Ajayi started this season in Miami, but ended up in Philadelphia

Because he was traded mid-season, Ajayi actually had two bye weeks. With that being said, when owners spent a first-round (or sometimes second-round) on Ajayi, they were certainly not expecting two total touchdowns this season.

Ajayi rushed for over 1,200 yards last year, and while there was no guarantee that it would be repeated, the expectations was that Miami would lean heavily on him.

This is the first time in recent memory (if ever) where a fantasy first-round pick got traded in the middle of the season. Every year, the injury bug hits a handful of first-round picks.

However, it is usually not a simple lack of production that would make a first-round running back become a flex option at best. For those reasons, Ajayi was the biggest non-injury bust of the 2017 fantasy football season.
