Jamey Eisenberg's 2025 Fantasy Football All-Bust Team: Jackson, Jefferson, Barkley & More

Quarterback Bust: Lamar Jackson

• 🏈 Lamar Jackson is named the quarterback of the All-Bust team due to inconsistent production, scoring 18.6 fantasy points or less in five games.
• 🎯 Despite high expectations as the number two quarterback in ADP, he only played 10 healthy games prior to week 18.
• 💡 There is hope for a bounce-back season, potentially at a better value, if he remains healthy and the new coaching staff enhances his skills.

Running Back Busts: Saquon Barkley & Ashton Jeanty

• 🏃 Saquon Barkley is recognized for a significant drop in performance from his 2024 season, averaging 14.5 PPR points per game compared to 22.2 in the previous year.
• 📈 Ashton Jeanty is included due to overhyped expectations and a performance that did not meet draft day value, not even outperforming other rookie running backs on a points-per-game basis.
• 🛠️ Concerns for Barkley include offensive line issues and inconsistent usage in the passing game, though flashes of his breakaway speed were still visible.

Wide Receiver Busts: Justin Jefferson, Brian Thomas Jr., & Ladd McConkey

• 🌟 Justin Jefferson struggled significantly outside of games with Carson Wentz, averaging 10.7 PPR points per game in other starts, a stark contrast to expectations.
• 📉 Brian Thomas Jr. had a disastrous season, averaging 10.1 PPR points per game after a promising rookie year, with injuries and competition contributing to his struggles.
• 🎯 Ladd McConkey also underperformed relative to his rookie season, averaging 11.3 PPR points per game and experiencing a lack of targets in the latter half of the season.

Tight End Bust: T.J. Hockenson

• 🤕 T.J. Hockenson is identified as the bust tight end, drafted as the number six tight end but finishing as the 26th, averaging only 7.5 PPR points per game.
• 📊 This selection was based on ADP versus actual finish, with other tight ends like Brock Bowers and Sam LaPorta also having cases for underperformance.

Flex Bust: Alvin Kamara

• 🚶 Alvin Kamara is the flex selection, averaging a career-low 9.2 PPR points per game and missing the final five games of the season.
• 📉 Despite being drafted 31st overall, his production was lacking, and he failed to deliver for fantasy managers, marking the second consecutive year of disappointment.
• ⏳ At 31 years old, his future in the league is uncertain, with hopes for one more comeback attempt.
