1. Peyton Manning, Colts.  (6)   This is a no-brainer.  The greatest fantasy QB of his time.

 2. Tom Brady, Patriots (6)   The greatest QB of his time.  Spreads the ball around, and always puts up numbers.

 3.  Trent Green, Chiefs (3)  Green has put up three straight 4,000 yards passing season together.  Under-rated.

 4. Carson Palmer, Bengals (5)  Knee is a huge question mark.  Has alot of weapons in the passing game.

 5. Eli Manning, Giants (4)  Manning started to emerge from brothers’ shadow.  Has a good supporting cast.

 6. Marc Bulger, Rams (7)  Only needs to stay healthy to lead the greatest show on turf.

 7. Duante Culpepper, Dolphins (8)  Huge risk/reward pick.  Has a huge arm, but can Chambers imitate Moss?

 8. Donovan McNabb, Eagles (9)  Probably would have ranked higher if he had at least one good receiver.

 9. Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks (5)  Injury to Darrell Jackson hurts.  Plus Shaun Alexander will get his carries.

10. Drew Bledsoe, Cowboys (3)  If T.O. behaves, this is too low for Bledsoe.  T.O. always makes his QB better.

11. Brett Favre, Packers (6)  Running backs look healthy, which will put less pressure on him to win game himself.

12. Kurt Warner, Cardinals (9)  Warner would be higher on this list if he weren’t so brittle.  Risk/Reward pick.

13. Drew Brees, Saints (7)  Always scared of injured throwing shoulders, but he has a good supporting cast.

14. Aaron Brooks, Raiders (3)  Hard to hold last season against any Saint.  Will thrive throwing ball to Randy Moss.

15. Jake Delhomme, Panthers (9)  Better in real football than fantasy football.

16. Jake Plummer, Broncos (4)  Will he feel the heat with Jay Cutler around?  If not he’ll be ok.

17. David Carr, Texans (5)  Has shown improvement the last two seasons, and now he has Eric Moulds.

18. Billy Volek, Titans (7)  Volek has been a superb back-up, and now he gets the keys to the car for a season.

19. Steve McNair, Ravens (7)  McNair is only this far down the list because he’s brittle.  Reunited with Mason will help.

20. Philip Rivers, Chargers (3)  Risk/Reward pick.  Not much experience, but a very good supporting cast.

21. Mark Brunell, Redskins (8)  Nice supporting group, but injury prone and old.

22. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers (4)  Lots of questions.  Will he be ok or gun shy?  Steelers run alot and that hurts him.

23. Jon Kitna, Lions (8)  If he wins the job, he could put up huge numbers with Mike Martz calling the plays.

24. Chris Simms, Buccaneers (4)  For first time since high-school, he’s the best QB on his team.

25. Brad Johnson, Vikings (6)  38 year old QB that likes the short pass.  Will he last a whole season?

26. Michael Vick, Falcons (5)  Vick is the most electrifying QB in the league.  But his 150 yards passing won’t help you.

27. Byron Leftwich, Jaguars (6)  He has never played a complete season, and his receiving corps is downright awful.

28. Chad Pennington, Jets (9)  Pennington is a good QB when he plays….which isn’t very often.

29. Charlie Frye, Browns (6)  Looked ok in his brief trial at the end of the season.  Having Edwards and Winslow will help.

