4 Wide Receivers that will break your heart this fantasy season

These guys could ruin your draft.

Hey!

Here are 4 wide receivers I’m not drafting this year - each one has major red flags that outweigh the upside in my opinion.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Hewas great out of the slot last season, but he’s being moved outside now that Cooper Kupp is in town.

JSN already struggled on the outside last year, and now he has a new offensive coordinator and QB.

That’s a lot of change for a player being taken as a breakout candidate…

Terry McLaurin

He scored 13 touchdowns last year - 8 more than any other season in his career - and that spike in TDs covered up a pretty average usage profile.

He ranked just 30th in target share and turns 30 years old this season…

Zay Flowers

He finished as the WR32 last year even with Lamar Jackson throwing for 4200 yards and 41 touchdowns.

Now he’ll deal with similar target competition - plus DeAndre Hopkins was added to the mix. Not great…

Jerry Jeudy

He ranked 70th among WRs in points last year and has just one career Top 20 finish. He now enters the season with arguably the worst QB room in the league. I’m out…

Bottom line: These WRs are being drafted on hope - not production. There are safer bets at every one of their ADPs…
