Yesterday I treated you to some fantasy football wisdom, giving my list of sleepers who are primed for a big season. Today I’m providing you with some more valuable info as I give you my all-bust team. I’ll be giving you a player at each position that is destined to disappoint in 2009.

How the heck am I the highest paid player in football??...Good question

 Quarterback

Eli Manning— New York Giants: Eli Manning has always been overrated. There are a number of reasons for this: His last name is Manning, he plays in New York, and he was the Super Bowl MVP in quite possibly the greatest game ever played.  However, when it comes to fantasy football his numbers just don’t match up.  The Giants love to run, and with Brandon Jacobs why wouldn’t you?  All these rushing attempts are going to take away scoring opportunities from Manning, especially near the goal line.  Manning only attempted more than 25 passes twice last season and threw for 300 + yards only once. Compare that to a guy like Kurt Warner who attempted 25 or more passes and threw for over 300 yards seven times each!  Now he’s without Plaxico Burress and Amani Toomer, his two best receivers from a year ago.  Manning should be nothing more than bye week backup. 

Honorable Mention(s): Matt Cassel

Runningback

Brian Westbrook— Philadelphia Eagles: I had Westbrook on my squad last season and he frustrated me to no end. You might not be able to tell by looking at his numbers, since he finished as a top 10 fantasy running back last season.  However, Westbrook was an all or nothing guy. He had three or four monster games and a ton of games where he shat the bed.  A couple of those big games came when he was a game-time decision when many owners were probably forced to sit him.  In fact, he was pretty much a game-time decision the entire season.  DJ Gallo of ESPN fame said it best when he jokingly claimed that Westbrook had hyphenated his name to Brian Westbrook-Questionable because the word questionable was always attached to his name.  Westbrook will also turn 30 soon and that’s a bad number for runningbacks.

Honorobale Mention(s): LaDainian Tomlinson, Thomas Jones

Wide Receiver

Terrell Owens—Buffalo Bills: T.O. will go high because of his name—He currently has an average draft position of 31 in Yahoo! Fantasy Football Leagues—but he shouldn’t be. Owens is 35 years old now and he’ll be catching passes from Trent Edwards instead of Tony Romo.  If you can get him late then he’ll still be a good pick but he’s not worth a third or fourth round selection.

Honorable Mention(s): Eddie Royal

Tight End

Tony Gonzalez- Atlanta Falcons— I’m not saying Tony Gonzalez will have a bad year but I don’t think he warrants a fourth or fifth round pick, which is where he’s going on most draft boards.  Gonzalez had a monster year last year but he’s getting up there in age and is bound to break down sooner or later. In addition, there are a lot of unknowns that come with playing with a new team.  If he drops a couple rounds than go grab him, but don’t reach for him too soon. 

Honorable Mention (s): Kellen Winslow

Defense/ Special Teams: Baltimore Ravens: It’s hard to list the Ravens as a potential bust because they have carried a number of my fantasy squads in the past.  That being said, this is not the same Ravens team.   Bart Scott and Chris McAlister are gone and defensive coordinator Rex Ryan is now the head coach of the Jets.  However, they are being taken in the seventh round on average.  

Honorable Mention(s): Chicago
