NFL Top Fantasy Ranks
With tha NFL season quickly approaching and tha fantasy season starting up now lets discuss it. Last year was a great fantasy year for players like LT, Peterson, Westbrook, Brady, Moss, Edwards, and more. This year should be just as good, if not better. Tha top 5 fantasty rankings are: LT, Adrian Peterson, Brian Westbrook, Steve Jackson, & Tom Brady. Four RB’s & only 1 QB. LT is considered one of tha greatest in tha game today. Peterson had an amazing record breaking season last year. Westbrook continued to do great, although his team didn’t do so good, Jackson only played 12 games but still broke 1,000 rushing, and Brady had one of his personal best seasons thanks to tha addition of Randy Moss. These are 5 very strong and reliable fantasy players. Tha sleepers these season are: Kevin Smith, Jabar Gaffney, Anthony Gonzalez, Matt Forte, Greg Olsen, Ryan Torain, and a few others. These players are predicted to be that player that no one thought would do it. Last year people like Derek Anderson, David Garrard, Earnest Graham, Ryan Grant, and Wes Welker all broke thru and dominated their positions. With focus on tha stars, these unknown players could break thru and have great season. There are more that have not been thought about or predicted that will blow up this season. With all eyes on tha stars and top rookies most others are forgotten very quickly. Tha rookie most looked upon right now is Darren McFadden. He could be tha missing piece for tha Raiders. Hopefully he will have a good rookie season that leads to a great career. Glen Dorsey should be one explosive DT that tears thru Offensive lines. He was amazing in college and should be tha same as a pro. Other rookies I’m focusing on are Tom Zbikowski, Aqib Talib, Trevor Laws, DeSean Jackson, Dexter Jackson, Patrick Lee, James Hardy, Will Franklin, and many others. I believe if these players get game time they should do good.
Here are tha top 5 for each position (information from NFL.com):
QB: Brady, Manning, Romo, Brees, & Palmer
RB: LT, Peterson, Westbrook, Jackson, & Addai
WR: Moss, TO, Wayne, Edwards, & Johnson
TE: Gates, Witten, Winslow, Gonzalez, & Cooley
K: Folk, Brown, Gostkowski, Crosby, & Kadeing
DST: Vikings, Chargers, Patriots, Cowboys, & Steelers
These are tha stars of tha NFL and should be in tha top of their position. Romo has great WR’s to toss to which makes it much easier. Westbrook always has solid seasons and great stats and doesn’t get enough attetion. Andre Johnson last season was injured for most of tha season, but still shined. Gates is always in tha top stats for TE’s. Kadeing is a great kicker and gets alot of chances with players like LT & Gates on his team. Steelers D is always strong and tough to get by. These are great rankings and hopefully tha players will live up to tha expectations. Fantasy is one thing that I think makes tha season so much better. How they play on tha field, affects how you do in your match up. Fantasy is a very fun way to enjoy football and learn more about teams and players. With tha fantasy leagues starting every where across tha web, drafts are beginning, rankings being made, predictions and bets being done, and fans getting prepared to begin tha new NFL Season. Lets go!
