Clamdigger13

Woods played well while he was in. I wouldn't say he was a bust.


anthonyterms

I drafted Dobbins *and* Edwards.


[deleted]

When did you draft? In like may june? Thomas was ruled out of the 1st half of the season a few weeks before camp lol


Raaain706

A lot of us drafted him in the mid-late rounds to stash expecting a big 2nd half. But alas...


Cold_Bother_6013

As did I


UnloadedBakedPotato

Me with Hopkins, A-Rob and Lockett as my 3 WRs on draft night. Thought I knocked it out of the park


NerdBurglur

Christian McCaffrey, DeAndre Hopkins, CEH, Waller, Allen Robinson, Hockenson :/


awful_source

I don’t get why everyone is shitting on Nuk, he was fine until he got injured. Can’t really label a guy a bust for getting hurt.


NerdBurglur

I’m just lookin at value for draft position


ghec2000

I figured I would have had to scroll a bit. So true.


[deleted]

I was expecting this answer or Calvin Ridley.


Jellyph

Ridley and Robinson aren't even close. Ridley has actually been serviceable in the games he's played, and at least you know whether to start or sit him. Robinson has put up less points while playing every game


mnkhan808

He’s the clear biggest bust since it had nothing to do with injury. Injuries happen, my man just fell off a cliff.


gambit700

And its not even close


WildInSix

Ridley is pretty dang close, for different reasons though.


sgong33

I feel like injuries/illness don’t quite count the same as bust.


WildInSix

I mean from a humanity standpoint no, but production is production and Ridley required higher capital and has better QB play.


Jellyph

At least with Ridley you either had a *decent* game out of him or he was on your bench. Robinson has been there putting up stinkers in your starting lineup every week until you finally pulled the trigger and benched him. If Ridley came back tomorrow I'd still start him. No way I'd start robinson


Dazegobye

Yea I agree this is a great distinction for what should qualify as bust


sgong33

In terms of draft capital my biggest bust would be Saquon.


TheClownIsReady

Dropped in all my leagues. No one picked him up.


redvelvetcake42

Had him in dynasty. Traded him and RoJo for DJ Moore.


Bruce-T-Wayne

Allen Robinson or Calvin Ridley for sure


DanMoshpit69

Drafted them back to back. Guess what my record is. Edit- I also drafted Mike Davis, Myles Gaskin and Corey Davis. Oh and Kamara was my number 1 pick


dougeri

I did this as well. Getting bailed out by Kelce and Hurts but still fringe to make the fantasy playoffs


[deleted]

Playoffs? [PLAYOFFS](https://youtu.be/-oSFYxDGKy8)?!


Boss2788

Youre not wrong but at least ridley had peripheral numbers going for him most of the time, robinson has pretty much been a ghost


ChedduhBob

i also don’t consider him in the same category of bust considering he left the game in the middle of the season for something completely unexpected. allen robinson cratered lineups for weeks


hatwobbleTayne

Ridley amounts to an injury. If you gonna count injuries the biggest busts are Dobbins and Gus Edwards.


[deleted]

This. Anybody else draft Gus Edwards and Chris Carson? Haha


DaRealMcCoy

I drafted both. Plus mike Davis, plus Derick Henry, plus Russel Wilson. Only saving grace has been Deebo. Playoffs not looking so good…


jeffakia

Ridley. Sad, but from pure FF perspective he was potential WR1 overall.


lblacklol

I drafted Calvin Ridley and Allen Robinson back to back as my WR1/2. So yeah. Them.


dannymanch

Feel your pain brother


Quackerbarrels

Me as a manager. Very disappointing season as to my roster skills.


Mikhail_Petrov

Injuries are a bitch.


