Here are some players that I don’t like in 2025. Some could be busts, while others seem overvalued with their current price tag (consensus ranking being too high).

It’s time for everyone’s favorite fantasy football game show where drafters try for big time players and try to avoid the whammy. It’s time to Press Your Luck! Below are the intro and extended theme songs.

Bijan Robinson
This isn’t about Bijan as much as it’s about his cost and the rest of the Falcons. Michael Penix is coming off an injury and Atlanta brought in Tua to compete for the job. Tua has had his own lengthy injury history. In addition, the Falcons’ offensive line isn’t the best or deepest group out there. Any injuries at QB or the line could derail this offense. The loss of backup
QB Kirk Cousins will hit harder than some realize, imo. Bijan is still awesome, but with a consensus ranking of RB 1, I’d rather pick someone else early given my concerns with the Falcons’ offense in 2026.

Jonathan Taylor
JT is pretty much the same song but different dance that I explained with Bijan. Taylor is still awesome, but his success hinges on Daniel Jones’s health. Without Jones, the Colts offense takes a hit. Defenses will be able to key on Taylor and force backup QB, Riley Leonard, to beat them,. If Leonard can’t, that hurts the TD count for Taylor. Taylor’s current consensus ranking at RB 7 is a little higher than I’d prefer. I don’t think he’s a bust, but I’d rather pick someone else in a better situation at that price.

Devon Achane
The Dolphins’ offense is a major work in progress. They’re in the middle of a total rebuild. Their new starting QB is Malik Willis. Maybe Willis will work out, but I’m not optimistic. I thought Miami overpaid for him. In addition, Willis will be working behind a shaky offensive line. The departures of electric playmakers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle loom large. There’s a lot of moving parts in Miami and I think that could spell trouble for Achane. With a current consensus ranking at RB 7, I want no part of Achane or the Dolphins’ offense in 2026.

Travis Etienne Jr.
Well, I was one year early on Etienne leaving Jacksonville. I thought they were going to trade him last year. Instead, they kept him, and Etienne rewarded them with a great year. Now he joins New Orleans. The Saints are rebuilding. They’re improving on offense. I guess it ultimately comes down to if you believe in Tyler Shough taking a step forward. He had a hard time staying healthy in college. If he gets hurt, the Saints’ offense probably struggles under backups, Spencer Rattler or Zach Wilson.

Bottom line- It’s just not the best situation for me to want to invest in. Etienne’s current consensus ranking is RB 18. That’s too rich for my blood. Who dat want to draft Travis Etienne in 2026 at his current draft price? Not Mark Ringo.

Jaylen Warren
Warren is a solid player. With Aaron Rodgers in his farewell tour, he’ll probably be the recipient of a lot of checkdowns. That always helps. However, there’s not much upside here. Quick, how many games did Warren go over 100 yards rushing last season? Two! That’s it. And now Rico Dowdle is aboard. Dowdle is bigger and a threat to vulture TDs when the Steelers are in the red zone. In addition, the Bengals went out and invested a lot of money in their defensive line. That’s never good when a team who have to play twice improves dramatically on defense.

Bottom line- Warren’s not terribly expensive at RB 27, but I just don’t think there’s much upside here, especially with a Steelers offensive line that has struggled in the past.

Zach Charbonnet
Charbonnet isn’t a bust in a traditional sense of having a high ADP, but rather in this sense. He shouldn’t be drafted at all, imo Charbonnet is coming off major reconstructive knee surgery. His surgery wasn’t until February 2026. That’s not enough time. Forget about it. He’s a non-factor this year.
