What is Bust in fantasy football?
A bust is a player who scores far below his projection — on this site, under 75% of what we projected.
How it works in your league
Busts matter because they are usually repeatable: a shrinking role, a brutal matchup or a hidden injury. Sally and Tina each call three busts a week and get graded against real results.
