We asked seven analysts to reveal which big-name wide receiver they're avoiding in drafts for the upcoming fantasy football season — answers listed in order of current Yahoo average draft position (ADP).
Here's the thing: I don't actually feel as if I'm actively fading Higgins. I like the player, love the offense and respect his season-to-season consistency. Somehow Higgins is still only 24 years old, so there's no reason to think we've already seen his best.
And yet when I compare my own rank on Higgins to both industry and Yahoo consensus , I'm clearly not quite as bullish as everyone else. Also, I haven't yet drafted him in any season-long league, so that tells me I'm at least passively fading him. The primary issue for me is that Higgins is one of those top-of-the-tier guys — a player I genuinely like, but not significantly more than, say, DK Metcalf or Amari Cooper.
Cooper is a talented receiver who deserves his fourth-round ADP, but I'd rather wait for Brandon Aiyuk in the late fifth or early sixth round if I'm looking for a WR to top 1,000 yards with 7-9 touchdowns this season. —Keenan Allen averaged 10.3 targets per game once he fully returned in Week 11 from a complicated hamstring injury that took months to work back from. That volume has plenty of folks quite excited about his 2023 season. I'm a little skeptical it will sustain this year.
and wouldn't mind missing this call as he was the most underrated elite wideout of the last decade. I'd just rather get off the age cliff a year early than a year late. —
