Fantasy Bust Thoughts
 

Fantasy season is rapidly approaching...pretty stoked and ready to get back in business...Wanted to start a thread on who you all think the biggest [B]busts[/B] will be for the 2013 season. Lets get a discussion going :flex:

I say AP. Everyone will expect a repeat of last year only to get their hearts broken!

+1

I don't think he will be a "bust" in that sense, but he certainly won't meet his production last year. I'd estimate 1,200 yards and 10 TDs.

Here are some busts:

Alfred Morris
Gronk (absolute monster when healthy, but he gets injured every season essentially...definitely not worth a second round pick)
James Jones

QB: Colin Kapernick. Teams will have a better understanding of how to defend him and the Seahawks and Rams defenses have both gotten better.

RB: Ray Rice. More touches for Bernard Pierce and Ravens try and get better in the passing game.

WR: Calvin Johnson. I still think he will have a decent season, but nowhere will still see a big drop from last year.

TE: Rob Gronkowski. I think his injury will plague him most of the season and really limit him.

Also the Broncos WR's. Too many guys to go around with only so many passes.

Regarding Kaepernick, don't do drugs.
Regarding Calvin Johnson, also don't do drugs.

I agree, but do you think he will top the RB board?

Why Morris? I see RG3 running less after getting injured like that which means more carries for Morris.

Agreed...Too bad about Rice, seems whenever they give him the carries they actually do well.

Yea was thinking about that the other day. Welker still a 2nd round pick though?

Foster, RG3, EJ Manuel if she starts, Matthews, McFadden, Gronks, Bush (non-ppr), Spiller, Fitzgerald

Calvin could have a "drop" and still have 90 receptions for 1,400 yards. Also I don't think there is any way his TDs stay at 5. I'd be shocked if they don't at least double. There is too much throwing in that offense for him to not be ultra productive.

You guys need to credit me for those posts lol. In all Seriousness the point about AP is this...if your going to draft a guy 1-2 overall you need to expect him to be at the top of his game and history shows that when a RB has a great season like AP just did there is always a fall off. Don't draft AP #1 overall

Fantasy busts? Kate Upton all the way.

Interesting....Didnt think Foster would be on the list. RG3 I can see a drop and EJ I wouldnt touch with a stick lol. Matthews I can only see as going up as he had an awful season last year. Now that hes in full health I can see his potential go back up again.

I see AP going for close to 2k. Not 2.5k

:D:D:D

Ryan Mathews. Terrible.

QB: Roethlisberger: losing Wallace will hurt and Miller also hurt. I don't see Brown or Sanders stepping up as a true #1

RB: Foster: A lot of carries last season, could see him missing a few games this up coming season

WR: Torrey Smith: Losing Boldin hurts. I see Flacco struggling this year as well

TE: Gronk: Can't stay healthy

K: Walsh: Don't know, just picking someone lol

Def: ? Niners, Seattle, Broncos, who knows

He was very overrrated because he had a string of good games late 2010-early 2011. The Heath Miller is the bigger issue

Did you forget he can be a thrower before a passer?

If you watched any 49er games you would know he has a GREAT arm. The running is just a plus

And if anything he will have a better understanding of defenses. You do know he only started 10 games so far right? Lol

PLUS, all the new talent around him. Boldin+ a healthy manningham and hunter.
Don't know About the team as a whole but kaepernick will be no where near 'bust'

To be honest, you're being a bit of a homer. It's much easier for defenses to adjust to a QB than a QB to a defense, anybody knows that. Kaep will be adjusted to much better this year, simple fact. No doubt he's a good player. He will disappoint people though.

[QUOTE=ajlaxmn;4817462]Ryan Mathews. Terrible.[/QUOTE] healthy he may have a better season...

Not really....this isnt a league....


I see torrey doing a bit better this year. Hes ready to take on primary.

not sure if serious but history is certainily not with that predicition. Why would you think that? Care to explain

[QUOTE=addicted36;4818717]not sure if serious but history is certainily not with that predicition. Why would you think that? Care to explain[/QUOTE]

Just a sixth sense ;) ...I do not see him reaching his "2,500" but I can see AP staying in beast mode. I wouldnt be surprised.

Alfred morris? RG3??

Wes Welker and Danny Amendola. People will draft Welker thinking he'll still put up "Welker" numbers and it just won't happen in Denver. Manning won't just key in on him throw after throw after throw like Brady had fallen into lately. Amendola also won't put up Welker numbers, likely due to injury, but there will be enough people thinking he will just because he's Wes' replacement.

I don't know if Steven Jackson is still going highly or not, but expect most people who drafted him to be highly disappointed with his Turner-esque numbers as he gets ignored in favor of Jacquizz Rodgers.

I think busts, in terms of there being better picks given players rankings would be:

QB = Stafford, Romo, and Flacco.

RB = LeSean McCoy, MJ Drew and Forte

WR = Bronco's WR's, Packers WR's, and Saints WR's

TE = Gronkowski, Gates and Vernon Davis
