As much as there are sleepers in fantasy football, there are the busts. They are the high profile, high-round picks that derail a fantasy football team faster than a stay in a Hollywood rehab clinic. And when you were busy watching Lamont Jordan tank your team into the abyss, you no doubt were thinking that this should've been predicted before the season started. That is where the Bruno Boys come in. Here are four sure-fire busts as predicted by the Bruno Boys to stay away from this season at the quarterback position.
Ranking System: The higher the "Bring out the Pepto" ranking, the more likely a player is to bust.

Brett Favre – Green Bay Packers
There is no doubt that Brett Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks and all-around good goody guys in NFL history. The problem is, Favre is past his prime and his all-or-nothing approach is leading to more turnovers. Favre did bounce back from a disappointing 2005 season to throw for 3,885 yards with 18 touchdowns and 18 interceptions.
In Green Bay, Favre is playing behind a bad offensive line with a rookie running back and only one true receiving threat. Donald Driver is a nice receiver and if Greg Jennings is healthy, Jackson can become a 1,000-yard rusher and Donald Lee can emerge as an option at tight end, then perhaps Favre can put together a solid 2007 season. But that is a lot of "ifs."
It is clear that Favre does not belong with the Packers, and trying to fit a square peg in a round hole does not lead to good results. Favre can still throw it, but too often it is to the wrong team. For this, Favre receives FOUR BOTTLES OF PEPTO.
Ranked 14th in the Bruno Boys Fantasy Football Draft Cheat Sheet, Favre could very well revert to his 2005 numbers. The reason is because the Packers are full of uncertainty in the running game, which could allow teams to sit back in coverage because they know Favre will have to chuck it.