30. Kelly Holcomb, Bills (8)  He should win the job, but if you draft a Bills QB…you need your head examined.

31. Rex Grossman, Bears (7)  Look up the word “brittle” in the dictionary and you’ll see Rex Grossman’s face.

32. Alex Smith, 49ers (7)  He’s got a long way to go to be an average QB.

33. Brian Griese, Bears (7)  Sure to start some games, the only question is when.

34. Matt Leinhart, Cardinals (9)  Leinhart probably will get the keys to the explosive offense at some point.

35. Gus Frerotte, Rams (7)  Follows head-coach Scott Linehan around like a puppy.  Could see some time.

36. Josh McCown, Lions (8)  Back-up to Kitna to start the season.  Lions QB of near future.

37. Matt Schaub, Falcons (5)  Better throwing QB than starter Michael Vick.

38. David Garrard, Jaguars (6)  Plays well every season after Leftwich gets hurt.

39. Jeff Garcia, Eagles (9)  Still has a little left in the tank if McNabb goes down.

40. Patrick Ramsey, Jets (9)  QB in waiting behind Pennington.  Only a matter of time until he plays.

41. Trent Dilfer, 49ers (7)  Coach Nolan won’t let his team’s season go to waste if Smith is over-matched again.

42. Jim Sorgi, Colts (6)  Played well in limited action.  Has a super supporting cast if forced into action.

43. JP Losman, Bills (8)  Good athlete for a QB, but not a good passer.

44. Kyle Boller, Ravens (7)  Behind McNair, so he could get a chance.  Played well last December.

45. Joey Harrington, Dolphins (8)  Could get playing time in Miami, but that was never an issue in Detroit.

46. Anthony Wright, Bengals (5)  Wright is a good athlete and the Bengals have good receivers…but, Wright is not a good passer.

47. Vince Young, Titans (7)  If the Titans throw him to the wolves, he will get chewed up and spit out.

48. Jay Cutler, Broncos (4)  Cutler’s year will be next season.

49. Sage Rosenfels, Texans (5)  Not very productive in limited chances.

50. Charlie Batch, Steelers (4)  Running team, but if Big Ben’s head hurts he might get forced into action.

51.  Chris Weinke, Panthers (9)  Had his chance, and then the Panthers signed Delhomme.

52. Todd Collins, Redskins (8)  Playing behind Brunell with a loaded supporting cast.

53. Damon Huard, Chiefs (3)  Chiefs would probably run alot if he were forced into action.

54. Jamie Martin, Saints (7)  Good completion % usually.  A decent back-up.

55. Jay Fiedler, Buccaneers (4)  Still hasn’t thrown a pass in camp.  Game manager that wouldn’t put up big numbers.

56. Matt Cassel, Patriots (6)  Hasn’t started a real game since high school.

57. A.J. Feeley, Chargers (3)  If you have a penalty for pick-offs, don’t say this name.

58. Andrew Walter, Raiders (3)  Hasn’t played a down, but has good receivers.

59. Aaron Rodgers, Packers (6)  The fact that the Packers drafted a QB speaks volumes.

60. Tim Hasselbeck, Giants (4)  Giants have a good supporting cast, but Hasselbeck hasn’t proved he could take advantage of that.

61. Ken Dorsey, Browns (6)  Trying to hold off Derek Anderson for back-up job.

62. Seneca Wallace, Seahawks (5)  Not a good passer.

63.  Tony Romo, Cowboys (3)  No experience…..scary.

64. Mike McMahon, Vikings (6)  Good runner, but the worst throwing QB in the league.

Tony Gonzalez is the greatest tight end of his time.  He runs like a wide receiver but has the size of a tight end.  Anything that hits his hands is caught.  Gonzalez has caught at least 58 passes in a season for eight straight years.  Gonzalez has gone over 70 receptions six times in his career, and caught 102 passes in 2004.  Twice he has had over 1,200 yards receiving and has caught more than 10 TDs twice.  Gonzalez has played 143 games (127 starts) and has caught 648 passes for 7,810 yards (12.1 avg) with 56 TDs.  He also has rushed twice for 14 yards.

Jason Dunn is like having an extra tackle on his side of the line.  He is a good blocker and a real good receiver in the Red Zone.  Dunn has played in 129 games (43 starts) and has caught 75 passes for 861 yards (11.5 avg) and 11 TDs.

Kris Wilson is a young player that eventually will get to play when one of the other guys needs a break.  Wilson has played in 17 games (1 start) and has caught 3 passes for 33 yards (11.0 avg).

