Edwards is the biggest bust, many were seeing him as a top 3 WR.... the guy can't catch a cold

Tom Brady.

I knew I would regret taking Addai over Barber as soon as I did it.

You can't really count him as a bust.The only thing busted about him is his knee....
OH SNAP!!!

Grant. 2nd round pick in most leagues. No 100yd games, no TDs. Killing fantasy teams across the country.

For my 1.6 pick..no doubt its ADDAI
notice Edwards on the Browns in poll..its a OHIO team got to be kidding to have anyone in a poll on a OHIO team!

I'm surprised anybody other than Addai is getting votes. He's been a huge bust as a Top 4-5 pick.

i voted moss, as it says no injured players (which addai is)

Addai was a long ways away from being a Top 4-5 RB before getting hurt today. He was ranked 25th among RBs in standard scoring leagues going into today.

Barring injury, Moss has to be. He was pretty much a consensus #1 WR and 1st round pick. He's performing as a borderline WR3 in a 12 team setup, and there has been little in the NE passing game to inspire confidence in a turnaround.

Agree..he's no where a top ten this season...
King of the Wolfies

Even tho he is hurt, its still a wasted high draft pick. On top of that, his injury all but killed Moss, and the NE defense.
GibbyGarcia

While I certainly agree that Moss has been disappointing, especially tonight, I don't think he qualifies in the tone of this bust list. He's playing with a career clipboard holder as QB, so I'm willing to understand the expectations aren't going to make it, no different than Brady.Grant and Addai...but my pick is Derek Anderson-who had crept up into the top 6 in several rankings and has been just a fantasy killer.

I think Edwards is more of a bust than Addai. At least Addai has 4 TD's compared to Braylon's 1. Plus, if you took Braylon high in PPR formats the 11 receptions are abysmal for what expectations were!

The question was a bust so far..a injury that takes you out for the season is not a bust.or a wasted pick (it happens in football)..but if you picked Addai like me at 1.6 and expected top 10 numbers for a RB..then thats a BUSTED pick so far since he just got hurt..he wasn't doing nothing before he got hurt..have him should know!

Edwards IMO --- Glad I stayed away. He was fetching Moss $$ on draft day. Both have QB issuses so you cant really lay it all on them. Cassell is terrilble he is the most indecisve QB that I can recall in a long time. Has poor vision too.

Addai has to be..got him at 1.6 and most drafts have him overall at 1.3-1.5 draft spots.
So far not counting week six..he was rated #26 in pts for a RB and #108 overall (PPR leagues).
Now he had a bye week..but even with that he will still not be in top 15 RB's and around 80 overall in pts.
To me this is the worst BUST pick (for a very high draft pick)....Edwards forget him..he was picked late second third round most drafts I was in...Never touch Ohio team players.

Addai gets my vote and he's worse than Brady. At least with Brady you were able to cut bait early and grab someone else to start. With Addai, you probably kept hoping he'd perform and lost points from your lineup.

You can't lay the QB issues on Edwards, but he hasn't helped his QB by holding onto the ball either. WAY too many drops.

I took Addai 1.07 and Edwards 2.05.

What is sad about your list is the fact that I drafted six out of the 13 you have listed. Needless to say, but I am having a terrible year in FF.

WTF does this say?

I think Maroney was getting picked somewhere between Edwards and Anderson and he has even less points. He's not even startable when healthy right now. Heck, he barely belongs on a roster after his start.
Road Warriors

My assessment was based on fantasy production vs. draft slot. I agree its through no fault of his own that Moss is not producing, but at the end of the day, he's not producing. I had DA ranked as a borderline QB1 in a 12 team league, so I would not have taken him in the first 6 or so rounds. There were several around here that sniffed out this bust predraft.I think Addai qualifies as a consensus 1st rounder that has significantly underperformed.

The list of guys drafted in the first 2 rounds who aren't busts or semi-busts is much shorter.
The only thing keeping us geniuses that went with R.Moss/R.Grant alive is that almost everyone has at least one bust.

Despite one good game vs. Denver, MJD has been a huge disappointed.Palmer ,Garrard, FWP, Randy Moss, VY, Welker, any Browns' players, any Bengals' players ( except maybe TJHoushmandzadeh), Grant, Vernon Davis

MJD has had like 3 good weeks already, he is far from bust materialRoy williams has been terrible and i am surprised he hasnt gotten any votes, considering he was going in 4th round

really?2 points week 38 points week 55 rushes week 6No disappointment at all for Graham owners?

The guy is basically saying don't take players on craptastic teams like Cincinnati and Cleveland.
on another note, if this is supposed to not include injured players, Grant shouldn't be included.

I wouldn't say it's not his fault, he looks to be going through the motions a bit out there, last year he made a few catches on those jumpballs he didn't last night, didn't seem to be fighting for the ball out there to me.

It's Edwards for me, but I paid top dollar for him in a dynasty auction, so I may be a bit biased.
The problem with him is that you keep feeling like you HAVE to start him unless you've got some other high quality options, because this next week he could break out and you don't want to miss it. So every week you run him out there and then freak out as he gets 2-3 catches for less than 50 yards. That's not just 2 or 3 weeks, that's been the case EVERY SINGLE WEEK!
I finally sat him this week thanks to picking up Lance Moore, but I almost put myself through it again when I heard Colston would be playing.
Addai at least had two good games and one that was salvageable, and Randy Moss had two great games. Edwards is 0-4 with only one game above 10 points in PPR. That's barely rosterable, much less startable.

Moss "went through the motions" last year as well from time to time. Sure, he's probably doing it a bit more this year as he knows his QB isn't going to get him the passes he needs to do his job. He did it even with Brady, too. He's a bust this year because his QB is awful.

My vote goes to Moss, mainly because I drafted him in quite a few leagues whereas I didn't manage to land Addai in any [not sure why, just dumb luck as I wasn't particularly down on him].

Earnest Graham is on this list? I think he's been pretty solid, on pace for 1370 YFS & 8 TD's.

In my fav league
LT (1.1 picked, 20th in scoring)
AP, (1.2 picked, 29th scoring)
SJax (1.4 picked, 34th scoring)
Adai (1.7 picked, 96th scoring)
Lynch (1.9 picked, 40th scoring)
LJ 1.10 picked, 50th Scoring)
Lot's of players in R1 can be called busts, but Addai has to lead the voting
