QB
Matthew Stafford (Rocket Man)
QB Rank: 15
Overall Rank: 26
4,257 Passing Yards, 22 Passing TD's, 12 INT's, 93 Rushing Yards, 2 Rushing TD's, 3 Fumbles Lost, 1 2 PT Conversion, 257 Fantasy Points
Acquired: 5th Round (49th Overall) By Me. Traded to Eugene along with Randall Cobb and Chris Johnson for Cam Newton, Victor Cruz, and Jeremy Maclin.
QB is always going to be skewered because they are always the top scorers in Fantasy Football so when you look at the #26 overall ranking you think "how can you consider Stafford a bust?. Relatively speaking though..he was a big time bust. Every year people assume Stafford's going to "get it together" and put together a dream season that would rival those of Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and Aaron Rodgers...every year IT NEVER HAPPENS. He was the 5th QB selected and a top 50 pick. 14 QB's outscored him making him not even a QB1 in a 12 team league! He also comes up the smallest year after year when it matters the MOST..at the end of the fantasy season and playoffs. Stafford was one of numerous underachievers that sunk my team. I ended up trading him to Eugene, but because I ended up trading Aaron Rodgers to Eugene as well later, Stafford became nothing but bench fodder. Despite weapons galore (and yes..Calvin was hurt but still) Stafford managed to put together a super mediocre season. You won't see Stafford going that high in drafts next season, that's for sure.
WR
Calvin Johnson (Rocket Man)
WR Rank: 14
Overall Rank: 52
71 Receptions, 1,077 Receiving Yards, 8 Receiving TD's, 190.5 Fantasy Points
Acquired: Keeper Pick (Kenny). Traded to Eugene along with a 10th round pick for Markus Wheaton and a 3rd Round Pick.
Before the blasphemy of calling Calvin Johnson a "bust". Think about the high expectations. He was supposed to be a cornerstone along with Demaryius Thomas that Kenny built his team around to win this year's championship and Week 1..he looked like the same old Megatron with 31 Fantasy Points. Then...total shit. Some of it due to injury..he ended up with 24.5 points in the next 4 games combined than missed 3 games with an injury and completely helped derail Kenny's season. Kenny sold high and picked up an extra 3rd rounder for next season. He's not even the highest scoring receiver on his team, Golden Tate was. Calvin's reign as #1 receiver looks to be done and it can be argued he's not even a top 5 receiver anymore. When he came back, he was very inconsistent..one week being the Calvin of old..and the next week just looking old. I'm not writing him completely off yet, but there are at least 4 receivers I'd rather have than Megatron and I thought I'd never say that. To have 13 receivers finish ahead of you when you're supposed to be a top 3 receiver qualifies as a major bust in my book. Especially since Calvin was the only guy to make the Wane McGarity All Stud Team all 3 seasons previous.
WR
A.J. Green (Channel 4 News Team)
WR Rank: 24
Overall Rank: 71
69 Receptions, 1,041 Receiving Yards, 6 Receiving TD's, 2 Fumbles Lost, 170.5 Fantasy Points
Acquired: Keeper Pick (Albert)
Damn..the receivers look like it this should be the list for All Stud Team..but it's not. A.J. Green was another no brainer top 5 receiver who ended up for the most part being terribly disappointing. Again..it's hard to knock him for injuries, but it is a part of the game and Green became very injury prone all season. He, like Calvin, started the season off with a great game, and then missed game 2 right off the bat with an injury. He ended up missing 4 total games and was basically knocked out of a 5th one. He barely eclipsed 1000 yards and had only 6 TD's. It's insane to think someone kept as a 1st round keeper was outscored by 23 other wide receivers, injured or not. Again..he had a couple of nice games that showed why he is an elite talent, but the expectations were far from met, and this season with so many great receiver seasons, he was just lost in the shuffle. He also came up as small as possible in Albert's semi-final game against Matt where he tied him and lost. Hopefully it's not the beginning of the end for Green but Albert might have to seriously consider whether it's worth keeping him next season.
WR
Brandon Marshall (The Bad Robofies)
WR Rank: 34
Overall Rank: 95
61 Receptions, 721 Receiving Yards, 8 Receiving TD's, 1 Fumble Lost, 148.5 Fantasy Points.
Acquired: Keeper Pick (Me). Traded to Dad along with a 6th Round Pick for Torrey Smith and a 3rd Round Pick.
