Every fantasy league site has their specific draft trends and CBS Sports is no different. On their platform, it’s the position players that seem to be overvalued — especially the younger ones. Guys like James Wood and Jasson Dominguez are going far earlier in CBS leagues than in others. While I do believe in prospect upside, the cost for some of these young studs is just too heavy for a decent ROI (return on investment).

While I didn’t include those two guys on this list, I did single out a few other youthful stars. This article isn’t meant to say avoid these guys, just don’t draft them at their current overvalued average draft position (ADP). I enjoy writing about underrated players more than overrated, but here we go. That said, here are five players to avoid at their current ADP in CBS fantasy leagues.

5 Overvalued Players to Avoid: CBS Drafts

Michael Harris (OF – ATL) | ADP: CBS – 42 / Consensus – 50

Michael Harris’ CBS ADP is only off by a bit compared to other sites, but to me, even 50th is far too early. Let me just quickly say I love watching Harris play. He’s extremely talented on the field and in interviews; he comes off as a likable guy and teammate. But fantasy champions aren’t won on personality or even talent alone. They’re won by production. What exactly has Harris produced that has him going so high in drafts?

Besides spending multiple weeks on the injured list (IL) regularly, Harris was supported in his first two seasons by an inflated batting average on balls in play (BABIP) that came crashing down in 2024. Over 470 plate appearances, Atlanta’s center fielder finished with 16 homers, 10 steals, 58 runs scored, 48 RBI and a .264 batting average (.300 BABIP).

Granted, he was dealing with injuries, and as a part of the Braves lineup, his value increases, but until he puts together a full season of real production, I’ll have my doubts. Harris has been injury-prone so far in his young career. He also doesn’t drive in runs (career-high 64 in 2022), hit many homers (never reached 20) or score many runs (58 last year in 110 games) because he rarely walks and bats towards the bottom of the lineup.

Another piece of data of note is that his batted ball profile has relatively stayed the same since his rookie year. His contact rates have remained steady and his ground ball rate decreased. A lot of that early success was based on luck and grounders that happened to get through.

Furthermore, factoring in that he probably won’t steal as much, so he can try and stay healthy, Harris will likely end up no better than an early mid-round selection. He won’t last that deep into the drafts, however, so let someone else overpay in the fourth round to obtain his services.

Jordan Westburg (3B, 2B – BAL) | ADP: CBS – 66/Consensus – 85

Don’t get me wrong, Jordan Westburg is a good player and could have a nice season in terms of fantasy production. But using a mid-sixth-round draft pick to get him is not smart. In Fantrax leagues, where closers tend to go later (not infielders), Westburg is being selected 110th on average. While his consensus average makes a little more sense at 85, I have seen him creep into the low 90s.

Westburg possesses decent pop to go along with a sufficient average but nothing stands out other than the vast amount of RBI opportunities he’ll be presented with. Most projections have him hitting around 20 homers with 70 RBI, 70 runs, eight steals and a .260 average. The Mississippi State alum will likely surpass those numbers, but not by a lot.

He also has second-base eligibility working for him, but I wouldn’t go chasing him any earlier than 85th overall. I’d much rather have Christian Walker, Cody Bellinger or Mark Vientos, who are all being selected after him in CBS leagues.

Triston Casas (1B – BOS) | ADP: CBS – 84/ Consensus – 108

Triston Casas is another young American League East slugger you can wait on. Going in the seventh round of CBS leagues, Casas is more fitted beyond 100th overall. The Red Sox first baseman could be in store for a banner year but seeing as one of his greatest assets is his patience, he’s better left for the middle rounds if your league doesn’t reward on-base percentage (OBP).

Casas offers nothing in the way of speed and he’ll be lucky to hit .260. However, the power is real and his counting stats should be good. Casas is going around pick 111th in high-stakes leagues, which is right around where you should target him.

Dylan Crews (OF – WSH) | ADP: CBS – 106/Consensus – 130

Dylan Crews is going to be a nice Major League player. He was the best in the country in college and has all the tools you look for in a ball player. Unfortunately, he has yet to do it at the professional level. The 23-year-old produced adequate numbers in the Minors. When he was called up, it was more of the same. Assuredly he’ll improve upon the .218/.288/.353 triple slash maintained over the last 31 MLB games of the season, but he’s hardly worth a draft pick close to 100 in fantasy baseball ADP.

The steals are a nice commodity and a 20/30 season is a nice ceiling, but he’s probably still a year away. I expect something more in the neighborhood of 15 homers, 65 runs, 65 RBI, 20 steals and a .255 average. While that output is worthy of a third or fourth outfield slot, it’s not worth reaching for at pick 106. He also hasn’t proven he can do it in the pros. You can wait a couple of more rounds for the speculative Crews to fall to you.

Jackson Holliday (2B – BAL) | ADP: CBS – 155/Consensus – 192

As much as I wanted to keep Jackson Holliday off this list, his CBS ADP was just too drastic. Going off the board around pick 200 in other leagues, CBS players are all in the former first overall draft pick. Holliday did bulk up in the offseason and his future is bright, but to select the 21-year-old before players like Kerry Carpenter, Jurickson Profar or teammates Tyler O’Neill and Colton Cowser feels blatantly wrong.

Holliday has all the upside in the world, but he is still just 21 and his struggles last year were well-documented. He’s likely to bat at the bottom of the order, where his numbers will stay mostly mediocre. Most projections put him at 12 homers, eight steals, 70 runs, 50 RBI and a .230 batting average. You can do far better in the mid-100s. Don’t target Holliday until at least pick 185.
