Dwayne Bowe followed up two strong seasons with one that never quite got off the ground in 2009. Hampered by a tough offseason and a four-game suspension from the NFL for violating their substance abuse policy, Bowe ended up starting just 9 games last year en route to the worst of his three seasons in the league thus far. There were some positives though, as Somewhere Over the Dwayne Bowe was targeted in the double-digits by his QB Matt Cassel during six of those nine games, which shows Cassel’s affinity for his big-play receiver. Still, Bowe dropped too many passes, ate too many double cheeseburgers, and let down fantasy owners galore (and his teammates) in his supposed “breakout season”.
