As you approach your fantasy draft, you need to know the players to target.

0:03.3

But it's equally as important to be crossing players off your board.

0:06.5

These players are being overvalued and overhyped in 2023.

0:10.1

And to be completely honest with you, you need to avoid them.

0:13.1

Now, let's start with this running back, who I was high on at one point, but no longer am.

0:16.8

And that would be Isaiah Pacheco.

0:18.2

And look, there's some new red flags that we have to discuss, but check this out.

0:21.5

Pacheco now goes in round six. I liked him when he was in round seven and even sometimes fell into round eight.

0:27.0

But in round six, he's going ahead of guys like Tyler Lockett and Deontay Johnson, as you can see on the screen.

And even worse, he had just 127 routes run last year. That breaks down to about seven and a half per game,

0:55.1

the second fewest of any back with over 150 carries. Now there's two reasons for this lack of usage.

1:00.7

Let's start with the first one. Jerrick McKinnon is on the team and a better pass catcher.

1:04.2

As you can see here, he is an elite running back in terms of receiving. He ranked fourth amongst

1:08.2

all backs in yards per reception and eighth in yards per route run. And McKinnon was top 10 in receiving usage, seventh in running back routes, and

1:14.9

ninth in RB targets earned. And the chiefs decided to bring him back. As compared to a previous

1:19.3

video that I had, he was not yet re-signed with the team, but on May 1, 23, he resigned for the team.
