Summary
Jamey Eisenberg and Dave Richard break down four players who are going way too early in 2025 fantasy football drafts based on our ADP data. Are fantasy managers overvaluing name value or past production? The guys discuss why Lamar Jackson (1:00), George Kittle (2:10), Alvin Kamara (4:53), and Omarion Hampton (7:52) may not be worth the early-round price tag. Don’t get caught reaching—this episode could save your draft!
