Fantasy Football's Top-Five Players at Each Position

Well, it's almost that time of year again. My favorite part of the year, Fantasy Football season! So, to help my fellow fantasy footballers out, I am going to give you the top-five players at each position. (I will not be doing any kicker or defense ratings. Sorry!)

Let's get this party started!

1. Tom Brady

Is there any question on this one? He broke many records last year and he formed an amazing partnership with Randy Moss. I have a feeling that he will be having another amazing season this year, though not quite as good as last year.

2. Peyton Manning

While Marvin Harrison has lost a bit of speed, like any receiver does with age, Peyton Manning still has Reggie Wayne and Anthony Gonzalez, who are both developing quite well.

He also has Dallas Clark, and Joseph Addai will take some pressure off of the passing game. Not to mention that Peyton Manning is an amazing quarterback, anyway.

3. Tony Romo

Terrell Owens is getting older, but he is still a great receiving threat, who stretches the field. Patrick Crayton and Terry Glenn aren't too shabby, either. And don't forget about Jason Witten. He is developing into a top-three tight end in the NFL, and Tony Romo has great chemistry with him.

4. Drew Brees

Reggie Bush, Marques Colston, Jeremy Shockey, and Devery Henderson. Need I say more? He has been doing great ever since he has been a Saint, and is only getting better, especially fantasy wise, in the Saints' pass-happy offense.

5. Matt Ryan

Just kidding.

5: Ben Roethlisberger

He is coming off what was by far his best season yet. He threw for 3,154 yards, 32 touchdowns, and only 11 interceptions last year, in two starts. He also had two rushing touchdowns, just for good measure.

Santonio Holmes had a good season last year, and he's a good match with Big Ben's big arm, as Santonio Holmes is a definite deep threat. Hines Ward will have a decent year, and the drafting of Rashard Mendenhall should help him.

I would have no problem having Ben Roethlisberger as my starting quarterback.

Running Backs

1. LaDanian Tomlinson

As always, LT is on top of all fantasy owners' list of players that they would kill for. (Isn't any feature back?) He will have more opportunities this year, as Philip Rivers is now more experienced, as if he didn't already have enough opportunities.

His uncanny versatility will again have opposing fantasy owners groaning. He can do it all. Throw, receive, and oh yeah, run.

2. Adrian Peterson

This guy was on my team last year, and he gave ME stomach aches. How, you ask? I didn't play him in the two or three games that he scored roughly 60 points, THAT'S HOW!!!

His inconsistency last year was bad, but he should be better this year, as I'm pretty sure that the Vikings coaching staff will figure out that he should be the feature back.

He rushed for over 1,300 yards and had 12 rushing touchdowns. And he's only going to get better. Be careful about his injury problem, though. You might want to consider getting Chester Taylor as well, so if Adrian Peterson gets hurt, you still have the very capable Chester Taylor.

3. Brian Westbrook

I know that his injury problem has you waiting until 30 seconds before your deadline to submit your lineups, but his consistency and versatility are amazing. He had a game last year where he had over 100 yards rushing and over 100 yards receiving. (Of course, I didn't play him, but that's beside the point.)

He rushed for 1,333 yards, 7 rushing touchdowns, and had 5 receiving touchdowns last year. I'm not exactly sure how much pressure the passing game will take off of him, because Donovan McNabb is always doubtful, and their best receiver is Kevin Curtis. That's trouble.

However, according to McNabb, the Eagles are the team to beat in the NFC. Yeah, right. Sorry Eagle fans, but I'm pretty sure that the Cowboys get that title right now (as much as I hate to admit it).

4. Joseph Addai
