As the 2025 NFL Draft concludes, savvy fantasy football players need to start identifying potential pitfalls for their upcoming drafts. While many focus on who to draft, avoiding overvalued players is equally crucial for success. Various factors, including injuries, team dynamics, and declining performance, signal that certain wide receivers should be avoided. Players like Cooper Kupp, who has struggled with injuries and poor production, are risky picks, particularly given the uncertainty surrounding his role in Seattle's offense. With the signing of Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the presence of new quarterback Sam Darnold, Kupp's upside appears limited.

Similarly, Deebo Samuel's move to the Washington Commanders raises flags. After an underwhelming season and expressed dissatisfaction with his role, it's unclear how he will adapt in a new system. Jaylen Waddle's inconsistency with Miami, particularly concerning quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's health, also makes him a less attractive option. Lastly, although Jameson Williams had a decent breakout season, his draft price is inflated given the competition for targets in Detroit. Courtland Sutton, despite a solid previous year, faces increased competition from Evan Engram and other offensive talent, making his success less certain. These are the players to avoid in your 2025 fantasy drafts for a more strategic approach.
