If you want to ruin your fantasy football draft before the season even starts, the players in this video will do just that.

0:06.0

Today we are going round by round, breaking down 10 players who are going way too early, and it's a mistake where they're being drafted because of their situation role and upside.

0:14.3

Now let's get into it. We have to start, of course, in round one, and let me just get this out of the way right now. You're seeing a bunch of round one players on the screen, C.D. Lamb, I'm Mara St. Brown, Pooka Nukuwa. Nobody in round one is necessarily a tank

pick. Like, if you pick that player, you're going to lose your league. But by definition, if there is

0:30.6

going to be a best player in each round or a handful of guys who look like the best. There's also going to be guys in each round, including round one who don't look as good. And one of those players who I'm going to be calling out here is

0:41.0

the ninth overall pick as of right now in fantasy drafts is Malik Neighbors who look. This guy was

0:46.0

electric last season. If you look at the numbers he put up, it was a historic rookie year. The most

0:51.1

receptions ever by a rookie wide receiver with 109, the second most ever by a rookie

0:55.8

in general, only behind Brock Bowers. A hundred and seventy targets is insane, 1,200 receiving yards.

1:01.4

I mean, he was going out there and he was producing like a first round fantasy receiver that he

1:06.3

was in dominating, looking better than Marvin Harrison, looking better or equally as good as Brian

1:10.7

Thomas. He was doing it with bad quarterback play as well. But now that quarterback

1:14.1

play of Tommy DeVito and Daniel Jones and Drew Locke and all these guys has gone and it's been

1:18.9

upgraded. Now, not like anything significant, but Russell Wilson, James Winston, some veteran

1:23.4

presence, a first round pick that the Giants traded up for, so they believe in in Jackson Dart as well. So there's no doubt about it that the baseline and maybe even the ceiling at the

1:31.3

quarterback position has improved this year, but it's not like it's gone from being a bottom five

1:35.8

quarterback room to a top five room. It's probably not even going to be an average quarterback

1:39.6

room. It still looks like a below average unit. But I will grant you that last year this team ranked bottom three in yards per play and there's a decent chance that they could at least increase that

1:47.7

to bottom 10, which should lift up the whole offense's efficiency, including Malik neighbors.

1:52.3

But my worry is that this offensive line, like if you're having Russell Wilson back there and even

1:56.7

a rookie in Jackson dart, like the offensive line has to be good. And right now, Russell Wilson

2:00.9

the reason wise, because he's not as mobile anymore, they ranked 28th in the NFL last year.
