Fantasy Football Draft Mistakes to Avoid in 2022

Winning in fantasy football hinges on finding players who outperform their draft slots, avoiding overvalued players who can sink a season.

In a sea of deep quarterbacks, drafting Josh Allen in Round 2 is a risky move, especially considering his reliance on rushing touchdowns and uncertain passing numbers.

De'Von Achane's inefficiency and competition for touches in the Miami backfield make him an overvalued pick at his current ADP.

Marvin Harrison Jr.'s immense talent doesn't negate the fact that he is being drafted with the unrealistic expectation of a historic first season in fantasy football.

Riding on Tyler McBride's second-half surge from last year could prove to be an overvalued gamble, especially given the Cardinals' addition of other target hogs like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Zay Jones.

C.J. Stroud's lack of rushing production caps his fantasy potential and makes him a risky pick at his current ADP.

Kyren Williams, despite his stellar performance last year, comes at a high price in drafts this season, with concerns about his durability and the Rams' selection of another running back potentially eating into his workload.

Puka Nacua's unexpected rise in production last year might not be sustainable with Cooper Kupp back in action, making him a potentially overvalued pick at his current ADP.

David Njoku's career-high stats last season were inflated by playing with Joe Flacco and might not be replicable with Deshaun Watson at quarterback and the arrival of wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.
