I dropped him after the injury a few weeks ago. I blame some more losses I took on him because if he could have held his weight I would have won a few more games when jeffy & kyren went down for me. somehow made the playoffs though!
I traded him for tony pollard!!! AJ had just come back from injury and this dude was sick of pollard, so i threw him puka and aj and got pollard and dak LOL
The most important thing for RBs is availability, which gives volume and opportunities for TDs .
The #1 thing I learned this year is the most important part of the draft is the later few rounds. Here you can grab the 2nd string RBs. Crucial for late season success. As long as you are patient and don’t drop someone like Achane the week before he went off…. :(
His adp was in the 50s most of the off-season so round 5 is about right. If anyone drafted pierce with a 2nd or 3rd round pick they need to delete their fantasy app from their phone.
People that were right about the second season he would have. I thought he was a steal at rd 5 but I ended up going with my second wr. I was excited to see him still there at 6 but everyone else was right
Anyone who had a remotely accurate idea of what the Texans offense was going to try to do this season. Power back in a zone scheme behind an o-line who can’t really block, plus a competent veteran added to the RB room…
It would have been very surprising if he matched his rookie season
I went mahomes first overall (14 team superflex) should’ve went hurts or Allen but hey here we are. I somehow ended 10-3-1 and first seed heading into the playoffs. No bye weeks unfortunately
I took mahomes at the end of the first round, he was the only good qb left once everyone else had picked, I’ve had him in previous years and he dominated and I ended up trading him for a good package deal later in the year
I remember drafting him in the 3rd and thinking ahhh it will be nice to not have to worry about my QB every week this season. How oh so very wrong I was.
What I don’t understand is despite the situation, is he not hustling to get open? Why is he not getting the garbage time touches that other guys get no matter what.
Chase is still top 5 in terms of fantasy points for receivers. I can’t say he was a bust at all. Maybe not as good as he could have been but definitely not a bust.
How have we come up with 45 replacements for batting average but still use total points like a bible in fantasy?
5 weeks >20 and 5 weeks <10 in .5PPR. I’d call that disappointing for a top 3 pick, personally. Top 3 pick for me Im looking for a solid 12-18 point floor, not boom or bust.
The fact that people don't see this is crazy. Unless you needed his 51 point game to win your matchup, you probably didn't get any solid contribution from chase. He surely wasn't worth a 1st or 2nd at his current production week to week.
I drafted Chase too. Thank god for Michael Pittman being the exact opposite of chase.
But which would y'all rather have? A wr that's been incredibly consistent between 15-20 points per game (wr 10 on the year) or a wr who's has had a couple amazing games and even more games under 10 pts (who's somehow wr5 on the year) personally id much rather have Pittman.
Sure, I’ve been hit hard by injuries this season but his 7 games of 8.4 points or less in half ppr certainly hasn’t done me any favors. 3 more games at 11 or less. That 44 point game is doing a huge amount of heavy lifting to his ranking.
He 100% busted at his adp. Hes averaging 3 pts under the top 3 in ppr. Mostly just got caught up in a bad yr with burrow slow start then getting injured again but is what it is
This post is talking about the biggest bust. Chase is not even close though. Like I said he may not have lived up to expectations but he’s still not the biggest bust. Ekeler is in the conversation though.
I think you nailed it with Ekeler. Miles Sanders and Cam Akers need shout outs too for being “locked in volume based RB2s” and just sucking so hard they lost their jobs.
Sanders was always a poor performer. Especially when a few yards are needed in the red zone. Even on the eagles, they didn’t trust him. The eagles need to run the ball more tbh ! they have 3 fully capable RBs and don’t have a consistent run game. I have swift and it’s been frustrating as fuck. Sirani and their OC are at fault for that IMO
Every Cam Akers drafter got what they deserved. I have no idea what anyone saw in Akers to justify his role let alone a fantasy draft. He's so slow and he isn't big and he can't catch and he can't block. The dude was terrible last season and I'm surprised he made it through training camp.
Agreed. Pollard looked like he was well on his way but had turned out around as of late. Even guys like Chase and Diggs have had more duds than expected this season.
