Question

What big time names should you AVOID drafting in fantasy football?

Answer 1

There are some names I'll throw out that could be a hit-or-miss (potential bust) kind of season and the reason why...

- QB Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle

He a quality QB and should be the number one on the Fantasy QB depth chart. Even though he's a sure shot, I'm not convinced on his receiving crop. Deion Branch is currently battling injuries and just lost his favorite receiver (and preseason favorite) Bobby Engram for two months. Nate Buerlson looks to be the number one guy to start the season but there isn't any quality WR in Seattle. No offense to Julius Jones, but the running game isn't going to get Hasselbeck out of the jam.

-  RB Ryan Grant, Green Bay

He's projected as a second round pick this year after coming out of nowhere to claim the RB job. There are some danger sign on Grant, as he stage a holdout to get a new contract. Brett Favre is no longer the starting QB in Green Bay and worse, Grant is dealing with a hamstring injury. Grant value will live and die by how Aaron Rodgers fare this season and while I wouldn't completely avoid him, his stock should drop a bit, with second-year RB Brandon Jackson lurking around.

- RB Ahman Green, Houston

He's no longer a viable fantasy option like he was back in GB, dealing with injuries and poor offensive line. A groin injury has help Chris Brown (not the R&B star) rise to the top of the depth chart for now and reaching 31, Green is a potential bust again.

- RB Willis McGahee, Baltimore

Being pick as early as the third round, McGahee is now trying to get healthy as a knee surgery will keep him out for a month, meaning he'll likely miss the first few games of the season. Even worse, the offensive line is not one of the best and I just don't have faith in any Ravens QB right now. Rookie Ray Rice looks to be the guy right now and could keep the job if he plays well, even if McGahee returns.

- WR Brandon Marshall, Denver

He's starts the season with a suspension for gun charges during the offseason but might not warrant enough to be a bust this season. Still, you have to worry about his troubles.

- RB Earnest Graham, Tampa Bay

Coach Jon Gruden just doesn't have enough faith in Graham as the starting RB, but who else is Gruden going to rely too for the running game? Warrick Dunn? Yeah right, but Graham is still a potential bust with an aging offense.

- RB Laurence Maroney, New England

As long as Tom Brady is on his A-game, Maroney is not going to get many touches now that the Patriots sign former Raider LaMont Jordan. He still has some value but I doubt his luck would change this season.
