24/25 Yahoo Busts
Yahoo usually does a good job of avoiding ranking players too high. The Yahoo Sleeper List is always fairly lengthy, but it’s been a few years since the Yahoo Busts List looked like the ESPN Busts List. This year is no exception. While the Sleeper List includes about 30 names, this year’s Busts List is about half the length. Most of the players on this list fall into two buckets. The first bucket is injury-prone players or players on tanking teams who are not worth the risk at their current price. The second group is players whose lines are not good fits for category leagues. These players tend to excel in the popcorn categories (points, rebounds, and assists) that fantasy players always overvalue. Remember, you don’t get extra points for winning points or assists. A player appearing on this list does not mean they are a bad pick this year. It just means they are poor value at their current spot.
This list will be updated as draft season moves along.