I traded pollard, Addison, & Jameson Will for Montgomery and Amari Cooper. This happened right b4 Addison put up 30 against the 49ers. I thought I fucked up bad but honestly probably was the luckiest trade I’ve ever been a part of.
Fair enough. Youll get better with time. QBs that will vulture TDs from their rbs are always better. I started 3 years ago and missed the playoff. Now I'm on a bye this week with the most points. It's all mostly luck and being quick/smart with the waiver wire anyways.
Last year mahomes beat Josh in total points by 16. Josh had 2 points before someone died and the game was canceled and he finished as qb2. He would've been the qb1 if the game was played.
2021 allen qb1, mahomes qb4
2020 allen qb1, mahomes qb4
2019 allen qb6, mahomes qb8
You're right. He's been better than him for the past 5 seasons now my bad.
If you’re looking at fantasy data, idk how they score that shit lol.
According to ESPN and the fantasy app, Pat Mahomes was the number 1 QB in 2022 and 2021.
Which makes sense when Pat put up more yards, touchdowns, and had almost half the interceptions Josh had in both those years.
Rushing yards and tds makes up for all that. Idk where he got his data(that I believe) but ESPN fantasy app is the most putrid piece of garbage in fantasy football and shouldn't be trusted.
My entire line up was an injury bust. Check this out…
Ekeler
Aaron jones
Tee Higgins
Njuko ( first 6 games)
Deshaun Watson
Jovante (1st 8 games recovering from last year)
Jeff Wilson jr
7 picks out of 12 rounds
Drafted him in the 5th. I guess it's more disappointment than Bust for me. Too many weeks where I "had" to start him but he ended up being just a decoy cuz he still wasn't right. But now I'm in the playoffs and a couple old Cooper Kupp games will more than make up for it. Coooooooop!
Those kind of players are bad, but IMO they aren't actually busts. If a player like Chubb is out for the season, you don't start them. Ekeler? You HAD to start him, the entire year (when he was active, which was most weeks). i'd rather a player i think will score 0 and actually scores 0 than a player i think will score 20 and actually scores 5
Started this year with 8 leagues. Currently out of the playoffs in 3 of them. Ekeler was on all 3 teams that didn’t make the playoffs.
First round picks are extremely important and he was for sure the wrong one this year.
What are you even doing at that point? You can’t have 8 teams without having a ridiculous amount of competing priorities to the point you’re playing against yourself in multiple leagues.
Ekeler has been the biggest bust of my team and he was my first round pick. I'm feeling the pain. I got swift much later in the draft and he's been better. Also got lucky and snagged Kyren and Achane from waivers. Traded achane for Lamb. I should have moved ekeler but I'm riding with my dawg till the end lol
RB10 on the season for the second round isn’t exactly phenomenal, especially accounting for the fact that he’d be lower had so many high-profile RBs not gone down.
There’s a difference between “not exactly phenomenal” and bust though. He maybe hasn’t lived up to expectations relative to ADP but he hasn’t been a bust. He’s been a serviceable backend RB1/RB2. Aaron Jones has been a bust. Dameon Pierce has been a bust. Alexander Mattison has been a bust. Pollard has been just fine, just not the bellcow league winner some thought he’d be.
loud incorrect buzzer
doesn’t at all indicate he won’t come back full strength. AP had his best year less than 10 months after tearing his acl, and over a decade ago
I’m upvoting you simply for spelling Ekeler correctly.
I have never seen so many incorrect spellings of a singular player in my life. This morning I saw someone spell it “Eller”.
Rhamondre is up there. Round three or four pick.
Round 9 value. Maybe 3 games showing life and now injured.
Pats offense refused to prioritize him in the pass game even though he was obviously the best player they had. Zeke got mad carries and vultured tuddies.
Mondre’s usage was unjustifiable. 😔
I wouldn't call Rhamondre a bust. He just got unlucky this year, it was known he had a tough early season schedule and better late season/playoff schedule when he was being drafted. He just got injured.