Eddie Kennison has been a savior for the Chiefs.  Kennison has only had two 1,000 yard receiving seasons in his ten year career, and they’ve been the last two years.  Kennison still has enough speed to get deep and his hands are better than ever.  Kennison has played in 152 games (129 starts) and has caught 482 passes for 7,384 yards (15.3 avg) and 37 TDs.  He also has rushed 34 times for 261 yards (7.7 ypc).

Samie Parker has a hard time staying healthy.  He’s a decent receiver when he’s on the field.  In two seasons he has played only 16 games (9 starts) and has caught 45 passes for 670 yards (14.9 avg) and 4 TDs.

Dante Hall should be used a little more in the passing game, as he has tremendous moves and speed.  Hall is probably the best kick returner on the planet and they don’t want to wear him down by making him play too much offense.  But the team needs him to be the #3 WR this season.  Hall has played in 82 games (10 starts) and has caught 119 passes for 1,411 yards (11.9 avg) and 7 TDs.  He also has run the ball 44 times for 204 yards (4.6 ypc).

Craphonso Thorpe could be a decent receiver if he could just make it to the field.  He didn’t play last season due to injury.

is the time to bet on the Chiefs.  The Chiefs have dominated this series against the spread, covering the last three at Arrowhead and seven of the last nine overall.  The Chiefs just have the Ravens number, plus Steve McNair might be hurt be then.

The Chiefs win big and cover the spread.

In Lawrence Tynes’ two seasons as the Chiefs kicker he has only converted 11 of 21 field goals of 40+ yards.  Tynes will need to start to make those because the Chiefs offense probably will be more conservative with Herman Edwards as the new Head Coach, leading to more long field goal tries.

Tynes has nailed 78.6% of his career field goal attempts and has averaged 7.31 points per game.

With a lack of depth behind running back Larry Johnson, the Chiefs traded an undisclosed draft pick to the Saints for Michael Bennett.  With Priest Holmes still not getting clearance from doctors to play, the Chiefs needed a proven veteran back-up……and now they have one.

Michael Bennett has played in 64 games (49 starts) and has rushed for 3,174 yards (4.5 ypc) and 12 TDs.  Bennett also has caught 126 passes for 1,040 yards and 5 TDs.

Larry Johnson finally took off his “diapers” and exploded on the scene last year.  He almost pushed Priest Holmes out the door BEFORE he hurt his neck.  The running back position is all his now and the sky is the limit.  Johnson is big, fast and strong.  He has an upright style of running that leaves him open to a big shot, but he’s gotten up from every one of them so far.  Johnson only started nine games last season (but he appeared in all 16) and rushed for 1,750 yards and 20 TDs.  For his career, Johnson has played in 26 games (12 starts) and rushed for 2,416 yards (5.1 ypc) and 30 TDs.  He also has caught 56 passes for 623 yards (11.1 avg) for three TDs.

Priest Holmes still hasn’t gotten clearance from the doctor’s to return to the field.  It’s sad to think about, but the odds are against him ever playing again.  Holmes rushed for over 1,000 yards four times in his career and had two season where he rushed for over 20 TDs.  Holmes has played in 109 games in his career (80 starts) and rushed for 8,035 yards (4.6 ypc) and 86 TDs.  He also caught 334 passes for 2,945 yards (8.8 avg) and 8 TDs.

The back-up position is really up for grabs if Holmes can’t go this season.  The leader appears to be Quentin Griffin, late of the Denver Broncos.  Griffin is a little on the small side and seems more suited to be a third down back.  Griffin played in 16 games for the Broncos (5 starts) and rushed for 656 yards (3.7 ypc) and two TDs.  He also has caught 18 passes for 129 yards and a TD.

Dee Brown is the other back battling for the back-up position.  Brown has been a career back-up, looking for a chance.  He has played in 29 games in his career (3 starts) and rushed for 381 yards (3.5 ypc) and 4 TDs.  He also has caught 20 passes for 109 yards and two TDs.
