Title: Its Better to Burn Out Than Fade Away
Post by PrimeTime on Oct 7^th, 2003, 11:11pm

Is it just me or are there a lot of guys fading away this year?

It is painful to watch former fantasy football studs like Emmitt Smith, Eddie George, Curtis Martin, and Ed McCaffery simply fade away as their stars grow dimmer and dimmer...

Here are my lists. Feel free to make additions.

Starting to fade away:
Rich Gannon
Bret Favre
Jeff Garcia
E. James
Cory Dillion
C. Garner
Joe Horn
Rod Smith
Troy Brown
Key Johnson
I. Bruce
J. Smith
K. McCardell
Tony Gonzalez

Star is very Dim
K. Warner
C. Martin
M. Anderson
J. Bettis
D. Staley
E. McCaffery
Tim Brown
W. Chrebet
J. Morton

No Light Left
V. Testeverde
K. Stewert
M. Brunell
E. George
E. Smith
A. Smith
C. Conway
M. Muhammad
Chad Lewis
F. Wycheck
W. Walls

Good lists! However, I disagree with a few...

Jimmy Smith has played only one game (because of a suspension), but looked like he has plenty left. I wouldn't write off Johnnie Morton yet either - he seems to be finding a nice role in KC. And finally, Antowain Smith busted out for more than 100 yards this past week when finally given the carries (against a decent Tenn. defense no less). He too might still have a comeback left in him.

Some others...?
Stacey Mack, Jerry Rice, Bill Schroeder, Byron Chamberlain, Cam Cleeland...
