Quarterbacks
1. Tom Brady – No question here. A “Madden like” 30 total TD and 2 interceptions.
2. Tony Romo- Has cooled in recent weeks but should pick it up again vs. Eagles.
3. Brett Favre- Everyone’s favorite septuagenarian could play 2-3 more years.
4. Derek Anderson- May share a car with wife but shouldn’t split time on fantasy rosters.
5. Peyton Manning- Who else wants to slap that kid in the Labyrinth like Sprint commercial?

Running Backs
1. Adrian Peterson- This is what Jon Gruden envisioned for Cadillac Williams.
2. Brian Westbrook- Most underrated player in the league. On pace for 1,800 total yards.
3. LaDainian Tomlinson- The decline in production was inevitable.
4. Joseph Addai- Kenton Keith may actually be preserving him for a fantasy stretch run.
5. Marion Barber III- Scores a TD every 17 touches.

Wide Receivers
1. Randy Moss- It’s almost like Oakland never happened.
2. Braylon Edwards- I bet the Niners, Dolphins, Bucs and Bears are kicking themselves.
3. T.J. Houshmandzadeh- Ocho Sucko could learn a lot from the way TJ carries himself.
4. Wes Welker- It’s unbelievable to watch how the Pats use him to exploit mismatches.
5. Plaxico Burress- For all of his success, eternally looks like he’s sleep walking.

Tight Ends
1. Antonio Gates- Last week’s performance showed why it’s him and then everyone else.
2. Jason Witten- Over last 2 years, only Gates and Gonzalez have more receiving yards.
3. Tony Gonzalez- On pace for first 1,000 season since 2004.
4. Kellen Winslow- Will be fine if he can avoid motorcycles until seasons end.
5. Dallas Clark- Leads Colts in TD receptions.

Kickers
1. Adam Vinatieri
2. Stephen Gostkowski
3. Kris Brown
4. Nick Folk
5. Matt Stover

Defense/ST
1. Patriots- Free agent acquisitions have made them the best around.
2. Chargers- Last week’s blow up vs. Texans is what owners expected all year.
3. Vikings- Have scored more defensive TD over the last 2 years than any other team.
4. Giants- Currently lead the NFL in sacks.
5. Bears- As long as Hester is returning kicks, defense will be near the top.
