26-50

I have been hearing some complaints over my 1-25. People think I'm crazy about Brady. People think AP is the second coming. People think I don't know what I'm talking about. Take what you want from these rankings you're the reader. Yes i could simply go to ESPN or Yahoo or wherever you can find Fantasy Football rankings and copy theirs ranking for ranking. But where's the fun in that? I have to have some bold predictions to separate myself from everyone else and I really do Believe in the rankings I put out. Here's my 26-50.

26. Larry Fitzgerald-Cardinals-WR
27. T.J. Houshmandzadeh-Bengals-WR
28. Ben Roethlisberger-Steelers-QB

Many additions to this potent offense can
only help Big Ben

29. Drew Brees- Saints-QB
30. Plaxico Burress- Giants-WR
31. Steve Smith-Panthers-WR
32. Ronnie Brown-Dolphins-RB
33. Marques Colston-Saints-WR
34. Reggie Bush-Saints-RB
35. Michael Turner-Falcons-RB
36. Chad Johnson-Bengals-WR
37. Torry Hold-Rams-WR
38. Wes Welker- Patriots-WR
39. Darren Mcfadden-Raiders-RB
40. Edgerrin James-Cardinals-RB
41. Thomas Jones-Jets-RB
42. Carson Palmer-Bengals-QB
43. Matt Hasselback-Seahawks-QB
44. Antonio Gates-Chargers-TE
45. Fred Taylor- Jaguars-RB
46. Earnest Graham-Buccaneers-RB
47. Derek Anderson-Browns-QB
48. Brandon Marshall-Broncos-WR
49. Anquan Boldin-Cardinals-WR
50. Rudi Johnson-Bengals-RB

- Big Ben was a top 4 Fantasy QB Last year. Not many people could have predicted this. This was not a fluke year and the Pittsburgh offense has only made additions to its offense. They are going to be spreading out the field a lot more this year which means big numbers to come from Ben. They gave Ben everything he needed through the draft, and expect a healthy Santonio Holmes.

- I know Burress is having some contract problems as we speak, but that will all take care of itself. Plaxico basically hobbled his way last year to a monster season. He played the whole year injured and constantly did not practice ONCE the whole week, came into the game and would catch a TD a game. His stats did slowly diminish after catching 8 TD in the first 6 weeks, but a healthy Burress means big numbers this upcoming season. And did I mention he had a pretty darn good Post season.

Remember when Burress predicted a 23-17 win. And then
Brady laughed and said "We're only going to score 17 points."
Then ended up losing 17-14. Good Times Pats fans.

- I'm not too high on Palmer this year. He was pretty much a disappointment last year with the exception of 1 big game. Only threw for 5 TD his last 5 games and with two top receivers in Johnson and T.J., this is simply not good. Wouldn't go out of my way to get him.
- Derek Anderson has had even more weapons surrounding him. So expect a better year out of D.A. this season right? Wrong. Last year was a career year for Derek Anderson, but I believe where you would be getting him in drafts you would be expecting the same production. I'm not saying Anderson will fall off the map and Quinn will be taking snaps away, but don't expect the same kind of season as last year.
- Michael "The Burner" Turner can flat out run the ball. He's a great RUNNING back, but won't get you any receptions. In Fantasy catching the ball is a big deal. I saw this stat and could not believe it. In a 4 year career Turner only has 11 CAREER receptions. Not to mention he will still be splitting time with Jerious Norwood.
- Steve Smith's stats seem to be getting worse each and every year. Also never stays healthy for a full 16 game season.

51-75 Will be posted Monday.
