2020 Fantasy Football All-Bust Team from seestyle's blog

There's nothing like the feeling of sheer confidence after completing a fantasy football draft and thinking to yourself, " ." Yes, every fantasy owner says that, but inevitably, some of the players each team selects end up turning into disappointments -- or even worse, complete busts. With the 2020 fantasy season now wrapped up (unle s you play a Week 17 championship game), it's time to look back on some of the biggest busts at every position.The construction of this year's All-Bust Team was simple. Obviously, there's a laundry list of guys acro s the NFL who have dealt with injuries and have mi sed extensive action, including early picks like Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, and Courtland Sutton. With that said, we didn't want to bog down this list with players that suffered season-ending injuries, so we focused more on picking players that were in action for at least a good chunk of the year but just didn't deliver for whatever reason. Sure, some of them also dealt with injuries, but the biggest busts are the big-name guys you play every week or at least keep on your John Hadl Jersey roster all year but constantly provide little-to-no production.In addition to the picks for the all-bust team, we'll revisitour preseason below each selection. As usual, we had some hits but also had some egregious whiffs.Without further ado, we present to you the biggest fantasy football busts of the 2020 NFL season. QB:Carson Wentz, Eagles Coming off a solid effort in '19, Wentz was the 11th QB off the board in fantasy drafts on average, goingahead of the likes of Aaron Rodgers and Ryan Tannehill. Despite being viewed universally as a potentially QB1 with a high floor, Wentz crashed and burned this season and finished the fantasy season ranked 21st among QBs in total fantasy points. In terms of average points per game, Wentz was Joey Bosa Jersey ranked 18th.Wentz had seven games with multiple pa sing TDs this year, but he also hadsix with multiple interceptions. Though he has been benched since a Week 13 lo s to the Packers, he still leads the NFL in interceptions (15) and sacks taken (50). His consistent negative plays constantly put fantasy owners behind in games, and that's part of the reason that many moved on from him as the season went along.Most of Wentz's fantasy owners are kicking themselves for not drafting Rodgers instead of him, and next year, they won't make the same mistake. Of course, it's po sible no one drafts Wentz next year, asJalen Hurts is looking like a potential long-term answer for the Eaglesand Wentz's contract is extremely difficult to trade in a non-salary-dump move. As a result, he could end up being a backup next year unle s he rapidly returns to his borderline-MVP performance from 2017. : Dak Prescott, CowboysPrescott was on pace to throw for nearly 6,000 yards before a compound ankle fracture prematurely ended his season. Obviously, he didn't pan out for fantasy owners in wake of that injury, but given that he was on pace to be a top-10 fantasy quarterback before he went down, it's hard to label him a definitive "bust" this year.RB: Leonard Fournette, Buccaneers Fournette ended up being the 20th RB off the board in fantasy drafts this year, but his season got off to a strange start. He was among the final cuts for the Jaguarsand ended up in an uncertain role with the Buccaneers.After running for 103 yards and Lance Alworth Jersey two TDs on just 12 carries against the Panthers in Week 2, it looked like Fournette was going to be the starter over Ronald Jones. However, Jones staved off competition from Fournette and forced him into the role of being a spot-starter. All told, Fournette had a couple of two-TD games but never went over 100 total yards after Week 2.Fournette finished the year as a top handcuff and an occasional matchup-based flex play, but for the most part, he disappointed in his finish as the 39th-ranked RB in fantasy football.RB: Le'Veon Bell, Jets/Chiefs Hopes were high for Khalil Mack Jersey Bell in his second season with the Jets. He was set to play behind a better offensive line and wasn't coming off a year-long layoff as he was before the 2019 season.Instead of getting a rejuvenated Bell, the Jets got nothing but trouble. Bell got hurt in his first game, clashed with Adam Gase, and ultimately was released. He was scooped up by the Chiefs, but Kansas City opted to use him as more of a backup to spell rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire than anything else. With the Chiefs, Bell had more than 10 touches just twice, and on the season, he averaged nine touchesfor 42.3 yards per game and scored just three times.Bell was the 21st RB off the board, on average, and a top-50 pickin most fantasy drafts, so seeing him finish the year as the 57th-ranked RB overall was a ma sive disappointment. Most weeks, he just wasted away on the benches of owners too afraid to drop him in the hopes that the Chiefs may go with a full split between him and Edwards-Helaire.RB: Mark Ingram, Ravens Speaking of high draft picks that didn't pan out, how about Ingram? He was drafted 23rd among RBs, indicating that he should be a low-end RB2. Instead, he completely cratered and lost Will Clapp Jersey value long before the season ended.Early in the year, the Ravens were using a frustrating rotation at RB featuring Ingram, Gus Edwards, and JK Dobbins. As the year went on, Ingram battled injuries and got fewer and fewer touches with Dobbins and Edwards taking on a majority of the work. In recent weeks, Ingram has been a healthy scratch, so it appears that his time as a productive fantasy RB may be over.Entering Week 17, Ingram ranks 70th among RBs in fantasy scoring this year. That is behind both Dobbins and Edwards and the likes of Salvon Ahmed, Joshua Kelley, Peyton Barber, Brian Hill, and Samaje Perine, among others. To say this year was a disappointment for Ingram would be an understatement. Miles Sanders, Eagles | Aaron Jones, PackersJones was a complete whiff, as he followed up his breakout 2019 campaign with a strong '20 campaign that saw him score 10 times during the fantasy season and total nearly 1,400 scrimmage yards. He did mi s a couple of games, but it wasn't a big deal. Sanders, on the other hand, Los Angeles Chargers T Shirts had a rough go of it. He dealt with nagging injuries and scored in just four games(six total TDs), and his performance was very inconsistent playing behind a depleted Eagles offensive line. He wasn't terrible, but he was more of a boom-or-bust flex than the fringe-RB1 that he was drafted to be.WR: A.J. Green, Bengals Though the Bengals had added Tee Higgins to the fold, it was anticipated that Green, if healthy, would be the top outside receiver for the Bengals and would have a shot at emerging as a solid WR2/WR3 in fantasy.Instead, Green has endured a disappointing campaign despite staying healthy. On four occasions, he has finished a game without making a catch. He has scored just twice and is
