Rankings:
QB (1 pt 20 yds, 4 pt TD, -2 INT, Lost Fumble)
1. Manning (can get it done with any WR, a lot of those guys are getting healthy again Banged up RB corp)
2. Rivers (Team can't run very effectively. Jackson coming back)
3. Rodgers (Team can't run. Still has decent weapons and adds points on the ground)
4. Brees (Team can't run. Bush should be back week 11)
5. Vick (explosive receiving threats and adds points on the ground)
6. Roethlisberger (plenty of weapons at his disposal, a running game that has to be respected but may limit his potential)
7. Fitzpatrick (Always playing from behind. Good downfield receiving threats)
8. Stafford (If he can stay healthy. Upside beyond this ranking)
9. Ryan
10. Young (Moss, adds points on the ground. Only problem is his history of usually throwing for less than 200 yds in games)
11. Schaub (running game is now the focal point. Schaub isn't performing at last years level)
12. Palmer (has a great receiving core)
13. Orton (he had a nice early season run, but has been trending down)
14. Brady (this is more like the pre-moss offense)
15. E. Manning (upside to jump up to top 8)
16. Flacco
17. Freeman (I think this kid could outperform this ranking. Has been very consistent and adds points on the ground)
18. McNabb
19. J. Kitna (lots of Interceptions, plenty of yards)
RB (non - ppr)
1. C. Johnson (Moss should stretch the field and open up some bigger holes for CJ. We've seen what he can do with that)
2. A. Foster (he is a great fit for the Kubiak system, has a nice durable looking build. Featured heavily)
3. A. Peterson (I'm a little concerned he could drop to between 5 and 10. Moss gone, Harvin hurt, Favre not scaring defenses)
4. D. McFadden (they are feeding him the ball. Explosive potential. Just needs to stay on the field)
5. F. Gore
6. J. Charles (starting to show what he can do, being given more opportunities)
7. R. Mendenhall (concern about reduced carries. not much competition for carries though, and Ben will keep defenses honest)
8. L. McCoy (If Vick can stay on the field it should help open up nice running lanes for McCoy)
9. M. Jones-Drew (he had a rough start, but is starting to stabilize. Nice forward schedule, still featured)
10. M. Turner (only 3 TDs so far this season. Snelling stole a lot of early season points, but Turner is going to notch some TDs)
11. A. Bradshaw (should be nice and consistent. possibility of seeing the endzone a little more going forward)
12. P. Hillis (big bruising backs tend to wear down over the season, has never carried full load all season, if these can be avoided could be better than this ranking)
13. L. Tomlinson (Shonn Green will chip away at Tomlinson's production more as the season progresses)
14. L. Blount (looks like the featured back going forward, and has a favorable schedule)
15. S. Jackson (nothing flashy so far but very consistent, could see a big game or two)
16. T. Jones (Chiefs running game is clicking, he is getting good goal line looks, top 5 potential if Charles gets injured)
17. J. Addai (great chance at top 10 if he can just get back on the field and healthy. underrated goal line back)
18. R. Rice (too many new weapons and Flacco development this year means the Ravens aren't relying on dump offs to Rice)
19. K. Moreno (This is about the worst I see him finishing if he just stays on the field, there is top 10 upside here)
20. M. Forte (2 great games, but a lot of stinkers)
21. BJGE (limited carries, some poor ypc games, one huge game, goal line back)
22. C. Benson (getting a ton of carries like last year, but just not finding the same yardage. TO has taken goal line looks)
23. J. Stewart/D. Williams (if you have both, don't give up on these guys yet. Could take a couple weeks for defenses to soften up and start respecting the pass a little more. Williams is the better long term option)
24. J. Best (has to score again eventually, but the turf toe will not resolve itself this season)
25. B. Jacobs (getting a lot of goal line looks)
26. M. Tolbert (splitting carries, on a prolific offense that should provide ample scoring opps)
27. M. Lynch (hasn't done much with the opportunities, Seattle O is just not very good)
28. B. Jackson (trending up in both carries and production)
29. W. McGahee (The Ravens failed to trade him, so they may as well use him. Generally underrated as a RB)
