Who are your possible fantasy busts this year?

MJD - alot of wear on that frame. Gabbert could start down the road and that would kill MJD stats.

Benson - that offense will be horrendous and they will stack the box against him and getting 1st downs to continue drives will be tough. He will not be a top 20 fantasy back.

Please don't say MJD! He was my first overall pick.

Sorry about that. It is a bust considering where he is drafted. He still will have some good games and lord knows I will most likely be wrong. The qb sitaution scares me in Jax.

Mendenhall, McFadden and Foster. Staying away from all three. Mendenhall I don't see him making it through the entire season. McFadden, I see split time with Bush and don't expect the numbers from last year. Foster going number 1 in some drafts consider him a bust as he won't be the number 1 fantasy back this year imo.

When you think bust, it has to be relative to draft position. So, if Foster goes #1 and finishes #5 that's not really a bust. Not the best #1 pick if he finishes #5, but if he's healthy he's a top-5 back for sure.

The same can't be said for MJD. Great back, but he's on a bad team. Also, R. Jennings is a player with over 5 YPC last year. Injury is a greater risk with him than others, but you can't ever predict a major injury. I'd rather have 14 backs than him though.

Hillis's nubers will be down, and I think he'll be about 15-20 at the end of the year. I wouldn't draft him.

So, who else?

S. Jackson. The Rams will be better than they were last year, but the miles are going to catch up with this guy. He's getting drafted mid 2nd round, but there's about 15 guys I'd rather have. Not much injury history here, but with all the action he sees and his physical style, I wouldn't be surprised to see some.

I think Foster loses goalline touches this year and also I have concerns with his ability to make it through another season with the workload he sustained last season. I don't see him being a Top 5 back actually think he may not make the top 10

I think Greg Jennings numbers drop considerably this year. I'm not sold on McFadden and Jahvid Best is seemingly an injury waiting to happen.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

Jennings might actually get less attention this year due to Finley's presence up the seam. He's still a top-10 WR. McFadden put up good numbers only one year, and agree on Best. Small guys on turf tend to get hurt a lot, such as Reggie Bush in NO, Collie in Indy and Harvin in Minn.
