1. Tom Brady |
Patriots |
Don't forget how dominant he was in 2007. |
| 2. Drew Brees
|
Saints
|
Last year's best vaults into first round. |
| 3. Aaron Rodgers
|
Packers
|
Was unstoppable this preseason. |
| 4. Kurt Warner
|
Cardinals
|
Few face softer schedule in 2009. |
| 5. Philip Rivers
|
Chargers
|
Surrounded by powerful weapons. |
| 6. Peyton Manning
|
Colts
|
Getting older, but still awfully good. |
| 7. Donovan McNabb
|
Eagles
|
Team has deepest set of wideouts. |
| 8. Tony Romo
|
Cowboys
|
Will miss Owens more than he knows. |
| 9. Jay Cutler
|
Bears
|
Numbers bound to drop in Chicago. |
| 10. Ben Roethlisberger
|
Steelers
|
With Parker aging, Steelers passing more. |
| 11. Carson Palmer
|
Bengals
|
Has been surprisingly good when healthy. |
| 12. Matt Schaub
|
Texans
|
Hook-up with Johnson one of fantasy's best. |
| 13. Matt Ryan

Winner on field, but not necessarily in fantasy. |
| 14. Chad Pennington

Dolphins
|
Helped put fun back into Miami football last season. |
| 15. Kyle Orton

|
Broncos have far better offensive clue than Bears. |
| 16. Eli Manning
|
Giants
|
No Burress means even more running. |
| 17. Brett Favre
|
Vikings
|
Helps Vikes more than your fantasy team. |
| 18. Joe Flacco
|
Ravens
|
Can direct ball-control attack. |
| 19. Mark Sanchez
|
Jets

Hard to predict fantasy success for rookie QB. |

Could surprise with Owens on his side. |
| 21. Matt Hasselbeck
|
Seahawks
|
Will miss old pal Holmgren. |

Has fallen out of fantasy favor. |

Will get his shot this season. |
| 24. Marc Bulger
|
Rams

Only 49ers face easier schedule to pass against. |
| 25. David Garrard
|
Jaguars
|
Sounds like Jags plan to run more in 2009. |
| 26. Jason Campbell
|
Redskins
|
Consistent, but consistently mediocre. |
| 27. Matt Cassel
|
Chiefs
|
Pat second unit had more talent than this. |
| 28. Matthew Stafford
|
Lions
|
Will take his hits in Year 1. |
| 29. Matt Leinart
|

Intriguing option should Warner get hurt. |

Hard to believe he still has job. |
| 31. Michael Vick

Eagles
|
Keeper, anyone? |
| 32. Shaun Hill

His best number isn't fantasy-friendly: wins. |

Shocking Bucs would stoop this low. |

Had his day in the sun. |

No longer has to look over shoulder at Garcia. |

Never a winner in fantasy game. |

Would be no surprise if he supplanted Bulger. |
| 39. Jeff Garcia
|

|
Cut by Raiders; has to land somewhere, right? |
| 40. Josh Freeman
|
Bucs
|
Not this year; maybe in 2010. |
