Rank Name Team Position Fortunes $Value
1 Chris Johnson TEN RB So fearsome sharks dedicate a week to him. Drink a Dos Equis today! $ 72
2 Adrian Peterson MN RB NFC Championship game fumbles haunt his dreams and are the last thing many fantasy owners remember about him. Just don't forget the 1700 combo yds and 18 tds last year. $ 69
3 Maurice Jones Drew JAX RB We haven't seen much from MJD yet in the preseason, but they haven't showcased him yet. We're not too concerned about his lack of production to this point as this has been a historical trend for him. $ 68
4 Ray Rice BAL RB Produces as "regularily" as the Fiber One guy deuces. $ 66
5 Michael Turner ATL RB He cut the fat, I mean muscle he gained from last year and is looking lean and ready to repeat his season from two years ago. $ 58
6 Frank Gore SF RB Should be in for a big season since he's been training in Joe Montana's shape ups all off season. $ 55
7 Andre Johnson HOU WR Expectations for AJ's 2010 season are higher than a eighteen year old virgin's optimism about ribbed for her pleasure. $ 45
8 Shonn Greene NYJ RB Moderate risk, high reward play taking Greene here or spending this amount on him. $ 44
9 Ryan Matthews SD RB It's hard not to get excited about this guy, but breakout rookie campaigns are few and far between. $ 42
10 Steven Jackson STL RB He has a great running style ala Ram Man from He-Man. http://tinyurl.com/36t23l6 $ 41
11 Aaron Rodgers GB QB If his offensive line continues to give him the sandlot approved 5 banana count again next year like they did the second half of '09, we expect him to be the top rated fantasy QB again. $ 40
12 Drew Brees NO QB Let's hope the Brees and the rest of the Saints don't let all that success at the ESPY's go to their heads. $ 40
13 DeAngelo Williams CAR RB The perks at a time share pitch are all fun and games, but make sure you know what the Panthers are selling before you buy..basically, a full split of two great backs. $ 40
14 Randy Moss NE WR Don't get me wrong, its not that we don't like Moss' '09 numbers, its just we're kind of left with a bad taste in our mouths with how he went out in his last few games. $ 40
15 Miles Austin DAL WR We found out that his 200 yd game was not a one hit wonder last year..now we're curious if his '09 season was..if it's not, look for Blind Melon, The Proclaimers, Chumbawumba and Hanson to be knocking on his door for advice. $ 39
16 Peyton Manning IND QB He's got QB hurbris..QB hubris, according to his dad all other QB's are useless. http://tinyurl.com/2cj7pf2 $ 37
17 Rashard Mendenhall PIT RB With Big Ben's suspension, there's no doubt he'll be involved early and often, but how well will he do against those stacked boxes? $ 35
18 Cedric Benson CIN RB A repeat performance of his 2009 season would have the same shock value as when you found out Russell Brand was dating Katy Perry. $ 35
19 Ryan Grant GB RB Not the sexiest RB in terms of flash, but he does his job well..oddly the exact opposite can be said of Megan Fox. $ 35
20 Jamaal Charles KC RB The Chiefs miserable team is not doing him any favors, but he is the kind of guy that is going to find a way to get his. $ 34
21 Pierre Thomas NO RB His stock has soared since Mike Bell left town. You gotta think this is the year he finally performs like we all think he should perform. $ 33
22 Roddy White ATL WR Seriously, Mr. White..Mr. Blonde wants to know, are you going to bark all day little doggie, or are you gonna bite? $ 33
23 Beanie Wells AZ RB The trend at the end of 2009 season was Wells finally started getting the bulk of the carries over Hightower. If that continues into 2010, Wells will post solid numbers. $ 32
24 Brandon Marshall MIA WR It seems like every year leading up to Fantasy Drafts/Auctions, there are a lot of questions and reasons not to go after #15..for now we remain very optimistic on his '10 season. $ 32
25 Reggie Wayne IND WR Like Charlize Theron, were not sure what we'll get out of Reggie next..the hottie in The Italian Job or the physco in Monster that murders your fantasy season. He killed fantasy owners down the stretch of '09. $ 32
