Fantasy Football Power Rankings

Here are the top 3 players by position through week 3. Standard scoring rules apply:

QB:

1)   Drew Brees: Best player in fantasy football will lead all scorers again this year.

2)   Peyton Manning: Has a Marino like knack for calling his own number at the right time. Healthy options at receiver have helped his cause.

3)   Joe Flacco: Great ground game opens up the deep ball. Edges out Matt Schaab by a nose.

RB:

1)   Adrian Peterson: No brianer. Threat to drop 30 for your team every week.

2)   Willis McGahee: Consistency puts him ahead of the rest. He’s healthy for the first time in a while.

3)   Maurice Jones-Drew: it may shock some that he’s ahead of Chris Johnson. Johnson’s numbers are based on one big week. MJD is just now finding his groove. Ride him regardless of matchup.

WR:

1)   Reggie Wayne: May lead league in targets this season.

2)    Marques Colston: Top receiver on top passing team in the game. He may not have the yardage as he splits targets with a number of players, but he has a nose for the end zone.

3)   Randy Moss: Hasn’t broken out yet, but he’s seeing the most targets per game of his career. It’s just a matter of time.

TE:

1)   Dallas Clark: Peyton throws more passes than anyone in the game. Clark and Wayne are his only real options right now. You do the math.

2)   Jeremy Shockey: Trust us. His targets are only going to go up.

3)   Brent Celek: Seems to be Kevin Kolb’s security blanet. Not sure of his value after McNabb returns, but a must start with Kolb in the game.
