1. RB Steven Jackson, St. Louis Rams: A top-three talent trapped on a mediocre offense. Jackson is a tremendous combination of power and speed who managed to gain 1,416 rushing yards (1,738 total yards) in 2009 despite playing against defenses geared to shut him down. The Rams offensive struggles have resulted in just 19 touchdowns the past three years. Jackson's physical style also makes him an injury risk as he has missed 10 games since 2007.
2. WR Randy Moss, New England Patriots jerseys: At 33 years old, Moss is beginning to show his age, but he is still a premier deep threat and red zone target. His sick 2007 numbers (98-1,493-23 TDs) will remain a distant memory but playing in the Pats' pass-happy offense, mark him down for 80+ catches, 1,200 yards and 10+ touchdowns.
3. WR Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts: Six consecutive 1,000 yard seasons, along with 100 catches and 10 TDs two of the past three years, and playing with Peyton Manning make Wayne one of the safest picks on the board. He lacks the upside of Miles Austin, Larry Fitzgerald, Brandon Marshall, or Calvin Johnson, but mark him down for 90 catches, 1,200 yards and 8+ TDs.
4. QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers jerseys: In just two years as a starter, Rodgers has established himself as one of the top fantasy quarterbacks in the league with consecutive 4,000 yard seasons. He is entering the prime of his career at just 26 years old giving him the most upside of any of the top quarterbacks. His ability to gain yards on the ground (316 yards and five TDs in 2009) inches him ahead of Mr. Consistent Peyton Manning and the gunslinger Drew Brees in the QB rankings.
5. QB new Drew Brees jerseys, New Orleans Saints: Brees has established himself as one of the fantasy elite after throwing for 4,388+ yards four consecutive years while increasing his touchdown passes from 26 to 34 during that span (34 TDs in back to back years). Most significantly he is the only quarterback to average 276+ yards per game each of the past three years.
6. WR Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions: The biggest hunch pick on the list. Megatron is coming off a disappointing 984 yard season yet earns a spot ahead of Manning, Fitzgerald, Miles Austin and a host of running backs? Simple, Johnson is a physical freak on the verge of a breakout year as he enters his prime at 24 years old. Matthew Stafford should take a big step in year two and the surrounding cast is improved (including WR Nate Burleson, RB Jahvid Best, and TE Tony Sheffler) the stage has been set. Don't forget Megatron had 1,331 yards and 12 TDs in 2008 with Jon Kitna throwing him the bal
