fantasy busts

[Blake]

Fucking Ray Rice.

lol i got to my computer too late. Yahoo stuck him on me in the first round.

[spurraider21]

MJD so far. lousy week 1, and an injury on 2nd and goal early in week 2... he led the league in rushing in Gabbert's rookie year, so I thought he'd be able to produce anyway

[Holden_Caulfield]

gore mjd d.wilson

[Blake]

Wilson for sure.

CJ spiller still not living up to his potential with Jackson poaching

[symple19]

Roddy White. Goddamn Falcons covered up the fact that he had a high ankle sprain before the season started

[Chief Brody]

gore mjd d.wilson
It's crazy how hard RB's crash when they hit 30

[spurraider21]

steven Jackson injured on queue

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Ridley has been a big bust imo. Kinda like when Sammy Morris went down and Laurence Maroney owners thought they hit the jackpot when Belichick was never gonna give Maroney a full workload cause he was a pussy.

[monosylab1k]

I don't even bother drafting RB's early anymore, way too risky, they all platoon now, and always get hurt. I go straight for a QB and two top tier receivers, then worry about RB's. Assplay is probably the only RB i'd draft early, possibly Lynch or Foster.

With that said, i've taken a pretty severe assramming from MJD and Steven Jackson both.

[DPG21920]

Would people buy low on MJD though? Doesn't look good when healthy, and he's injured now, but if it costs Bowe? Or is that too much to give up (PPR league, standard scoring)

[Holden_Caulfield]

it was known. he missed the last two preseason because of it?

That o-line may be such dogshit that MJD might suck all year. I though i was getting him as a later round steal but he's easily been my worst performer both weeks.

[DPG21920]

Would you take a Bowe for him? I feel that is pretty close to normal value and not even a real "sell low" guy in return tbh..

[Holden_Caulfield]

i have mjd in 4 of 5 league :bang and im benching him this week against Seattle

[The Reckoning]

Roddy White. Goddamn Falcons covered up the fact that he had a high ankle sprain before the season started


i sold him high as soon as they revealed he would be a decoy. it has paid off big time.


sudfeld was a huge bust. eddie lacy is not looking good at the moment. hopefully kaep can recover after that abomination.


arian foster is in to not be a bust, but seriously taper off in production this year. wouldn't be surprised if he ends up sharing more workload with ben tate imo.


golden tate blooooows even with percy harvin out. reggie bush lateral is injury prone as always. seems like there are so many injuries this season it's ridiculous.

[symple19]

it was known. he missed the last two preseason because of it?

No, they said he had an ankle injury, not a high ankle sprain


Big fuckin difference. Even rotowire was fooled

[DPG21920]

I just traded for MJD. It was Bowe/Tate for MJD/Stevie Johnson

[Holden_Caulfield]

too soon junior

[DPG21920]

Really, is Bowe going to out perform Stevie badly by year end? Bowe is obviously better, but the Alex Smith isn't looking too promising from a "break out" perspective. Tate is damn good and if Foster is hurt, well, he's gold.

However, MJD, while looking terrible, injured and playing a tough schedule, is still the highest upside player in the deal. I feel I gave up more than fair value based on the above concerns, but nothing so great it hurts me if he does not work out. With my team, I needed a higher upside RB and I wasn't willing to trade Dez/AJ Green to do so. Bowe was my only piece and I got Stevie in return which a solid WR3.

[Holden_Caulfield]

the trade was fair, its just that its only week 2.

[DPG21920]

So 12 man, PPR, Standard Scoring League:

QB: RG3/Romo
WR: AJ Green/Dez Bryant/Stevie Johnson/Greg Jennings/Kenbrell Thompkins/Percy Harvin
RB: MJD/Lamar Miller/Giovani Bernard/Joique Bell
TE: Bennett/Fred Davis

Bernard made me a happy guy last night.

[DPG21920]

Bernard made me a happy guy last night.

Hopefully he gets more and more touches. I was counting on that some when I drafted him.

[kamikazi_player]

I saw T-rich on my friends team last year and I thought he was going to get me at least 10-15 points a game. So far he's been a bust and hopefully he can pick it up

[Raven]

Ridley is kinda overrated, personally i expected both him and R. Wilson to fumble it and get pwned after that.. I still think he is good, but expecting him to be a workhorse with BB was kinda naive.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Same here, I drafted him knowing he would be behind BGE, but also knowing that he would have opportunities. He's earned my last flex position for now.

My busts so far have been D Wilson and Ray Rice - I'm hoping Rice can get it together once fully healthy again, Wilson on the other hand has a plethora of things going on right now, but I'm still holding on to hope.

[Blake]

I dropped Wilson in the leagues i had him

[JoeTait75]

I think T-Rich's production will improve once Josh Gordon and the injured starters on the OL return. Still, he needs to stop dancing around, stick his foot in the ground and get downhill.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I dropped Wilson in the leagues i had him

Wow, I can't justify dropping one of my higher picks just yet; especially in my 12 man league. It's competitive as hell leaving the waiver wire always stripped clean.

Meh. He pissed me off.

And I'd be surprised if he suddenly goes stud.

[DPG21920]

Blake is cold blooded lol

After Vereen went down it seemed like he'd almost have to be a workhorse by default.

[hehateme]

They need to add in an injured player feature once a week so you can sub out Andre Johnson each week he gets hurt during the 1st/2nd quarters...this guy really pisses me off sometimes.

[Raven]

he still should be, until the next time he fumbles..

[Blake]

CJ Spiller is killing me in two leagues.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

CJ Spiller is killing me in two leagues.

This..... I thought I won the lottery when I was able to get Spiller, Lynch, D. Wilson, and MJD. :(

[TrainOfThought5]

Biggest bust so far out of all my leagues is C Kap.

Followed by Ray Rice.

then maybe Miles Austin.

[symple19]

CJ Spiller is killing me in two leagues.

Yep. Killing me in the ST league as well

He's supposed to be okay for next week, but I'm starting to get the feeling he's gonna be that guy that has one good week followed by 2 or 3 awful ones
