If you're drafting a fantasy team this year, listen up.

Because if you draft one of the six players in this video,

you might regret it before week two even begins. Because these aren't bad players necessarily, but they're bad picks at the price point you're currently having to pay for them. And today we'll break down exactly who these players are and why you need to avoid them. And if you're not familiar, I'm Salvatry. I've helped people for nearly eight years win their fantasy leagues and we're going to do the same for you in this video.

And let's kick things off with Tony Pollard, who fits that description that I mentioned earlier perfectly of this is not somebody I would consider a bad player. He had a quite decent year and a terrible offense last year, but based on what you have to pay for him this year in fantasy drafts, it's a bad pay. Because it's not like Tony Pollard was extremely efficient last year.

Early on in the season, he had success breaking tackles, but overall, he just produced because

he got volume.

As you can see right here, Pollard finished as a top 24 running back yet again last year.

On the Titans, he had 12.5 fantasy points per game.

Okay, that's decent, right?

You scroll down, though, and it was a lot of it had to do with this volume. He had 260 carries. It was eighth most

in the NFL. When you combined his targets overall, he had almost 315 opportunities,

almost 300 touches or over 300 touches when you factor in his reception. So a massive workload.

He was top 10 in workload last year. And that workload is easily seen right here based on his

usage. He had the ninth highest snap share at 69%. His opportunity share, meaning the amount of targets and carries he had in his

backfield, the percentage of those, ninth highest at 73%. This is a very good number, but all of this

ended up leading to a guy who scored 12.5 fantasy points per game, was barely a top 24 running back.

Even though he had that insane volume he was just

because he wasn't efficient and naturally as you see these bigger workloads you won't be as

efficient but he was way less than average right here just four yards per carry 40 second in the

NFL 4.4 yards per touch was also 42nd in the NFL part of this has to do with the bad

offense that he played in of course right if your offensive line isn't good if your passing isn't good, they can load up on the box. That's true. But when we look at what he did individually, his yards created per touch, that ranked 46. So that's not great. He also led all running backs with eight drops last year. And I told you that he had like over 300 touches and he only had 12.5 fantasy points per game. Well, check out this step. Pollard had the second lowest points per game of any running back with at least 275 total touches last year. The only guy worse than him was Najee Harris. And meanwhile, the guy that he shared a backfield with last year for only a handful of games because Tajay Spears was hurt, was Tadj Spears, who was way more efficient, had a top 10 yards per touch last year for the second straight season, a higher juke rate, way fewer drops, and more explosive players, and finally at the end of last season, when Tajay Spears, not only did he battle, Matt, battle multiple lower body injuries, he also had a concussion. He came back from weeks 15 to 17 before the season ended. And in those three weeks, you can see right here on RotoViz, this in column on the left, in those three games, he averaged over 20 fantasy points per game. With his rushing and receiving yards, he averaged over 85 total yards per game. 20 fantasy points per game was a top five running back during that time, believe it or not, while playing just 61% of the snaps. Now, this is a guy who, if he's going to be healthy to enter this year, which it seems like he is,

it's probably going to be a near 50-50 backfield split. Because that's exactly what this team wanted to do all last. Offseason, but Tajay Spears got hurt. And now this offseason, Brian Callahan, the head coach is already saying, on Tony Pollard and Tajay Spears, I think in a perfect world, if it's a healthier division of labor,
