Bust of the Year:

Randy Moss: Has there ever been a more precipitous, non-injury related decline than that of Randy Moss in 2010? Heck, after week seven the guy didn't record a single week of more than three points.  Three points!  Only three years removed from the greatest receiving season in history, fantasy or otherwise, Moss was just about as big of a fantasy bust as one could ever aspire towards. Hope you got enough of that "straight cash" saved up, because your football playing days might very well be finished.

Honorable Mentions:

Ryan Matthews: Plagued with injuries, the emergence of human bowling ball Mike Tolbert, and just all around craptitude (If Sarah Palin gets refudiate, it's only fair that I should get craptitude) the promising rookie proved to be more of a fantasy headache in 2010.  It's anyone’s guess where his career will go from here.

Shonn Greene: When your white, Jewish namesake is a proven better athlete than you (I'm looking at you Bat Mitzvah), it's time to seriously reevaluate your direction in life.

Panthers Offense: (D’Angelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Steve Smith): One can have all the skill in the world, but if your quarterback is painfully, horrifically inept, it is nearly impossible to succeed in the National Football League.

Beanie Wells: Exactly two double digit fantasy weeks.  Ouch.

Brandon Marshall: See Panthers offense.

Brett Favre: I won’t even dignify this guy with as much as a blurb.  God knows we've all heard (and for the truly unfortunate, seen) just about enough from Mr. Fav-ray  this year.

Steal of the Year

Michael Vick: Long story short: in all three of my leagues, the team that was lucky enough to scoop up this freak of nature made it to the finals.  Despite missing nearly four weeks with injuries, Michael defined impact player, winning several fantasy

weeks on his arm and legs alone (the Monday night game was simply a masterpiece).  What a difference a couple of years in the joint makes.

Honorable Mentions:

Arian Foster: Few had heard of the name Arian Foster before Benjamin Tate broke his ankle in the opening preseason game of year.  What began as a mid-round curiosity quickly materialized into a bona fide fantasy stud, and the top scoring fantasy player of 2010.

Dwayne Bowe:  Bowe knows football.  After being arguable droppable through the first five weeks of the season, Dwayne somehow remade himself into unquestionably the best fantasy receiver in the league.  Though clearly not the hallmark of consistency (He caught exactly one pass in weeks 13 and 14 combined), his league-leading 15 receiving touchdowns cemented him as a fantasy superstar.

Peyton Hillis:  The great white hope! Just imagine what this guy might have done had he played for an actual NFL team.

Tom Brady:  All homerisms aside, Tom Terrific put together just about the most flawless stretch of games for any quarterback in the modern era.  After the departure of his supposed top weapon in Randy Moss, Brady ascended to an entirely new level of otherworldlyness.  Truth be told, his numbers didn’t completely translate to fantasy prowess (unless your league penalized interceptions particularly harshly), but to leave him off this list after a season of that caliber would just be wrong.

Brandon Lloyd: Few had much of a handle on what the Broncos receiving situation would be heading into 2010.  But anyone who tells you they had Brandon Lloyd anywhere close to their radar is just plain lying.  The formerly virtual unknown exploded with five 20+ point fantasy weeks and proved one of the hottest adds of the year.

BenJarvis Green-Ellis: The Law Firm proved to be the first reliable Patriots running back in nearly a decade, amassing 13 touchdowns after the departure of Laurence Maroney.  And if you happened to be in a league with a high penalty for fumbles, you were in luck, cause the guy has coughed it up all of zero times in his entire career.  With a name like that, he's gotta be good.

Heart-Breaking Injury of the Year

Ryan Grant: It took less than a half-hour into the season before Grant was done with a season-ending high ankle sprain.  Just brutal.

Honorable Mentions:

Pierre Thomas:  The highly-touted Saints back was amassing quite the heady fantasy season through the first three weeks of the season.  Sadly, an ankle injury in week four resulted in him missing the next nine weeks.

Tony Romo: The soon-to-be husband of former Miss Missouri sustained a season ending shoulder injury in week seven, effectively providing the nail in the coffin to what would be a positively miserable Cowboys campaign.

Joseph Addai: Guess none of us should have been all that surprised here.  This time it was his neck that had him out from week six on.

Dallas Clark: A wrist injury in week six spelled doom for Dallas, adding yet another blow to Indy’s depleted squad.

Jermichael Finley:  Another Packer, another season ender, this time a week four knee injury for one of the sexier picks of the draft in TE Jermichael.

Frank Gore: Owners got twelve very solid weeks out of Gore before a right hip injury shattered their hopes and dreams against the lowly Cardinals on Monday Night.

Steve Smith (NYG): Though he didn’t get officially placed in IR till mid-December, last year’s “Real” Steve Smith had a single catch post week nine with a bum knee.
