Another off-season, another crazy Brett Favre story, or  stories... Getting to be the same old story. Another story that is consistent  each year is which players will make or break your fantasy team. In this  article I will put some players out there that I think you should stay far away  from. These players, for whatever reasons, are still highly thought of by some,  but I am not one of them. Read on and I will tell you which players you need to  avoid in 2008.

QB Vince Young TEN; Young  has been one of the most hyped QBs since entering the league in 2006. I am not  on his bandwagon, as I just don't think he has the arm or the receivers to be  worthy of an overall ADP of 127, or as the 17th QB drafted. In his  two years as a starter he has averaged a decent 56.9% of his passes, but he has  only thrown 21 TDs while throwing 30 INTs over that same period. Some will  point to his rushing touchdowns (10) as a big reason to draft him, but even  those declined from 7 in year 1 to 3 in year 2. Even worse, the team now has  two RBs that will take the ball out of his hands more often and a receiving  corps that is not considered very good among NFL pundits and I don't think that  Young is a good pick at that ADP.

Players with a lower ADP that I would take before Young are Jason Campbell, Jake Delhomme, Jon Kitna and JaMarcus Russell.

Good article.   


I agree with the VInce Young alternatives.  I am willing to give him one more shot this year though as a backup.

I am torn on Roy Williams.  Although I am not a fan of his, I do think he has some value if he falls.
