Avoid These 10 Fantasy Football Players at All Costs in 2025

Which players are YOU NEVER drafting again?!

I think Taylor shouldn’t be taken early but if you can get him at good value I think he’s a solid play as an RB2. I had Bijan, Taylor, and Bucky this year and it’s been a good combo

[@bryantburns3664]

Nice combo

[@carsonnemoto5686]

You got yourself some Bucky.

Great list plus I’d add the following: Samuel for sure, DJ Metcalf, K Walker, D Swift, Pacheco, C Watson, J Love, any patriot WR, R Stevenson, Mixon

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

You got it 💯

[@tbam994]

Why not J Love?

[@henrydembski1032]

@ I watched that Minnesota game closely, he’s just not that good, had receivers open and missed, limited mobility. If you can’t thrive in that system I have to fault the QB. I’d rank him 10-15 range but underwhelmed me

[@tbam994]

@@henrydembski1032 okay .. if you rank him 10-15 .. wouldn't that keep him a viable player?

[@henrydembski1032]

@ i had him as QB2 he was ok but really got exposed when I watched him, missed open receivers and doesn’t run much. Not a guy I feel is winning me any championship.

[@JM3jUiCe]

Joe!!! After 22 years in my league and 6 trips to the championship AND LOSING!!! I was the brunt of every joke at the draft table every year all year. I endured it all and took the abuse like a man! Well, I finally won my first chip on the 7th try! 🏆 guys are still shocked! But it’s not how ya got there, it’s the journey. I took some of your advice on free agents and draft picks and I gotta tell ya…YOU NAILED IT with BTJR! I drafted him in the 10 th round! I went ROBUST RB the last 2 years but I tried robust WR’s and still had a decent RB core even after drafting CMC first overall other late season injuries like Hubbard Godwin kincaid, evans, Drake London…etc But I wanna thank you. But now that I finally won, I want to rub it in and gloat till next draft! I’m thinking of making a grand entrance. Any ideas on draft day???

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Congrats! Let’s win it again in 2025!

[@douglashines5558]

Counselor is the absolute truth and the best in the biz. I won my league championship because of you. Thanks 🏆

Thank you Joe for all your advice during fantasy football. First time playing. Joe, "I did it"(Rocky) I won my 🏆 the fantasy football league. Thanks. Breece Hall & Sam LaPorta were my 2 dissapointments. Never again. Thanks Joe.

[@joshyahr7234]

Love your content dude. I did great in all my leagues this year because of your advice. Wondering if you would be willing to do some content for smaller leagues next season? Maybe a mock draft for an 8-10 person league?

[@ShootTheMoonMedia]

Wow. All of your predictions came true? Amazing.

[@BassHero55]

Totally agree with you on Richardson. I drafted Richardson and J Love (lol) as my quarterbacks and I ended up having to pick up Baker Mayfield off of free agency to be my starter. I would also add Kenneth Walker as he's been plagued by injuries this year and even when he's healthy his performance has been nothing to write home about. Thankfully though I still managed to make it to the finals in my league so hopefully I can win it this week

[@marklambert1790]

Agreed. Only had Kupp this year. Never again

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Never again

[@damonsmith7661]

yep that's Puka's team now lol

[@axmendozao]

MHJ, DK, Pittman, Keon (basically all the WRs I drafted)

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Keon and MHJ could step up we’ll see

[@thejsc6986]

Joe what are your thoughts on Amari Cooper if he comes back to the Bills?

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

No a hard no

[@robertmartinez6013]

David Montgomery, Aiyuk, Deebo, ETN

[@kellyhorigan5014]

Honorable mention, Rashod Bateman. I cut him late last off-season. My buddy picked him up, and later asked me “why would you drop that guy?” He said he thought Bateman had a good chance to turn things around 😮. I explained to him that these guys don’t just break out in their 4th year at 26yo and Ravens are built to run. I later looked at how my friend was using him and asked when he was going to start Bateman. He finally started him to get like 2pts on a week where JaMo went off. To be fair, JaMo is another guy you’ll never know when the blow up weeks are coming.

[@lukasbabic6444]

Taylor is 25, yes injury prone, missed 3 games due to injury this year and still finished RB 12, he is still and good RB. Kamara on the other hand I don't know, he is 29 and had a good season this year. Since I and most people play in a ppr format, Kamara still has value, and I have him as my RB 14.

[@FishHuntFreedom]

I agree with the entire list except JT and Kamara if you can grab them with little draft capital

[@seannovak3700]

I won with kamara this year and he was a pivotal player on the winning team last year. I agree with the age concern but he’s a good back

[@thatclekidgaming1501]

Is it safe to say that Deebo and Aiyuk are done?

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

I told you not to draft them they were done before the season started

[@tournanbrie12]

Waddle, N Collins, Ridley, D Swift

[@Belowthaheavenz]

Pollard made some solid spot starts for me this year

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

He’s done ✅

[@2BoysScaryPops]

DK Metcalf and Cooper Kupp for me and also hoping Marvin Harrison Jr can turn it around next year

[@BeauMcNeil]

Where do we think Ladd gets drafted next year? Rd 4 or 5?

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Probably Earlier to be honest! I am feeling late round 2 - early round 3

[@BeauMcNeil]

​@@fantasyfootballcounselorHe's a BEAST! You were the only one pounding the table to draft him this year 💪

[@bryantburns3664]

[@bryantburns3664]

[@bryantburns3664]

I started James cook, Taylor, flexed Bucky in the playoffs and smoked everyone

[@MarilynCaudill-i8x]

thanks been a OK season see you next season

[@chenry15]

Kamara is a questionable choice. If you're in a league that rewards receptions, he's incredibly viable and he is the focal point of the offense I don't think you can draft Green Bay WRs anymore. The coach wants to run the ball and not throw and when they do it's a spread offense And I think you could say the same thing for Buffalo WRs as well, they're a spread passing attack

[@colehelget9359]

Jayden Reed dynasty owner. Spot on. Very frustrating

[@DanteIuliano]

Had Garrett Wilson and Breece this year. Somehow managed to make the championship, but I will never be touching either of them again unless they get a change of scenery or a QB who doesn't force feed Adams 15 times a game😂

[@h1tman27]

For the first time ever I agree with you

[@levongaines9973]

I win draft Mixon on Texans team he was putting up numbers and if Houston do not draft another RB even better

[@vincecambio1479]

CMC should be an honorable mention. Never should've listened to everyone when i had the 1st pick in the draft. Waiting 2 rounds to get a good active player killed my team for the season
