I remember the talk in NFL circuts that said some GM's feared that Bowe was the type of man that would coast once he signed his big contract.

I really don't think Bowe is coasting. I just think that he doesn't fit very well into this offense. He draws the best coverage at all times and doesn't work underneath very often, which is where 85% of Smith's passes seem to go

Gonna let you in on a little secret. Go back and look at Wrs for Philly, and other than his rookie year, look how DeSean dropped and Maclin or possession receiver gained. Bowe is the big deep threat that gets doubled covered, and in the WC don't throw INT A.Smith offense...its more to the short pass. Thus Charles and maybe Avery will be the big used targets.

So many guys on the bust list set themselves even further back this weekend. Rice, Ridley, Gore, Roddy, David Wilson, and Amendola.
MJD did himself a small favor by finding the endzone against Sea, but the rest of the numbers were trash. I doubt anyone started him anyways.
Brady took 1 step in the right direction, but it was a baby step.
Cam took a man sized stepped in the right direction with a big game.
Trent Richardson might have gotten traded off the bust list. Indy should be a much better fit for him.

Guys officialy added to the list this week:
Spiller. This injury, depending on the severity, could seal his fate as a bust. If he misses time, or is slows him down, hes in big trouble.

Guys in consideration:
Foster. He's toeing the line awfully close. This guy needs a big game real soon to ease the nerves of his owners.

Let those nervous Foster owners talk to me....he looks like a great buy low canidate.

I'm hanging on to Foster myself though this week Miller looks interesting vs starting Foster against the SeaHawks.

If you are a buy low guy, this week and the next is ideal you target Foster. Slow start and the Seahawks on deck may have some ready to cut bait.

Bowe officially added to the list. Hard to be a "bust" with a 4th round ADP though.

Still..he's been pretty awful.

Throw Tony Gonzalez on there too. His 1st reception of the season went for a TD and he's been MIA ever since.

Another TE with high ADP that isn't doing much is Witten.

Actually, unless you took Graham, drafting a top 5 TE hasn't worked out well at all. Vernon had that 1 nice game, then ran into Seattle, then got hurt.

you cant be a bust in the 4th rd? that should still be a core of your team. Bowe should defiantly be on the bust list

Injuries can land a player on the bust list. Officially on it now are Julio and Cobb.

Vick and DeMarco getting considered now, but neither player had a terribly high price tag this season.

Performance based busts who haven't been mentioned before: Calvin Johnson and Jason Witten. Vastly underperforming this year.

Keenan Allen doing his best to make the Studs list. Knowshon has solidified a top spot on the list. Eddie Lacy starting his opening arguments for his case.