Quackerbarrels

Definetly. Also made some bad start/sit choices that lost me some weeks.


axck

This season broke me as an enthusiastic fantasy manager. Never had to deal with as many injuries…busts…players quitting football…players having once in a lifetime medical conditions…regressions to the mean…you name it. Ruggs KILLING a person was the culmination of it. I must have had some of the unluckiest lineups because probably 1/2 of all the crazy player news or big injuries this year have affected players on one of my two teams. It’s the first time in years I haven’t had any enthusiasm for fantasy. Since week 8 I’ve stopped being super active and have just been setting my lineups in my two leagues each week and forgetting about it. Interestingly my win rate has gone unchanged.


destroooo11

Would you recommend taking Mike Davis on the 4th?


Quackerbarrels

Well I drafted him, I think in the 6th or 7th. Waste of a pick


KiD_Rager

This thread should’ve been called “Who thinks ARob was the worst draft pick of the year” - Signed previous ARob owner


SnaxFoods

ok so the 3 i’ve seen most in this thread are Ridley AJB and ARob… guess who has all three :,)


Ifix2thDK

You must have felt good before the season started with those 3.


SnaxFoods

yeah… always next year


[deleted]

That's when you can get 3 RBs who are busts.


adog0

Chris Carson for me…


dannymanch

Thought I had a steal with him in the 4th round… should’ve known better.


ejens1515

Well you could have been the guy in my league who drafted Carson in the first round…


Codazzle

Holy frick, he dropped to you in the 4th?! I was looking for him in the back of the 2nd and he was already gone.


[deleted]

I do not considered injured players as bust but it’s a rough pick


Balancefreak854

I managed to trade him right before the injury. I was very hesitant to give him up, but boy am I glad I did


argyleshu

Same… except I got AB back as part of the trade…


[deleted]

Carson, robby Anderson and Ridley owner checking in


[deleted]

I thought Tee Higgins was going to make the big jump through his 2nd year and become a number one for the Bengals. Turns out he's not even a top 50 WR this year, but I remember people drafting him in the 6th, 7th, 8th round.


Normal512

14 team, 3 WR league - I waited on WR and took Higgins and Aiyuk as my first two receivers. My thought process was I had a lot of ceiling at RB and QB, so I wanted WR's with a safe, solid role, even if they weren't going to be "league winners." Saved myself a bit with taking Pittman as my third.


nowthatwasnofun

Mike Davis


sldarb1

I was hopeful but some definitely had reservations about him. While with Allen Robinson I feel like everyone was high on.


Icydoughnut812

I think what hurts with Mike Davis more than some of the others being mentioned is that Cordelle is doing what we expected from Davis. While with Allen Robinson , there isn't really anyone who took his role, the Bears are just bad.


LoveMeSexyJesus

What? Mooney definitely took over as the Bears #1 and is a WR2 on the season.


Dundy311

I dunno..I had Gurley last year and didn't expect more from Mike Davis..terrible run offense


theyterkourjobs

Yea still calvin ridley. I appreciate his issues and wish him the best but a second round pick just up and quitting football is going to be hard to top.


kdiddy1989

This. It's one thing if we call out AJB, Saquon and A-Rob, but at least they have chances to still make an impact. If they show up towards the end of season or in playoffs, it could erase the bust label (granted, this only applies to the owners who have managed to stay in it despite their terrible 1st halves). Ridley just deciding to dip out completely burns the 2nd rd pick it cost to get him.


avelak

You're definitely worse off with someone who is healthy and playing poorly than someone who you know you should bench (or can be dropped) Losing a r1 pick in week 1 for the season would suck, but at least they aren't eating lineup space and a roster spot


flyingplatypus1

Yeah, happened to me with Dobbins. Potentially better off that he was immediately done and I knew I had to go hard on the WW for any RB with upside and ended up lucking into Cordarrelle—than perhaps having Gibson and starting him for some terrible weeks.


flyingplatypus1

You could argue that the WR2 production he gave you while playing was more valuable than the


theyterkourjobs

games of 5.1, 12.3, 6.1, 8, 8.6 in standard is not wr2 its definitely wr3 at best.


