5 Players (Perhaps Busts) Going Too High in Fantasy Drafts

Believe it or not, it’s not fun to write a bust list. Who wants to think about players that will not meet expectations?

But think about it, we must.

When planning your fantasy baseball drafts, it is important to consider how to spend your draft capital– whether it is a late-round pick in a snake draft or a high bid in a salary-cap draft.

I wrote an article Wednesday about five hitters I am targeting late in drafts. I chose those sleepers based on the value they present at their current draft day cost. All of those players had an average draft position of 150 or lower.

Today, I want to focus on the flip side of the coin -- players that I’m skeptical about based on where they are currently being drafted.

All five of these players are immensely talented, and I would want them on my fantasy squad at the right price. However, at their current ADP, I have concerns.

Here are five potential bust candidates for 2023. All of these players are coming off the board before pick 60.
