The biggest fantasy bust of 2014 is....... (1 Viewer)

[Stinkin Ref]

injured players do not count....people should quit posting them....

Patterson and K. Allen were the first I thought of....and Stacy.....I stayed away for the most part....thank god....the Patterson hype was over the top and things fell perfectly for Allen last year.....especially towards the end....

I'd have to agree that the ROI for McCoy is having him creep into that territory......but there is still some season left and if he has a couple of noce games and then helps in the fantasy playoffs I could see him not being on this list....I know for some you may feel he cost you from "getting in" the playoffs.....but if that is the case I would encourage you to look at the rest of your draft/team/roster management....plenty of McCoy owners still in the hunt....and not sure I'd want to see them on my schedule

 

[Run It Up]

ADP & Megatron technically should not be labeled busts, but they sure did #### up a lot of seasons.m

All bust team:

Rivers/Ryan

Keenan Allen

Garcon

Harvin

VJax

McCoy

Bell/Bush

V Davis

Prater

SEA

What?

Going in like the 10th round, Top 3 QB for most of the year, still a top 8 QB.

 

[FF Ninja]

ADP wise, the #1 bust this season was technically Ball with Martin a close second. So, if you want to be objective about it, it's Ball.

I didn't own Ball anywhere so for me personally, it was Patterson. I was so hyped coming into the season and it never occurred to me that the dude might actually be a #### receiver on a fundamental level even though it was a such a clear risk in hindsight.

I agree with this guy. Ball is the answer. Martin was a bust before injury so he still counts as #2. Glad I avoided both of those guys.

Also, it's pretty silly to consider injured players busts. People need to get over it. Injuries at least give you an opportunity to insert a healthy player in the lineup to get points. Busts are guys who you started for many weeks and didn't perform.

you agree two injured guys were busts and then say injured guys shouldn't count as busts.....?

while there is really no way of knowing and the future may not have "looked" bright....at least in Ball's case one could argue he may have been off to a slow start, but might have been able to turn it around......I never thought Martin was that good, so not really gonna comment on him....never really had a chance to see if Ball could do it.....he had a couple of double digit scoring (PPR) games, then a matchup with SEA and then a bye in his first 4 weeks before getting injured week 5 I believe....in PPR he was avg 11.5 points in the games he played preinjury....

 

[Sabertooth]

Has to be Adrian.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Peterson

McCoy

 

[BobbyLayne]

Fair points about Rivers, he went late. But in all 3 of my redraft leagues he's been the starter because of his hot streak weeks 2-6. All three of those teams have slumped and may miss the playoffs because they were leaning on him.

I didn't draft him, just observations.

 

[just_want_2_win]

I think there's a difference between a disappointment and a bust.

McCoy's a disappointment but he has produced, albeit it in an "underproduction" fashion (#1 pick producing like an RB2). Same with Megatron and some others listed in this thread.

Martin, Ball, and Stacy, on the other hand, have done nothing yet were going in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th rounds. Garcon and Patterson fit this too, doing almost nothing.

I like the definition that it's not guys that didn't start due to injury or suspension but guys you had faith in and kept trotting out there just to continually get disappointed.

 

[Stinkin Ref]

the Peterson crowd baffles me.....he is not a bust....you ran into bad luck that he did something to get suspended.....when dude plays, he is a beast.....he is the anti Doug Martin.....and most likely if playing would be beasting it up....

imo....bust has to be someone who is on the field playing but is not justifying their ADP in a big way.....period....anything els(outside factors) is a different conversation and bad luck.....Peterson never had the chance to justify/not justify after week 1.....

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

Spiller prolly not getting mentioned enough yet. Yes, injured now but was awful prior to that. One of those guys drafted in Rd 3/4 that was a legit candidate to jump back into the top 10.

Ben Tate qualifies. High hopes for the "starter" on a run heavy team falls to being cut before the season is over? Oof.

Gerhart. Good lord.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Dont care why hes a bust, injury, suckiness, smacking his kid, peterson was drafted top5, and he busted

Why in the world did anyone trust Gerhart? That's one of the few players mentioned in this thread that I think people should've realized beforehand was fool's gold. Tons of red flags there.

agreed and IMO.....the same could have/should have been said about Keenen Allen if you really took a closer look at the stats he put up last year.....and the way things fell for him....no way should his ADP have been so high.....

and in the year he ran for over 2000 yards he had a 10 point game, an 11 point game, and a 12 point game....whats your point?

Not worth hijacking but.. the YPC in Minnesota was good, 4-5 catches per game was realistic expectation, size of contract offered with no clear backup to steal touches to start the season. Signs were there for RB2/3 based on workload despite legit questions of talent.

 

[cstu]

Lots of good choices, but my biggest bust was Gio Bernard. he was supposed to be the cornerstone to my offense...I suppose had I picked McCoy instead of Bernard with my first pick I'd be complaining about McCoy as well - or ADP.

good point..Gio is a bust this season.

Ray Rice - looked great in preseason, you knew he'd miss 2 weeks, with Kubiak's offense, he could've run wild..

McCoy - how the mighty have fallen.

Gio was the #9 RB before he was hurt. If you had Hill or another decent RB then you probably have low RB1 numbers out of his spot this year.

