When Fantasy football players hear the term "bust," they think of major disappointments who are guilty of ruining their chances of contending for a league championship. Yes, that description is on point when citing the biggest fantasy failures, but there are different levels of bust candidates for the upcoming season.

The players listed here are being overdrafted in many leagues, according to PPR Average Draft Position reports from FantasyPros.com. All of them are capable of performing below preseason expectations. Whether the draft targets included in this article flame out completely or just fall short of 2024 projections, you should think twice before drafting these running backs and wide receivers.

So which big-name running backs are on Scott Engel's busts list? And which receivers might be in for letdowns? ... Join SportsLine here to see the best Fantasy football busts of 2024, all from the inaugural Fantasy Sports Writers Association Hall of Famer!
