12 Fantasy football players you’re drafting too high

Last season, I faded Swift and lived to regret it. This season, Im fading Swift at cost. I could end up feeling silly again this year, but I’ll contend that my argument is different. Last year, I thought Swift would get game-scripted out of opportunities. Instead, they saw way more targets than I anticipated and had an excellent season. This year, I don’t think game script is going to impact Swift’s snap share. Instead, I wonder if there will be enough targets to go around in the Lions offense. OK, maybe my argument isn’t so different this year.

Hear me out. Amon-Ra St. Brown was a mid-season Revelation last year and figures to keep a large share of the targets. TJ Hockenson is healthy again and will be involved. DJ Chark is a new addition to the offense and should see his fair share of targets on the outside. Finally, we expect Rookie Jameson Williams to arrive sometime later this season. Lest we forget, Jared Goff is still the quarterback of an offense that was middle-of-the-road in passing volume last year. This aerial attack will probably only support two pass catchers at most. If Swift isn’t gobbling up targets, its hard to see him making up the difference with his rushing work. I look forward to once again being proven wrong.
