cadillac williams was my bust and wasted draft pick. eli manning was also a problem for me, as he single handedly forced me to lose several games by throwing for negative points.

Caddy, Rueben Droughns, Matt Jones, Chris Simms...Four of my first six picks in a 16 team, big money league. Needless to say, I'm not playing in the finals this week.

Duante Culpepper looked pretty promising in August. Thankfully I dropped him and got Grossman / Rivers to supplement. Colston and Steven Jackson carried me to third in a 12 team league.

Cullpepper over brees............ I thought I'd take an injured knee over an injured shoulder.... after injuring my knee this year I realize that's almost as important as a shoulder injury when it comes to throwing the ball.

Alexander and Caddy hurt my team but Jones-Drew, Marion Barber and the Baltimore defense carried me to a championship.

Galloway....he had a couple of good games, but most games he did nothing fantasy wise.

I had one that hurt for awhile but turned out to be great in the playoffs. I had Carson
Palmer sitting on my bench bc Mcnabb was my starter so I traded Palmer and someone else for Steven Jaskcon to beef up my RB's. Not two days later McNabb is hurt and out for the season and I am playing pennington at QB, while not bad he is no Palmer. But it ended up being great because I picked up Vince Young and when it came playoff times Steven Jackson was putting up LT numbers and led me to a championship.

I did the exact same thing, Davis in the second. That's what I get for being involved in an early draft. I finished one game out of the playoffs in that league, so replacing him with Westbrook or Parker sure would have been nice. James over Jackson wasn't exactly my best move either.

On the plus side, I DID manage to pick up Houshmandzadeh off of waivers in my other league, so not ALL my moves this year were stupid. ;)

LT won most of my games for me, but a few of my players hurt me.

I drafted Hasselbeck, who (in addition to being injured) didn't perform as expected when playing. I also used a draft pick on Willie Parker. He had a few big games, but I eventually fell back on alternating between Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew for my second back because Parker was so inconsistent. The Buc's Defense was a definite letdown, but I still had Jacksonville's Defense, and picked up San Diego's defense when I dropped Tampa's.

I drafted Koren Robinson--awesome pickup and then dropped him for Jerry porter--I had a great WR crew going on. Somehow my best scoring wr was Bobby Wade from Tenn.

I honestly thought I drafted the best team. I was in a league where you can plat 3 RB's and 1 WR (you could go 2 and 2 or 3 and 1 the other way)

I had the 4th overall pick and drafted Edgerrin James. I thought he would have similar stats with Indy b/c I believed the Cardinals offense would dominate.

My second round pick was LaMont Jordan. Why wouldn't I pick up Jordan with the 17th overall pick. He was supposted to go over 1800 total yds.

My third round pick was Dominic Davis. God damn I'm an idiot. Three days later, DD was placed on IR and I felt like a loser.

Other notable busts for me was Aaron Brooks and Reuben Droughnes.

Chester Taylor, Javon Walker, Ladell Betts (after Portis went down late) and Marques Colston (as a TE in yahoo) saved my season and I ended up getting 2nd place and doubling my money.

IMO my first three picks were busts and this is supposted to be your foundation. Fantasy football is 99% luck, 1% skill.

Haha I had the exact same two and they caused me problems. I probably made more moves on and off the waivers than you could imagine :p

My big stud was Steven Jackson, along with Anquan Boldin and TJ Houshmanzadeh who were pretty consistent. Really the rest went week to week, lol. Ladell Betts and Jeff Garcia helped me towards the end, too.

And i'd have won the championship if just, in week 15, Peyton didn't hook up with Marvin Harrison for 2 TD's and monster yards, my opponent had both :(

My first two picks were Portis and Jordan.

Traded Jordan for K Jones and picked up Gore in the 5th. Could have been worse and it gets worse....

Drafted Culpepper and Grossman but didn't play Grossman until it was too late and he fell apart....

My first losing season

My drafted QBs in my money league were Culpepper and Simms. Ouch. Managed to nab Grossman and Romo at the right time and made it to the championship game. Thank you LT.

Rod Smith, Mike Bell, Droping Ced Benson before he turned into the TD monster.
