While the 2026 NFL regular season is still months away, now is the time to start preparing for redraft leagues. Many factors go into fantasy players winning their redraft league every year. However, the top factor is arguably avoiding players that will bust or are overpriced.

Overvalued Fantasy Football Players to Avoid on Yahoo
Let’s look at six players who are overpriced draft values based on Yahoo ADP for redraft leagues.
Josh Allen (BUF) – ADP 18.4 | QB1
I have no problem with Allen being the clear-cut QB1 after the Bills added DJ Moore and Skyler Bell this offseason. The superstar has finished as a top-two quarterback in five consecutive years, including back-to-back seasons as the QB1 despite lacking a big-name wide receiver. However, his 18.5 ADP is the problem, as the quarterback position has never been deeper for fantasy players. Furthermore, Brock Bowers (19.6), Nico Collins (19.7), and Omarion Hampton (19.8) have a later ADP than Allen, and all three should get drafted over the superstar quarterback.
Saquon Barkley (PHI) – ADP 15.4 | RB8
Many had concerns about Barkley last year after the superstar had 482 touches in 2024, including the playoffs. The former Penn State star averaged 14.5 PPR fantasy points per game last season, his lowest mark since 2021. Furthermore, he averaged 4.1 yards per rushing attempt and had 13 breakaway runs last year. By comparison, Barkley averaged 5.8 yards per rushing attempt and had 25 breakaway runs during his fantasy MVP season in 2024. After finishing last year as the RB14, fantasy players should avoid drafting Barkley as a mid-range RB1.
TreVeyon Henderson (NE) – ADP 53.9 | RB22
While fantasy players had high hopes for him as a rookie, Henderson was unstartable for most of the year, finishing as the RB21. His 12.1 PPR fantasy points per game average was lower than Kenneth Gainwell‘s (13) and, more importantly, Rhamondre Stevenson‘s (12.8). Furthermore, Henderson averaged 11.3 touches and 9.5 fantasy points per game in the 14 regular-season contests. By comparison, he averaged 19 touches and 24.3 fantasy points per game with the veteran injured. Neither Patriots running back should get drafted as anything more than a mid-range flex option.
Jameson Williams (DET) – ADP 60.2 | WR24
Last season, Williams quietly finished as the WR12, showing what a down year it was at the wide receiver position. His 12.9 PPR fantasy points per game average ranked 19th on a points-per-game basis, ranking behind Wan’Dale Robinson (13.6) and Christian Watson (13.2). Furthermore, Williams was hard to trust every week, scoring 6.6 or fewer fantasy points in 41.2% of the games, including zero twice. Fantasy players should avoid drafting the former Alabama star at his current fifth-round and WR 24 ADP and target a pass catcher with less volatility.
Rashid Shaheed (SEA) – ADP 127.3 | WR48
The 2025 season was a tale of two halves for Shaheed. He was the WR26 over the first nine weeks with the New Orleans Saints, averaging 7.3 targets and 11.6 PPR fantasy points per game. By comparison, the veteran averaged 2.9 targets and 5.8 fantasy points per game in nine contests with the Seahawks. While having a full offseason to develop chemistry with Sam Darnold will help, Shaheed is far from guaranteed to have a fantasy-relevant role on a limited Seattle passing attack, especially with Klint Kubiak in Las Vegas.
Dalton Kincaid (BUF) – ADP 87.6 | TE9
Kincaid was one of my favorite sleeper tight ends last year. Unfortunately, he finished as the TE20, averaging 10.5 PPR fantasy points per game, missing five contests because of injury. While Kincaid set a career-high with five receiving touchdowns, the veteran never saw more than six targets in any game, hitting that mark in only three contests. More importantly, he no longer has a realistic shot at being first or second on his team in targets, which is necessary to justify his ADP, after the Bills traded for DJ Moore.
