Bust - Joe Horn

11 Jun, 2007 Busts

Joe Horn (WR) - Atlanta Falcons

Let us not mince words here. Joe Horn is an old fucker. While he was once a top receiver, those days are long gone. For anyone thinking a change of scenery can bring them back, you will be sorely mistaken.

The Bust Explained:
As if being the same age as Bea Arthur weren't enough to make you down on him, Horn has entered into a situation that we at MoSneaky like to call "Jesus fucking Christ is he ever screwed or what?". Enter Mike Vick, possibly the worst passing QB in the league (though surpringly good at passing the blame off to all his homies, for the stupid shit he does). Let us also mention that Horn has been hampered by injuries for the last two years. A telltale sign that Horn is on his way out. Combined with the offensive scheme in Atlanta, and Horn holds very little value to your fantasy team.

The Risk Factor:
Horn really has a VERY limited upside with Mike Vick passing (did we mean to say running?) the ball in Atlanta. Crumpler will still be his first read, and we're relatively sure Vick has never made it past that before he took off running. Horn is a big name guy, and has a likable personality. That will make him overvalued by many. We also guarantee that there are people out there still that think Mike Vick will develop into a great passer. Don't be that guy. Seriously, just don't.

The Strategy:
Horn really offers very little value to your fantasy roster. You may pick him up as a 5th or 6th WR, but don't even think of putting yourself in a situation where you might need to rely on him.
