I would say anybody who missed at least 4 games should be eliminated from the discussion.
Thoughts?
I nominate Braylon Edwards.

Biggest non injury fantasy bust this season? (1 Viewer)

Addai and Edge have to enter this equation. Edwards for sure amongst WRs, with (dis)honourable mentions for Santonio Holmes, Chad 85, and although he will end up missing more than 4 games, Plax has to be in this discussion too.

The first one I thought of was Braylon Edwards but that may be because he is on 2 of my teams.

No, he wasn't. He was one of the last starting RBs picked in most leagues.

You're having a real hard time with the non injury part of the equation, aren't you?

Paying attention to thread title....Biggest non injury fantasy bust this season?
EDIT: '5x champ' beat me to it

OK, only Palmer missed more than 4 games thanks to injury. McFadden missed exactly 4, I believe. I'm giving him a pass for the OP's parameters and calling him a bust anyway.Stay classy.

Good job making this into a semantics match about how badly they'd have to be injured to count. Well played thread derailment.But has he missed at least four games because of it?Chad Johnson has been playing with a shoulder injury all year.

OP seemed to qualify "non-injury" with missing at least 4 games. Ironically, you were the one who started calling out alleged reading comprehension trouble, friend, not I.

ok to get this back on track a bit...
How about Ryan Grant?
How about TJ Houshmanzadeh?
Willis Mcgahee?

One of the fish in my league (keep 3) retained Derek Anderson. Equivalent of a third round pick. Ouch.

Housh has had his moments.Was McGahee's because of injury? Maybe he did not miss as much time.Grant is certainly an option. Showed promise in the middle...but has been disappointing for a few weeks now too.
Stompin' Tom Connors
Footballguy
Yep, my bad.Bulger and Grant were good additions. I might add Rudi Johnson to this list, too. I don't think anyone was expecting him to be a stud, but many were expecting him to return to be the bruising workhorse he was of yore when he started this year in Cinci.You listed Carson Palmer and then Darren McFadden.

just to throw out a name i haven't heard mentioned - Big Ben had 30+ td's last year and only 15 or so this year, with more turnovers this year too. I think most probably realized last year was a fluke, but someone drafted him over manning in a TD heavy league i'm in.

Gore and Lynch have been underperforming 1st round picks. I'm on the fence about labeling them busts but they haven't been pretty.
Biggest bust hands down is Edwards. Nobody else is even close.

I think its Plaxico, forget the injury clause.What were your expectations of Gore and Lynch? I'm pretty happy with Lynch's performance, save a few weeks here and there. Both are better than they were last year.

Housh has to be up there. He's had 3 good games and everything else has been non-startable.

Another vote for Braylon. So much of the damage he did was self-inflicted with all those drops.

My vote, no doubt, goes to Braylon.
Tomlinson at least has scored 9 TDs (compared to Edwards' 3), and he has about as many catches as Braylon.

Easy vote for Braylon...I should have known better than fall for the Browns hype

I'm going with Addai. As usual he missed a few games, but even the 11 games he's played have been pretty ugly. He's only scored 10 points in 4 of those 11 games, and he's been outscored by Rhodes.
At least Tomlinson is out there playing every week and getting you double-digit scoring. LT's scored at least 10 points in 11 out of his 14 games. Not great, but there's no way that's the biggest bust of the season.

Housh for me. Him not showing up again today cost me. When he did show up those few games this season, I didn't need him anyway.

People naming Jamal Lewis, McGahee, Ocho. You're the busts. Even LT, there was no reason to think he would finish as a top 10 back. And expecting anything out of Lewis, McGahee or Edge is pure comedy...wake up. Sure if one of them is sitting around deep into the draft, but c'mon...to label them busts mean you had them projected early in the draft.
