| 0:00.0 | If you're watching this video and you're in a fantasy football league, you just made a great choice because today we are breaking down the five players that you need to avoid in your fantasy drafts and let your idiot league maids draft instead. If you're not familiar, I'm Salvatri. I've helped over 10,000 people win their fantasy leagues alone the last couple of seasons and I plan to do the same for you with this video. And let's start off the back with Joe Burrow. |
| 0:18.2 | Yes, a controversial one, because obviously Joe Burrow is a fantastic quarterback, |
| 0:21.9 | the number one overall pick back in 2020. |
| 0:24.3 | He's amazing. start off the back with Joe Burrow. Yes, a controversial one because obviously Joe Burrow is a |
| 0:20.8 | fantastic quarterback, the number one overall pick back in 2020. He's amazing. We know what he did in 2024 when he finishes a top five fantasy quarterback when Jamar Chase won the triple crown. We know how good this Bengals offense is when Joe Burrow was healthy. Now that Joe Burrow being healthy is a pretty key piece of this because he rarely stays fully healthy, including last year. But like usual, when he's actually healthy, he's been good. In the six games last year, |
| 0:40.6 | down the stretch when he was healthy from week 13 on, he's averaging 22 and a half fantasy points per game. He looks fantastic out there throwing 37 times per game. The Bengals haven't had a defense for two seasons. That's a big part of it on 270 passing yards per game. All of these basically ranked like borderline top 10, but the issue for Joe Burrow, would it has been in the past and always has been, as he's not a mobile quarterback. If you watch football at all, you know this, and that hurts in fantasy football. He's known for doing things like this in 2024 when he led the NFL in passing yards. He led the NFL in air yards. He led the NFL in pass attempts with 38.4 per game. |
| 1:11.7 | He was doing very similar things down the stretch last year. That's exactly what Joe Burrow is known for. He's not known for the rushing upside. He's not a mobile quarterback. If we pull it up here on player profiler, he's not going to give you anything on the ground. If you look at this right here, I mean, the guy had 0.35 red zone carries per game, just one scramble per game last year. |
| 1:29.6 | And overall, you're looking at a guy who saw 2.4 carries per game. And some of these are going to be your kneel downs. I mean, a good amount of these are going to be factored in as kneel downs or potentially just avoiding a sack and taking a negative 3-yard loss out of bounds. Something along those lines. But if we look at his past few seasons here, 2024 of the year, he was actually able to stay healthy and was dominant out there, even in this season when he's leading the NFL in passing yards, right? When he's going out there and throwing 43 touchdowns. Heck, he even had 200 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground, so 45 total touchdowns. Even in that season, despite it being an unreal season, he finished as the quarterback three. Two other quarterbacks were still ahead of him. |
| 2:03.6 | And the reason why that's very important, 45 total touchdowns, even in that season, despite it being an unreal season, he finished as the quarterback three. |
| 2:01.8 | Two other quarterbacks were still ahead of him. And the reason why that's very important, and he's in this video right now as somebody that you have to let your idiot league made draft instead, is because Joe Burrow is going as the third quarterback off the board. He had a historic year in 2024, and he finishes the third quarterback. So if you're drafting Joe Burrow, where he currently goes |
| 2:17.7 | in round three, you need him to have another historic year just for him to like pay off the price, not even beat it. And if he was to happen to have a season like he has two of the last three years where he had 15 points per game, not the greatest, 17 points per game, a little bit better, but still not the greatest, a borderline top 10 quarterback, he's busting for you. You have to take him relatively early in drafts. You can see right here he goes as the quarterback |
| 2:36.7 | three behind Josh Allen, Lamar. but still not the greatest, a borderline top 10 quarterback, he's busting for you. You have to take him relatively early in drafts. |
| 2:35.5 | You can see right here he goes as the quarterback three behind Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson. He's going as the 32nd overall player right now in early ADP. What does that mean? It means that Joe Burrow is a third round pick in fantasy drafts. To me, that is absolutely crazy. I can't remember the last time that I selected a quarterback who is not mobile in like the third round or higher. |
| 2:52.7 | No, it's always been the Josh Allen's, the Lamar Jackson. absolutely crazy. I can't remember the last time that I selected a quarterback who is not mobile in |
| 2:51.3 | like the third round or higher. No, it's always been the Josh Allen's, the Lamar Jackson's, the Patrick Mahomes, who has a little bit or at least a decent amount of mobility. And the problem would I have with taking Joe Burrow in the third round and as the third quarterback off the board, it has nothing to do with his talent level or his offense or his playmakers. We know those are all good and his defense will potentially still be bad. I mean, they've added some pieces, |
| 3:08.9 | so maybe you're hoping that they'll |
| 3:10.1 | be a little bit better, but they've also lost a lot of pieces, i.e. Trey Hendrickson. But if you look at |
| 3:13.4 | this, you can see that right here, he's going 32nd overall. Jane and Daniels is going 49th overall, A round and a half later. |
| 3:19.0 | You scroll down, guys like Jalen Hertz are currently going 32 picks, three rounds after Joe Burrow. |
| 3:24.3 | You can say what you want about Jalen Hertz and how he st picks, three rounds after Joe Burrow. |
| 3:24.3 | You could say what you want about Jalen Hertz and how he stunk last year and whatever in the offense and all that. Jalen Hertz three rounds later for his rushing upside. Jaden Daniels is almost two rounds later for his rushing upside. The guy was basically an MVP candidate as a rookie when he was healthy Jaden Daniels. Just give me those guys instead. Because if a guy like Jalen Hertz who goes three rounds after Joe Burrow, |
| 3:58.7 | you could say what you want about him, but if he's just still going out there and starting all the games and finding the end zone, he's going to put up. Even in last year, a bad season, he had 19.1 fantasy points per game, more than Joe Burrow has had in two of his last three seasons. A top 10 quarterback basically every single year, the floor for Jalen Hertz, thanks to his rushing upside of last year 421 yards, |
