1. LaDainian Tomlinson: He is scoring touchdowns like a college student playing against nine-year-old cousins. It is almost not fair to have him on your team at this point as he’s on pace to shatter the long-standing record set by Shaun Alexander last year.
2. Larry Johnson: Not having the season LT is, but then again, no one ever has.
3. Stephen Jackson: Most under-appreciated fantasy star in the game.
4. Chad Johnson: Finally got his groove back with Palmer.
5. Shaun Alexander: We’ll see how the foot holds up, but has a history of finishing strong.
6. Brian Westbrook: Has learned to be a runner and receiver, now only if he had a quarterback…
7. Steve Smith: Still the most explosive wide receiver in the game.
8. Rudi Johnson: Bruising running back on an explosive offense.
9. Frank Gore: Picked in the 16th round in one league I joined. Happens at least once a year.
10. Anquan Boldin: Shares looks with Larry Fitzgerald, but it doesn’t seem to affect either one.
11. Marques Colston: In the “Where did this guy come from?” department, this guy ranks first all-time.
12. Willie Parker: Defending champions are looking forward to a very high pick in April…
13. Terrell Owens: Finally found a quarterback who will throw to him consitently, but will it make him shut up?
14. Carson Palmer: Now back at full strength, has a cartel of weapons at his disposal.
15. Roy Williams: May be the best wide receiver to never play with a good quarterback or team.
16. Darrell Jackson: Now that Hasselbeck’s back, happy days are here again.
17. Tom Brady: Always finds a way with receivers-by-comittee.
18. Drew Brees: If LT was playing anywhere near human levels, Brees would have my vote for MVP.
19. Peyton Manning: Okay, okay. Even though I do hate him, it’s not why. Come fantasy playoff time, he’ll be shouting into a headset, not throwing passes.
20. Chester Taylor: Cupcake-filled stretch-run to work against.
21. Marvin Harrison: Inconsistency has devalued him and he will rest during the last few games.
22. Reggie Wayne: Ditto.
23. Larry Fitzgerald: Leinart/Boldin/Fitzgerald will be a force to be reckoned with for years.
24. Matt Hasselbeck: Shaky vs. Denver, but has plethora of pro-bowl caliber weapons.
25. Tony Gonzalez: Is back to being a passing target again after spending most of last year only blocking.
26. Andre Johnson: Would be in top 5 on a half dozen other teams.
27. Terry Glenn: Misses Drew a bit, but is still putting up very good #’s.
28. Keyshawn Johnson: Great addition for Panthers, great pickup for lucky fantasy owners.
29. Torry Holt: Has virtually disappeared as of late, but always big point potential.
30. Marc Bulger: Possibly hiding somewhere with Holt during games?
31. Philip Rivers: Solid season, but who needs to throw with LT on his team?
32. Tony Romo: Hate to say it, but benching Drew was genius.
33. Jamal Lewis: Loving new play-calling which features more him.
34. Joseph Addai: Colts will tinker with running game for the rest of the season, which means more looks for the rookie.
35. Donald Driver: Quietly puts up good numbers throughout the season.
36. Javon Walker: Cutler/Walker looks good for the end of the season.
37. T.J. Houshmandzadeh: Great #2 receiver, possibly one of the three best.
38. Chris Henry: Seems to get a touchdown with every catch. When he’s not in jail, that is.
39. Thomas Jones: 1,000 yard rusher on a defense/running football team.
40. Plaxico Burress: Needs Eli to turn it around.
41. Marion Barber III: 11 platoon touchdowns?
42. Maurice Jones-Drew: Hot as of late, and looks to continue the pace.
43. Reggie Bush: 4 TDs last game. Has NO finally found a way to use Bush?
44. Willis McGahee: Electric and inconsistent.
45. Duce McCallister: Managed decent numbers with big-name rookie.
46. Laurence Maroney: Probably the best running back drafted in April.
47. Corey Dillon: Splitting time, but still getting goal-line duty and killing clocks.
48. Benjamin Watson: Brady’s favorite target, though not much competition.
49. Brandon Jacobs: Unbelievable to watch him bowl over linebackers.
50. Tiki Barber: May get more yards and fewer touchdowns than any pro-bowler in history.
