Other rankings: QB WR TE Top 50 51-200
- Chris Johnson, Titans- What more can I say, he's #1 all the way.
- Ray Rice, Ravens- The first of many players to get the PPR boost. His hands make him a stud in this format.
- Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars- I honestly want to put AD here, just to play it safe, but for some reason MJD seems ready to explode.
- Adrian Peterson, Vikings- The departure of Chester Taylor makes him an even more attractive PPR option. But what if Favre doesn't return?
- Frank Gore, 49ers- He's soo good he made a guy retire.
- Steven Jackson, Rams- If the Rams were made up of an above average Pee Wee team and SJax he would still rack up 1300 total yards.
- Rashard Mendenhall, Steelers- In Big Ben's absence, look for Pittsburgh to lean heavily on Mendenhall.
- Michael Turner, Falcons- Not much of a receiving threat, but you still get points for rushing yards and TDs... and Burner Turner provides plenty of those.
- LeSean McCoy, Eagles- I like him a lot more than most. An Andy-Reid feature back with the ability to catch is deadly.
- Jamaal Charles, Chiefs- Thomas Jones doesn't scare me much after his 37 yards on 4 carries. 4 carries!
- DeAngelo Williams, Panthers- Was tremendous before injury. J-Stew is intimidating as he waits in the shadows.
- Pierre Thomas, Saints- The departure of Mike Bell and Lynell Hamilton's injury makes him a premier TD scoring back.
- Ryan Grant, Packers- Perhaps one of the steadiest performers at the position.
- Ryan Mathews, Chargers- The best situation of any rookie. Could either end up top 10 or top 35.
- Beanie Wells, Cardinals- He has an inexperienced QB, a running offense and a great pair of hands =another great situation.
- Cedric Benson, Bengals- Definitely a RB to be handcuffed with how often he gets hurt.
- Shonn Greene, Jets- Plays for the best running offense in football, but with no catching ability takes a hit in PPR.
- Matt Forte, Bears- If he is 2008 Forte he's a steal. If he is 2009 Forte you'd better have Chester Taylor.
- Knowshon Moreno, Broncos- Already injury rumors are swirling, and he wasn't very impressive in the red zone last year.
- Jonathan Stewart, Panthers- The first backup picked. He has the talent, offense but lacks the PT.
- Joseph Addai, Colts- A good fantasy player. Never great, but always good. He's the vanilla.
- Arian Foster, Texans- He shoots up my board as Tate goes down for the year.
- Felix Jones, Cowboys- Might be the backup in Big D but he's one of the most explosive backs in the game.
- Jahvid Best, Lions- As long as he stays healthy, he could be a powerful rookie force.
- C.J. Spiller, Bills- Another guy who gets a huge boost by the misfortune of his teammates.
- Justin Forsett, Seahawks- Pete Carroll scares me away, but a great PPR back skill-wise.
- Ronnie Brown, Dolphins- If this were a PPP (Point Per Pass) league, the Wildcat would make Ronnie a king.
- Ricky Williams, Dolphins- Two great RBs, one backfield. Once one gets hurt, however, a fantasy star emerges.
- Michael Bush, Raiders- He and McFadden trade places on my list
- Tim Hightower, Cardinals- Was a quality PPR player in 2009, but is more than likely losing his job.
- Reggie Bush, Saints- We all know how much the Saints like to spread the ball around. Bush will either get you 20 or 2 points week in week out.
- Darren Sproles, Chargers- If Mathews shapes up to be only mediocre, Sproles could start getting into the 15-20 carry range. A dangerous proposition.
- Chester Taylor, Bears- If Taylor can finally become a 3 down back, he shoots up towards the top 20 in my mind.
- Brandon Jacobs, Giants- Another guy who was very disappointing in 09, but has a great track record.
- Cadillac Williams, Buccaneers- He had to get the nickname Cadillac for some reason, right? Right?
- Darren McFadden, Raiders- I still think he could turn this trash heap of a career around, but injury rumors knock him down a notch.
- Jerome Harrison, Browns- Was the MVP of many championship teams last year, but the Cleveland backfield is a real mess.
- Marion Barber, Cowboys- Marion the Barbarian is a beast, or should I say was a beast, now that he has started to age.
- Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants- A home run threat whenever he touches the ball. Now if only that happened more often.
- LaDanian Tomlinson, Jets- The Jets run the ball more than anyone by over 100 carries. That makes the second stringer there valuable no matter how over the hill they may be.
- Clinton Portis, Redskins- Another backfield that looks like a pig sty.
- Laurence Maroney, Patriots- A strong showing in his first outing. I just hate all of these backs from BBCs.
- Correll Buckhalter, Broncos- Will catch the ball 4-5 times a game, even as a change-of-pace back.
- Donald Brown, Colts- In the immortal words of Jackie Gleason, "One of these days, straight to the moon!"
- Derrick Ward, Buccaneers- Was supposed to be a breakout back last year. Maybe pundits were just a year off? Answer: I don't think so.
