Might have been hindsight for you, but I drafted none of these guys and I have picked up Vick, TO, MSW, and CHI D/ST off of waivers in a 14-team league. Doesn't mean I'm gonna win, but it means I play smart.

The 2nd most all time receiving TD leader Randy Moss is destroying my fantasy team.

Good job on never having a bad draft pick, but I don't think hindsight means what you think it means. I bet the farm on a guy who had one breakout season last year, and took him at the elbow in the first round. He ended up rushing for 2,000 yards. My point is that you sighting guys who have only had one big season as players to avoid in early rounds is not a very strong argument.

Randy Moss is #1.
In other leagues I'm blaming Ryan Grant, CJ Spiller, and Beanie Wells.

Mike Sims Walker and Steve Smith (Car). Every week I've started them as my WR3 they've scored 2 pts or less.

Crap, how could I forget Moss... He was my first round pick in PPR at #9 and I have questioned starting him many times.May be forced to put him yet again, but have to keep expectations low.

Beanie Wells in the 4th-5th, haven't started him once yet. Rice at #4 overall has been alright but not at that draft pick (PPR).
Other than that no one really disappointing. I only consider guys I draft in the first 4-5 rounds to be considered for this thread since you think you will have consistent production from them for the season.

In redraft there's no reason for any single player to kill your season. DWill's been a waste in a couple of leagues. MSW gave me some goose eggs when I still had faith in him. Ocho's been awful. Had Romo in both my 2 QB leagues. Wes Welker has been a black hole of fantasy suckage after week 1. That's what drafting depth and wavier wire pickups are for. The key is quickly adjusting your pre-draft expectations and looking beyond the numbers to see what players are just having a bad start and which ones will be likely to continue to dissapoint.

Miles Austin screwed me in many leagues.....I have traded him away in both. I am 4-5, and a couple of my losses were close and those games Austin had stinkers.
Doesn't help when in one league, you draft WR-WR in the first two rounds and then draft Grant, Moreno, R Bush, and Portis at RB.....and they all got injured within the first 3 weeks of the season.

Another vote for the three Carolina players that John Fox and the GM have rendered useless..............I stayed of Smiff because of the injury and quarterback situation but on different teams thought that DWill or Stewart would have some kind of usefullness....

I drafted Kolb and Cassel as my two QBs in a 14 team league. Neither are on my team anymore.
Missed out on Vick but managed to pick up Stafford.
My QBs are now Troy Smith and Shaun Hill...
Also, DeAngelo Williams was my RB1 pick in that league. Jahvid Best was my RB2. AND I drafted Steve Smith Car.
I'm 5-4 and still just might make the playoffs however.

I drafted Pierre Thomas but soured on him even though he had a solid first game, and moved him for Ahmad Bradshaw. Seemed good.

arian foster.
some guy sniped him ahead of me in the draft, and I'm a schaub owner.
although, my season isn't ruined -- I'm just pissed every week

Randy Moss
not only screwed by his fiasco but Wes Welker has tanked as well.
ends up in Tenn in time to take receptions and points from Nate Washington. With Britt down he was in position to be a an force.
hopefully he will attrack double coverage and Washington will be one on one

Wasn't trying to complain about Nicks personally, he's obviously been HUGE for me this year...just complaining in general that every week I have someone who just doesn't show up at all. In seasons past a bad game for someone meant 3 or 4, but I've never had a stretch where I get less than one freaking point over and over each week. Obviously love Nicks overall though!

shonne green. i had #1 pick and thought i was getting a steal at turn of 2nd round. I started him twice (wk 1) and against buffalo (yay!). Praying LT gets hurt for playoff run

Really surprised nobody said this...Michael Turner
PPR league
Week 1:5.90 points
Week 2:7.50
Week 4:10.8
Week 6:5.90
Week 10:3.90 Will probably cost me this week.
His lack of receptions really hurts in PPR. Can't count on those extra points to pull you into the teens every week. I'm showing 9 receptions on the year.

As, I said in a previous post, I agree with this point...it's just an unusual coincidence with one player in 3 separate leagues and losing in close games(in all 3 leagues) with the only common denominator being Austin. Austin is a difficult player to make those "adjustments" with because he's 50/50 with huge games and bust games. I have definitely lowered my expectations with Kitna in there, but it is still difficult to know what to expect from him.My point in the thread really wasn't about bad picks or bad management, but I can certainly understand why it has gone in that direction.I've been absolutely killed with injuries this year, but that's to be expected...just part of the game.

Forte. And not because I own him.
I played against him week 1 when he went for 201 combined yards and two tds. I lost by 2.3 points.
Then, just before the week 5 games, the Forte owner traded him to the team I was playing against. So this time Forte goes for 188/2. I lose by 4.1 points.
Stop laughing because it gets worse. You'll want to save your laughing until the end when you'll really need it.
Last week I'm playing against a team that's decimated by injuries and week 9 byes. He can barely field a complete roster and he's forced to play Chester freaking Taylor. Taylor of course gets the goal line work, scores a touchdown and I lose by 2 tenths of a point. FORTE, WHERE ARE YOU NOW YOU *@*!!!
Hmmmm. Maybe I should trade for Forte. Maybe I could get him straight up for Ray Rice. Yeah, that would probably save my season....

Arian Foster is ruining my season....because I chose not to draft him. Had the first pick and went with ADP but bought into the Jahvid Best Hype and drafted Best over Foster at the end of the 2nd/beginning of 3rd round. Had I drafted Foster, I think I would be undefeated and cruising. Here is to hoping Best's toes get better!!

No, your point actually falls on its face.Cleo Taurus? What, are you 12 years old?

No not really. Miles Austin and MSW were risky picks for the 1st and 2nd rounds. Lots of upside, but plenty of downside too. At the time, they were unproven. Certainly don't fault anyone for drafting them, but I wasn't going get them in rounds 1 or 2.Thanks for your input though.
