Top 30 Fantasy Football Players |
|
|
Christmas time is almost here and the one thing most of us have done in our lifetime is make a Christmas list. This year my Christmas list is a little different. I decided to make a list of the things I want to see happen as the season goes on.
Adrian Peterson in the Playoffs - Who doesn’t want to see the most explosive player in the NFL in the playoffs? He’s the best rookie since Randy Moss and he’s the type of player you tune into to see.
The Browns winning the AFC North - I want to see the Browns win the AFC North. Their offense is young and exciting. Plus I’d like to see Cleveland host a playoff game.
Green Bay getting home field advantage - I want to see the road to the Super Bowl run through Green Bay and New England. 2 cold weather teams and that’s how football is meant to be in my opinion.
Dallas vs. Green Bay rematch and Indianapolis vs. New England rematch - Now if you’re a fan of a team in the playoffs you obviously want that respective team to make it to the Super Bowl. If your just a fan then who doesn’t want to see the 4 best teams through the course of this season play each other. Favre vs. Romo and then Brady vs. Manning. That’s the best Championship Sunday card we’ve had in a long time.
Point scale:
1 point for 25 passing yards
1 point for 10 rushing yards
1 point for 10 receiving yards
6 points for passing TD
6 points for rushing or receiving TD
1. Adrian Peterson, RB, Minnesota Vikings
Peterson’s 2 touchdowns against the Bears is the only thing that kept him from descending on my list.
2. Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots
Bad game by Brady but he’s really only had one poor game all year long which makes it hard for me to put him lower than this.
3. Ladainian Tomlinson, RB, San Diego Chargers
Everyone is jumping on the Chargers bandwagon but I’m not. I won’t take Norv Turner over Bill Belichick or Tony Dungy in a playoff game.
4. Brain Westbrook, RB, Philadelphia Eagles
How many fantasy owners screamed at their television when Westbrook went down purposely on the one yard line? Smart football play though.
5. Randy Moss, WR, New England Patriots
Moss needs 4 touchdowns in 2 games to break Jerry Rice’s TD record.
6. Terrell Owens, WR, Dallas Cowboys
TO seems like a bomb waiting to explode.
7. Joseph Addai, RB, Indianapolis Colts
Addai has 14 total touchdowns this year.
8. Tony Romo, QB, Dallas Cowboys
Romo is pushing 20 interceptions but has 35 touchdowns. Sounds like a typical Brett Favre type of year.
9. Willie Parker, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Another 100 yards for Parker and another loss for the Steelers.
10. Brett Favre, QB, Green Bay Packers
Favre threw another 2 touchdowns against the Rams.
11. Braylon Edwards, WR, Cleveland Browns
Edwards is 5th in receiving yards and 3rd in touchdowns.
12. Reggie Wayne, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Wayne will join Randy Moss as the two AFC starting receivers.
13. Willis McGahee, RB, Baltimore Ravens
McGahee ran for 100 yards and the Ravens still managed to be the first team to lose to the Dolphins.
14. Peyton Manning, QB, Indianapolis Colts
Manning and the Colts had a tough outing against the Raiders.
15. Ben Roelisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers
“Big Ben” will be going to his 1st Pro Bowl.
16. Derek Anderson, QB, Cleveland Browns
Talk about a snow bowl. Anderson didn’t have much to work with when he can’t see who he’s throwing too.
17. Clinton Portis, RB, Washington Redskins
Portis has run for 1,000 yards this year and you could argue he deserved to make the Pro Bowl over Marion Barber.
18. Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Arizona Cardinals
Fitzgerald has 7 touchdowns in his last 5 games.
19. Marion Barber III, RB, Dallas Cowboys
Barber making the Pro Bowl should be a memo to Dallas. Give him the ball more.
20. Greg Jennings, WR, Green Bay Packers
Jennings probably should’ve gone to the Pro Bowl but Donald Driver got elected instead.
21. Jamal Lewis, RB, Cleveland Browns
Lewis is the perfect running back for a snow game as we saw this past Sunday.
22. Jason Witten, TE, Dallas Cowboys
Witten had another 100 yard game against the Eagles.
23. T.J. Houshmandzadeh, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
T.J. has 5 or more catches in every game but 1 this season.
24. Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Seattle Seahawks
Hasselbeck and the Seahawks really blew it against the Panthers.
25. Plaxico Burress, WR, N.Y. Giants
The Giants are going to have to get Burress the ball more now with Shockey out.
26. Wes Welker, WR, New England Patriots
Welker is among a slew of great AFC receivers that missed the Pro Bowl because only 4 can go.
27. Fred Taylor, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
There used to be a rule that you shouldn’t draft Fred Taylor because he’ll get hurt. So much for that. His 4 consecutive 100 yard games has made him one of the better fantasy running backs in some league’s playoffs.
28. Chad Johnson, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Before the year started, who would’ve thought that T.J. Houshmandzadeh would be heading to Hawaii and not Chad Johnson?
29. Justin Fargas, RB, Oakland Raiders
Fargas had to fight for his yards against the Colts and managed to get in the end zone too.
30. Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints
Brees has 10 touchdowns in his last 4 games. |
