Quarterbacks + Tight Ends To Avoid (2021 Fantasy Football ...

Which QB are you least likely to draft at their current rank?Aaron Rodgers (QB – GB) ECR: QB8 He’s currently ranked as the QB8, which isn’t extremely high, but with someone who has question marks, it’s too high for me. – Connor Rigg (@ConbonNFL)Personally, I’m a fan of drafting QBs in the later rounds of drafts, but sometimes I’ve decided to get risky and take one earlier. If I draft one before the tenth round, though, I want to make sure they have as few question marks as possible, which means I’ll be passing on Rodgers at QB8. – Andrew Hall (@AndrewHallFF)Last year I thought Rodgers was one of the best values of any quarterback in fantasy. It appears more worth it than ever to actually take a QB before the very end of your draft, specifically in 0.5 PPR, but the third round is still too rich for me. Allen has a massive ceiling, but at the QB2 – and 47 overall – ranking, I’d rather wait and take a cheaper QB who may not have an inflated ADP. Which TE are you least likely to draft at their current rank?Mark Andrews (TE – BAL) ECR: TE5 Andrews finished as the overall TE4 last season in points per game. I have zero interest in a part-time tight end in a low volume passing offense with the greatest rushing QB of all time on a team that added three new wide receivers to its roster, including one in the first round. Coming off a season where he ranked 10th at the position in targets, I think it is a hard sell to put Andrews over T.J. Hockenson or Kyle Pitts. Andrews will continue to be a rock-solid TE1 and a top-five option at the position but I’d much prefer to wait until later in the draft and take someone like Noah Fant or Robert Tonyan. – Jason Kamlowsky (@JasonKamlowsky)Similar to my rationale for the QB whom I’m least likely to draft, for TEs, I’m also considering what’s the best value. So why is Mark Andrews, who’s put up respectable back-to-back fantasy years in fantasy, the TE whom I’m most likely not going to draft? Fant is currently ranked at TE8 at 81st overall, which would make him a late-sixth round pick. Depending on how my first five or six picks go I could see taking a player like Conner here even though he might not last the entire season but simply because the RB landscape is so volatile the further you get in the draft. Tonyan is not ranked super high as the TE10, but he’s still going ahead of names like Logan Thomas and Mike Gesicki, who were targeted far more often than he was last season and figure to be bigger focal points of their respective offenses. Every year, we get a TE drafted early in the first round who’s deemed the “greatest TE prospect of all-time.” And that player always falls drastically short of expectations.
