Last week I predicted 4 fantasy football "busts" and nailed all 4. I'm not saying that'll happen again. But I'm gonna put my beliefs up for public scrutiny. Let fate dictate the rest.
Ever notice how ESPN, CBS Sports, and other "expert" sites rarely-to-never predict bad performances from elite players? They generally play it safe. That's why ESPN's top 3 RBs for Week 14 are (no surprise):
Way to go, ESPN fantasy gurus. We couldn't win without you.
Unlike these expert sites, I try to find both the diamonds in the rough . . . and the poop in the rough. It takes a lot of hours each week to arrive at these conclusions. My goal is to make this time investment pay off for you.
And so, my busts this week are:
There is an ebb and flow to players' performances. Some of these predictors are outlined in Fantasy Football for Winners. I've been called crazy many times for making seemingly ridiculous predictions. But more often than not, I'm right. And when we're talking about bold predictions shared by few-to-zero people, that's a track record you can take to the bank.
To those of you in the fantasy playoffs, good luck.
