Welcome Back to Drop Army Fantasy!

Every fantasy football season has players that are drafted way too early simply by the merit of their name recognition. But sharp drafters know how to identify and avoid these players and keep their rosters in top condition. Read on for 5 overvalued big name players.

5. Jared Goff (DET), ADP 117, QB14

Goff’s finish as the fantasy QB6 last year was built on accurate passing and 37 touchdowns. But with a new offensive coordinator, there's no telling if Detroit will be as aggressive in the passing game. And without any rushing chops to help raise his floor, he’s much more prone to low-output performances. So, I expect his fantasy value to take another knock this season.

4. Rashod Bateman (BAL), ADP 110, WR56

It's tempting to draft a player who was 7th in yards per catch. And Baltimore’s offensive outlook is very strong. But, the Ravens have at least two players who will command more targets in an offense built on the running game. Derrick Henry needs his share, and Lamar himself had the 3rd-most carries in the league last season. Meanwhile Bateman logged 6 games with fewer than 6 PPR points. So, there's not enough consistency to roster him.

3. Marvin Harrison Jr. (ARI), ADP 27, WR15

Although his rookie season was pretty decent on balance, Harrison did go through his share of peaks and valleys. He had 7 weeks as the WR56 or worse in PPR formats, which is just unacceptable for a guy drafted in the late first round last summer. This year, his price tag is slightly more palatable, but still too high considering his situation has changed very little, and Kyler Murray played at nearly his ceiling in 2024. Overall, I’m not ready to take Harrison this high based on the weekly volatility.

2. Dallas Goedert (PHI), ADP 141.5, TE15

Philadelphia’s brass clearly likes Goedert, as the two sides recently ironed out his contract. But the team passes at the NFL’s lowest rate, and even an optimistic read says Goedert is at least 4th on the team in the pecking order for touches. The offense is just too crowded to expect him to produce at a high level. A healthy Goedert might be able to overcome these red flags, but it’s unlikely we get him through the season. He missed 7 games last year alone. So, I’m leaving him on the draft board.
