The #1 Roth Conversion Mistake That Costs Retirees

Most people missed the first Roth conversion window. History is offering a rare second chance — but not a long one.

With today's tax rates extended, IRA Millionaires have a brief stretch of historically low brackets left. When it closes, the math changes: higher rates, bigger required distributions, and fewer conversion opportunities each year you wait.

Craig Wear, CFP®, has spent 15+ years helping more than 3,000 families with $1M+ in IRAs plan Roth conversions — helping them avoid a projected $10B+ in lifetime taxes. His new book, Roth Conversion Reset, is the step-by-step playbook:

Lock in today's low rates
Avoid RMD surprises at 73
Protect your spouse from survivor taxes
Keep more for your heirs

Trying something new. Tonight, we’re looking at Red Flags as a % of Total Mentions.

• Based on mentions last 7 days

• Position ADP pulled from DraftSharks

• Only including top 200 players by ADP

• Only including players with at least 50 mentions

3 QBs with the highest % of red flag mentions:

1. CJ Stroud (18.50%) - National coverage points to repeated offensive-line turnover, forced decisions, increased interceptions and the four-interception playoff collapse as evidence that Stroud must prove he can handle pressure and high-leverage situations. Fantasy analysts add that Houston's low-volume, defense-led approach can cap his totals even when protection improves, while uncertainty among the receiving options makes a reliable rebound harder to project.

2. Jaxson Dart (15.00%) - Fantasy analysts flag Dart’s willingness to absorb contact, uncertain passing quality, poor pressure results and possible loss of red-zone rushing as the risks most capable of undermining the QB1 case. Beat coverage adds delayed timing, inconsistent under-center execution, limited deep-ball evidence and occasional missed reads while noting that the offense is still being installed. National coverage agrees that protection communication and pocket awareness need improvement, but it also notes that some of the latest negative plays resulted from protection failures rather than Dart alone.

3. Baker Mayfield (12.90%) - Fantasy coverage identifies Mayfield's extensive injury burden as the primary risk: he appeared on injury reports in 10 of 18 weeks and dealt with eight listed injuries while still playing every game. National analysts add that his willingness to take contact and force throws can turn a hot start into a second-half decline, while fantasy analysts cite four consecutive coordinator changes, less certain receiving support and the contract dispute as additional threats. These concerns cap confidence in a repeat of his earlier top-five production, even though they do not eliminate a healthy top-12 outcome.

3 RBs with the highest % of red flag mentions:

1. Christian McCaffrey (23.50%) - Analysts repeatedly identify McCaffrey's age-30 season, 413 to 450 prior touches, extensive career workload and prior injuries after heavy-touch seasons as the core durability risk. His rushing profile also declined, with cited marks near 3.8 to 3.9 yards per carry, 2.75 yards after contact per attempt and a 16.7% breakaway rate. The bullish counterpoint is that his receiving production and full-season ceiling remain unusual; the bearish counterpoint is that his prior fantasy output may require another workload that analysts do not expect to be sustainable.

2. Aaron Jones (22.90%) - Fantasy analysts identify Jones's age-32 season, repeated missed games, career-low 4.2 yards per carry and declining explosive-run indicators as the main threats to his fantasy reliability. National coverage adds that he played only 12 games in the latest season cited and that his efficiency has fallen, while beat coverage repeatedly flags his tendency to get nicked up. The concern is not a reported current injury. It is that another absence or continued decline could accelerate Jordan Mason's claim on the backfield.

3. JK Dobbins (19.90%) - Coverage repeatedly cites Dobbins' extensive injury history, including seven missed games last season and a career pattern that has prevented a full NFL campaign. Analysts also connect that history to Denver's possible decision to preserve him, which could reduce his workload even when he is active and create more opportunity for Jonah Coleman or RJ Harvey if he misses time.

3 WRs with the highest % of red flag mentions:

1. Davante Adams (19.70%) - Coverage flags Adams' age-34 season, 60 catches, 789 yards, 72.1% snap share, 52.6% catch rate and 2.0 yards after catch. National analysis adds that his PFF receiving grade has fallen to 84.0 or lower in each of the past three seasons and that his recent Rams production averaged 4.3 receptions and 56.4 yards per game.

2. Garrett Wilson (17.50%) - Analysts identify uncertain quarterback play as the primary threat to converting Wilson's targets into yards and touchdowns, citing concerns about short-area passing, sacks, turnovers, coaching and a possible in-season quarterback change. Added receiving options could also challenge the assumed 26-30% target share, even though most analysts still expect Wilson to lead the team. The most bearish fantasy case projects the Jets among the league's bottom five scoring offenses, making his volume less useful in non-PPR formats and leaving some analysts unwilling to pay his current price.

3. Chris Godwin (17.40%) - The primary risks are Godwin's age, his record of playing only 16 of the past 34 games, the ankle-related complications and the possibility that Tampa Bay manages his body during the season. Skeptical analysts also cite a limited recent fantasy ceiling, fewer than five touchdowns in a season since 2020 and speculation that his role could eventually be reduced, although the phase-out scenario has not been confirmed. The bearish case focuses on durability and declining opportunity rather than poor hands.

3 TEs with the highest % of red flag mentions:

1. Mark Andrews (23.50%) - Beat reports cite repeated drops, a fumble, limited separation, reduced explosiveness and a dropped two-point conversion, with the latest account estimating close to double-digit practice drops. Fantasy analysts add age and sharp efficiency declines to the concern, including 8.8 yards per catch, 6.0 yards per target and 24.8 yards per game in the cited recent season. The reports remain uncertain about whether camp conditions are inflating the problem, but the volume of negative observations has made the risk more than a single-practice issue.

2. Travis Kelce (17.70%) - Fantasy and national coverage identify his age-37 season, declining fantasy points per game, reduced yards after the catch and inconsistent weekly finishes as the main warning signs. His yards per route run have fallen from 2.05 career-wide to below 1.50 over the last two seasons, while his 1.47 mark and 8.4% drop rate represent especially poor recent efficiency indicators. National voices also cite a 28th-place red-zone target share and possible changes to Kansas City's passing or goal-line philosophy, making his name value a less reliable indicator of volume or touchdowns.

3. Harold Fannin Jr. (15.20%) - Fantasy analysts warn that Cleveland may struggle to create enough first downs, pass attempts and red-zone opportunities to support a high-end tight-end finish. The additions of KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston could reduce ordinary and red-zone targets, while Concepcion may also absorb some of the manufactured touches Fannin used last season. Fannin's latest preseason drop and nine-snap outing add short-term concern, but beat coverage does not treat them as evidence of a season-long demotion.
