Somewhat Early Bust Watch
I include injured players in Bust Watch, but frankly I'd rather have a player that missed some games than one who played and was terrible. While Steven Jackson has been out, at least you can still use the spot to score points. Most of the injured players were struggling before they got hurt, which is a double whammy.
1. Marc Bulger: 764 yards, two touchdowns, four interceptions, two missed games
2. Lee Evans: 113 yards
3. Rudi Johnson: 277 total yards, 1 TD, one missed game
4. Drew Brees: 1,175 yards, three touchdowns, nine interceptions
5. Steven Jackson: 290 total yards, three missed games
6. Vince Young: 703 passing yards, 3 TD, 6 INT, 129 rushing yards, 1 TD
7. Reggie Brown: 170 yards
8. Brandon Jackson: 178 total yards
9. Matt Jones: 74 yards
10. Hines Ward: 101 yards, 1 TD, two missed games
Comments
Brandon Jackson is only a
'bust' because you FFL guys
all vastly overated him to
begin with. He was a barely
better than average RB at
Nebraska. Why anyone thought
he'd be an impact player in
GB his rookie year is beyond
me.

Should Colston, who was rated higher than Brown, Jones, and Ward by just about everyone, be on this list with 218 yards and 2 TDs?

Greg, Maroney has got to be included and Santana Moss potentially...

You should replace Brandon Jackson, Reggie Brown and Matt Jones with Colston, Frank Gore, and Shaun Alexander.

I'd put Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson ahead of Brandon Jackson and Matt Jones.

Yeah Hines Ward is a bust? He wasn't rated that high... I agree with Colston, Alexander, and Maroney all being on the list, especially the latter because of the expectations and top 12 preseason ranking.