This seemed to be a common theme with Marshall this season. Hobbled with various ankle injuries and then a season ending collapsed lung and broken ribs..his season was terrible before that as it was tied to the Bears disappointing team as a whole. Marshall had two great games to start the season, but his troublesome ankle would bother him and he would go on a 6 game streak where he only posted one double digit point game (that was only a 14 point performance). Again..he helped really sink my season. Luckily I sold on him early and not only got a receiver who was ended up being way better than Marshall (Torrey Smith) but picked up Dad's 3rd round pick as well. He had a couple of nice back to back 20+ point games for Dad in early November, but never scored double digits again after that and basically helped sink my Dad's season as well. It's obviously his worst season with the Bears and with the Bears looking to start back from scratch combined with his age and injuries, I don't know what Marshall's fate is in the fantasy world for next season.
RB
LeSean McCoy (Next!!!!)
RB Rank: 12
Overall Rank: 45
1,319 Rushing Yards, 5 Rushing TD's, 28 Receptions, 155 Receiving Yards, 3 Fumbles Lost, 184 Fantasy Points
Acquired: Keeper Pick (Me). Traded to Leland along with Mike Evans, James Starks, and Cam Newton for Aaron Rodgers and Ben Tate.
"But he finished with over 1400 total yards". SO FUCKING WHAT. McCoy looked like SHIT most of the season and far from the MVP of both the Wane McGarity Bowl and Regular Season last year. I did not see this coming whatsoever. He was supposed to be my anchor of another championship run. Instead, after two okish games, he went on a slump that killed me DEAD. 3 games with 11 points COMBINED. That was IT. He was beyond awful..he was not nearly involved in the passing game as had been before and Darren Sproles and even CHRIS POLK ate into his workload and goal line work as well. His yards per carry SUCKED beyond belief. The MAIN reason I had the worst season of my Fantasy Football career. He went from arguably the best running back in fantasy football to a borderline RB1 at best. The Sproles signing ended up being the WORST thing that can happen to him. I had to do the unthinkable and UNLOAD him to try to salvage my season. 5 TD's?! All year?! Inexcusable. He had zero 20 point games. None. For the #1 overall player in our league..that's just not going to cut it. Can he bounce back? Sure..but you know when RB's start declining it's not pretty. I'd assume Leland bites the bullet and keeps him still, but it's not nearly as much as a slam dunk as it was last year and I really won't be surprised if McCoy is thrown back in the draft pool.
RB
Montee Ball (Shock The Monkey)
RB Rank: 90
Overall Rank: 2430
172 Rushing Yards, 9 Receptions, 62 Receiving Yards, 1 Fumble Lost, 31.5 Fantasy Points
Acquired: 2nd Round (13th Overall) by Mark
Fuck Montee Ball and fuck the analysts who thought this fucker was the real deal. Just because you become the #1 running back in an offensive machine like Denver doesn't mean you're automatically going to be an elite fantasy superstar. You need talent..and this clown has NONE. I'm sorry, but it burns me when fantasy know it alls proclaim the next big thing and fall completely flat on their faces and get zero blame and still get paid big bucks for their "opinions". Was he worth a speculative pick based on upside? Of course..1st pick of the 2nd round..HELL NO. He couldn't even beat out KNOWSHON MORENO last year and looked pretty mediocre last season. Yet there were the fantasy experts.slurping him up. It was enough for Mark to bite the bullet and pair him with Forte for a potential running back dream team. Ball was horrific in 4 games before ending up hurt and put on IR. He CRUSHED Mark's chance of doing anything from the get go. The funny thing? Ronnie Hillman came in..BOOM...performed great...than he gets hurt and C.J. Anderson takes over and performs at a legit RB1 level. Evan Juwan Thompson looked better than this ass. So when C.J. Anderson, Juwan Thompson, Ronnie Hillman, and Knowshon Moreno (plus the rest of 89 RUNNING BACKS THAT WERE BETTER THAN THIS GUY) outperform you..yeah you fucking suck. For C.J. Anderson's sake...I hope Montee doesn't fuck him over next season. Can't see Ball being drafted next season at all. This probably erases C.J. Spiller as worst early round pick in league history.
TE
Vernon Davis (Next!!!)
TE Rank: 36
Overall Rank: 251
26 Receptions, 245 Receiving Yards, 2 Receiving TD's, 49 Fantasy Points
Acquired: 6th Round (72nd Overall) by Me. Traded to Leland for Michael Floyd.
Vernon Davis started the season with a 44 yard two TD game in week 1 against the Cowboys for 18 fantasy points. He ended up scoring 31 points THE REST OF THE SEASON. Funny how 4 of these guys on this team were on MY TEAM. That's how bad my team was this year. You know you have to fucking suck major dick to have 35 other tight ends outscore you. Tight End is a weak position to begin with so to be the 36th best...good god.....how embarrassing. Davis has so many zeroes that I don't know if it's because of injury or just sucking. He also has a ton of games under 4 fucking points. Just AWFUL. Worst pathetic excuse of a tight end in a longgggg while.
