1. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Playing at home, Brees should carve up the Cowboys.

2. Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals
Ignore last week. Warner is going against the Lions.

3. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Rodgers should play well against the free falling Steelers.

4. Matt Schaub, Houston Texans
The Rams are horrible. That could be good and bad for Schaub.

5. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
Expect the Cowboys to pass a lot trying to survive the Saints.

6. Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Look for Brady to try to quiet the whispers about Randy Moss.

7. Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles
The Niners don’t defend well on the road. McNabb should shine.

8. Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
Rivers is playing really well and so are his receivers.

9. Jason Campbell, Washington Redskins
With Campbell on fire and the Giants cold, he’s a sleeper.

10. Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks
Hasselbeck is healthier and is playing the dormant Bucs.

1. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Drew Brees is a machine right now. Going against the Falcons makes him a no-brainer number one.

2. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
The Bears on the road isn’t the greatest of matchups but Aaron Rodgers has proven to be elite.

3. Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
The Broncos could make it difficult for Peyton Manning but he seems to play better when the situation is hard.

4. Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals
His recent concussion makes him a little bit risky but Kurt Warner has otherwise been rolling.

5. Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Carolina is one of the best pass defenses and Tom Brady is hurt. That said, he’s still very startable.

6. Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
Philip Rivers has been very consistent. He has ten touchdowns in his last five games and has nearly 700 yards in his last two contests.

7. Matt Schaub, Houston Texans
An injury risk with a dislocated non-throwing shoulder, Matt Schaub is a boom or bust this week.

8. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
If you start Tony Romo, you better hope he doesn’t remember that the calendar switched over to December.

9. Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings
Brett Favre struggled last week and has a tough Bengals opponent this week.

10. Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
Joe Flacco has been bad over the last month. But Detroit in Week 14? That should be gold.

6. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
Over the years, Ben Roethlisberger has been an inconsistent fantasy quarterback. But in Week 6, Big Ben has a home game against the Cleveland Browns. Expect a pair of TDs out of Roethlisberger.

5. Matt Schaub, Houston Texans
Since Week 1, Matt Schaub has been very good. This week he goes up against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Bengals aren’t horrible, Schaub should produce.

4. Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles
We saw what Donovan McNabb is capable of last week after coming off of injury. In Week 6 against the Oakland Raiders, McNabb will be good.

3. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Even though the Saints are going against the rugged New York Giants, you have to think that Drew Brees will come ready to play.

2. Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Tom Brady has basically been a disappointment this season. That said, don’t expect him to be disappointing against the Tennessee Titans.

1. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers has been deceptively very good this year. Add in the fact that he’s going up against the Detroit Lions and there should be fireworks for Rodgers in Week 6 of the 2009 fantasy football season.

1. Tom Brady, New England Patriots
He missed all but one quarter of one game last season with a severe knee injury. But when he’s healthy, he’s the best.

2. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
When it comes to a safe quarterback in fantasy football for the 2009 season, Brees might be number one.

3. Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
Although his stats suffered at times last season, expect a bounce back years for Manning this year.

4. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
There is a reason why the Packers let Brett Favre go — and his name is Aaron Rodgers.

5. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons
Last year as a rookie, Matt Ryan showed unbelievable promise. Can he keep it up in his second year?

RB Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders
In their stunning victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Raiders running back Michael Bush proved he has NFL level talent. He ran for two touchdowns and 177 yards. Although the Raiders will likely build their future running game around Darren McFadden, Bush showed enough in the season finale to be a candidate to split time with McFadden next season.

WR Andre Johnson, Houston Texans
Andre Johnson finished a very productive 2008 fantasy football season with ten catches, 148 yards and two touchdowns in the final week of the season. The Texans have emerged as a quality offensive team and next season, the Matt Schaub and Johnson connection could be one of the best in the entire NFL.