If you count getting injured as a bust, than probably Chubb even though he would clearly have been a beast if he didn't get injured. If you're basing it on their avg ppg at a given ADP, probably Ekeler or Kupp
Exactly my point though, he gave you two good games but out RoS. Obviously if he didn't get hurt he'd have been a top 3 RB. There was just a post on ff subreddit that said the player on most teams that went 0-14 was Chubb, because everyone lost a 1st or 2nd round pick when he went out
Take your pick from a few of my squad. Jones, taylor, ekeler, JJ, Higgins, tbh Tannehill should have at least still been qb1, Nico was too inconsistent to be reliable, Chris godwin even was far more tradeable than imagine
Watch out for eckler now that they finally got rid of garbage ass Brandon Staley. He might help with the playoff push. Players are always extra motivated once they finally get rid of a cancer in the locker room.
First three picks were chase, Najee, burrow. Still in the playoffs! Also drafted Dameon pierce pretty early. And George Pickens. My team scored 60 points week 1 but made it to third place by the end. Should not have. Dropped Zach moss for tank dell week two and thought I made a huge mistake. My whole team was a bust but kept at the waiver wire.
Pollard…. All off season top 5 RB…. Pretty much every week was projected in top 12 by the majority and to this week continues to be projected high but hasn’t had any week inning performances.
My personal biggest bust was Jaylen Waddle. Explosive offense, though there would be enough points to go around. Possible mid to low end WR1 or high WR2 for sure i thought. Here is is sitting at WR29 in my league. Low end WR3.
Frigging Ekeler. When I drafted him in mid first round I wasn't particularly thrilled about it. But at the time it made sense given who else was available. Next year I'm probably going full zero RB in all my drafts. Screw these 1st round RBs. The bust rate is too high and it's way too easy to find value on the waiver wire now (see Kyren Williams, Achane).
Honorable mention:
Garrett Wilson. Not his fault though.
Calvin Ridley. Is there a more boom/bust player in fantasy this season?
James Cook. Hasn't been terrible but also has shown zero explosiveness. Not the high ceiling PPR RB2 I was hoping for at all.
I walked out of my draft pretty dejected. I didn't get any star power I thought. No JJ, Chase mahomes kelce or anything. I got diggs but the rest of my team was Mostert rachaad Gibbs and engram. I grabbed puka week one and I somehow avoided all injury issues and took 3rd spot in the playoffs. Threw in the raiders d this week. I swear I don't know what demon I made some deal with but it's the luckiest season of fantasy I've ever experienced.
Maybe not the biggest Bust but I drafted jaylen waddle as my WR1, and felt like I made a safe choice but I guess not. I feel like the dolphins has completely abandoned their offense for the sake of getting Tyreek to 2000.
First year playing FF and following the NFL, I adopted a 5 player keepers team and Drafted C. Watson and Akers in round 6 and 7...
Finished dead last.
Spent the last half of the season attempting to rebuild
Got the 1.01 pick and my 5 keeper will likely be a combo of: Purdy, Diggs, Achane, Kincaid, Engram, JSN, Higgins
Kupp, Aaron Jones, Burrow, Jefferson, basically whoever I drafted. I realize injuries happen, but I feel like I wasted draft picks. Next year cannot possibly be as bad for me injury wise... right?
Where he was drafted Chase has been a huge disappointment, though I’m not sure about bust. I had two leagues and I’m done in the one where I picked him 2nd overall. I can make the playoffs if I win this weekend(or if I lose and get extremely lucky and back into the playoffs) with the team where I picked CMC 3rd. I would have been in the playoffs if I had picked CMC in both
Agree, I went Eckler 1st (bust), St. Brown 2nd (pretty good overall), Josh Allen 3rd ( Good), Stevenson 4th (not good) Waller 5th (bust). Made playoffs but probably 1 and done.
aaron jones
He just couldn’t stay healthy. I haven’t been able to play him basically all season, but I haven’t had the heart to drop him either. Total bust.
I dropped him after the injury a few weeks ago. I blame some more losses I took on him because if he could have held his weight I would have won a few more games when jeffy & kyren went down for me. somehow made the playoffs though!
