With roughly a quarter of the season done what players that you drafted and were high on this year appear to be busts?
For me its:
Big Ben
Santonio Holmes
Mario Mannigham
Rashard Mendenhall
Pittsburgh Defense
Philadelphia Defense

I'm gonna add Felix Jones to the list.
There was NO ONE with more hype over draft weekend, and he STILL sucks as a goal line back, and the Cowboys are a team that simply cannot run the football.
I got him on a couple teams, and feel queasy about playing him each and every week.

Jared Cook and Lance Kendricks were considered great late round flyers at TE. Cook may have scored but it was a fluke and he still only had 2 catches.
Kendricks has never seen a red zone target that he couldn't drop.....

I was stupid to believe in these players:
chris johnson
s. holmes
m. manningham
getting hurt by drafting
m. austin
j. charles
m. coulston (knew about the injury and drafted him as 5th wrs but with other injuries my bench is too thin)
p. garcon (thought even with collins at qb, he would still produce 4th wr numbers)
j. ford
as a side thought:
i don't take other so-called fantasy experts sites as gospel, but man oh man did fbdfantasy.com get it wrong this year or what.
what is his name lou something. haha
i think he should give his paying customers a rebate next year.
here were some of his picks:
number 1 rb: j. charles (ok injury)
number 4 rb: r. mendenhall
number 8 rb: s. greene (haha)
top 12 wr: s. holmes
top 15 wr: a. boldin
top 24 wr: p. garcon (good pick)
top 12 te: f. davis (and has been bragging about this pick)
funny thing is lou still believes that most of these players are still top picks and buys for the rest of the year. haha

I got him on a couple teams, and feel queasy about playing him each and every week. His ADP made him the 15th drafted RB. Last year's 15th best RB was Green-Ellis, who averaged 12 PPG. Felix is currently averaging 12.4 points per game and that includes week 2, in which he separated his shoulder.
Maybe you were expecting a breakout season from him. But for what he cost, he seems to be delivering about as expected by most.
C'mon Billy. Surely you can do better than this?

funny thing is lou still believes that most of these players are still top picks and buys for the rest of the year. haha Why would you put Miles Austin on this list .He has 4 touchdowns and coming into this week even not playing in week three he was a top 10 wide reciver.
Austin was also hurt late in the game which he scored 3 touchdowns so isnt wasnt like getting hurt in the 1st quater and get nothing you just have to fill his hole for 2 weeks and a bye and he will be back being a stud wide reciever the rest of the season.
Now please take him off the bad board. lol.