30. C. Wells (durability is still a huge concern. Lubrication in the knee doesn't sound good, and neither does more swelling)
31. R. Torain (Hamstring injuries tend to linger)
32. D. Woodhead (limited opportunities but a decent spot start)
33. F. Jones (ditto)
The rest qualify as flyers:
C. Ivory (Team had a down game against the Browns, he suffered a mild concussion last week. When Bush gets healthy he could still make some noise as the power running back and possibly see some goal line looks. Pierre isn't really showing good signs of returning and being healthy enough to be productive. Something 'new' was found wrong with his ankle)
R. Bush (should be back week 11)
R. Williams/Ronnie Brown (If both stay healthy then neither is better than a spot start)
S. Greene (I think he'll become more featured later in the season. Huge upside if LT gets injured)
D. Sproles (All the injuries could mean more involvement in the passing game)
M. Reece (Zach Miller injury is creating opportunities for Reece)
Wide Receivers/TE (non - ppr)
1. C. Johnson (he is a beast, and Stafford is healthy)
2. R. White (so consistent, and puts up a couple monsters every year too)
3. D. Jackson (if he can put the severe concussion behind him, he'll flourish with Vick at QB)
4. A. Johnson (looking healthier, but the HAS he has been playing on could minimize potential week in week out.)
5. H. Nicks (good call by Dodds on Nicks this year. He has been unstoppable in the red zone)
6. G. Jennings (no Finley, Grant, Driver means lots of Jennings)
7. B. Lloyd (took me awhile to believe, but we have a legit producer in Lloyd this year)
9. A. Boldin
10. T. Owens (great redzone presence)
11. A. Collie (practiced fully on thursday, has been great when healthy, other receivers also banged up)
12. S. Johnson (Buffalo is going to be passing a lot)
13. M. Austin (will still be a factor with Kitna at QB. Cowboys will have to pass a lot, lack of running game)
14. A. Gates (hard to discount his toughness, but a torn fasciitis could limit him a lot)
15. R. Wayne (injury issues are holding him back, and Collie is back at practice and has emerged this year)
16. R. Moss (maybe limited targets and catches, but should be golden in the play action deep ball passing game)
17. D. Bowe (finally showing something)
18. D. Bryant (has supplanted Williams, getting healthier, utilized on special teams, top 10 upside with Austin as the defenses number 1 priority)
19. B. Marshall (Henne just isn't that good yet. Not many scoring opportunities)
20. M. Wallace (not getting a lot of targets, but should see some big games and long TDs)
21. M. Williams, TB (has been pretty consistently targeted)
22. L. Fitzgerald (the return of Breaston should help open things a little)
23. J. Maclin (Vick looks his way in the redzone)
24. P. Garcon
25. P. Harvin (may miss some time, and Moss is gone. This ranking looks like his upside to me)
26. J. Witten (Kitna will focus on him more than Romo was)
27. S. Breaston (he has been solid when on the field)
28. S. Smith, NYG (I think he'll have a nice second half)
29. S. Smith, CAR (Matt Moore helps, lots of targets moving forward)
30. M. Colston
31. H. Ward (will get more targets than Wallace, but won't do as much with them)
32. M. Williams, SEA (we saw some potential, with two heavily targeted and productive weeks. Then injury against Oak. Big question mark with Whitehurst coming in)
33. S. Moss
34. R. Meachem (Steelers game shows Saints are almost over there hang over, Meachem looks like he is over his toe issues, when Bush comes back it will open things up for everyone, and Meachem has some big 2nd half of the season potential as a result. He has been coming on lately, I see to 20 potential here)
35. M. Crabtree
36. M. Sims-Walker (he'll remain maddeningly inconsistent, but there could be another big game, maybe 2, in there)
37. L. Evans (ditto)
38. C. Ochocinco (he is getting treated as the #1 by defenses. Defenses are dictating TO being the more productive receiver)
39. N. Washington (Moss should open up some intermediate routes for Washington)
40. M. Lewis (having a great season. 3 multiple TD games already. Could finish much higher if this continues)
41. V. Davis
42. L. Moore
43. D. Bess
44. D. Amendola
45. Zach Miller (injured)