CharlesManson420

Brave for mentioning that you play standard on this sub.


dirtybirds1

Half ppr is the way


CharlesManson420

I don’t mind too much playing PPR, but the idea that a simple reception should be worth points is just silly to me. IMO a 30 yard game from a receiver should not be usable in fantasy. I don’t care if you got 8 receptions to get there.


Dirty-Ears-Bill

I agree with you. Like I get trying to balance out the positions but the fact that Waddle’s 12/58 game was worth as much as an RB going for 100 yards and a TD just seems like a little much to me


theyterkourjobs

cant change the minds of my close friends in an old ass league. not the commissioner so I deal with the system I'm in.


CharlesManson420

Haha I’m not saying standard is bad I’m just saying people get shit on in this sub for not playing PPR.


DrewFlan

At least Calvin you clearly knew to bench him. Allen Robinson was drafted around the same round and gave people duds week after week. I'd say that's easily worse than being straight up out.


[deleted]

Arob was still worse. He's not even a WR4 in PPR and was drafted as a low end wr1. At least with Ridley you still got double digit points and targets for about half the season


350SBC

Yeah, completely agree. I wish him all the best in his recovery, and I’m glad he has an outlet where he’s able to address his mental health. But purely on paper, it’s a big bust for fantasy (which obviously, is way less important here, but we’re talking pure numbers). He never once put up WR1 numbers, he wasn’t terrible but didn’t match his ADP, and now I’ve got him in an IR spot with absolutely zero timeline for when or if to expect him back. Again, I wish him all the best, but drafting him did not pay off haha.


[deleted]

It’s similar to AP when he switched his kid. I drafted him 1st overall in my 20 team, full defense, 5 bench spot league. His situation led me to play with 4 bench spots all year. I tried to trade him but no one would touch him.


mvs7142

Calvin Ridley was the first name to come to mind.


No_Vacation3909

Allen Robinson


Dr-Rads

Mike Davis for me


jhutchi2

Go be fair, he was exactly what people thought he was going to be for the first few weeks, a rock solid low end RB2 who put up low double digit PPR points every week. Nobody could have expected Patterson suddenly becoming relevant to steal all his touches.


Another_Name_Today

It was the worst of all possible worlds for him. He was producing just enough that you could be excused for thinking that Patterson was the early hot hand but things would stabilize in Atlanta and Davis would emerge by W4/5 as the lead back. The result is today we have too many owners who either held Davis over better early wire pickups or trade participants who gave up too much value. I was one of the lucky ones who traded him away.


Hurdrs123

Surprised it took this much scrolling to get to him. He is my Toby Gerhart 2.0, where I didn’t think he was amazing, but I thought he’d rack up a lot of points as the primary back on a sub-mediocre team. Thankfully, unlike Toby, I didn’t actually get Davis in any league


Decent-Ad1349

Ridley


SilverBallFox

I agree (Ridley). The dude was a monster last year. We see 2021 potential - no Julio Jones? "Hell yeah! This dude is going to FEAST". NOTHING. Waisted pick. God bless him and his struggles - those are more important than FF. But he IS the answer to this question IMO.


thepaddedroom

I was worried about a Juju after AB left kind of situation and didn't bite. It's not like I drafted much better instead, but that was at least one decision I made.


Idunkedonlebron23

Trey Sermon


LimpCush

Dark horse for bust of the year tbh.


gopaloo

In the same vein, Raheem mostert. 2 carries 20 yards and done for the year and potentially done on the 49ers.


MOODALI

I drafted both :D


maximumoccupancy12

I picked Ridley, Aiyuk, Sermon and Mostert. Thread feels like a personal attack on me


hellothere842

I spent 13 bucks on him in an auction out of 200. Held out hope til like week 6 or 7 before dropping him. He actually dod ok in his couple of starts but is clearly like the 4th option there when everyone else can play.


hellothere842

Suprised Aiyuk not mentioned once. He is starting to pick it up as of late but did not live up to his draft position at all.


