Players to Never Draft Again
D’Andre Swift (RB – CHI)
“D’Andre Swift is a player we fall for every offseason. There is a narrative that he will be more efficient as a runner without Jalen Hurts. He was not efficient in Detroit behind a great offensive line and he wasn’t efficient in Philly. The price is not as high as it has been in the past, but there is a reason Swift is on his 3rd team in three seasons. This could be more of a committee than we think.”
– David Heilman (Sports Gambling Podcast Network)
“D’Andre Swift is on his third team in as many years. When he came into the league, he was supposed to be the next great Detroit running back. He disappointed fantasy managers and NFL fans as he never eclipsed 620 yards rushing in Detroit (Gibbs & Montgomery BOTH did that in 2023). Last year, in Philadelphia, he wasn’t a bust, but definitely lost weeks for owners with nine games under 10 points (including 3.9 pts in Week 1 of the fantasy playoffs)! In Chicago, with a rookie quarterback and other players in the backfield who could challenge for touches, he will continue to disappoint fantasy owners, which is why I will not draft him, even at his low RB2 ranking.”

Javonte Williams (RB – DEN)
“I really thought Javonte Williams was going to be a top running back in this league, but he just hasn’t panned out. I have taken him in leagues each of the past two seasons, and he has provided me with next to nothing. I expect more of the same this year, especially with recent reports he is just fighting for a roster spot.”

Jonathan Taylor (RB – IND)
“Jonathan Taylor as RB4 is way too high for me to even consider drafting him. With him as RB4, people are living in his glory days as RB1 TWO YEARS AGO. He has played in 21 total games over the past two seasons and his yards per carry has dropped below 4.5 in those two seasons. I get it. He was dominant when he joined the NFL. But now the team has a big-sized rushing quarterback that will likely take opportunities away from him. Yes, Taylor has shown RB1 upside, but until he shows he can stay healthy again, I am out on him as a top-10 running back to be drafted. I would much rather have a back like Najee or Joe Mixon, two running backs I know I can grab later that have proven they can stay on the field and produce.”
