We discuss what went wrong for some of the biggest busts of 2025 and what needs to go right for them in 2026. This list includes Justin Jefferson, Jayden Daniels and Saquon Barkley. First, we've got a lot of news and notes (3:45) including an update on Rashee Rice plus what the Eagles and 49ers offenses could look like ... Getting into the biggest busts of 2025, we start with Brian Thomas Jr. (13:10). The targets and efficiency were much worse. Were injuries to blame? Can he bounce back? What about Nico Collins (24:15)? Just how big of a bust was he, anyway? And Justin Jefferson (31:55) was kind of an easy one to analyze and seems like a good candidate to bounce back ... Saquon Barkley (39:00) was certainly a bust, but was it mostly because he had such a big workload in 2024? What were the other contributing factors? When should you draft him? Ladd McConkey (46:40) did not come through for Fantasy managers in 2025 and we'll tell you what we may have missed when we evaluated him a year ago. We also discuss Jayden Daniels (1:00:00) and talk about which of these six players is most likely to bounce back in 2026 ... Email us at
