Who busted your fantasy football team

I'm in a 10 team, 3 player keeper league that has been together for nearly 12 years or so. In all these years i have never finished below 6th place. but this streak is in jeopardy due to either my lack of knowledge or a full team of busts. These are the players i blame for my demise:

Michael Clayton -- will he even get 50 catches this year? Sophmore jinz at its best.

Julius Jones -- never got running, got hurt again and lost his job to a barber.

Rudi Johnson -- Ok he now has 8td's, i'll cut him some slack.
it's hard to blame a defense for anything but Baltimore is horrid.

I know my list doesnt include many other players who went from glory to suck but these few hurt my team, with Rudi and Julius being 2 of my keepers since the RB is a big part of the league points.

Who's your bust(s)?

I'm currently in first place. But suddenly falling fast. My team of..

K. Collins
L. Tomlinson
L. Jordan
T. Owens
S. Smith
P. Burress

Was just an incredible point getter for me... NOW, TO is gone and have no 3rd receiver to replace him with. Burress hasn't done shit in a month. Collins and Jordan have not been able do anything with that Raiders offense. What once looked like I would run away with the league is starting to fade.

Yeah i have Chad too. He is clutch every week.

I do not think you can name
K. Collins
L. Tomlinson
L. Jordan
T. Owens
S. Smith
P. Burress

as busts. Each one of those guys minus TO has had a real nice year. Smith is streaky but that is a given and Collins is on track for what was projected for him. Tomlinson is just crazy good. He's the best ff player imho.

My best pickup this year is Rackers, shows ya how good my team is. Lost Bulger at the key time i needed him and Brees isnt what i thought he'd be as a backup.

Ahman Green was my first round pick and he wasn't doing much even before he got hurt. JJ Arrington was a sleeper pick and, well, he still hasn't heard his alarm clock go off.

I left the draft thinking I would own
Collins+hasslebeck
Jordan/T.jones+Drounghs/Barlow/S.Davis
T Holt/R.Moss + moulds/Kennison

I traded Davis for Gonzo 2 weeks ago.

I just keep losing starters during the games.I lost 1 guy 6 weeks out of 10 and lost 2 games scoring 2nd most points.
I`m 3+7 and need to win out plus get a little help to make it.

There is one guy in our league that is 5+5 and is 250 points off the lead he has a horse shoe up his a$$.

All in all I very well may have busted my own team.It took me 3 weeks to figure out who my #2 RB would be always chosing the one who scored less points.Holt got hurt and was on the injury list I sat him and he played.Then the next week same thing so I played him and he sat.

Hello all,although I haven't been to the site in awhile,I've been active with our fantasy football leagues and I'm happy to say that I've been extremely lucky and fortunate that for the most part,the players I drafted in our Yahoo League have performed very well and am leading the league by a couple games or so and with the playoffs just around the corner. It's been a very competitive league and the playoffs are going to be very interesting.

OrginalBob and his "OkieWhiteBalls" I think that's the correct team name,is leading in one of my other leagues on Foxsports or NFL league.Good luck to all during the playoffs and may the best fantasy team win the fantasy Lombardi trophy.

Well some ass in my league traded LT to a guy who was going to make the playoffs....

The league really only consists of two teams who are good and I am happy to say that I have The top spot with a one game lead.....Joe if you're reading this, it would have been more fun if you didnt give up ten weeks ago...

The Team changes weekly according to streaks but this week Im putting up the following against the guy in second place (pray for me!):

QB: Warner
backups: Bledsoe, Delhomme (had Collins, Green, and Culpepper at one point)
WR: Harrison, S. Smith, R. Wayne
backups: R. Smith, K. Robinson
RB: Dunn, Parker, G. Jones (Jac)
backups: J. Jones (Ive had Barber, Gado, and Evans, they didnt work out well..)
TE: Gonzalez
backups: had Franks, BUST
Def: Atlanta
backup: Buffalo (I started with them, got rid of them and took Tennessee and then took them back. Might change again)
D Players: Vilma, Bulluck, D. Williams, Polamalu
backup: C. June

Its a pretty solid team and hopefully I can do well this week.

And the only reason I have Warner is because he is facing SF this weekend and has an easy schedule the next few weeks. Almost took Boller for this week simply because they are facing the Texans, but I still think they will find a way to suck....

Good luck to you this weekend and you stand a pretty good chance winning that game,especially since you don't have that worthless ass Collins as your QB. You did yourself a huge favor by dumping his sorry ass. To bad you can't slap th shit out of that idiot who traded LT to a playoff team manager,which is sure to help him out going into the playoff rounds.
