2009 Fantasy Busts and Booms

Busts
Michael Turner - #2 pick in many drafts ended up having 5th round value
Matt Forte - see Turner above
Brian Westbrook - the year the wheels broke (might have to retire) and unlike usual McCoy didnt' do a good job replacing him
Brandon Jacobs - early 2nd rounder eneded up having 7th round value on the IR
Clinton Portis - one of worst 2nd round picks as stunk it up and spent last 6 weeks on IR
Steve Slaton - see Jacobs above
Ronnie Brown - ended year on IR, would have been top 5 back if healthy though
Steve Smith - got outplayed by his namesake in New York, can't imagine how good he'd be witha good QB
TO - disappeared in Buffalo this year, will be interesting to see who signs the 35 year old
Reggie Bush - the SC/Kim Kardashian/playoff star power shines, but he stinks at fantasy
Marshawn Lynch - never made up for missing first 4 weeks as he shared with Fred Jackson all year
Antonio Bryant - 4th round pick in 09, won't get drafted in '10
TJ Houshmanzadeh - fantasy career died in Seattle and so did your 5th round pick
LJ - done and done
Other complete busts: Lendale White, Eddie Royal, Willie Parker, Anthony Gonzalez,

Booms
Aaron Rodgers - drafted after Brees, Brady, Manning but outplayed them in fantasy
Brett Favre - from 12th or 13th round pick into top 10 player at 40, amazing
Ray Rice - Top5 back for a 4th-6th rounder, I had him and he'll be the 4th or 5th pick in '10
Ben Rothlisberger - same as Favre except went a bit earlier because of his SB run in '08
Matt Schaub - my pick at QB this year proved me right as a top 5 QB in a year where every team had a ridiculous QB
Jamaal Charles - Undrafted to domination the alst 5-6 weeks, might have earned himself a 2nd round pick in '10
Miles Austin - Along with Charles, best waiver wire find of year, will go 5th or 6th round next year
Steve Smith - Outplayed the Carolina WR, but still a risky play in run first NYG offense next year
Percy and Sidney Rice - Brett's WR's went from undrafted to studs, if Brett is back they are too
