Vote: 2008 Regular Season NFL Fantasy Football MVP

With most leagues closing out the fantasy football regular season after week 14, it's time vote for your 2008 fantasy football regular season movers and shakers. 

I will post the results for the Fantasy MVP, Fantasy Rookie of the Year, and 2008 All-Fantasy team on Saturday Dec. 13th, 2008 as per votes received.


The Finalists:

Drew Brees (Saints):  Despite the mediocrity of the New Orleans Saints record to date, Drew Brees has been a fantasy monster this season.  He has been chasing Dan Marino's single season passing yards record since week one and has posted gaudy fantasy numbers along the way.

Kurt Warner (Cardinals):  In a year where Kurt Warner (37), Kerry Collins (36) and Brett Favre (39) all landing starting jobs with their respective teams, 2008 might remembered as the year of the "old man quarterback." 

Kurt Warner has been the most effective fantasy option of the bunch all season long.  Warner is putting up better numbers than he did in both of his NFL MVP seasons with the Rams, and is once again being mentioned for the award this season.

Aaron Rodgers, QB (Packers):  Rodgers had big shoes to fill this season after replacing Brett Favre under center for the Green Bay Packers.  He has done exceptionally well under the circumstances.  The Packers have a poor record this season and are going to miss the playoffs, but it is hard to put too much blame on Rodgers.  Fantasy owners who put faith in the first time starter were rewarded with some pretty hefty numbers this year.

Michael Turner (Falcons):  Michael Turner has been awesome in his first year in Atlanta.  He has been the best running back in Fantasy Football this season.

Thomas Jones, RB (Jets):  Amidst all of the Brett Favre hoopla this season, Thomas Jones has quietly been amassing an impressive Fantasy resume this season.
