Fantasy Football in June

Its never too early to talk Fantasy Football is what I like to say. Yes it may only be June. Yes mini camps are still in progress. Yes Pats fans still think they went 19-0 and won the Superbowl. And Yes every one other then Dan Patrick and myself are still in shock Eli Manning and the Giants upset The "Unbeatable" "Best Team Ever" Patriots team. But where there is reality, there is fantasy. I need a break from fantasy baseball as does every other dedicated fan. So what other way is there to take a break from fantasy baseball? Talking Fantasy Football.

Mock Drafts are already in progress and I have already done my share of reviewing of the latest rankings. Fantasy football is closer then you may expect, and it's never too early to start preparing. I will be doing a top 100 with 25 each post. The top 100 will be completed by next week. Here is my Top 100 June Rankings. There will be a quick breakdown present after every 25 (each post).

Yeah LT's my #1. Surprise Surprise.
  1. Ladainian Tomlinsom-Chargers-RB
  2. Brian Westbrook-Eagles-RB
  3. Joseph Addai-Colts-RB
  4. Adrian Peterson-Vikings-RB
  5. Steven Jackson-Rams-RB
  6. Marshawn Lynch-Bills-RB
  7. Clinton Portis-Redskins-RB
  8. Randy Moss-Patriots-WR
  9. Willis Mcgahee-Ravens-RB
  10. Frank Gore-49ers-RB
  11. Marion Barber-Cowboys-RB
  12. Larry Johnson-Chiefs-RB
  13. Peyton Manning-Colts-QB
  14. Tom Brady-Patriots-QB
  15. Terrell Owens-Cowboys-WR
  16. Braylon Edwards-Browns-WR
  17. Ryan Grant-Packers-RB
  18. Reggie Wayne-Colts-WR
  19. Willie Parker-Steelers-RB
  20. Maurice Jones-Drew-Jaguars-RB
  21. Jamal Lewis-Browns-RB
  22. Andre Johnson-Texans-WR
  23. Tony Romo-Cowboys-QB
  24. Brandon Jacobs-Giants-RB
  25. Laurence Maroney-Patriots-RB
-Adrian Peterson is not my solidified #2 like everyone else because he is always an injury risk. The consistency level also is not there. I had AP last year, when he was good he single handedly won me games, but the minimum average you would expect out of a #2 fantasy player was not always there.
- Marshawn Lynch only played in 11 games and was still a top 10 back. No Sophomore slump here.

Saw this image and could not help but laugh. Football's
so easy a caveman can do it! (Pause for Laughs)


- Frank Gore drops with an iffy season season last year, New coach in Martz (does not like to run the ball), and always an injury risk.
- Call me crazy but I don't think Brady throws 50 TDs again. In all seriousness tho I do not think the Patriots rebound and have another great season as expected. I actually think Manning is back to being the #1 QB.
- Owens and Romo will compete for the #1 connection.

Terrell Owens won't be needing to steal a fan's popcorn this
year. A happy Terrell Owens means many touchdowns to come.

- Grant was a stud last year, and the Packers only plan on running the ball even more this year to take some pressure off of Rodgers.
-I Love me some Braylon Edwards. Michigan Fan until the day i die, but with the bias part of me aside, I really do believe Braylon Edwards has a legit shot at finishing the year as the #1 WR.
- Patriots will run more this season, I'm liking Boney Maroney to rack up more points this year.

26-50 will be posted this Friday.
