Fantasy Football Disappointments of the 2015-2016 Season

The 2015-16 fantasy football season has been filled with ups and downs for many top players. Among the biggest disappointments are Andrew Luck, Demarco Murray, and Peyton Manning. These players were all highly regarded and drafted early, but have failed to live up to expectations.

Luck, the Indianapolis Colts quarterback, has struggled with turnovers and inconsistency, throwing seven interceptions to just five touchdowns in three games. His completion percentage is a mere 56%, the lowest of his career. Meanwhile, Demarco Murray, the Philadelphia Eagles running back, has seen a significant decline in production, with only 29 carries for 47 yards through three games. Murray's durability has always been a concern, and he has already missed a game with hamstring issues. Peyton Manning, the Denver Broncos quarterback, has been underwhelming in fantasy, with seven interceptions and six touchdowns, a far cry from his elite status when healthy.
