Some people don’t realize it but July is one of the most dangerous times for dynasty owners. The NFL takes its final break before training camps and preseason kicks off. We’re just over a month away from the Hall of Fame game and the fantasy juices are starting to flow. That’s why you need to be careful this month, especially on social media sites like Twitter. Every year Twitter either hypes a player to the point you draft him a round or two higher than you should or you get talked into hating a player you have no good reason to. I asked my fellow DLF writers for who they think is currently being overvalued and undervalued in fantasy leagues. These are our overvalued players for you to re-consider.

“On my list, I would take Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, Dez Bryant, DeAndre Hopkins and Kelvin Benjamin, over Julio”
This is either a typo or the hottest of hot takes ever. Kelvin Benjamin over Julio??? Are we talking about the same Julio Jones?

Kelvin Benjamin, Brandon Cooks, and Alshon Jeffery before Julio Jones bahahaha

So you’re saying you’d take Benjamin over Julio if they were both available when your draft pick came up? You’re a Panthers fan, right?

I think we are being a little hard on guys like Arob, Julio, Elliott, & Parker. Parker only really played the final few games last season and tore it up.
Everyone needs to get off the Kbenj kick. The dude is a fat, slow, coming off a ACL injury & will be 26 in Feb. The Panthers had no weapons in 2014 when he posted a 73/1008/9 line. Kbenj should be about the 25th- 30th WR off the board in startups.

Julio’s stats over the last two seasons 240/3464/14 with 366 targets. The TD’s are low for such high volume, but I will take the yardage & receptions all day.

I’m all for hearing different opinions, but claiming Julio is your most overvalued player is silly. The argument of where he should be at worst is end of the 1st round, so there has to be better options. Stating you’d take Kelvin Benjamin over him is something much worse and borders on losing credibility. There simply isn’t a logical explanation for it. Say you’d prefer Benjamin at his ADP over Julio at his as a disclaimer at least.
…surely it is a mistake.

“Borders on losing credibility?”
Uuumm…Mike Valaverde is dead to me with such foolishness…if KBenji outscores Julio over the next 3 years I will gladly eat the crow this guy serves up…
I was reading that sentence and saw Dez on the list ahead of Julio and I was confused…then I read further…thanks for the laughs!!

As I am reading comments about my prediction I can understand where most of the readers come from. I know he is a favorite to many including me. There is no doubt that I am taking a risk by placing Kelvin Benjamin over Jones, but that is how I feel. I’m glad to see the engagement despite the criticism. It’s a good dialogue and worth considering. I’m always open to others’ opinions. Thanks for reading!

This kind of conversation is truly what I believe has made DLF great over the past ten years. Opinions, opinions, opinions. Love it!

Agree or disagree with his ranking of Julio, props to Michael. He put out a bold statement and, despite unnecessary backtalk, has stuck by it. I much more appreciate Michael’s posting and articulation of his reasons than I do the mockery in response. Thanks, Michael, for your article!

Discussion and dialogue should be encouraged Moishe, especially in comment sections. When a staff writer, takes such an egregious stance, he should be challenged by the readers. Perhaps Michael can put out an article detailing his stance to further clarify his opinion….

He didn’t give any reasons? Here you go Buddy?
“It’s not the receiving that has me worried it’s the touchdowns. Matt Ryan just can’t get him the ball in the end zone, and to think he will score more than eight times is foolish at this point. Then throw in the injuries, even though he has played healthy the last two seasons, I just don’t trust it. Injury Predictor has him at 62 percent chance of getting hurt, which is seventh for receivers.”

This week Austan Kas and Matt Price join Jeff and Nick to talk about undervalued players, zoo keeping, and more. Jeff and George also talk about a recent mock draft George participated in that included 2017 rookie picks, a topic they disagree on very much.
