KF, nice season thus far. You've come a long way from the "None of the Above" days.

Nice change of pace topic Diesel.

2) Culpepper. Thought we'd see the Culpepper of old, now I'm not sure we'll ever see him again. Only drafted him on a couple teams, but I did have him too high on my draft board.

And how does this affect all the data used on draft slot bidding projections?

Throw in all of us that liked Reggie Bush too.

I took Jordan (I think I've heard enough of the "idiot" references) and he's unquestionably the biggest bust of the year. Period. To make matters worse, I went RB-WR-WR, leaving me with zero depth in the backfield.

Other disappointments for me...

1) Lee Evans. I really thought he'd bust out. Even worse, I've felt compelled to start him each week and he's rewarded me with exactly one TD.

2) Aaron Brooks. Yep, I bit. A double Raider whammy. I really thought that Moss, Porter, and Jordan would revive his good numbers from the Saints, and that Shell would make the O-line decent. At least he became droppable where he didn't stink up my starting lineup each week.

3) Kurt Warner. I figured that with Edge, Fitz, and Boldin, if he stayed healthy he'd be huge. Instead he stayed healthy and he sucked. Are you talking about my team, Paul? I drafted all 3 of the above with the same thoughts as you. I also threw in Wilford, major disappointment, especially with Jones going down....C.Wilson, thought he would do something....and one R.White, I can't stand Vick and will never draft another ATL WR. I really thought one of these 3 would step up, but alas their performance as a trio equals my 1st rd pick; S.Smith-45/631/2TDS Above Trio-47/601/)TDS

Thank you WR3! Overall I would say Jordan has been the biggest bust by far. I expected a decrease in production, but nothing like this. And yes Paul, I have been "compelled" to start Evans each week as well. I am still ticked at myself for that pick. I am the biggest A.Johnson fan and picked him in basically every draft at the same point as Evans, but for some reason in the main, I felt the need to go Evans first, hoping A.J. would make it back to me. 3 picks before me he was taken.

Well at least we have the 2nd half to see what happens.

It's great to come on and read some Fantasy Football chat on these boards! lol

How about Rackers? Did anyone think he was going to go bananas like he did last year? I always target a kicker I like, but it's NEVER a priority that I get him...

How about Leftwich? How many guys thought he was going to stay healthy this year?

Diesel im 43 overall in the main ,with a 6 and 2 mark.MY QB'S are Leftwich and Leinhart, Leftwich has know lost his job and lionheart is on a bye.
Lucky for me Garrad WAS aviable , but now i have to blow my free agent money, i have 550 , and decided to go 322, the runner up bid was 253, i cant believe somebody went that high.I now have 155 dollars left , but feel real good with the garrad pickup, nice match this week againest TENN.This is why its always good to have money late in the season , just in case of promblems.

Eddie, I'm ranked 137th through 8 weeks. I took Steve Smith and Larry Fitzgerald in the first 2 rounds of the Main Event from the 13 hole...After I took Steve Smith in the first round, the team after me took P. Manning and Tory Holt...If Holt fell to me, I would be in much better shape. But there is still some time for improvement from Team MoJo Rising...I can only hope that Larry Fitz comes back and comes back strong next week.

One thing I'm extremely happy of this year is the fact that I was sold on Bulger, and took him every chance I could in every league I could. His health was the only thing that I've seen as a flaw in him, and so far, knock on wood, he's been healthy AND productive. Last year, Bulger missed most of the season because of an INT that he threw. He decided to try and tackle the Linebacker who got his INT. I don't think he'll ever try that again...lol...

I agree. It's good to see some football talk. Injuries aside, Lamont Jordan and Cadillac Williams have been by far the biggest busts especially since they were 1st round picks. I've been frustrated with Edgerrin James, however if I didn't take him, I was eyeing one of these two. With that said, I'm probably one of the few owners who is happy I have Edge. It could have been worse!

I also think Randy Moss has been dissapointing for a lot of people and while his numbers aren't too bad, I know Chad Johnson owners were expecting a lot more. Good thread.
