Do Not Take These 4 Players in Fantasy

It's that time of year again when I attempt to give everyone fantasy advice and explain why I know more than all of you who read this and why you should take my advice. Or maybe I’m tricking all of you so I can win my fantasy leagues! You'll never know!

Anyway, here are four players I’m not taking in fantasy.

Rhamondre Stevenson:

Before anyone yells at their screen and asks “Why on earth are you not taking the Patriot's best running back from last season,” just know that I accidentally auto-drafted him in one of my fantasy leagues. So if I’m right and he sucks, I must suffer with you.

I wouldn’t take Stevenson because the Patriots signed Ezekiel Elliott. This will remove Stevenson’s goal-line work and some of his receiving opportunities. It also doesn’t help that the Patriots backfield is as crowded as Taylor Swift concerts, and any Bill Belichick running back is just a fumble away from the bench at any time. So, in summary, make sure you have players queued up so you don’t accidentally auto-draft Stevenson.

Jonathan Taylor:

Is he even going to play this year? Will Colts owner Jim Irsay apologize to Taylor for trying to pay $20 million to help a Killer Whale but not him? Is Taylor hurt?

This one is self-explanatory!

Dak Prescott

In previous years, Prescott has been a reliable fantasy quarterback. Although there have been times when we believed he might be a reliable top-five selection, those days now appear to be behind us. Prescott tied the league for the most interceptions last year even while missing five games. Since playing in every game in his first four seasons, Prescott has been hurt and missed games in two of the last three? Also, why would I take Prescott early when I could take Trey Lance later in the draft? Or I could wait and take Kirk Cousins… THE BETTER QUARTERBACK!

Gabe Davis

This guy is a playoff warrior and nothing else. Having him on my team last year was so frustrating. He was as inconsistent as the officials week to week. In my league's playoffs, he only put up 5.6 points, and I ended up losing by less than 5 points. I AM NEVER DRAFTING HIM AGAIN. I would much rather have guys like Jahan Dotson or Brandon Aiyuk. Just because Davis had those playoff games in 2021 where he looked like a good player doesn’t mean I should take him in the seventh round in fantasy.

However, if I am playing any of you in fantasy, ignore all of this and draft these players!
