Bust: A player with high expectations that finishes with minimal statistical results, for a variety of reasons. Chiefs running back Larry Johnson was a first-round pick in 2007, but missed eight games with a foot injury and failed to meet expectations. Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison also was drafted in the earlier rounds in 2007, but he too failed to live up to the expectations of fantasy football owners.
