Studs | Super Solid | Safe | Busts
Sleepers | Super Sleepers
Contract Year | Third Year Receivers
Equally important as being able to pick the sleepers out of your fantasy football draft is the ability to spot the busts. There are many reasons a player can bust, including, but not limited to, age, injury, and changes in coaching staff. Free agents often struggle with new teams, especially if they are forced into new roles, such as going from one team's No. 2 receiver to another's No. 1. Also, be a little leery of players coming off knee injuries. Coaching changes at the coordinator positions is also worth noting.
With that in mind, here are my fantasy football busts for this year:
Quarterback
Matt Cassell, KC
Kevin Kolb, ARZ
Donovan McNabb, MIN
Cam Newton, CAR
Running Back
Reggie Bush, MIA
Thomas Jones, KC
James Starks, GB
Michael Turner, ATL
Wide Receiver
Deion Branch, NE
A.J. Green, CIN
Randy Moss, TEN
Steve Smith, NYG
Tight End
Tony Gonzalez, ATL
Jeremy Shockey, NO
Jacob Tamme, IND
