Fantasy football drafts are in full swing at this point as the 2023 regular season kicks off in less than two weeks. As you prepare for your drafts, you should certainly take in all of the expert advice that you can, but you don't have to agree with 100 percent of it.

Sometimes, the best fantasy teams are put together because you went out and took the guys you believed in, many of which most of the other owners in your league were to scared to take a chance on themselves.

As a fantasy football player for over two decades now, I can tell you that the BEST thing about fantasy football is when you draft a player, get ridiculed for taking said player, and then watching as that player has a massive year and leads your fantasy team to a title.

Fantasy football is full of ups and downs if you do it long enough, but being "right" about a player is exhilirating.

Recently, Fantasy Pros put out an article detailing 10 players that should be avoided in drafts this year because they are going to bust. While many of these names are players I would also stay away from, three of them stick out as guys who should be on your team.

I will gladly take these players if I have the chance and you should too.
