Fantasy Football 2006: Draft Tip #10

Whose career is falling faster than President Bush's popularity rating?

Who has the Fantasy Football point earning potential of Donovan McNabb's mom?

Who is the player most likely to hear those famous words: "Not him, we had him on our team last time!"?

That's right; it's time for my 2006 Fantasy Football Bombs.

Bomb #5: Peerless Price
  • Dive! Dive! Dive! This one is sinking faster than the "Red October". Being back in Buffalo means nothing when you are opposite Lee Evans and trying to catch whatever is left from J.P. Losman.
Bomb #4: Joe Horn
  • In a city where music rules, Horn should be thinking about playing something related to his last name rather than football. He won't disappear completely, but don't expect a 1,000 yards.
Bomb #3: Charles Rogers
  • Injuries, off-field issues, attitude problems, and you expect anyone to actually trust this guy? I like Kitna, but even if Rogers avoids his annual broken collarbone, Roy Williams will still be #1 here.
Bomb #2: Fragile Fred Taylor
  • Just park the ambulance on the sideline. It won't take long. Greg Jones will take over soon.
Bomb #1: Reggie Bush
  • Everyone expects Reggie to come in and rip up the league. Yeh, the kid has talent and ability, but, he is still a rookie and it takes time for the game to slow down. He may have a good year. Good, but not great. He will split carries with Deuce. Besides, how many times have you seen a Heisman trophy winner stand out in his first year? I'm not saying he's not going to be great eventually, just not this year.
Next up in part 11, revisiting the rookies.
