The Undraftable Part I Fantasy Football Players To Avoid: Carlos Hyde, Victor Cruz, Roddy White, Rashad Jennings, Jonathan Stewart

Sep 03, 2015 03:19 PM EDT

Carlos Hyde (San Francisco 49ers): Hyde is working behind a bad offensive line that has a problem getting the ball down the field. Kaepernick gets most of his offensive yards by using his legs which does not help anyone in the long run. Hyde is supposed to be the answer for the absence of Frank Gore however he has instead become a filler guy, he has looked anything but impressive in preseason. For all we know Jerryd Hayne could come in and steal the starting job in the blink of an eye.

Victor Cruz (New York Giants): Cruz has barely done any preseason work and is still struggling from a calf injury that has kept apparently kept him sidelined for week 1. Cruz is also coming back from a serious injury so there is no guarantee he will play at 100 percent any time soon.

Roddy White (Atlanta Falcons): Roddy White has also been injured for a large part of the offseason which is very reminiscent of last season. White suffered from injury all season and still struggled to put up points. This decline is most likely due to age and wear and tear, White should fall into the number 3 wide receiver role this year.

Rashad Jennings (New York Giants): Jennings has a crumbling offensive line and injury issues, it would be best to stay away as he has yet to prove that he can be relevant and dependable.

Jonathan Stewart (Carolina Panthers): Stewart has been one of the most injury prone running backs of the last few seasons. It would be a great shock if he made it through all 16 games. Expect his backup Cameron Artis-Payne to eventually take the lead.
