Biggest Fantasy Football Busts Of The Week - Fantasy Outlooks For D'Andre Swift, Tank Bigsby, CeeDee Lamb, DJ Moore, Brian Thomas Jr., more

Brian Thomas Jr - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

The 10th Sunday of the 2024 NFL season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your matchup went. However, this week's slate of games was certainly stress-inducing for many fantasy football managers.

Part of that stress was caused by a group of players who drastically underachieved in Week 10. These players simply did not meet fantasy expectations this week, and it cost their managers in a big way.

Let's take a look at the biggest busts from Week 10, as well as whether or not we can still have some trust in these players moving forward. All point totals are based on the PPR scoring system. Players who missed part of the game due to injury are exempt from being featured.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2024:

 

Fantasy Football Quarterback Busts

Sam Darnold, 8.9 FPTS

Darnold led four scoring drives in Sunday's win, but he also threw three interceptions and failed to register a touchdown. He'll need to get right before facing an underrated Titans defense next week.

Caleb Williams, 7.5 FPTS

Williams threw for just 120 yards, failed to score a touchdown, and took nine sacks on Sunday. He simply had no answer for the Patriots' defense despite being surrounded by numerous weapons. He's no longer a dependable QB1 option heading into Week 11 of fantasy football.

Aaron Rodgers, 5.6 FPTS

Rodgers completed nearly two-thirds of his passes on Sunday but failed to register a touchdown. He finished with just 151 passing yards and also lost a fumble. The veteran quarterback is nothing more than a mid-range fantasy QB2 for Week 11 against Indianapolis.

Cooper Rush, -1.5 FPTS

Nobody was banking on Rush this week, but he's still worth mentioning since he scored negative points. In other words, managers in two-quarterback leagues would have been better off leaving an empty lineup spot than starting Rush. After just one start, it's already time to talk about Trey Lance potentially taking over as the Cowboys' starting quarterback in Week 11. Avoid Rush at all costs.

 

Fantasy Football Running Back Busts

D'Andre Swift, 7.5 FPTS

Swift tallied a modest 65 scrimmage yards and failed to find the end zone during Sunday's 16-point loss to New England. This was his worst game since Week 3, but he might not be in the clear quite yet. He gets a very difficult matchup next week in the form of the Packers, who have a strong run defense.

Tank Bigsby, 0.4 FPTS

Bigsby suffered an ankle injury in Week 10 and only touched the ball just twice on Sunday as Travis Etienne Jr. returned to the starting running back role. Bigsby should be benched in most fantasy leagues when the Jaguars face a strong Titans run defense in Week 11.

Javonte Williams, 2.7 FPTS

Week 10 belonged to Audric Estime. Williams rushed the ball just once, adding a pair of catches along the way. He finished Sunday's game with just three touches and can be avoided in most fantasy leagues when he faces the Falcons next week.

Saquon Barkley, 8.8 FPTS

Scoring 8.8 fantasy points isn't terrible, but managers certainly expected more from Barkley in a favorable matchup versus Dallas. He's in a great position to bounce back against the Commanders' subpar run defense next week.

 

Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Busts

Zay Flowers, 7.4 FPTS

Fantasy managers would have liked to see a little more production out of Flowers, who has tallied fewer than eight fantasy points in 40 percent of his games this year. There are a lot of mouths to feed in Baltimore and Week 10 simply wasn't Flowers' week.

Xavier Worthy, 2.1 FPTS

Worthy caught just one of four targets for 11 yards on Sunday. He continues to be an inconsistent producer on offense, especially as he loses opportunities to DeAndre Hopkins and Travis Kelce. The rookie can be benched in most 12-team leagues when he faces the Bills in Week 11.

CeeDee Lamb, 8.4 FPTS

Lamb's showing in PPR leagues was mediocre at best, and it only got worse in half-PPR and standard leagues. He caught six passes on Sunday but was held to just 21 receiving and three rushing yards. He drops outside the WR1 tier now that Cooper Rush and Trey Lance are quarterbacking the Dallas Cowboys.

DJ Moore, 5.7 FPTS

Moore was held to fewer than 35 receiving yards for the fourth week in a row, as well as the fifth time over his last six games. His fantasy value is largely dependent on Caleb Williams' performance under center and the coaching staff's ability to keep the offense on the field. As Williams continues to struggle, Moore slips further away from the WR1 tier. He's now a high-end WR3 option heading into Week 11 against Green Bay.

Brian Thomas Jr., 3.2 FPTS

Mac Jones completed just 14 passes Sunday and only two of those went to Thomas. The rookie receiver has been featured in this article two weeks in a row and faces another challenge in the form of the Lions next week.

DeVonta Smith, 3.4 FPTS

The Eagles didn't need to give Smith a whole lot of looks Sunday. He finished with just two catches for 14 yards, but Philadelphia still won handedly. He'll be a high-end WR2 next week in a matchup against the Commanders that could be far more competitive.

Jordan Addison, 4.9 FPTS

Addison had six opportunities on Sunday, but he finished Week 10 with just three touches and 29 scrimmage yards. He wasn't able to win the battle for touches against guys like Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson, Aaron Jones, and Josh Oliver. He'll rank as a WR3/FLEX option against the Titans in Week 11.

 

Fantasy Football Tight End Busts

Hunter Henry, 2.4 FPTS

Henry converted four targets into just one reception for 14 yards. He had caught 23 passes for 234 yards and one touchdown over the previous four weeks, so his quiet showing in Chicago was not only disappointing but also surprising for many fantasy managers. He'll enter Week 11 versus the Rams as a mid-range TE2.

Cole Kmet, 3.3 FPTS

Kmet caught two of his four targets for 13 yards on Sunday. The talented tight end has suddenly lost his fantasy appeal and is no longer a dependable TE1 option heading into Week 11 against Green Bay.

Jake Ferguson, 4.4 FPTS

Ferguson caught four passes on Sunday but lost a fumble. He was a decent short-range option for Rush, but his yardage total struggled as a result. The 25-year-old is a high-end TE2 heading into Week 11 against Houston.

Tyler Conklin, 1.8 FPTS

Rodgers did just enough to salvage the fantasy performances of Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams, but Conklin wasn't as lucky. He was held to just one catch for the second week in a row. He's nothing more than a low-end TE2 heading into Week 11 against the Colts.
