Fantasy Football Biggest Busts 2021 All-

Those who drafted one or more players on our 2021 Biggest Busts list already know the impact of just one fantasy dud can have on your playoff and championship outlook, and it's time to look back on the season as a whole and pinpoint the most disappointing players.There always has been -- and always will be -- several key guys at every position who bust, with injuries being a large part of that equation. However, injuries can be a ble sing compared to poor play. At least when a player is injured, you can put a healthy and potentially productive sub in your lineup, and if a player is out for the year, you can at least drop him. If a player simply disappoints, you usually wind up with that subpar performance in your lineup. Ross Stripling Jersey At the very least, that player continues to take up a valuable spot on your roster. At the end of our article, we also have an all-injury team, but we're more interested in diving into guys who played at least 12 games and, for one reason or another, didn't live up to their preseason ADPs.MORE FANTASY: Whether a player simply didn't play well, was replaced by someone else on their team'sdepth chart, or was productive for only a small part of the season, we're going to analyze what led up to their preseason hype and how it all unraveled.It's worth noting we're focusing on 10- or 12-team, single-QB leagues. Obviously, a player like Bryan Edwards never lived up to his offseason hype, but since he was the 65th WR off the board, his "bust" status didn't really hurt most fantasy teams. Also, just because the players below busted this year doesn't mean you should completely fade them going forward. If a couple of these guys fall dramatically in 2022 fantasy drafts, they could have "value" written all over them.As painful as it might be for fantasy owners who drafted some of these players, let'stake a trip down memory lane. Ru sell Wilson, Seahawks (QB7)Last season, Wilson had several monster performances at the beginning of the year before tailing off late. After the Seahawks finally made an offseason change at offensive coordinator, we thought this was the year Seattle would "let Ru s cook." Unfortunately, Wilson finished this season as just the QB19 overall and QB13 in fantasy points per game Rich Hill Jersey (FPPG), so he's the obvious choice as our quarterback bust.To be fair, Wilson was the QB10 before his finger injury that cost him three games, but when he returned, he produced fewer than nine fantasy points three times and only eclipsed 20 fantasy points once. When you pay a relatively high price for a quarterback, you want more production. If he came back after this three-game absence and played well, he still could have payed off his draft position.Wilson could become a value if he falls too far in next year's fantasy drafts. There have been plenty of rumors swirling that he could request a trade from Seattle, but either way, he'll have a full offseason to recover from his finger injury, and we know his upside rivals just about any QB in the league.Honorable Mention: Ryan Tannehill, Titans Los Angeles Dodgers Jersey (QB11)We all wanted Tannehill to build off of his top-10 fantasy finish among QBs in 2020, and when Julio Jones was added to the fold with A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry, fantasy owners were expecting just that. Ultimately, Tenne see was ravaged by injuries all season long, as Henry, Brown, and Jones played together just a handful of times early in the year. If it weren't for Tannehill's seven rushing touchdowns, he would've finished even worse than the Joe Kelly Jersey QB16in FPPG (minimum eight starts). He could be a value next season depending on what Tenne see does with its roster, but you probably shouldn't consider him until the mid-QB2 range. Saquon Barkley, Giants (RB8)We all knew what the risks were with Barkley, who was one of the biggest risk-reward picks heading into preseason drafts. Everyone was fully confident in drafting Christian McCaffrey first overall (oops), but there was a ton of debate as to whether Barkley should even be a first-round pick. Ultimately he was taken with the 10th overall pick on average, and obviously, his performance has fallen well short of that spot.Between games mi sed (4) and just unproductive days, Barkley has been a nightmare of fantasy owners, and since he was such an early pick, he probably negatively impacted teams more than anyone on this list. To add insult to injury, his ADP was right around the same spot as Jonathan Taylor and Austin Ekeler, so chances are, one was available. It's a tough pill to swallow, but maybe he'll be better next year. Ironically, he played in more games than McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, and some other key RBs, so at least his durability was somewhat better. He finished as the RB35.At the end of the day, he'll fall a round or more in drafts next year, and those who like to gamble will probably take him when he falls "too far." However, unle s this offensive line sees a major overhaul, we could see similar results in 2022. At some point, you probably have to stop the freefall if your entire league is fading him, though.Mike Davis, Falcons (RB22)Davis looked great as the Panthers' lead back when Christian McCaffrey mi sed the second half of the year in 2020, and when the Falcons signed him, it looked like he was set to be a lead back for Arthur Smith. Andre Ethier Jersey When you looked at the RB depth chart, it was easy to think Davis would be a high-volume RB2 -- but then Cordarrelle Patterson showed up.Patterson went undrafted in all but very deep leagues, so he was easily the best value, and those who snagged him off waivers were rewarded with an RB1 finish. For Davis, he wasn't playable most of the year and only produced a decent day when he scored near the goal line. All in all, he was one of the biggest whiffs at ADP.Davis will be a 28-year-old RB with only one year of solid production on his resume, so no matter what team he plays for, don't get excited. Perhaps he'll have some decent value as a handcuff if he lands in the right spot.Honorable mention: Ronald Jones, Buccaneers (RB33); Zack Mo s, Bills (RB36)Jones and Mo s were both in the mix to at least get a decent workload this season -- or so we thought. Their ADPs were outside the top-30 because we knew they wouldn't be workhorse backs, but we thought they could at least be in timeshares with Leonard Fournette and Devin Singletary, respectively. However, Fournette was a true workhorse back and handled all the receiving work and red Julio Urias Jersey -zone work until his Week 15 injury. Meanwhile, none of the Bills' RBs took charge (at least until late in the year), and Mo s, who was a healthy scratch several times, was quiet after Week 3.Jones is set to become a free agent, so his value will depend on his landing spot, while Mo s will likely return to Buffalo. Unle s something drastically changes there, his prospects seem fairly dim. Allen Robinson, Bears (WR11)The offseason buzz for Robinson becam
