Buyer Beware: Fantasy Football Players You Need to Avoid in Drafts

With the annual Hall of Fame Game now in the rearview, the 2019 NFL preseason is officially underway. Over the next month, teams will engage in exhibition contests, hold positional battles and otherwise prepare their rosters for the meaningful games to come in September.

Meanwhile, fantasy football enthusiasts will also prepare their rosters for the coming season. While there are now several enjoyable formats for selecting rosters in season-long leagues, drafting remains the standard.

What goes into a successful draft strategy? Well, you want to pick players who are going to produce points, obviously. But perhaps more importantly, you want to avoid players who will leave you wanting on a weekly basis.
