Several NFL players underwhelmed in the Conference Championship Round for fantasy football. Andersen Pickard identifies busts at each position and their outlooks going forward in 2024-25.

The Conference Championship Round of the NFL playoffs has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up feeling very good about your matchup on Monday morning. However, this week's slate of games was stress-inducing for many fantasy football managers.

Part of that stress was caused by a group of players who drastically underachieved in the Conference Championship Round. These players simply did not meet fantasy expectations this week and it cost their managers in a big way.

Let's take a look at the biggest busts from the Conference Championship Round and their outlooks moving forward. All point totals are based on the PPR scoring system. Players who missed part of the game due to injury are exempt from being featured.

Fantasy Football Quarterback Busts

None

Fantasy Football Running Back Busts

Brian Robinson Jr., WAS - 3.6 FPTS

Robinson had another frustrating performance on Sunday, rushing 11 times for just 36 yards on the ground. He didn't catch a pass, nor did he find the end zone. Washington may look to evaluate its running back room this offseason with Robinson taking a step backward and Austin Ekeler getting older.

Austin Ekeler, WAS - 6.2 FPTS

Ekeler wasn't terrible on Sunday, but fantasy managers were left desiring more. He averaged fewer than two yards per carry and also lost a fumble in the Commanders' defeat. To his credit, the veteran added five catches to help reduce the blow in PPR leagues.

Not Will Shipley outperforming both Brian Robinson Jr and Austin Ekeler, combined lol

Isiah Pacheco, KC - 4.4 FPTS

Pacheco took a backseat to Kareem Hunt once again, rushing just five times to Hunt's 17. Hunt will remain the primary backfield option for Kansas City when they face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

Ray Davis, BUF - 0.4 FPTS

Davis was nearly absent from the Bills' game plan Sunday, rushing just two times for four yards. Nevertheless, he remains a key component of the Bills' running back depth chart ahead of the 2025 season.

Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Busts

Keon Coleman, BUF - 2.2 FPTS

Coleman caught just one of four targets on Sunday as the Bills fell to the Chiefs. The rookie showed some flashes of promise in his first NFL campaign, but he also left a lot to be desired, catching fewer than half of the passes thrown his way this year. Don't be surprised if Buffalo looks to add a true No. 1 receiver this offseason.

Dalton Kincaid and Keon Coleman combined for 3 catches for 25 yards. Not ideal production from your top picks in the last two drafts

Fantasy Football Tight End Busts

Dalton Kincaid, BUF - 3.3 FPTS

Kincaid's underwhelming sophomore season in the NFL finished with two catches for 13 yards in the AFC Championship. He could slip outside the top 12 tight ends when 2025 fantasy drafts get underway.

Travis Kelce, KC - 3.9 FPTS

Kelce caught just two passes for 19 yards on Sunday. He's been a dependable option when needed, but he's no longer a lock to be the Chiefs' top receiver every week. Nevertheless, if there's any Kansas City pass catcher to trust in the Super Bowl, it's the future Hall of Fame tight end.

No interview like a Travis Kelce post-AFC championship win interview 😂 @tkelce pic.twitter.com/4kPjMAJTAY
