4 Must Avoid Players in Your Fantasy Drafts

Every year there are players who look like great picks on paper, until they don’t deliver.

Whether it’s a new system, fading efficiency, or bad surrounding talent - these are the landmines you have to avoid:

#4 Breece Hall

The Jets have been open about using a 3-man committee - with rookie Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis both expected to be involved.

Then there’s Justin Fields. Mobile QBs tend to hurt pass-catching RBs because they lead to fewer dump-offs, more QB scrambles, and fewer red zone carries for the RB…

#3 James Cook

Cook scored 18 touchdowns last season - but don’t count on that again.

He finished outside the Top 25 RBs in targets and total touches. And Josh Allen still remains a red zone vulture…

#2 Alvin Kamara

Kamara saw the most touches of his career last season and his efficiency dropped.

He turns 30 this year. And he now enters a new system under Kellen Moore - an OC who historically doesn’t prioritize RBs in the pass game.

Throw in a below average O-Line and a shaky QB situation and Kamara is a stay away at his current price…

Sam LaPorta

LaPorta was a TE3 in 2023 - and people are still drafting him like he’ll repeat that.

But in 2024? He slipped to TE8 and become less of a priority in the offense. And now he loses OC Ben Johnson, the architect of much of LaPorta’s early success…

Bottom Line:

Breece Hall, James Cook, Alvin Kamara, and Sam LaPorta all come with red flags - and they’re being drafted as if nothing has changed…
