Sam Bradford (Quarterback)(Philadelphia Eagles): Bradford has had two ACL surgeries in his short NFL career. With Chip Kelly's moves being questioned by everyone in Philadelphia how can we be sure this offense is for real? Preseason is never a measure of how a team will perform just how unlucky teams can be when it comes to injury, so far Bradford has been lucky. There are a number of quarterbacks you can find at the end of your fantasy draft that will hold less risk.

DeMarco Murray (Running Back) (Philadelphia Eagles): The Eagles are using a three back system which is never a good sign for any fantasy running back. Murray had the best season a running back could ask for in 2014 and he missed some time. The goal for the Eagles this year is simply to keep Murray healthy and limit his carries. No recent running back has broken the curse of 370, let alone with a brand new team the next season. All signs with Murray point to regression and in the round that he is available that is a deal breaker.

Marvin Jones (Wide Receiver) (Cincinnati Bengals): Jones is coming off of a season ending injury so his production will be somewhat of a question mark however he will likely be battling Mohamed Sanu for a roster spot. Both men are in contract years so Jones can ill afford an injury plagued season. Sanu stepped in for AJ Green last season and the Bengals ended up in the playoffs. Jones will be a boom or bust wide receiver 3.

Pierre Garcon (Wide Receiver) (Washington Redskins): Garcon is likely to be the number 2 wide receiver in the Redskins offense playing second fiddle DeSean Jackson. The Redskins offense is a mess and will likely see some changes throughout the season. Staying away from Washington's wide receivers just seems like a smart play in the long run.

Antonio Gates (Tight End)(San Diego Chargers): Gates has a 4 game suspension to start the season and he wasn't a certain fantasy option before his suspension either. Gates has been amazingly hard to predict in the past few seasons and at the end of the day he is not worth the fantasy headache.

Joique Bell (Running Back) (Detroit Lions): Bell is coming off a couple of injury plagued seasons and currently has several talented, younger running backs breathing down his neck. It will be shocking if Bell makes it through the entire season without a nagging injury.