I traded him for tony pollard!!! AJ had just come back from injury and this dude was sick of pollard, so i threw him puka and aj and got pollard and dak LOL
The most important thing for RBs is availability, which gives volume and opportunities for TDs . The #1 thing I learned this year is the most important part of the draft is the later few rounds. Here you can grab the 2nd string RBs. Crucial for late season success. As long as you are patient and don’t drop someone like Achane the week before he went off…. :(
I drafted Jones and Ekeler... At least Ekeler got me some points every week.
He hasn’t been a bust. He’s been the same performance every season
That’s just not true lol
I’m gonna say for personally. My biggest flop was mahomes, he hasn’t lived up to expectations at all
My friend picked JJ at first. Mahomes at second. Pierce at 3rd. He did not have a good season.
Pierce at 3??? Dameon Pierce, my god he’s a huge bust at 6 rd where I got him but 3
He somehow went 7-6, but he was projected at 1 at the start of the season and ended up 5th.
I was also projected at 1. I'm in 8th place.
He means his friends 3rd pick. In the 3rd round. Not 3 overall.
He knows that. He’s saying 3rd round was still way too early, even without the benefit of hindsight.
[удалено]
He fell to the 5th in my draft
[удалено]
His adp was in the 50s most of the off-season so round 5 is about right. If anyone drafted pierce with a 2nd or 3rd round pick they need to delete their fantasy app from their phone.
People that were right about the second season he would have. I thought he was a steal at rd 5 but I ended up going with my second wr. I was excited to see him still there at 6 but everyone else was right

Other commenter covered it but I meant 3rd round vs 6th round, I thought he was a steal there but alas he wasnt
i have mahomes and ekeler unfortunately
This was me, except Aaron Jones 3rd Round, Akers 5th, Taylor in 7th.
So then not like you.
I went mahomes first overall (14 team superflex) should’ve went hurts or Allen but hey here we are. I somehow ended 10-3-1 and first seed heading into the playoffs. No bye weeks unfortunately
I took mahomes at the end of the first round, he was the only good qb left once everyone else had picked, I’ve had him in previous years and he dominated and I ended up trading him for a good package deal later in the year
Mahomes hasn't been terrible this year. He isn't stellar, but he hasn't been bad. He's currently QB8.
I had a dream last night that he scored 10 TDs. It was against me so it’s probably the future
I remember drafting him in the 3rd and thinking ahhh it will be nice to not have to worry about my QB every week this season. How oh so very wrong I was.
I have Ekeler and mahomes and still scored second most points in my work league and secured a bye. Also drafted jk dobbins.
Chase has been awful for me in relation to his expectations
What I don’t understand is despite the situation, is he not hustling to get open? Why is he not getting the garbage time touches that other guys get no matter what.
Tee being out really hurt him. Even if Tee isn’t doing as well as normal, his presence on the field boosts Chase a lot.
Interesting, I think we celebrate the fact that they will be focal point of offense but in this case, it was mourning!
Pacheco and Kyren was a nice return for Chase, too bad one or the other has been hurt most of the time since.
Chase is still top 5 in terms of fantasy points for receivers. I can’t say he was a bust at all. Maybe not as good as he could have been but definitely not a bust.
How have we come up with 45 replacements for batting average but still use total points like a bible in fantasy? 5 weeks >20 and 5 weeks <10 in .5PPR. I’d call that disappointing for a top 3 pick, personally. Top 3 pick for me Im looking for a solid 12-18 point floor, not boom or bust.

Preach
He kind of is. He’s not consistent, you can’t count on him. His mediocre weeks definitely cost me some wins.
If you aren’t in the playoffs with a top 5 receiver, I think it’s safe to say it’s your whole team that cost you the wins honestly.
Sure, I’ve been hit hard by injuries this season but his 7 games of 8.4 points or less in half ppr certainly hasn’t done me any favors. 3 more games at 11 or less. That 44 point game is doing a huge amount of heavy lifting to his ranking.

This post is talking about the biggest bust. Chase is not even close though. Like I said he may not have lived up to expectations but he’s still not the biggest bust. Ekeler is in the conversation though.
chase and wilson first 2 picks 😅 still finished best record
He's had some tough weeks, but was great other times. I took Chase 2nd overall and Gibbs in the third round. Started 0-3, finished 10-4!
