Derrick Henry among 3 potential AFC North fantasy busts The Ravens , Bengals , Steelers, and Browns have a combined 12 players inside the top 100 overall ADP. Which three are at risk of being the biggest busts? Quinshon Judkins (RB23 / overall-54 ADP) might be fine fantasy-wise if he were more active through the air, or if the Browns had a plus offense.

David Montgomery’s ADP (RB20 / overall-48) is holding steady in recent weeks, which is good news for those who plan to fade him. Let an opponent think they’re getting fourth- or fifth-round value for a guy who broke only three tackles last year on 182 touches.

Which three are at risk of being the biggest busts? Rashee Rice gets the benefit of the doubt because when he starts, he's a top-10 fantasy WR with elite upside. The problem is that he's missed 22 of his last 30 regular-season games, and recently spent 30 days in jail for violating his probation.