TE Tony Scheffler, Denver Broncos
Although it was a quiet week for tight ends in Week 17, Tony Scheffler managed to have a good game. The Broncos starting tight end had five catches for 75 yards and a touchdown grab. All in all, Scheffler had his moments in 2008 fantasy football but injuries and inconsistency kept him from being a top fantasy tight end.

RB Matt Forte, Chicago Bears
Even though he’s a rookie, Matt Forte has been amazingly consistent this season. He gets a lot of touches and almost always makes positive plays. He’s rushed for nearly 1200 yards and has more than 60 receptions on the season. Best of all, he has 12 total touchdowns.

WR Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions
The Lions will likely complete the first 0-16 season in the history of the NFL, but Calvin Johnson isn’t at fault. He’s had a very consistent season, even though he’s had to withstand mostly horrible quarterback play. If he ever is put in a situation with a good quarterback, he could become the best wide receiver in the NFL.

TE Tony Gonzalez, Kansas City Chiefs
Tony Gonzalez has been the only consistent fantasy football tight end of 2009. Just about every week of the season, Gonzalez has produced for his fantasy football owners. Not bad for a player thought to be too old.

Post from: Expert Fantasy

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
While he may be no Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers is on fire. In his last five games, he has ten touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown. He also has at least 227 passing yards in each of those games. He’s definitely a fantasy football quarterback you can trust on a weekly basis.

Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
Now that he’s getting healthier and healthier after he suffered a broken pinkie, Tony Romo is re-emerging as a fantasy football stud. In his last four games, Romo has nine touchdown passes. In two of those games, he surpassed 330 yards passing. Going forward, Romo remains a top five fantasy quarterback.

Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Although he’s had a bit of trouble with interceptions, Drew Brees remains a very good fantasy football start each and every week. In his last four weeks, Brees has ten touchdowns. He had a touchdown in every week this season outside of one week. On the season, he already has 4332 passing yards and 28 touchdowns.

RB LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers
A lot of fantasy owners have considered LaDainian Tomlinson somewhat of a bust this season. But Tomlinson should rise to the head of the pack in Week 10 against the amazingly weak run defense of the Kansas City Chiefs. LT has looked better recently and this could be the huge breakout game fantasy owners have been waiting for.

WR Andre Johnson, Houston Texans
Andre Johnson has been the best fantasy wide receiver over the last month and he should be productive yet again in Week 10. Although Sage Rosenfels is in and Matt Schaub is out due to injury, that shouldn’t have too much of an adverse effect on Johnson’s production. Rosenfels has proven to be one of the better backup QBs in the NFL.

TE Tony Gonzalez, Kansas City Chiefs
Things are looking good in Week 10 for Tony Gonzalez. He has a quarterback in Tyler Thigpen who is actually playing pretty well. He’s going up against the San Diego Chargers — a team that has been destroyed by tight ends this year. If you have Gonzalez on your fantasy football team, make sure you start him this week.

Santana Moss leaves the competition behind once again.

QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Playing in London, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was phenomenal. Brees finished the game against the San Diego Chargers with 339 yards and three passing touchdowns. He also completed 30 of his 41 pass attempts. Brees has quickly become arguably the best fantasy football quarterback in 2008.

RB Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles
After missing a few weeks due to injury, Brian Westbrook was back in action and looking 100%. In a dominant performance against the Atlanta Falcons, Westbrook had 167 yards rushing, 42 yards receiving and two total touchdowns. Any injury questions should be muted after this performance.

WR Santana Moss, Washington Redskins
Coming into the 2008 fantasy football campaign, Santana Moss was a fantasy question mark. This year, he has exceeded virtually all expectations. In Week 8, Moss was again dominant as he had nine catches for 140 yards and one touchdown. He now has five touchdowns in his seven games.

TE Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers
Antonio Gates has once again claimed his spot at the top of the tight end mountain. It’s no surprise that he was the top performer in fantasy football for all tight ends. He finished Week 8 of the 2008 season with a touchdown to go along with 96 receiving yards.
