When I included Tom Brady in last year's "Players To Avoid" column I expected some crap. And some crap I got. Yes, some accused me of smoking the chronic or being on crack. Some of you questioned my intelligence and yes, even my sanity. But here you are, back again for more mystical knowledge from the Huddle college.
Yeah, I know. Brady got injured. Otherwise I would have come out looking like a giant ass. But he did and I didn't. Hey, I can't explain how this stuff works for me with this list any more than I can explain why drunken golf gallery idiots shout "get in the hole" on a par 5 tee. In the immortal words of Charlie Daniels, "there are some things in this world you just can't explain." I have hit 75% success rate with this column, and that means you would probably be wise to heed my advice. Or call me a crack-head and end up looking like a buffoon by Christmas. Either way I'm cool with it.
Once again for you first time readers out there, here are the parameters. These are players that I think are overvalued in relation to their average draft position. I play PPR leagues so all picks are based on ADP of PPR. I am NOT saying all of these guys are going to be busts. Some will. But I think all these players are risky where they are currently being drafted in mock drafts, and will not live up to their draft position expectations. They are players I will avoid at their current draft positions, and some I will avoid regardless of draft position.
I never shy away from first round picks; after all they have more downside than most, so let's start there.
 DeAngelo Williams
Wow! When it finally happened for Williams it really happened. He is coming off a killer season. A great value pick in last year's fantasy draft. Congratulations if you saw that coming. Most figured Williams was a bit risky last year with rookie Jonathan Stewart coming into the fold, however Williams stole the show with an impressive run after a slow start to the season. But let's get a good clear look in the rear-view shall we?
