Fantasy Football - Dave's Last Minute Picks

We all know that guy.  The one who is preparing for their fantasy draft two months before the day they are supposed to meet up with their buddies to drink some pints and make some picks.  While the life of a student isn't identical to the one we're used to here at Unigirl Canada, the one thing we are both short on is time.

Let’s face it, no one wants to be the guy that shows up at the draft unprepared, traversing the room to ask everyone to borrow their cheat sheet.  That's why with a week left until the NFL season gets going, Unigirl associate Dave Bang has prepared a concise cheat sheet that's perfect for the busy student.  We all know fantasy football puts a heavy emphasis on the big boys so here is what Dave sees as the top 5 receivers, quarterbacks and running backs the league has to offer.


Top 5 Quarterbacks

1. Drew Brees
No Super Bowl hangover for this guy. Brees will be looking to add another 5000 yard season to his resume.

2. Tom Brady
Out for vengeance. After an early playoff exit, expect another “Brady goes long to Moss” like season.

3. Peyton Manning
With a football IQ of 200, Manning will continue to pick apart defenses around the league.

4. Aaron Rogers
He is only getting better.

5. Matt Shaub
If Shaub can stay healthy all he has to do is put the ball into the leagues best receivers hands and let him do the rest.


Top 5 Running Backs

1. Chris Johnson
Will score on you faster than you can scream “TOUCHDOWN.”  Just look at the numbers.

2. Adrian Peterson
This guy is a monster, he’s fast, he’s strong and he’s out for revenge.

3. Michael Turner
Turner the burner will put up big numbers if he can manage to stay healthy all season.

4. Morris Jones-Drew
This stocky back should see a lot of the ball this year in Jacksonville’s ‘Run Heavy’ offence.

5. Ray Rice
Baltimore will be a contender this year. Lead by Flacco and the big play abilities of Ray Rice.


Top 5 Wide Receivers


1. Andre Johnson
The Best.

2. Randy Moss
Like stated before, the Pats are due for a Super Bowl appearance.

3. DeSean Jackson
Although he isn’t the tallest of receivers, he has big play capabilities. Already showing great chemistry with Kevin Kolb, expect Jackson to put up big numbers.

4. Miles Austin
How bout them cowboys? After a break out season last year expect Miles Austin to put up big numbers in Texas.

5. Reggie Wayne
Never hurts to be Peyton Manning’s go to receiver. With great hands and a great QB, comes great responsibility.
