FantasyPros - 11 Fantasy Football BUSTS To Avoid | Overvalued Players & Early-Round Draft Landmines (Ep. 2035)

Summer’s here, contracts say we’ve got rain for a few parades, and today we’re breaking down the 11 most overvalued players; I’m Seth Wilcox, wedding countdown at about ten days, and the Sunday crew’s back to stir it up.

Bit under the weather and itching for that new Star Wars flick, but I’m here for the reaches and the landmines.

Premium fades first—Boggs, you’re cold on Malik Nabers at WR9 ECR despite the hype; why the pause?

I love the player, but an ACL and a follow-up procedure at that price is a gamble I don’t need, so I’ll wait for a clean bill before betting my WR1 slot.

I get the medical red flags, but the target vacuum and big-play profile keep me in at late-second; Tara, you in or out at cost?

Slight lean out; the talent’s obvious, but with so many top guys carrying their own questions, his rank feels more default than conviction.

Tara, your first big-name fade is CeeDee Lamb; what caps the upside?

The volume’s fine, but production lagged with target competition, so I see more WR8 to WR12 outcomes while he’s priced above that range.

Between St. Brown, Jefferson, and Lamb at the one-two turn, where do you land, Boggs?

St. Brown is the steady pick for me; Lamb sits where he does because others behind him have bigger question marks, and touchdowns likely decide his ceiling.

Your early RB fade is Kenneth Walker after the move—sell us on the bear case.

He’s dynamic, but the workload ceiling and durability history say spike starts could be followed by late-season throttling, so RB11 pricing is rich for me and I’d only stash Emmett Johnson as a handcuff.

Tara, you flagged Jeremiah Love in Arizona as risky value; what’s the trap?

The ADP bakes in a Gentry-style roller coaster on a brutal schedule with a potential rookie QB switch, so I’d rather chase steadier workloads.

His price is fine now but probably climbs on preseason buzz; Boggs, are you matching the market?

I’m below it for now; he should catch more passes than last year’s rookie case, but I’ll only bite if he drifts a round.

Mid-round traps next—Tara, you’ve been out on Bucky Irving for a while; what pushes you there?

Crowded backfield with Gainwell siphoning receiving work and Tucker poaching short yardage under Zach Robinson, plus the murky summer-to-fall return puts him closer to low-end RB2 than the tag suggests.

Late-year inefficiency and Gainwell’s pass-game chops back that up, so I’m pivoting to the steadier red-zone and receiving roles in that range.

My trap is Tuton; I expect him to lead between the 20s, but Rodriguez can own the goal line and LaQuint Allen can soak up passing downs, so I prefer Skataboo, Judkins, or Price.

I’m pro-Tuton at RB3 pricing because his red-zone efficiency and targeted usage were encouraging, though third-down work is the hinge.

Tara, you’re also fading DJ Moore in Buffalo; what’s the concern?

Too many receivers and a quarterback who doesn’t need heavy weekly volume means feast-or-famine weeks, and the discount isn’t sweet enough for that ride.

I’m higher; he’s the best wideout in that room and worth a WR3 swing even if the pecking order is murky.

Boggs, you’re out on Christian Watson at cost; make the case.

He’s explosive but perpetually banged up and streaky, and with Reed, a healthy tight end group, and young help arriving, I won’t pay starter pricing for volatility.

I’m well below consensus too; Tara, how are you playing it?

I’m neutral at price but often pivot to safer season-long volume like Quentin Johnston and I’ll toss late darts at Matthew Golden.

QB landmines—Boggs, you singled out Jackson Dart inside the top 10; what’s the risk?

If any top-10 QB misses, it’s likely him: he invites contact, his pass-catching room is thin pending health, and that’s a lot of downside versus peers.

My bigger worry is Matt Nagy guiding a still-developing passer, which points to choppy week-to-week results that his ADP doesn’t forgive.

Tight end landmines—Boggs, what’s your approach?

If I miss my top seven (McBride, Bowers, Loveland, Kraft, Warren, Fant, Pitts), I skip the next pocket and stream; LaPorta’s the one I’m passing at cost because of the injury profile and I prefer Likely later.

Same cutoff for me, and I’m a full fade on Dalton Kincaid given injuries, Dawson Knox’s role, and possible load management in a crowded Bills room.