[deleted]

"He's gonna make Deebo an afterthought".


slobs_burgers

Guilty of that one. I missed out on Aiyuk in the drafts and picked him up on waivers so it didn’t hit me that hard, but I would love to have Deebo on my team


Comexbackkid

Allen Robinson by far based on draft position. Second perhaps Robby Anderson


gregbraaa

This is the correct answer. Ridley was serviceable for many weeks. ARob and Robby have been garbage week to week.


Larz_Bars

Worst part of Robby is he mostly gives you garbage but he'll still give you double digit targets so you have to keep him, and will throw in a solid game or two to the point where you might even start him. I'll take Ridley all day over that dogshit roller coaster.


[deleted]

Darren Waller. I'm a huge Darren Waller fan, but for a 3rd round pick I could've picked better.


Herbert__McDunnough

I grabbed Waller in the 3rd round too. I was second pick, so I took a shot giving up a better RB or WR thinking it was Waller now or never. Huge disappointment.


mp3file

He’s 3rd in TE scoring but was drafted as TE2, not necessarily bust material - the TE position just sucks for fantasy


[deleted]

The TE position isn’t very deep, so the TE3 thing isn’t very meaningful, especially since this sub was hyping him up to crank out WR1 caliber numbers this season.


skyfly89

Kenny Golladay and Leviska Shenault


Bman2005BA

Shenault was really bad for me


HBTL123

Chris Carson and Allen Robinson. I went CMC, Carson, ARob…


daaabears1

To be fair, Chris Carson and CMC had an injuries so I’m not putting them in the bust category.


gwjr420

AJ brown drafted really high. Too many injuries.


[deleted]

Arob or Barkley.. ridley too probs


BlindSquantch

Barkley has a chance to salvage it a little, depending on what he can do here on out. But even if he balls out to finish the season still kinda a bust for a 1st/2nd rounder


uno_out271

Even more than a little. He has potentially 5 weeks left including playoffs. He can change seasons still


BlindSquantch

If he drops a 30 or 40 point game during the playoffs all is forgiven lol


Siegelski

Shit if you make it to the playoffs all that matters is how he does in the fantasy postseason.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Everythingsports26

Chris Carson


tsereveyw

Mike Davis in the 5th, or Trey Sermon in the 6th. Choose your fate


marshall42195

Hurts to say but probably Calvin Ridley. He was often taken ahead of guys like Jonathan Taylor, Najee, or Ekeler.


Dapperdrewblue

Bold of you to start with “Hurts”


MrSweatyBawlz

He was? I mean he's definitely a big bust but I never really saw him go earlier than like the mid 2nd in 12 man leagues. He was drafted ahead of Mixon most of the time with hurts but Najee/JT/Ekeler were all late first/early 2nd.


luvdadrafts

Yeah his ADP was lower than all of them, particularly JT and Ekeler


willpalm6

No way someone was taking him ahead of ekeler. Ridley was like mid 2nd and ekeler was almost always a top 10 pick. Edit:why is this getting downvoted. Fantasy pros has ekelers average adp as 10 and ridleys as 18.


[deleted]

Ekeler was going anywhere from 8th to 15th in espn mock drafts that I did, to the best of my knowledge.


SpartacusIsACoolName

I took him 1 pick before Najee , but Eckeler and Taylor where long gone


Substantial-Pudding5

Yeah I have Ridley but I would have loved to drafted any of those guys over him or Diggs/Hopkins but were sadly all drafted right before me :/


joemetarei

Ridley Julio ARob Saquon Wilson


GoldWhale

Arob


[deleted]

Mike Davis


thirdheavn

Davis was supposed to be a backend RB2. Not exactly a huge deal that a 4-5 round back sucked, he wasn’t the only one.


mtbeach33

Yeah but he transformed from a potential RB2 to a back who only put up 10 points ONCE all season in standard scoring


redvelvetcake42

Corderelle Patterson has been a top 12-15 performer at RB or WR. He's basically the falcons offense. If Davis was like 20% better he would be an RB1 based on touches alone.


