Grab a cold drink and branch, because I break a six -pack players to help you dominate your upcoming concepts.
First let’s get rid of the bad news. For the record, everyone who can get the damn NFL is not “Dud”. Nevertheless, here are 3 players I am for at their current price.
The guys
DJ Moore (WR, Chicago Bears)
Moore can still play, no two ways about it. This “Dud” perspective comes more of what the bears have said because of their actions than the lack of talent on the part of the player.
In April, Chicago in Colston Loveland set at 10 in general, and Wr Luther Burden III early in the 2nd round. New head coach Ben Johnson played a crucial role in these 2 picks, especially according to the Chicago Tribune and Yahoo Sports. Together with the ninth general choice of last year’s design, Rome Odunze, the bears suddenly have a whole series of viable Pass-Catchers.
Moore’s insufficiently explosive rating of 94.6 hints with a lack of big play. His adot of 2024 of 7.5 was considerably lower than his previous career average of 10.8. Even a aging Keenan Allen was able to collect an adot of 9. Moore’s 2024 Dominator rating of 28.6 percent is considerable, but that was last year before the intake of talent that was taken over in April.
Baker Mayfield (QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
Although it is more than a full round later than QB6, Patrick Mahomes, Mayfield is a avoid.
We can start immediately at the front. The loss of Tristan Wirfs could have real consequences. With the 2-time All-Pro Left Tackle set to miss at least the first four games, then Fornek left the entire O-line from the “Elite” layer in this article.
Some of these advanced statistics are downright alarming. Last year the Gunslinger was in second place in both the danger and intercepting passes. To his honor, he is also in second place in transient TDs (41). But taking risks against the rate that Mayfield does, will see that last Stat -Reggress closer to the competition average, which was 24.5 (per team) last season.
Baker Mayfield’s 2024 production statistics
The 108 printing also caught my attention, as this was with Tristan Wirfs in the Line -up.
It is best to create the available value among skills players in this area of concepts.
Travis Kelce (Te, Kansas City Chiefs)
Kelce will go into his twelfth NFL season, and by the end of week 5 he will be 36. Most of his advanced statistics from last season are far above the competition average. But his yards per route -Run took a big dip of 2.01 in 2023 to 1.67 last year. It would be difficult to say that Kelce would be an outright bust against his costs, and in fact I don’t suggest that. The problem here are his costs versus his ceiling.
His composite ADP is 63.5. In this area of the design (early to middle 5th round) we have to be looking for more. We want players who surpass their ADP over a round or so. For Kelce, this outcome simply is not in the cards.
Last season, Xavier Worthy saw coming up, which really started to shine as the year progressed. He scored 19.6, 20.5 and 22.9 fantasy points in weeks 15, 16 and 17 respectively that, the return of a healthy Marquise Brown and what Rashee Rice can contribute this year, the target competition has become more difficult in KC. Then there is the return of a completely healthy pacheco, which seems ready to demand his reasonable part of opportunities this year.
All in all, Kelce is another player I have prepared. RJ Harvey, Calvin Ridley and George Pickens are just a few of the players who immediately go behind him that I would rather make shots.
Okay, enough negativity …
The studs
AJ Brown (WR, Philadelphia Eagles)
With the second highest pff figure of the NFL (91.6), Brown is one of the best broad recipients of the competition, currently at the top of his game.
The explosive assessment of Brown (EPX) is 133.1, the best in the NFL. He has a flashy 3.16 meters per route -run and a 38.3 percent dominator rating. The advanced statistics and his tape both show a player who could easily be a talent in the first round, so what gives? Namely, Saquan Barkley. The Eagles were able to suck away some games at the beginning of last year. This allowed them to really lean in their run game, so they made good use of the freshly acquired Barkley.
AJ Brown Explosive Rating
The Eagles have a considerably more difficult strength of the diagram in 2025 compared to 2024, with their 2025 opponents combined .561 combined 2024 winning percentage compared to a simpler .491 percent for their 2024 opponents. Their 2025 schedule scores the fourththth in the NFL, with 11 games by 2024 Playoff teams, a total bound for the most in the competition. This year this suggests a number of tighter competitions on the docket for Philly, which hurts and co. To air it more often.
Brown is an absolute smash for me in the middle to the late second round.
David Njoku (Te, Cleveland Browns)
In case you have missed it, Joe Flacco is back in the middle for the Cleveland Browns for the 2025 season. This is fantastic news for the late Breakout -Strakke End. Along the piece in 2023, with flacco at the helm, blew up Njoku. For weeks 14-17, with the Fantasy Playoffs, Njoku had an average of 21.8 points per match.
Even last year, with four different quarterbacks, Njoku showed some impressive advanced statistics and statistics. He rank number 4 in fantasy points per game and number 5 in Dominator Rating. Njoku, really a freak of an athlete (see below), also collected 12 red zone goals last year.
David Njoku’s athletics score
The composite ADP from Njoku is 87, which is a screaming value. He is one second -class tight end on which I focus.
Jordan Mason (RB, Minnesota Vikings)
Mason exploded on stage last year, directly from the gate in week one. He on average 15.4 fantasy points per match in weeks 1-6, including the sixth game where he sustained a sprained AC-Joint in his left shoulder.
Jordan Mason Explosive Rating
Together with that impressive 120.2 explosive rating, Mason also had 4.8 real yards per carry.
Now he is in Minnesota with an aging Aaron Jones. Head coach Kevin O’Connell says that the team has a “1A -1B” situation in the decline. Mason will have the Korte-Yardage and the goal line, while Jones will handle the passing tasks. This means that Mason will at least have flex appetizers if the goal line in a high scoring attack. This, together with the age of Jones and his injury history, means that we could have a huge hit here in the late seventh/start-up round of fantasy concepts.
Shutdown
I hope you liked this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. My general collection meals from this article is that the price we have to pay for the players I mentioned as “Duds” not with all the factors that work against those players. On the contrary, the “studs” offer a potentially enormous advantage over their costs. Feel free to let me know how wrong I will be, or even if you agree.