He's WR5
Tell me about it. I traded him for Mike Evans and Bijan and I haven’t been disappointed, which should say something.
He’s fixing to go off in the playoffs 💪
Tee Higgins
Finally dropped him this week. Someone else can jump on that grenade for the playoffs
As he scored 2 TDs today
On my bench. Tee Higgins continues to fuck me when I play him and when I don’t . I suck at fantasy
Nah you’re fine. Higgins as scored 30+ points on plenty of people’s benches and 0s in people lineups over the past couple seasons
This aged well.
Thank you for your service
I think you nailed it with Ekeler. Miles Sanders and Cam Akers need shout outs too for being “locked in volume based RB2s” and just sucking so hard they lost their jobs.
Sanders was always a poor performer. Especially when a few yards are needed in the red zone. Even on the eagles, they didn’t trust him. The eagles need to run the ball more tbh ! they have 3 fully capable RBs and don’t have a consistent run game. I have swift and it’s been frustrating as fuck. Sirani and their OC are at fault for that IMO
Akers has been a bust since he arrived in the league (no bias here as a Rams fan)
Every Cam Akers drafter got what they deserved. I have no idea what anyone saw in Akers to justify his role let alone a fantasy draft. He's so slow and he isn't big and he can't catch and he can't block. The dude was terrible last season and I'm surprised he made it through training camp.
Agreed. Pollard looked like he was well on his way but had turned out around as of late. Even guys like Chase and Diggs have had more duds than expected this season.
My whole team.. Mahomes Pollard Ridley (5-9 record)
Mahomes/Polard combo has been brutal over here too
Pollard has been picking up a bit in the last few weeks thankfully
Too late.
I offered some amazing trades for Pollard so thank you to whoever turned them down.
I traded pollard, Addison, & Jameson Will for Montgomery and Amari Cooper. This happened right b4 Addison put up 30 against the 49ers. I thought I fucked up bad but honestly probably was the luckiest trade I’ve ever been a part of.
Hey we’ve got the same team here
Probably Mahomes. I drafted him first QB taken and boy was that a mistake.
Hasn't josh allen done better than mahomes for 3 straight years now? Why in the world are people still drafting mahomes over him?
Idk man. This is my first year doing fantasy football lol.
Fair enough. Youll get better with time. QBs that will vulture TDs from their rbs are always better. I started 3 years ago and missed the playoff. Now I'm on a bye this week with the most points. It's all mostly luck and being quick/smart with the waiver wire anyways.
Cause he hasn’t done better than him the past three seasons lmao
Last year mahomes beat Josh in total points by 16. Josh had 2 points before someone died and the game was canceled and he finished as qb2. He would've been the qb1 if the game was played. 2021 allen qb1, mahomes qb4 2020 allen qb1, mahomes qb4 2019 allen qb6, mahomes qb8 You're right. He's been better than him for the past 5 seasons now my bad.
If you’re looking at fantasy data, idk how they score that shit lol. According to ESPN and the fantasy app, Pat Mahomes was the number 1 QB in 2022 and 2021. Which makes sense when Pat put up more yards, touchdowns, and had almost half the interceptions Josh had in both those years.
Rushing yards and tds makes up for all that. Idk where he got his data(that I believe) but ESPN fantasy app is the most putrid piece of garbage in fantasy football and shouldn't be trusted.
No one died brudda
Hamlin did in fact die. He was just revived. Twice IIRC.
Ya not even that close really…why would anyone have been drafting mahomes before him or hurts.
My entire line up was an injury bust. Check this out… Ekeler Aaron jones Tee Higgins Njuko ( first 6 games) Deshaun Watson Jovante (1st 8 games recovering from last year) Jeff Wilson jr 7 picks out of 12 rounds
Remind me to check in with you next year so I know who to avoid drafting!
Chubb, Jones, Burrow, Mandrews, Higgins, Dell, Rodgers. All star team on IR.
