Gary Barnidge-TE-Cleveland Browns

I wasn’t a huge fan of Barnidge coming into this season, and for one week at least–I got that one right. RG3 is too much of a vertical passer to get him involved, and Barnidge was really only productive last season when Josh McCown was forcing him tons of targets.

Barnidge may turn things around eventually, but he had a disastrous Week 1. He was only targeted twice, and to make matters worse he dropped both passes thrown his way.

He can’t get any worse than his zero points, but he may not get much better either. If you own and started Barnidge, you had as many fantasy points as he did making him one of the biggest fantasy football busts of the week.
