Fantasy Football Advice: Players We’ll Never Draft Again
Never Draft Again: Which player burned you so badly in 2025 that you can’t fathom drafting them in 2026 unless their ADP plummets?
Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)
“I really hope this actually remains true and I don’t fall victim to a potential summer hype train… But I simply can’t draft Marvin Harrison Jr. again. I was willing to overlook some glaring red flags after his rookie season because of how highly regarded a prospect he was. But he was downright awful this season! He consistently dropped wide-open targets and failed to win on contested catches (or gain consistent separation). It also clearly wasn’t the system, because Michael Wilson looked like Jerry Rice out there! I’d love nothing more than for Marv to prove me wrong, but he’ll do so on someone else’s team.”

Keon Coleman (WR – BUF)
“Please contact security and ask them to escort Keon Coleman from the premises. His services will no longer be needed here.”
– Christopher Gimino (RotoGrinders)
Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – JAC)
“As long as Trevor Lawrence remains the QB in Jacksonville, it’s hard to be overly optimistic about Brian Thomas Jr. T-Law just works better with TEs and other WRs such as Jakobi Meyers/Parker Washington. Not too shocking, given how Lawrence was at his best in previous seasons with Evan Engram and Christian Kirk.”
– Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros)
“I did not enjoy the Jordan Addison experience in 2025. I knew he was probably being overvalued coming into the season based on his touchdown rates from the previous two seasons, but I didn’t expect this kind of implosion. In his defense, he dealt with some brutal QB play for most of the season. J.J. McCarthy looked like one of the worst young QBs we’ve seen since JaMarcus Russell, Max Brosmer may actually BE the worst QB we’ve seen since Russell, and a battered and broken Carson Wentz was serviceable at best behind a Vikings offensive line that was barely slowing down pass rushers. That obviously didn’t translate to anything close to consistent WR production, especially considering the Minnesota offense struggled even to feed Justin Jefferson. Addison was a boom or bust gamble coming into the season, and he never boomed. His best finish of the season was as WR10 in Week 17, and that was thanks to a 65-yard RUSHING touchdown. Unless there is some kind of miracle coming to play QB for the Vikings in 2026, count me out on Addison, even at what should be a discounted price.”