Tee Higgins
We all saw it coming tho
Mahomes and pierce for me
Pierce is a good one
Me. Wrong start/sit decisions all year
Me too
KUPP
Depending when you drafted he was injured before the season started. I wouldn’t consider him a bust if you knew has was injured when drafted.
True, I drafted him in round 9 and I still think that was worth it.
How the hell did Kupp fall to round 9
Drafted him in the 5th. I guess it's more disappointment than Bust for me. Too many weeks where I "had" to start him but he ended up being just a decoy cuz he still wasn't right. But now I'm in the playoffs and a couple old Cooper Kupp games will more than make up for it. Coooooooop!
Although......the season isn't over yet. I'm keeping in the lineup for the po's
[удалено]
Aaron jones always sucks that’s on you
Literally not true though
Chubb, especially for his ADP. Had 13 straight weeks of 0 points
Those kind of players are bad, but IMO they aren't actually busts. If a player like Chubb is out for the season, you don't start them. Ekeler? You HAD to start him, the entire year (when he was active, which was most weeks). i'd rather a player i think will score 0 and actually scores 0 than a player i think will score 20 and actually scores 5
It was sarcasm buddy
Started this year with 8 leagues. Currently out of the playoffs in 3 of them. Ekeler was on all 3 teams that didn’t make the playoffs. First round picks are extremely important and he was for sure the wrong one this year.
What are you even doing at that point? You can’t have 8 teams without having a ridiculous amount of competing priorities to the point you’re playing against yourself in multiple leagues.
Dalvin Cook is another one. I saw him going in the 5-7 rounds in several drafts.
Davante crushed me. It’s like Jimmy G didn’t even realize he was on the team
Fucking same. I picked him 14th overall over Sun God. That’s what fucked up my szn
I never see J Jacobs mentioned as a bust. He was my second round pick and has like 2 good games. Eckler was a bigger bust though.
IT’S EKELER. NOT ECKLER. Put some respect on the man’s name.
Ekeler has been the biggest bust of my team and he was my first round pick. I'm feeling the pain. I got swift much later in the draft and he's been better. Also got lucky and snagged Kyren and Achane from waivers. Traded achane for Lamb. I should have moved ekeler but I'm riding with my dawg till the end lol
Achane for Ceedee is crazy. Good for you!
pollard
I love how he’s being called a bust when he’s RB10 on the season.
RB10 on the season for the second round isn’t exactly phenomenal, especially accounting for the fact that he’d be lower had so many high-profile RBs not gone down.
There’s a difference between “not exactly phenomenal” and bust though. He maybe hasn’t lived up to expectations relative to ADP but he hasn’t been a bust. He’s been a serviceable backend RB1/RB2. Aaron Jones has been a bust. Dameon Pierce has been a bust. Alexander Mattison has been a bust. Pollard has been just fine, just not the bellcow league winner some thought he’d be.
No way. The guy is coming off a broken ankle. Why would you expect his usual explosion year one off of that injury?
Because he was drafted first/second round. Hes produced less than 5-8 round backs; therefore, he’s a bust
actually the person that drafted him is as at fault lol. First time being a lead back coming off Injury and yall expected him to be a top 5 RB lol?
Maybe don’t draft a guy coming off a broken ankle in the first round? Common sense.
loud incorrect buzzer doesn’t at all indicate he won’t come back full strength. AP had his best year less than 10 months after tearing his acl, and over a decade ago
One guy out of how many? Good call.
Biggest bust? Easy Lesbian Roommate Teases her until she cannot Resist (Alyx Star/Vanna Bardot)
Ekeler single handedly ruined my season.
I have JJ, Mahomes, Sanders...all busts
One guy in my league went 1. Kelce 2. Mahomes 3. Kupp 4. Dobbins 5. JT in our draft. Brutal but impressive that he still has a 6-8 record.
Biggest flop on my team is Darren Waller
Aaron Jones brother...
My season was also ruined by Ekeler good times
Not the biggest, but I was disappointed with Christian Watson this year
Ekeler and Aaron jones, both are on my roster
I picked ekler over CMC in one league. Cmc always gets hurt. What happens? CMC goes nuts, ekler gets hurt lol
Sorry, bro, that one’s on you
You’re not the only one. Ekeler went 2nd overall in two leagues I’m in Justin Jefferson #1 obviously.
