We don't hate players; we hate ADPs.

I think any analyst worth their weight in this space can make a bull or bear case for any player, with the caveat centered around their average draft position. We don't make draft picks in a vacuum, independent of surrounding circumstances. Each pick has an opportunity cost associated with it. Forgive me for not breaking news here, but selecting a player means you're not choosing others still available when you're on the clock. This premise is not the rocket science portion of your research, but it is important to remember this when scanning this list.

It's less about the actual player and more about their upside and what's available on most draft boards when selected. It's not a 'Do Not Draft' or 'Bust' list. The delineation is essential. Remember, cost matters. I'm not going to waste your time and tell you why some random late-round dart will fail. All three of these selections are currently coming off the board within the first six rounds of a 12-team fantasy draft, with an ADP inside the top 30 at wide receiver.
