Fantasy Football's Top-50 Rankings for PPR Leagues, Part One

(The one where Kramer’s mouth is numb from the dentist and Mel thinks he has muscular dystrophy.)

17) Larry Fitzgerald

Really, a toss up with Andre Johnson, but I know what I’m getting with Fitz.

18) Andre Johnson

Last year, he played with a guy who wasn’t David Carr for the first time in his career, and before he got hurt, he was on pace for 92 receptions for 1,676 yards and 16 TDs.

One other thing: I keep hearing that Johnson’s an injury risk, but I don’t buy it. Last year was his fifth season, and before last year, he missed three games in four years. Suddenly he’s a huge injury risk? Methinks the fantasy Sherpas are trying to steer us wrong.

19) Maurice Jones-Drew

He’s 5’7”. My mom is 5’7”. Have you seen the Madden commercial where he’s wearing the long shirt and looks like a bona fide midget?

Isn’t Mojo the buddy you ridicule because of his stature before he lowers his shoulder into your stomach and leaves you coughing for the next 20 minutes before you gather your wind and continue until he knocks you on your ass? (Later claiming that you were so drunk you didn’t know what was going on.) Don’t you want this guy on your team?

Last year, Fred Taylor ran 223 times, and Mojo took it 167. He also caught 40 passes. The year before, he caught 46 passes. In two seasons, he’s scored 26 TDs. He should get 200 carries this year. He’s going to catch 40 passes and score 10 times or more.

(All that, and he’s fun to own)

20) Marques Colston

1) Moss 2) Owens 3) Wayne 4) Edwards 5) Fitzgerald  6) Johnson 7) Colston

That seems low for him.

21) Larry Johnson

I know, I wrote in length (Towards the end) about how much I hate him this year, but even though he only averaged 3.5 YPC, if you double his stats (only played eight games last year), he would’ve been the sixth-highest scoring back last season. He was on pace for 316 carries and 60 receptions.

Of course, I’m not picking him. He’s no fun to own, and there’s a five-percent chance Herm Edwards gives him the ball a combined 500 times and he dies on the field during the playoffs.

You don’t need that.