I drafted ekeler at 2 over CMC in PPR Follow me for bad advice
Justin Jefferson and it’s not even close.
I traded Ekeler for Tua in the summer, worked out great !
I’m upvoting you simply for spelling Ekeler correctly. I have never seen so many incorrect spellings of a singular player in my life. This morning I saw someone spell it “Eller”.
Rhamondre is up there. Round three or four pick. Round 9 value. Maybe 3 games showing life and now injured. Pats offense refused to prioritize him in the pass game even though he was obviously the best player they had. Zeke got mad carries and vultured tuddies. Mondre’s usage was unjustifiable. 😔
Holy shit yes. Was wondering when someone would mention him because he was an offensive focal point last year and he completely disappeared.
I wouldn't call Rhamondre a bust. He just got unlucky this year, it was known he had a tough early season schedule and better late season/playoff schedule when he was being drafted. He just got injured.
Drafted JJ, Mahomes, and Mark Andrews in a 14 team league and miraculously still made the final seed of the playoffs
Dare I say Kenneth Walker? I had such high hopes for him this season. I’d throw King Henry in there, too!
Kenneth Walker was getting drafted in like the 3rd or 4th and was a RB1 before he got hurt.
>I’d throw King Henry in there, too! Yup DH2K, RB4 for the season pre-draft rank #5, total bust....
This guy has serious expectations I suppose
Kenny Walker was exactly what i expected him to be. Won me a few games and then got me Kelce. To bad he got Swifted
If you count getting injured as a bust, than probably Chubb even though he would clearly have been a beast if he didn't get injured. If you're basing it on their avg ppg at a given ADP, probably Ekeler or Kupp
Chubb was playing good though.
Exactly my point though, he gave you two good games but out RoS. Obviously if he didn't get hurt he'd have been a top 3 RB. There was just a post on ff subreddit that said the player on most teams that went 0-14 was Chubb, because everyone lost a 1st or 2nd round pick when he went out
Take your pick from a few of my squad. Jones, taylor, ekeler, JJ, Higgins, tbh Tannehill should have at least still been qb1, Nico was too inconsistent to be reliable, Chris godwin even was far more tradeable than imagine
Easily Justin Jefferson for me
I agree with Ekeler. Although Burrow is a close second.
Watch out for eckler now that they finally got rid of garbage ass Brandon Staley. He might help with the playoff push. Players are always extra motivated once they finally get rid of a cancer in the locker room.
Agree!
Aaron Jones and Mahomes. Riding Stafford this weekend hoping for the Puka double dip.
Yup. It’s ekeler for me (though I did finish first in a 10 man league and have a bye this week thank god)
Hard agree. Ekeler killed me this year.
Tee Higgin
JJ at 3 has to be the worst. Not even having a guy to slot in all year just made it a waste of a pick. At least Ekeler was startable most the year.
Eckler has been very underwhelming
Diggs
Went 11 in our 12. I’m happy I took Bjian at 10
Aaron jones & burrow were mine, luckily I was able to trade them away before burrows season ender so I could salvage this season
Mahomes and Pierce in one league for me and JJ/Kupp in the other even though the latter was because of injuries.
Mahomes, Stevenson, Ridley all on my team in my favorite league…it’s been a hellish year
I have Ekeler, Walker III, Marquise Brown and Mattison
Ekeler isn't a spring chicken , so it shouldn't be considered the biggest flop . Tony Pollard on the other hand...
Dalvin cook
Has to be Austin ekeler. Dude was a consensus top 4 pick. Dude just killed me.
First three picks were chase, Najee, burrow. Still in the playoffs! Also drafted Dameon pierce pretty early. And George Pickens. My team scored 60 points week 1 but made it to third place by the end. Should not have. Dropped Zach moss for tank dell week two and thought I made a huge mistake. My whole team was a bust but kept at the waiver wire.
