Early DO NOT DRAFT nominations (1 Viewer)

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

I'd still draft Deebo as a WR3/flex but I think his best days are behind him.

I think Nick Chubb is someone that I might not prioritize drafting.

DK Metcalf

Pay a lot for what is an occasional wr2

Just because Jerry Jones thinks he is worth so much, I don’t have to agree. I won’t fall for the charms of Dak Prescott as my QB1 again…

 

[Deamon]

For me it will be London. It because he isn't worth having but I am keeping Bijan and this year I screwed up and also drafted London (as like the last WR left before the drop) and never wanted to start both at the same time.

-QG

Starting 2 players on the same team is zero issue. Both of them did fantastic this year, be grateful

Every time Dak misses significant time with an injury, the following year he puts up great numbers.

DK gets my vote …. Contract year came out the gates blazing … then passed the torch with no drive to get it back from Smith … T.O wanna be

I’m not drafting Bishop Sankey in 2025. Jk, I never drafted him. Sorry for opening old wounds on New Year’s Day. Perhaps I’ll make it a New Year’s resolution in 2026 not to do that.

Jordan Love - really as much on LeFleur and Jacobs. They don’t need to pass much to win

Olave - drafted twice. Burned twice

Waddle - seems to get injured on every collision.

For Love, that won’t last forever.

No one is on a DND list, but a guy I think will be too highly ranked for my liking (based on the FBG 2025 Fantasy Football Draft Rankings (Way Too Early) list):

TE - Brock Bowers (1.12) - To be a full round (or more) ahead of all others at the position, you would have to distance yourself from the field by alot more than what he did this year. In full-PPR, Kittle & McBride kept pace, and in non-PPR, Kittle outscored him, even in 2 less games. The last time a TE was worth a 1st round pick was 2022 Kelce, when he finished 102.9 PPR FP ahead of the next best TE. That's the kind of VBD you need to to justify a TE in the 1st round. Stick to RB's and WR's in the first 2 rounds.

TEs, man.

I wanna play in a no TE format. Never mind premium, I want all WR positions to be WR/TE and just never roster any.

After kickers they’re the bane of my FF existence.

My 29 year work redraft league is still a no-TE format. Very old school league that just went to 1/2 ppr 3 years ago (can’t change too fast )


As for this thread’s subject….i just put this in the Pickens thread as well, but Pickens. He’s a WR3 at best imo but someone else will (hopefully) draft him as a WR2.

Pickens is as close to a "no draft" as one gets for me. Not that the talent isn't there, but until he puts together the work ethic and maturity to go along with it he will always be a disappointment.

No worries though as he is likely to be drafted before I have to worry about him (also in a long-time, no TE league - 32 yrs).

Going to be hard to hit the draft button on C. Kupp after the last few games. Will have to content with Puka and a constant buzz of is he washed or not.

He's done. 23 targets last 5 games, 12 catches. Tried trading him but no one was dumb enough.

Problem there is that Stafford locks onto his top target and feeds that target, almost to a point of ridiculousness. Kupp was wide open underneath on a target he force fed to Puka in that last game....and it wasn't a matter of not seeing him as they were on the same side of the field not all that far apart.
Kupp still has value as a low end 3 or flex, with huge upside if Puka were to get hurt. Doesn't belong on any DND lists, but is not worth a premium pick for either. If I can pick him up in the bottom half of the draft as a WR 4 or 5 I'm taking him

Easily yes. Better pick for BB, probably.

 

[TheWinz]

That would be around the 9th round. He could tear both ACL's and someone would still draft him well before that.

 

[King of the Jungle]

Kupp will probably be a value at this point, as I think most people will feel like they do not want him and he will fall. Wouldn’t touch Aiyuk due to injury unless he goes super late. CMC may be a value depending on where he slots. Bowers will be too pricey for me. If Chase sits out waiting for a contract I may slide him down a little. Tough exercise this time of year.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I’m less concerned about IG by his injuries and more concerned about the low volume passing offense.

He should have plenty of time to heal up. Might be a nice WR3 if he slides that far.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Pickens.

 

[BassNBrew]

I still own Pitts. The change to Pennix has been a positive for him, and TE are notoriously slow to develop.

Dude is 24, and the Falcons have a lot of young offensive talent.

I’m probably gonna take a late round flier on him in redraft, assuming everyone has him as a DnD. Probably BB gold.

I was thinking earlier he might finally be a sleeper next year.

And so it begins again....

This is the year Lucy doesn’t pull the ball back

Waddle. What a disaster.

 

[TheDirtyWord]

You might as well nickname Kyle Pitts, Gollum.