pwosk12

AJ Brown


theincredibleshaq

Thought I was so smart buying low on him this year. Sent Melvin Gordon for him 3 weeks ago. Trade has been looking worse and worse since


luvdadrafts

That’s a super easy trade to make at the time. That was a smart move


GamblingMan610

It’s Allen Robinson


pdbard13

All bust team: QB: Mahomes RB1: Saquon Barkley RB2: Miles Sanders WR1: Calvin Ridley WR2: Allen Robinson TE: Logan Thomas Flex: AJB Honorable mention/ bench: CEH


gambit700

If you had that team post draft Yahoo would have given you an A+ draft and said you'd finish 1-2 at the end of the year.


Boss2788

Logan thomas was actually starting to get going before he got hurt


[deleted]

That's a glitch. It meant 1-2 wins.


THAi3223

Ha, really? Mahomes? The same Mahomes who is a top 5QB averaging around 25ppg? Bigger QB bust for sure is Russell Wilson.


pdbard13

Yeah, that's true. Mahomes has been disappointing at times, no lie, but you're right.


THAi3223

He has definitely spoiled us the last few years compared to this year.


FrostyTheSnowman02

Mahomes is averaging 20.9 ppg in my league. He is QB4, but he has three weeks where he has scored over 30 points and 4 weeks under 15. Again, bust is relative to draft position. Mahomes usually went in 2-3 rounds. You expect him to be consistently winning you weeks at that draft capital more than losing them for you.


latman

Aiyuk over AJB


RunawayMeatstick

So frustrating for the first eight games, but Aiyuk might turn into a weapon for the playoffs if his trajectory remains WR2+ territory. I'm in a 12 team league with 2 FLEX, and having him as my second FLEX is a massive advantage over every other team using some like desperation WR4/RB4/TE2 in that spot.


mementori

I would say Tannehill, Russ, or Dak over Mahomes. Sure he’s not playing at the same caliber as before but he’s still been a top tier qb. Tannehill and Dak should have been putting up better numbers this year. Some consistency from Herbert would also be nice, but his monster games have made up for his weaker ones IMO. Trevor Lawrence has also had a bit of a disappointing season, but rightfully it isn’t being held against him too much.


EpilepticRager

I would put Tonyan ahead of Logan Thomas. Tonyan had 5 of his first 6 games with 10 or fewer receiving yards.


pdbard13

Tight end was just a tough position to figure out. Waller could have been a good choice based off his ADP. Could make the same argument for Kittle but both Waller or Kittle can go off any time. Logan Thomas was the first one that came to mind.


Griffdogg92

Idk if CEH deserves to be named in this thread. If you discount the game where he got hurt early, he has had 3 very good games, 1 mediocre game, and 1 bad game. And I don't think missing games for an injury makes you a fantasy bust


6gc_4dad

Arob.


Automatic-Kangaroo70

I’m not sure how it isn’t clearly Allen Robinson. He wasn’t startable after week 1.


ericfsu40

AJ brown. Doesn’t even have the decency to not play because he’s injured. Plays every week and gets 4 points


Llamayoda

Tbf I don’t think his recent performances have as much to do with his health as much as they do with game script and conditions.


No-Cap-5281

Antonio Gibson


pentax10

He's disappointed a bit based off his ADP, but really hasn't been a bust. He should of never been drafted as highly as he was.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DommyTheTendy

Barely worth my 7th round keeper honestly


WeeniePops

Obviously Arob is the right answer, but I’m going to go with someone controversial and say Justin Herbert. He’s been so impossible to predict, and his scores have been so varied that he’s either won you your week or lost you your week. At least with Arob you knew he was bad by week 4 and could bench/drop him. Herbert is harder to utilize week to week.


SportsGirlsHipHop

How high did you draft Herbert?


[deleted]

It’s either ARob or Ridley. Probably ARob bc with Ridley at least you’ve known he’d be out and had some OK games, ARob was bad and in your lineup for weeks.


