Fantasy Football: Players to Avoid in 2026 Drafts

As fantasy football drafts approach, players are often valued based on past performance rather than future potential, leading to overvaluations. This article highlights five players whose current draft prices may not reflect the risks associated with their upcoming seasons.

Rashee Rice of the Kansas City Chiefs is facing uncertainty due to changes in the offensive coaching staff and his history of injuries, which could impact his role and production. Similarly, Giants running back Eric Skattebo, who showed promise last season, may struggle for consistent opportunities in a new coaching regime that favors running back committees.

Davante Adams of the Los Angeles Rams, while historically a top receiver, is showing signs of decline as he ages, and his touchdown production may not be sustainable. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's rushing volume has decreased, and the team's recent changes could affect his performance. Lastly, TreVeyon Henderson of the New England Patriots faces competition in a backfield that may limit his fantasy value, despite his potential to improve.
