With fans waiting for the regular season to start, so that the pitiful games of the preseason can be forgotten, they also want to know which players to use in their fantasy football league. Just knowing which players have the most hype or which players are the most popular won’t always win you games, let alone help you gain points. This is why it is necessary to compare which players are busts or breakouts, as it will help you out in the future, when trying to pick out the best possible line up. Let’s take a look at the Top 10 Busts and Breakouts that you should either avoid or focus on before the NFL regular season starts.
| BREAKOUT | BUST |
| RB Ameer Abdullah | QB Nick Foles |
| RB Joseph Randle | WR Steve Smith Sr. |
| WR Allen Robinson | WR Roddy White |
| WR Martavis Bryant | QB Cam Newton |
| TE Tyler Eifert | QB Colin Kaepernick |
| WR John Brown | RB DeMarco Murray |
| WR Jordan Matthews | RB Carlos Hyde |
| WR Charles Johnson | TE Dwayne Allen |
| RB C.J. Spiller | RB T.J. Yeldon |
| QB Sam Bradford | Buffalo Bills Offense |
We are seeing a lot of veterans fall from grace, as their performance so far during the preseason, as well as at training camps has not been the best in their career. We mention that the Buffalo Bills offense is a bust, mostly due to the fact that they lack a good QB on the field, with the wasted talent of their wide receivers Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, and Percy Harvin with no one to pass them the ball. These players were once regarded as good bets, so hopefully they prove us wrong when the regular season begins; however, not very likely.
Simply looking at the breakouts we can see one thing in common, their energy and motivation when on the field. It seems they are taking advantage of every chance they get to show the fans, coaches, and owners what they are capable of, and their talent doesn’t hurt either. These are solid players to have on your fantasy football team, as they may not outperform the star players, but they will surprise most with their performances.
