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 - Week 2: QB | RB | WR | TE | PK | DT

Greg Olsen, Chicago Bears vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Fantasy value: Midrange No. 1

• Thought to have a good matchup against the Green Bay Packers last week, Olsen was held to just one catch for eight yards.
• Pittsburgh gave up 53 receiving yards (16th fewest) and seven receptions (fourth most) to the Tennessee Titans tight ends in Week 1. We admit this could go either way without safety Troy Polamalu (knee), so temper your expectations.
• The above stat might leave you scratching your head. Well, the Steelers play a 3-4 defense similar to the Dom Capers-coached unit in Green Bay, one that creates plenty of pressure on the QB and took away Olsen last week.
