In today’s article, I’m diving into some of my top Year 2 targets and fades from a dynasty fantasy football perspective, focusing on players from the 2024 NFL Draft class. To evaluate how my views stack up against the market, I compared my dynasty rankings on FantasyPros with the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). The results were eye-opening for me. There are several players I didn’t realize I was significantly higher or lower on until I saw the data. Hopefully, these insights will help guide your trade strategy as we head deeper into the offseason. I’ll share second-year fantasy football players I’m planning to avoid.

Dynasty Players to Avoid (Fantasy Football)
Fantasy Football Players to Avoid
Blake Corum (RB – LAR) | My Rank: RB68 | ECR: RB45
The good news for Blake Corum is that Kyren Williams has proven to be one of the least efficient starting running backs in the NFL. The bad news for Blake Corum is that he’s even worse, and Los Angeles just drafted a running back by the name of Jarquez Hunter, who is better than both of them. I’d sell Corum for as little as a future third.
Jarquez Hunter is one of the best values in Dynasty rookie drafts right now. Late 3rd to early 4th rounder.
He is legit good ranking 8th overall in our running back analytical model predicting future fantasy success and has one of the least efficient running back rooms in the… pic.twitter.com/dDftmKfEOC

Ray Davis (RB – BUF) | My Rank: RB56 | ECR: RB46
I get it; Ray Davis is the primary handcuff RB in a Josh Allen-led offense. I just don’t think he’s that good. 4.0 yards per attempt, 3.0 yards after contact, and a 19% breakaway rate aren’t impressive enough numbers to take on some massive workload, even if James Cook gets hurt. Not to mention, Davis will be turning 26 this season.
Rome Odunze (WR – CHI) | My Rank: WR28 | ECR: WR21
There’s no disputing Rome was a premier talent coming out of Washington, and the draft capital supported that. His 8.5 PPR points per game is somewhat excusable as well, given he had to compete for targets alongside D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen. That said, the target competition looks even tougher in 2025, and there’s a new head coach in Ben Johnson, who didn’t hand-select Rome. He selected Colston Loveland and Luther Burden despite Moore and Odunze already being there. That’s concerning.
Keon Coleman (WR – BUF) | My Rank: WR57 | ECR: WR51
Looking at my rankings, I feel like I should move Keon down even further. There’s not a situation where I could see myself feeling good about placing Coleman in my starting lineup on a weekly basis. Khalil Shakir earned 43 more targets than Coleman in 2024. Even Dalton Kincaid, who was awful last year, earned 18 more targets in the same number of games played as Coleman. I simply don’t see the path to fantasy relevance with this one.
