Summary
Looking at the Top 8 picks in average draft position, who is the biggest bust risk? Is it Jonathan Taylor now that Carson Wentz has a foot injury? We'll tell you what RBs have to do to thrive on bad offenses and if Taylor can do it. Then we've got news and notes (4:40) including more reaction to the Wentz injury and what to expect from the Lions backfield (11:15) ... Everyone is a bust! We make bust cases for the very best players in Fantasy starting with Christian McCaffrey (14:30) and Dalvin Cook (18:30). Will the offenses hold them back? Things get more interesting as we discuss Alvin Kamara (21:30) who will likely be on the worst offensive team of his career and Derrick Henry (28:00) who has shouldered a lot of work in the last two seasons ... More bust cases for studs including Ezekiel Elliott (33:25), Jonathan Taylor, Austin Ekeler (38:10) and Travis Kelce (41:00). We're already concerned about Ekeler's goal line opportunities, and could CEH make Kelce a bust?. Later we react to the DeVonta Smith news (45:00) ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
