2010 Fantasy Football Busts

Here are the fantasy football busts for the upcoming 2010 NFL season.


Beanie Wells-
With Matt Leinart at the helm, there will be very few goal line opportunities and rushing lanes will be virtually non-existent with defenses focusing solely on the run. Wells is stuck in a platoon situation with Tim Hightower and still being drafted in the 3rd round of some leagues.


Miles Austin-
Maybe it's just me, but what Miles Austin did last year was a complete fluke. Can't believe he's being drafted before studs like Brandon Marshall, Greg Jennings, and Roddy White (guys who have produced year in and year out and are the top talent on their respective teams). Dez Bryant will emerge as the go to guy. Talent always prevails when it comes to wideouts and Dez has obviously a better skill set. IE... when Calvin Johnson overtook Roy Williams, and when Kevin Curtis and Hank Basket weren't worthy to carry Desean Jackson's jock strap in 08.


Chad Ochocinco-
Chad Ochocinco? More like Chad Ocho-STINKo this year. A heavy rushing attack and the addition of TO will severely limit Ochocinco's production this year. Owens, bigger and more physical receiver will get more looks in the endzone than his puny (in comparison) sidekick. You can get Owens a few rounds after Ocho, and still get similar fantasy production if not better.


Jonathan Stewart-
He's getting drafted really early for someone playing second fiddle. I guess people are banking on Deangelo getting hurt again this year. You can get similar production at a much cheaper rate if you wait a round or two and get either Brandon Jacobs or Marion Barber. Heck, you might even get similar value if you wait a few rounds and draft Thomas Jones.


Larry Fitzgerald-
I really hate to put him on this list because he's such a huge talent, maybe the best receiver in the game today. But Matt Leinart is going to kill Fitzgerald's production this year. I predict 900 yards and 6 TDs... not worthy of someone taken in the 2nd round of most drafts. ***If Derek Anderson emerges as starter, Fitz becomes a top 5 fantasy receiver. He made Braylon Edwards a fantasy beast a few years ago.
