguars' offense could change, and the emergence of Tank Bigsby could limit Etienne's touches.
How does Mike Evans's age and style of play affect his fantasy value?
Evans has been remarkably consistent throughout his career, but his age and size could eventually lead to a decline. However, his strong chemistry with Baker Mayfield and his red zone dominance suggest he remains a valuable fantasy asset.
What are the challenges and opportunities for Tank Dell in the Texans' offense?
Dell has the potential to be a top-30 wide receiver, but he faces competition for targets from Stefan Diggs and Nico Collins. The Texans' offense could be a high-scoring unit, but Dell's role and production are uncertain.
