I'm a huge fan of Fantasy football so I thought I would put out a little Topic of the Players I personally think will do the best at their respective posistions.
QB-
1. Aaron Rodgers, GreenBay Packers.
- I feel like Rodgers as quietly been climbing his was in the Elite Category and is Primed for a breakout season. His Offensive line is healthy and looks like it will be giving him much better protection this year.
2. Peyton Manning, Indy Colts
- I dont think there's much explination needed for this guy. He simply wins and Throws TD's
3. Drew Brees, NO Saints
- Leader of a High Octane passing offense Brees showed us why he is a top QB in this league last season taking his team to the Super Bowl. My only fear is a SB Hangover.
4. Tom Brady, NE Patriots
- Same as Manning, He's a Proven QB and good for atleast 200 yards and 2 TD's a Game.
5. Matt Schaub, Houston Texans
- He is surrounded by phenominal talent with a good back field that loves to catch the ball. so long as he limits his Mistakes he will be a Fantasy Stud.
Sleepers:

Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons
- Matt is coming a long and climbing the ladder in the league when it comes to numbers. He has Michael Turner in the backfield which brings the Defense up and gives him the holes to Throw to Tony Gonzales and Roddy White.
Kevin Kolb, Philly Eagles
- The Eagles are a Pass First team with GREAT talent at Receiver in Desean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin starting, Brent Celek and Lesean McCoy out of the Backfield.
RB-
1. Maurice Jones-Drew, Jax Jaguars
- A lot of Fantasy drafts have Chris Johnson as the number one overall pick. Not I sirs. MJD is the Jacksonville offense. I believe ht epassing game will be improved this season and MJD just gets the ball whether swing passes or rushing he is consitently making plays.
2. Chris Johnson, Tenn Titans
- 2000 yards rushing, 2500+ total yards will bring your name to the front of the pack in a heart beat. Now Teams will find a way to make VY beat them instead of CJ. Maybe he hits 1500 yards again, but still a solid pick
3. Adrian Peterson, Minn Vikings
- He's worked hard this offseason to change the way he carries the rock so hopefully his fumbles will decrease and his numbers will increase. He had the best Statistical season of his career last year...and with the WR's questionable, AP will be leaned on a lot early on
4. Rashard Mendenhall, Pitt Steelers
- After taking over the starting Role last season he showed why he is a Top 5 Fantasy back. Pitt just runs the ball. Period.
5. Ray Rice, Baltimore Ravens
- Rice was a top back last season because of his ability to run and catch out of the backfield. I expect nothing less out of this Ravens offense this season. Especially with the Adition of Anquan Boldin.
Sleepers:
Spoiler
Any AFC Running back that isnt a Bronco.
Ryan Matthews, Michael Bush, and Jamaal Charles look like they have something to prove. The ball will be ran in the West.
Jahvid Best, Detroit Lions
- This may be a California Biast but I personally feel that Best is going to bring alot of excitement to the RB position in DET, most since Barry.
WR-
1. Andre Johnson, Houston Texans
- How Andre goes, the texans go. He's an animal and will produce.
2. Reggie Wayne, Indy Colts
- Peyton Manning is his QB...He dropped about 15 lbs so he should be lighter on his feet which means better routes if its even possible for him.
3. Desean Jackson, Philly Eagles
- He always seems to be able to break big plays and Him and Kolb have a great chemistry. So long as he can stay healthy Djacks will produce numbers
4. Randy Moss or Wes Welker
- They are NE's Offense.
5. Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
- My only concern with Fitz is who is going to be throwing it to him. He's a stud, but he needs a consistent QB to get him the ball
Sleepers:
Spoiler
There are way too many receivers to not have a decent corp now a days but here's a couple I think will be above average
Miles Austin, Cowboys. Jabar Gaffney, Denver. Greg Jennings, GB. Pierre Garcon, Indy. Brandon Marshall, MIA. Calvin Johnson, DET. Malcolm Floyd, SD. Anquan Boldin, BAL. Santana Moss, WAS. Steve Smith, NYG and CAR.
That should be enough, but honestly just about every team has a good WR that is worth a Draft. Even the Raiders with Louis Murphy
TE-
1.Anotonio Gates, SD Chargers
- With Vincent Jackson holding out and a Rookie RB I see Rivers and Gates breaking 1000 yards and 10 TD's easily together
2. Jason Witten, Dallas
- Tony Romo's favorite target gets open and catches the ball. Simple as that.
3. Vernon Davis, SF
- When Alex Smith entered the starting role last Year Vernon showed why he was a Top ten pick. I expect big things from the Bay this year.
4. Dallas Clark, IND
- One of Peytons favorite targets especially in the Red Zone. Always a Solid Pick
5. Tony Gonzales, ATL
- He's been too good for too long not to put him in the top 5 TE's/. He had over 130 targets last season from Matt Ryan, I dont see any reason for htis to dip this year.
Sleepers
Brent Celek, PHI- Idk how much of a "sleeper" he is anymore after his near 1000 yard season, but he didnt fit the top 5 for me.
Jermichael Finley, GB-- Him and Rodgers have a good chemistry going and he is a missmatch for most LB's with his speed.
Zach Miller, Oakland Raiders-- Their Best offensive weapon now has a QB who loves his TIght End (no homo) he just may Make the Pro bowl this season.
Defense:
1. Jets- They are a nasty hard nose defense that lights up the other team. Even if Revis holds out all season I dont see them slacking too much.
2. Green Bay Packers - They have an amazing CB duo in Charles Woodson and Al Harris. I see them picking up RIght where they left off last season.
3. Eagles- One of the best blitzing teams in the league, they will give you sacks and turnovers.
4. San Francisco 49ers- This may be a stretch, but from what I've seen in the preseaon and the end of last season... This Defense is scary good led by Tackling monster Patrick Willis
5. Ravens-- When you think Ravens you think Defense. With the addition of Terrance Cody The run D will be even better...my only concern here is their 2ndary.
Sleepers
Raiders-- I know what your thinking...but I feel there has been a huge change in oakland. With the drafting of Rolando McClain,Lamar Houston, and Walter McFadden along with Trade/FA additons Kameron Wimbley, Jon Henderson, and Quentin Groves...They have bolstered not only the 1st Team D, but the rotation...with a QB on offense to keep the Defense off the field, this D could be Top 10 in the league if they play up to their potential
Washington Redskins.-- Last season the defense was very stout rarely giving up more than 17 points. The only problem is they had no offense behind them to keep them off the field. If Shannehan lets Haynesworth start, this Defense could be scary good.
Kickers-
I'm not gonna rank the kickers, my advice...pick the kicker of a High Scoring team or a Low scoring team with a strong leg.
Suggestions: Adam Vinetieri. Nate Kaeding, Ryan Longwell, Sebastian Janikowski, David Akers.
Rarely do Kickers Win/lose fantasy games.
I hope this helps you in some way shape or form. The trick to fantasy is paying attention to match-ups and injuries. While Ray Rice may be a better Tail back than say Steve Slaton, but if you have Rice against the Jets and Slaton Vs the Rams...I would feel better with Slaton that week.
Feel free to ask any advice about your favorite team or players, I am really good at this. I finished first in 2 of my 3 leagues last season, finishing 2nd in the 3rd because of a BS 200 yard + game by Jabar Gaffney, lost by 7 points lol