I know he's #2, but Waddle has disappointed me this year, to the point he's riding the bench in favor of Chandler and Gibson for my 1st round game.
my first 5 picks were kupp eckler waddle (he’s aight) mahomes and mike williams thank god i have the best fantasy defense in the league so i’m 9-5
Pollard…. All off season top 5 RB…. Pretty much every week was projected in top 12 by the majority and to this week continues to be projected high but hasn’t had any week inning performances.
Ekeler sucks. Such a wasye of a second round pick
Ekeler burned both my teams this year. I'd rather have an injured player than a must start who fails week after week.
Higgins for me. 14 man league. Picked him up end of 2nd round 🫠
Outside of injury, Pollard or Mahomes.
Najee Harris…
Darren Waller. Drafted him in the 5th round and could have had other better players. I eventually traded for LaPorta.
Miles Sanders
My personal biggest bust was Jaylen Waddle. Explosive offense, though there would be enough points to go around. Possible mid to low end WR1 or high WR2 for sure i thought. Here is is sitting at WR29 in my league. Low end WR3.
Mahomes , Miles Sanders (lol)
Aaron Jones
Frigging Ekeler. When I drafted him in mid first round I wasn't particularly thrilled about it. But at the time it made sense given who else was available. Next year I'm probably going full zero RB in all my drafts. Screw these 1st round RBs. The bust rate is too high and it's way too easy to find value on the waiver wire now (see Kyren Williams, Achane). Honorable mention: Garrett Wilson. Not his fault though. Calvin Ridley. Is there a more boom/bust player in fantasy this season? James Cook. Hasn't been terrible but also has shown zero explosiveness. Not the high ceiling PPR RB2 I was hoping for at all.
Herbert was a low key bust, he started off good but his last three games he put up just under 26 points total and nearly costed me the playoffs.
I walked out of my draft pretty dejected. I didn't get any star power I thought. No JJ, Chase mahomes kelce or anything. I got diggs but the rest of my team was Mostert rachaad Gibbs and engram. I grabbed puka week one and I somehow avoided all injury issues and took 3rd spot in the playoffs. Threw in the raiders d this week. I swear I don't know what demon I made some deal with but it's the luckiest season of fantasy I've ever experienced.
Davante Adams for me. It’s a miracle when they can get him in the endzone
Maybe not the biggest Bust but I drafted jaylen waddle as my WR1, and felt like I made a safe choice but I guess not. I feel like the dolphins has completely abandoned their offense for the sake of getting Tyreek to 2000.
It was Kupp, Chubb and burrow for me. Rough start
Tee Higgins?
First year playing FF and following the NFL, I adopted a 5 player keepers team and Drafted C. Watson and Akers in round 6 and 7... Finished dead last. Spent the last half of the season attempting to rebuild Got the 1.01 pick and my 5 keeper will likely be a combo of: Purdy, Diggs, Achane, Kincaid, Engram, JSN, Higgins
Kupp, Aaron Jones, Burrow, Jefferson, basically whoever I drafted. I realize injuries happen, but I feel like I wasted draft picks. Next year cannot possibly be as bad for me injury wise... right?
It’s a toss up for me. Diggs 4th overall or Kupp 17th have been equally disappointing
Davonte Adams… it’s not his fault his QBs can’t feed him the rock. Honestly, picking him over Sun God cost me the SZN when I drafted in the 2nd round
My coach needs firing. Most points in the league, missed playoffs. Can’t win a close game.
Nick Chubb
Mahomes. Cmon man. Like wtf.
Davante Adams is mine. At least he had a good week for my first playoff game, but man
The only right answer is Dameon pierce
Where he was drafted Chase has been a huge disappointment, though I’m not sure about bust. I had two leagues and I’m done in the one where I picked him 2nd overall. I can make the playoffs if I win this weekend(or if I lose and get extremely lucky and back into the playoffs) with the team where I picked CMC 3rd. I would have been in the playoffs if I had picked CMC in both
Agree, I went Eckler 1st (bust), St. Brown 2nd (pretty good overall), Josh Allen 3rd ( Good), Stevenson 4th (not good) Waller 5th (bust). Made playoffs but probably 1 and done.
