1. Monte Ball- going into the summer I hated him, never been a fan. People were just inserting Moreno's stats into him and figured you'd have a top 5 back. As we neared the draft though I started buying into the "Manning back" hype and started targeting him......fail. Looked pretty bad even when healthy. Hillman and Anderson have both looked better when given their chances .
2. Corrdarelle Patterson- I thought he and Norv Turner were a match made in heaven. Nope, huge disappointment. I even started reaching on him a bit in some of my drafts I was such a believer.
3. Michael Floyd- thought he'd become the #1 in Zona over Fitz, but now it's debatable if he's even the #2 there.

Ball and Patterson here too. Though I do think Ball wouldve gotten going had he not been injured.

I also didnt expect Antonio Brown to have a repeat year

I over drafted Justin Hunter in a league, too

Michael Floyd - same reasons as you

Cordarrelle Patterson - thought he might have learned to run routes and thought he would be making plays left and right

Monte Ball - peyton manning RB

Torrey Smith - thought the elder Smith was done and that Torrey would be a target hog

Steve Smith Sr - see above

Pierre Garcon - thought he would be doused with targets

Michael Crabtree - thought he was going to explode this year

Kyle Rudolph - norv turner; even though he's been injured since week 3 or so, he wasn't doing shite in the offense before that and he just isn't that good

Colin Kaepernick - never been a huge fan of his passing, but I thought he would be running his arse off this season

Keenan Allen - thought he would have a top 10 season

You're also the idiot that argued until he was blue in the face about Torrey fricking Smith and him being peppered with targets, so I'm not sure what you're laughing at

Monte Ball and Ray Rice. It's burned me in half my leagues. I probably took Vereen a round too early as well. Staying away from Le'Veon Bell was another one. That YPC last year just scared me off big time. Man did that weight loss pay off big time for him.

Yes although that was midseason and more of a streamer promotion

I'll give myself Crabs, didn't get the hype. Never loved him as a player and it seemed like a lot of mouths to feed there in a running offense.

With you on Rudolph...turner and he looked great in the preseason.

Emmanuel Sanders-I thought he was being overhyped, now it looks like he was way under drafted.

Luck-I didn't think he'd be bad but I wasn't expecting him to be 1.2 qb in fantasy this year. Wound up going with Ryan instead

I didn't avoid him, but because of this I certainly didn't target him either