 

[Warrior]

LOL @ the geniuses that are calling Phillip Rivers a bust.

He was drafted around QB15 and he's been QB9 so far this season. Yeah, what a HUGE bust. We all know that a QB2 drafted extremely late who is performing as a QB1 with a bad few weeks recently is absolute poison to any fantasy team.

If you drafted Peterson, you spent a top 3 pick on him, and your team likely completely tanked because of it. Your best player sat out this season. Your team was demolished by that pick. No clue why you wouldn't call him a bust. I don't care if it was bad luck or bad performance, either way you were screwed by that pick (unless you got lucky with a free agent pickup to compensate...even then, you would have been way better off with both of them starting for you).

 

[Da Gildz]

Felonies/Injuries aside, it has to be Corderelle Patterson. There cant be a more useless fantasy player who's played every game and was drafted in the top-5 rds. If there is 1, please post it. Zac Stacy at least has an excuse, he hasn't played!

That's just inaccurate. There probably wasn't a more productive player in the last 5 weeks of 2013 then Patterson. 6 TD's in 5 games. That's impressive anyway u slice it.

Whether or not u think he's any good, there was massive hype surrounding him this preseason.

They were busts before injury. Getting injured later on actually just saved their owners the trouble of starting them. Calling Calvin a bust is laughable, though. See the difference?

No. You're confusing your own opinion with the general publics. Congrats you were right on him. That has no bearing on the fact he was a top 5 round pick in 90+% of drafts this year. Again, your opinion is irrelevant here.

I disagree with a lot of this...

unless you fell asleep for the next 10 rounds.....your season should not have tanked because of one player....more to this hobby than the 1st round....with that logic you could have had Peterson all year and then filled the rest of your roster with Raiders and won the championship....

Peterson as a player is not a bust.....his talent is top 5 and he will be drafted accordingly next year.....Patterson/Allen/Stacy will not.....

I guess some people just will continue to allow situations like his and injuries factor in to discussing "busts"....

as I've said, a bust to me is a player who you draft at a certain ADP expecting that type of production when playing and the player plays but doesn't give you anywhere near the production you paid for....again "when playing" is the key.....

if you want to use the words "most unfortunate draft pick"......then yeah Peterson is the captain of that team.....

[SIZE=14.4444446563721px]To me, the term BUST, refers to studs who were dissappointing and didn't deliver. Patterson, or "Players who we thought were going to be good" doesn't apply.[/SIZE]

 

[Da Gildz]

Again your OWN opinion of Patterson is irrelevant. How do you not understand that? Was he drafted in the top 5 rounds in almost every league out there ?? Yes. He is the definition of a bust. We get it, you personally don't think he's good or didnt in the preseason. Either way, that's meaningless.

Here is my main team's biggest busts, all keepers: Gio, Joique,Toby, and Cordarrelle. Ouch. Still in first though. :nobodycares:

 

[haterade]

I think calling players 'busts' who have been missing games due to injury misses the point...

The guys who really hurt you are the ones you keep starting bc they are still healthy and have everything going for them that they did when drafted... but still suck (allen, vernon, etc).

 

[Alonzo Mosely]

The term "bust" is being used too loosely. A guy drafted as RB2 performing as Rb10 or 12 is NOT a "bust", even if he's dissapointing.

A bust is a guy taken in the top 5 rounds that has been relegated to the bench or dropped. Keenan Allen qualifies. Doug Martin does too. McCoy, Megatron- nope

Under what scoring system is McCoy an RB10? He is a low RB2, if that, on a PPG basis.

 

[Hersh]

I was so pleased with my draft at the RB position:

ADP

D. Martin

M. Ball

R. Jennings

T. Gerhart

Today - not so much!

 

[Nugget]

QB: Stafford, Newton

RB: Peterson, Martin, Gerhart, McCoy, Stacy, MJD

WR: VJAX, Patterson, A. Johnson, Garcon, Crabtree, T. Smith, Mi. Floyd

TE: V. Davis, Ertz, L. Green

Megaton is close, 1st round pick that wasn't startable for 6 weeks and has only 2 above average games. A lot of teams had a hard time recovering from that.

Took him at 1.05. First place and top scorer.

 

[Alonzo Mosely]

Here is my main team's biggest busts, all keepers: Gio, Joique,Toby, and Cordarrelle. Ouch. Still in first though. :nobodycares:

Where did you draft Joique that made him a bust? He was RB21 in our draft (4.05) and is RB24 with a game out due to injury.

an 11.5 per game avg would have you in RB2 territory in PPR right now.....meaning Ball would be disapponting given his ADP....but not busting

If he continued at that pace. The fact that he wasn't going to get his job back when he returned from injury makes him a bust. For instance, I don't consider Mathews a bust because he got injured and returned as a starter in time for the playoff push.

Also, it's unavoidable, but I try my best to not play PPR.

you are kinda grasping for the handrail now.....you sid in your first post, injuries should not count....he was reinjured in his first play back....and you have no way of knowing the bolded.....they very easily could have eased him back in during the first game and he produces and then he could have regained his spot.....easing him in, in theory seemed like the right thing to do, but obviously he wasn't even ready for that as he reaggravated it on his first play back....

Last year he was WR1 in my return yards league.

And according to some other guy I can't call ADP a bust either. Lawl.
