It's just two weeks, but I figured I'd start a topic about bargains and busts. This topic is about players you DRAFTED that exceeded expectations and players you drafted that you would consider taking back in retrospect. Here are mine (from the two leagues I play in):
Picks I really liked in retrospect were:
Jordan Matthews (39th overall). The Eagles suck, and Matthews has a few drops. But he still gets points anyway.
Amari Cooper (45th overall). I think he's going to be 95% of what a rookie AJ Green was a few years ago.
Brandon Marshall (53rd overall). Fitzmagic has made his WRs look good in fantasy before, and Marshall is off to a strong start in 2015.
Martavis Bryant (101st overall, 111th overall. Got him in both leagues). Can't wait for week 5. The Steelers offense is ridiculous right now.
David Johnson (last pick, both leagues). Really glad I didn't chance him sitting on waiver wires.
Picks that didn't work out like I hoped:
Demarco Murray (18th overall). I still think he ends up a top 15 RB in standard because of receiving yards and TDs. But that Philly OL is garbage, holy shit.
Frank Gore (29th overall). The sad part about this is that Gore actually looks faster than ever. I'll be patient with Gore, but the Colts offense looks like shit right now.
Joseph Randle (58th overall). The hard thing about Fantasy Football is the balancing act between talent and situation. Randle's talent sucks, but his situation entering the season was sublime. It's kind of like owning Montee Ball last year.
Nelson Agholor (98th overall). I thought Agholor was the most over-rated WR in the NFL draft this year, but he had a chance to be the #2 receiver on a really good offense. So far he only has 4 catches for 36 yards over two games out of 89 total pass attempts.
Sam Bradford (141st overall). Bradford actually looked really good in the second half of the Falcons game, but he's been garbage otherwise. I hate to admit it, but I built my draft strategy at QB around getting him late.
