When it comes down to it, you should remember to have fun with fantasy football. While this game can become stressful, especially if you have money riding on whether you win or lose, you can also have fun while competing at the highest level.

One way to have fun is to draft your favorite players. If you are in a point in the draft where there are a number of good players available, there’s nothing wrong with going with the player you enjoy watching. Which players in the NFL are my favorite fantasy football players? These are the players who I enjoy watching:

Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
Not only is his off the field romance with Jessica Simpson interesting, Tony Romo has become a quite good fantasy quarterback. He’s a fearless leader who is always trying to score – which you got to love as a fantasy football owners.

Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys
Romo’s main target in Dallas, Terrell Owens has become a fantasy beast. If he’s on your fantasy team, you can start him with confidence each and every week. Even if he’s going against a tough defense, TO seems to always find a way.

Randy Moss, New England Patriots
Although he had a few lean seasons, Randy Moss was back at his best last season with the Patriots. Tom Brady loves looking for Moss and Moss loves looking for the endzone. Moss might be the most natural pass catcher the game has ever seen.

LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers
If you have a big fantasy football game, LaDainian Tomlinson is the running back you want on your side. Over the last half decade, Tomlinson has proven to be a great fantasy running back who is always a threat to have a big game.

Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings
How can you not love the second-year stud on the Vikings? Adrian Peterson burst onto the scene last year and there’s no sign that he intends to slow down. Peterson has so much potential that he may revolutionize both the NFL and fantasy football.

With all this media attention, some fantasy football owners are worried that Romo may be distracted and won’t produce as well as expected in 2008. While it’s definitely a valid concern, I wouldn’t worry too much.

Romo has long been known as a guy who liked to have fun. He wasn’t exactly sitting at home alone during the time he broke out as a success NFL quarterback. He has shown a good ability to keep work separate from things that occur off the field.

Last season, Romo had a very good season. He finished the year with 4,211 passing yards, 36 passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns. The 28-year-old quarterback should have equal success in 2008. He has Terrell Owens back for another season and starting running back Marion Barber III has been re-signed.

Whether Jessica Simpson is dating Romo shouldn’t affect the way you view him in fantasy football one way or the other.

QB Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Brady had perhaps the best season ever by an NFL quarterback. This week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Patriots will depend on his arm to lead the team to victory. The Jaguars have a tough defense, especially against the run. Expect Brady to be throwing early and often, finishing with at least two touchdown passes.

RB LaDainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers
The Chargers will be looking to get the ball to Tomlinson early and often. If Antonio Gates likely out with an injured toe, Tomlinson will be asked to carry an even larger than usual load. Although the Colts have a very potent defense, Tomlinson is the best running back in the business. In fantasy football, if you can start Tomlinson, you start him – no questions asked.

WR Randy Moss, New England Patriots
When Brady is slinging passes around the field of play, his favorite target will be Moss. Moss had a monster year and will be looking to carry that momentum into the playoffs. Against the Jaguars, Moss will most likely run a number of deep routes. Expect Brady and Moss to hookup for at least one touchdown this week.

TE Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys
Witten joined Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson in Mexico during the Cowboys’ week off. That could be a good omen this week as Romo will likely look for Witten a lot, even if Terrell Owens is healthy to play. Witten has the toughness to thrive in the playoffs and he should do well this week – unless, of course, there is basis to the rumors of a Jessica Simpson Curse.
