Aftermath: Thanksgiving Day Football

Did you make a huge mistake and start Matt Flynn, Matt McGloin, Nate Burleson, and/or Jerricho Cotchery in yesterday's games? 3 of these 4 overrated ‎fantasy football‬ players averaged 13 fantasy points in Week 12. Cotchery was coming off a bad week after scoring 5 TDs the previous 3 games.

What could possibly go wrong?

If you listened to me on 610 Sports in Kansas City Thursday morning, you would have heard me give co-hosts Ryan Witkowski and Cody Tapp my 4 Thursday "busts"--4 players who would fall well short of expectations. I also tweeted my busts 3 hours before the day's opening kickoff:

I had much to be thankful for this holiday season, because after analyzing every NFL player's potential, I concluded that Flynn, McGloin, Burleson, and Cotchery were overvalued. My opponents make the mistake of picking up these guys off waivers, fully expecting double-digit production. I remained on the sidelines, knowing the truth.

The average ESPN Week 13 projections for my 4 Thursday "bust" picks was 10.25 points.

What was their actual average production? 3.25 points.