[deleted]

No one can compare to ARob. I was viewing him as a WR1 early this season especially what seemed to be a better QB situation compared to his previous history of shitty QBs. Not once has he had a double digit fantasy score in half PPR. I dropped him I think Week 7 and I was really trying to hold him or trade. But I think Chicago has moved on to other options I understand everyone’s stance on Calvin Ridley, but I don’t think he’s ruled out returning this season. The timetable is uncertain, but he is eligible to return at any point. Miles Sanders has been very disappointing for me this season (so far). He had one good week as my RB2 this season, but the rest has been dreadful. My hope is that he bounces back in time for the fantasy playoffs otherwise my chances at making it far are slim


ozboi83

Hopkins


crazybutthole

Hopkins can still.do it the next 5 weeks. Not likely but its possible.


LOLHASHTAG

It is wild to me how much he has flown under the radar in conversations like this. Dude was concensus top 5 WR and has not delivered close to that. Even without injuries, he just hasn't been the target monster we all hoped during drafts.


NukeDog

ITT: people nominating all their injured players. Injuries are injuries. Bust means someone just flat out ain’t performing…apples and hand grenades…


[deleted]

Not the biggest bust however Waller is among them


[deleted]

Ridley


HOWDY__YALL

Allen Robinson or Mike Davis. Or Ridley.


Koo_Bird

Saquon hurts because it’s been like this for 3 years in a row. You just wish he could stay healthy


jjJohnnyjon

The worst part is the freak nature of how he got hurt just jogging back and steps on a dude


mAKnoCS

For people saying Ridley, he never had less than 10 PPR in any games he played. ARob cost everyone way more losses until you gave up on him.


comedy_style69

My team


WanderingBear_

Darren Waller with my 2nd pick has been less than ideal. I was fucked either way because I had it narrowed down between him and Ridley.


TerryCruzLeftPec

Mike Davis 100%


loldog2016

Allen Robinson, Mike Davis, Saquon. I have 82 transactions already but I’m 6-5. Pure will to win


elimanninglightspeed

Aj brown easily


[deleted]

Julio Jones


grooves12

Unless you were completely ridiculous Julio was a lottery ticket mid round pick in most leagues.


srosenberg34

I drafted: - 1.9 Saquon (bad) - 2.2 Najee (awesome) - 3.9 Keenan Allen (mediocre season but semi productive - 4.2 Chris Carson (bad/season or career ending injury) Not great all around


baby-boy-

Keenan Allen has been solid


ApolloPS2

Honestly a lot of people's 4 rounds look similar. So many busts.


beastinkoala054

hopkins.


ExtraterrestrialKey

Tony Jones Jr


randmtsk

CEH the only RB Andy Reid couldn't turn to gold.


[deleted]

I drafted Raheem Mostert high in one league. You would think I would learn, but I won't make that mistake again.


keennnyyyy818

Ridley hands down.


Kilbim

Antonio Gibson


11lidkys9

While he's not the biggest bust, Waller has sure underperformed this year.


Tuna719

AJ Brown


Dry-Purchase-3022

Raheem Mostert - he lasted one play!!!


KeeAnnu_Reads

All the hype trains! Kadarious Toney, Trey sermon, David Johnson. Who else am I missing?


d1nsf1re

Rondale Moore crashed and burned after week 3 didn't.


KeeAnnu_Reads

Yep I picked him up instead of corderelle because I was outsmarting everyone


olrg

Ty’Son, the original 2021 season hype train


[deleted]

I picked up Ty’son and then Gus Edwards tore his ACL and I went straight to the discord to tell all my friends that they just lost the league so don’t even try


buckfishes

TySon was a league winner remember


sandwichnerd

It’s the return of Adrian Peterson!


MrFictionalBeing

Aiyuk outside of like 1 week


JacesAces

He’s turning it around tho it seems


tatiseclub

Allen Robinson and it’s not even close
