Eli Manning, Quarterback, New York Giants
Stats: 280 passing yards, one touchdown, five interceptions and 3.20 fantasy points
Manning had the worst statistical performance of his career Sunday against the 49ers. The embattled Giants starter threw a whopping five interceptions, including two in the red zone in a 16-10 loss to San Francisco. He managed to finish with a total of 3.2 fantasy points, which ranked him 24th among quarterbacks.
Matthew Stafford, Quarterback, Detroit Lions
Stats: 183 passing yards, zero touchdowns and one interception and 1.32 fantasy points
Like he has throughout his career, Stafford put up a stinker of a game against a good opponent. He led the Lions to a total of six points in an eight-point loss to the Arizona Cardinals. In the process, Stafford let all of those who owned him down in a big way. He literally gave you 1.3 points more than if you had started Joe Flacco, who was on a bye. At this point in the season and with the Lions facing a tough remaining schedule, it might be time to bench Stafford in lieu of your QB2 option.
Terrance West, Running Back, Cleveland Browns
Stats: five attempts, 12 yards, zero touchdowns and 1.20 fantasy points
This rookie came into Week 11 having put up 142 yards and a touchdown in his past two games. This gave a lot of DFS players hope that he would put up a nice outing against the Houston Texans. Not only did West bomb out when all was said and done, he didn't even acquire enough opportunities to make a mark on the fantasy football world. With 12 yards on five attempts, West was easily one of the biggest busts around the fantasy football world. And in reality, this one performance should make you think twice about relying on West moving forward this season.
Trent Richardson, Running Back, Indianapolis Colts
Stats: seven attempts, zero yards, 21 receiving yards, zero touchdowns and 3.10 fantasy points
Some had drawn the conclusion, myself included, that Richardson and Ahmad Bradshaw were a nice stack option against the New England Patriots on Sunday night. Well, I surely hope you didn't listen to that recommendation. Richardson failed to put up a single yard on seven attempts and added just 3.1 fantasy points to your total point output. Yeah, that's not good.
Pierre Garcon, Wide Receiver, Washington Redskins
Stats: one reception, six yards, zero touchdowns and 1.60 fantasy points
After tallying a league-high 113 receptions last season, Garcon has seen his production drop dramatically in 2014. He put up 42 receptions in the first nine games before nabbing just one catch for six yards on two targets against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday. Joining Garcon as a potential bust is DeSean Jackson, who tallied just 35 yards on four receptions.
Larry Fitzgerald, Wide Receiver, Arizona Cardinals
Stats: two receptions, 33 yards, zero touchdowns and 5.30 fantasy points
Fitzgerald came into Sunday's action having put up 21 receptions for over 300 yards in his last three games. Unfortunately, the switch to Drew Stanton from an injured Carson Palmer really impacted his fantasy performance against Sunday. He was targeted just four times, as Michael Floyd received most of the attention from Stanton. This is something to definitely keep an eye on, especially is you're relying on Fitzgerald as a starter moving forward.
T.Y. Hilton, Wide Receiver, Indianapolis Colts
Stats: three receptions, 24 yards, zero touchdowns and 5.40 fantasy points
The entire Colts team was a bust Sunday night against New England, but Hilton's lackluster performance might have hurt fantasy owners more than anyother player on the team. He put up season low numbers in terms of receptions and yards while finishing as the 60th-ranked fantasy receiver.
