Right now, you could be drafting in a whole slew of fantasy football contests on Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC), one of the industry’s longest-running fantasy football platforms. These drafts cover best ball, dynasty and redraft, typically in the higher-stakes realm, with most contests priced between $35 and $10,000.
One of the more popular contests is the $125 1-QB TE-Premium best ball tournament, which pays $400,000 for first place. Here are five overpriced players to avoid on FFPC.

Overvalued Fantasy Football Players to Avoid on FFPC
Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE) | ADP: 46
Even if Quinshon Judkins hadn’t spent his offseason recovering from a serious injury, questions would be asked about this average draft position (ADP), but combining that with everything else paints a tricky picture.
Judkins suffered a dislocated ankle and a fractured fibula in Week 16, two injuries that on their own would have been bad enough, but together they make things more worrisome. Players like Tony Pollard and Mark Andrews have struggled with efficiency in recent seasons after returning from similar injuries. Judkins is younger, but we can’t assume he’ll avoid a similar path.
The Browns have by far the worst quarterback room in the league and have had to overhaul an offensive line that was an outright disaster. Expecting all five starters to gel and be problem-free is another thing altogether. With such an awful quarterback situation, can we expect this offense to move the ball?
Without Myles Garrett and former defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, will this defense be able to keep the score close enough for the ground game to be important? Those factors all make Judkins’ ADP difficult to swallow, but there’s another crucial aspect to consider: Dylan Sampson.
Ravens fans frequently criticized new Browns head coach Todd Monken for over-rotating Derrick Henry and Justice Hill in Baltimore over the last couple of years. It shouldn’t surprise us to see Sampson and Judkins rotated similarly.
Sampson, for his part, is a better pass-catcher than Judkins, outproducing him in yards per route run (2.01 vs. 1.17), yards per target (7.13 vs. 5.03) and yards per reception (8.21 vs. 6.58). Judkins is a good player, but his draft day cost assumes a bigger workload than the data suggests he’ll get.
RJ Harvey (RB – DEN) | ADP: 88.9
Another man finding himself heavily entrenched in a running-back-by-committee approach is RJ Harvey, who now has to compete with the returning J.K. Dobbins and rookie Jonah Coleman.
The Broncos traded away much of their 2026 draft capital to acquire Jaylen Waddle, but they still elected to use their second pick in round four on a running back when the immediate need wasn’t obviously there.
Coleman isn’t a complete prospect, or he wouldn’t have gone in the fourth round, but he is a good pass-protector and had only one fumble in four years in college. Both are qualities the coaching staff will value.
Even if Dobbins succumbs to his yearly injury and misses time, Harvey will face competition from at least one other player. Much like last season, Broncos beat reporters continue to suggest that Dobbins is the lead back, which makes him a value going 13 picks after Harvey.
Mark Andrews (TE – BAL) | ADP: 103
The TE-Premium nature of FFPC tends to push up some players who perhaps don’t deserve to be pushed as highly. Mark Andrews is currently the TE14 after ranking 19th in total targets last year. Andrews still has a path to paying off his ADP, but it’s likely through touchdowns with Lamar Jackson favoring him over Zay Flowers in the red zone.
Rookies Elijah Sarratt and Ja’Kobi Lane are both expected to be involved in the red zone, but Andrews is the Ravens’ all-time leader in touchdown receptions, and Jackson isn’t going to completely forget that. The trouble is that to really pay off in TE-Premium scoring, you need volume.
The extra half-point per reception makes the biggest difference when you have tight ends gaining six or more receptions per game.
Andrews had fewer than three receptions per game last season and looked pretty ropey. Among tight ends with 50+ targets, he ranked 23rd out of 28 in yards per reception (8.79) and dead last in yards after the catch per reception (2.25) — almost a half yard behind Zach Ertz (2.72) and over a full yard behind Mason Taylor (3.39).
If you have upside from an earlier tight end, and you’re looking to stack Andrews and Jackson together, this pick makes sense, but as a solo play or the TE1 on your team, it’s a tough sell.
Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR) | ADP: 104
The hype train is fully underway for Jonathon Brooks, despite him still not being fully cleared for contact almost 20 months after he tore his ACL for the second time in 13 months.
Brooks now enters the third year of his contract with only 12 touches for 45 combined yards. There’s no doubt the Panthers would love to see some return on their draft capital, having used the 46th overall pick on him, and the opportunity is there with Rico Dowdle no longer in the mix.
Chuba Hubbard was banged up last season and lacked explosiveness, but the team still came back to him as the season went on, having paid him through the 2028 season and still seeming to have faith. If they weren’t ready to turn everything over to Dowdle, who was outproducing Hubbard consistently, it seems hard to think that Brooks will be able to usurp Hubbard imminently.
Brooks goes ahead of Blake Corum, Rachaad White, Aaron Jones, Tyrone Tracy, Woody Marks and Chris Rodriguez Jr. in drafts, all of whom have shown a greater body of work. We can understand what picking them means for our team a whole lot easier than gambling on Brooks.
David Njoku (TE – LAC) | ADP: 175
Perhaps this one is being a little too picky, given that David Njoku is the TE29 in this format, but it might still be too high. Oronde Gadsden II is likely overpriced at TE16, but he could take a second-year leap after flashing in small spells during his rookie season.
Also, it doesn’t feel like the offense is ready to support Njoku. The Chargers paid good money to bring in Charlie Kolar from the Ravens during free agency. He can catch passes, but he’s a great blocker. Gadsden will likely get more pass-catching plays designed for him, which leaves the Chargers using Njoku as their No. 3 TE in a rotation.
The upside likely isn’t there, yet Njoku is being drafted around clear TE1 options like Cade Otton and Pat Freiermuth. There should be a greater distance between them and him.
