Fantasy football busts: QB | RB | WR | TE | PK | DT

In this article KFFL breaks down fantasy football busts of the week. Some high-level players will be included, because you need to know when is time to sit a player even though it may not seem appropriate. Primarily, however, we will address the midrange to low-end fantasy options that you rack your brain over each week. Read on to learn which of these players that you wouldn't want in your lineup.

Fantasy football busts: Tight ends

Jeremy Shockey, New Orleans Saints vs. New York Jets

Fantasy value: Midrange No. 1

• Matchup not enticing for Shockey

  Shockey has caught 14 passes for 128 yards and two scores in the first three weeks. Quarterback Drew Brees started to look his way more in the last two weeks.
• New York is allowing just 4.00 receptions and 36.3 receiving yards per game to this position over the last three weeks. They also have yet to allow an opposing tight end to score.
• The Jets haven't faced a quality TE in the last two weeks, but in Week 1 they held the Houston Texans' Owen Daniels to just four receptions for 44 yards.
• The Buffalo Bills put seven men in coverage often against the Saints last week, limiting quarterback Drew Brees to just 172 yards - the first time he threw for fewer than 200 yards in 23 games. The Jets could adopt a similar approach to keep from being burned by New Orleans' dangerous passing attack.
