[FFB] Who's been your biggest bust/breakout so far?

Don't know about your scoring system but he hasn't been a complete bust in my league. He definitely hasn't been world beater that I expected but also hasn't been a complete bust.

 

Ray Rice has been crap compared to what he was doing last year.

 

STEVE JOHNSON!

He's on pace for the same type of breakout year Greg Jennings had in 07-08. Both of them kinda came out of nowhere as well. I hope Johnson can keep it up.

Jennings 07-08 13 games/ 53 receptions/ 920 yards/ 12 tds.

Johnson 10-11 through 7 games with 9 remaining/ 30 receptions/ 409 yards/ 6tds.

 

hines ward.

oh and not to metion that i had tony romo and dallas clark on my team.

I'm still looking good though at 3-3

 

beakout- i had no idea who roddy white was. i just picked him cuz he was first at the time. he has far exceeded my expections

19. (225) Robert Mathis (Ind - DE) (cut)
20. (232) Anthony Gonzalez (Ind - WR) (cut)

You'd think I'd be in dead last. I stayed very active on the waiver wire. I replaced Sims-Walker with Brandon Lloyd off the waiver wire. The defensive players were easy to replace. Winslow was replaced with Aaron Hernandez. Bush was replaced with Mike Tolbert (the Tolbert while Matthews was out).

I'm 7-1, in first by 2 games and lead in points by over 100.

 

I don't understand why people are calling Roddy White a breakout player -- he's been doing this since last year and he came into this year ranked in the top 3 or 4 WR spots.

 

Biggest Busts:

Romo
Deangelo Williams
Schaub
Jets Def

Biggest Breakouts:

Lloyd
Hillis
Zach Miller
TO
McFadden
Titans Def

 

I was giving him serious consideration to taking him 1st in the Yahoo PPR League. Lucky for me I decided it wasn't worth the risk of him pulling a Forte.

 

I agree. 1st wasn't out of the question with Rice.

 

Romo has not been a bust. His team may have been losing games, but he was performing extremely well for fantasy owners like myself on a weekly basis until he got injured.

I had Zach Miller on my sleeper list, and if I hadn't snagged Jermichael Finley I would have picked him up in a later round. I don't think the Titans defense is that surprising either. Now Peyton Hillis and Brandon Lloyd, most definitely.
