23 goal-line carries, but only 3.9 YPC and 167 receiving yard.

RBArizona Cardinals

Aaron Rodgers

Elite pocket passer who stands alone because of his rushing ability.

QBGreen Bay Packers
Maurice Jones-Drew RB running back JAC Jacksonville Jaguars10Maurice Jones-Drew

Injury history knocks him down seven spots; one of the top receiving backs in the league.

RBSan Francisco 49ers

Miles Austin

Should bounce back with Tony Romo healthy again, though Dez Bryant steals target.

WRDallas Cowboys

Larry Fitzgerald

Put up serviceable fantasy numbers despite abysmal quarterbacking. Should be better in 2011.

WRArizona Cardinals
Michael Vick QB quarterback PHI Philadelphia Eagles20Michael Vick

Michael Vick

Arguably No. 1 overall pick if guaranteed 16-game season; worth a gamble at this spot.

QBPhiladelphia Eagles

Knowshon Moreno

Should start in Denver, but new coach and new management clouds role and environment.

RBDenver Broncos
Jahvid Best RB running back DET Detroit Lions22Jahvid Best

Tim Hightower RB running back 24Tim Hightower

Ryan Mathews

Week 17 showed what might have been had he stayed healthy.

RBSan Diego Chargers

Established as the team's go-to back; Spiller could see a bigger role, however.

RBBuffalo Bills
Mike Wallace WR wide receiver MIA Miami Dolphins35Mike Wallace

His 12.7 YPT was the best mark in the last 10 years; explosive big play receiver.

WRMiami Dolphins

LeGarrette Blount

Bruising back with athleticism, struggled at the goal-line for some reason.

RBNew England Patriots
Mark Ingram RB running back NO New Orleans Saints37Mark Ingram

Mark Ingram

Hard to know what his role will be, but huge upside in that offense if it's prominent.

RBNew Orleans Saints
DeAngelo Williams RB running back CAR Carolina Panthers38DeAngelo Williams

Another elite season (8.7 YPA, 30 TD, 13 INT, 4,710 yards), despite decimated receiving corps.

Vernon Davis

Best speed/size combo among tight ends; environment needs to improve.

TESan Francisco 49ers
Reggie Wayne WR wide receiver IND Indianapolis Colts41Reggie Wayne

Reggie Wayne

Bad per-play numbers, only produced due to volume. Player in a great spot, but on the decline.

WRIndianapolis Colts
Jonathan Stewart RB running back CAR Carolina Panthers42Jonathan Stewart

Jonathan Stewart

Stewart is one of the more talented running backs in football, but a time share with DeAngelo Williams limits his upside.

RBCarolina Panthers
Dez Bryant WR wide receiver DAL Dallas Cowboys43Dez Bryant

Dez Bryant

Despite injury-riddled rookie season, showed superb physical skills. Must fight for targets, however.

WRDallas Cowboys
Tom Brady QB quarterback NE New England Patriots44Tom Brady

Still getting better, and addition of Julio Jones will only help.

QBAtlanta Falcons
Ben Roethlisberger QB quarterback PIT Pittsburgh Steelers46Ben Roethlisberger

Owen Daniels TE tight end HOU Houston Texans52Owen Daniels

Owen Daniels

Needs to stay healthy, and the Texans don't throw a lot in the red zone.

TEHouston Texans
Wes Welker WR wide receiver DEN Denver Broncos53Wes Welker

Wes Welker

Played at less than 100 percent last year; healthy now, but could use a deep threat to make more room.

WRDenver Broncos

Vincent Jackson

Big upside since he's finally under contract and could be Philip Rivers' main target all season.

WRTampa Bay Buccaneers
Percy Harvin WR wide receiver SEA Seattle Seahawks55Percy Harvin

Ryan Grant RB running back 66Ryan Grant

Ryan Grant

In ideal environment, but must hold off James Starks and Alex Green.

Beanie Wells RB running back 72Beanie Wells

Beanie Wells

Clear starter with Ryan Williams (knee) out.

RB

Steve Johnson

Surprise top target for Ryan Fitzpatrick; Bills should be forced to throw plenty in 2011.

WRBuffalo Bills
Cedric Benson RB running back 74Cedric Benson

Cedric Benson

It's not pretty, but 300 carries will pay the bills.

RB
Marshawn Lynch RB running back SEA Seattle Seahawks75Marshawn Lynch

Marshawn Lynch

Epic carry in playoff game possibly buys Lynch a few starts, but 3.6 YPC last year.

RBSeattle Seahawks
Jay Cutler QB quarterback CHI Chicago Bears76Jay Cutler

Jay Cutler

Year 2 with Mike Martz and an offensive line expected to improve.

QBChicago Bears

Joe Flacco

He had 25 TDs on 489 attempts last year; hasn't peaked yet.

Kellen Winslow

When healthy, one of the league's more reliable pass-catching tight ends.

TE
Brandon Lloyd WR wide receiver 79Brandon Lloyd

Brandon Lloyd

Came out of nowhere last year to be league's No. 1 WR; new coach and new QB could slow him some.

WR
Sam Bradford QB quarterback STL St. Louis Rams80Sam Bradford

Sam Bradford

Donnie Avery and Danario Alexander are healthy, and the Rams drafted wideout depth.

QBSt. Louis Rams
Marques Colston WR wide receiver NO New Orleans Saints81Marques Colston

Marques Colston

Reliable receiver in Saints offense, but upside limited by its diversity.

WRNew Orleans Saints
Julio Jones WR wide receiver ATL Atlanta Falcons82Julio Jones

Eli Manning

Competent QB with first-rate playmakers on the outside.

QBNew York Giants

WRSan Diego Chargers
Braylon Edwards WR wide receiver 87Braylon Edwards

Braylon Edwards

Still a big-time downfield weapon.

WR
Mike Tolbert RB running back CAR Carolina Panthers88Mike Tolbert

Mike Tolbert

Bruising fullback could still be in the mix, especially near the goal line.

RBCarolina Panthers
Steve Smith WR wide receiver CAR Carolina Panthers89Steve Smith

Steve Smith

Dangerous downfield target, has he lost a step at age 32?

WRCarolina Panthers
Santana Moss WR wide receiver WAS Washington Redskins90Santana Moss

Santana Moss

Still productive at age 32 - but upside limited by ugly Washington quarterback situation.

WRWashington Redskins
Dustin Keller TE tight end MIA Miami Dolphins91Dustin Keller

Competent back scored 13 TDs, but NE brought in a lot of competition.

RBCincinatti Bengals

Behind Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark and Austin Collie in the pecking order.

WRWashington Redskins

Dynamic pass-catching TE, but will yield goal-line targets to Rob Gronkowski.

TENew England Patriots
Brandon Pettigrew TE tight end DET Detroit Lions99Brandon Pettigrew

Brandon Pettigrew

Quietly caught 71 passes for 722 yards. If Stafford stays healthy, plenty of upside here.

TEDetroit Lions
C.J. Spiller RB running back BUF Buffalo Bills100C.J. Spiller

C.J. Spiller

The Bills have to use him more in Year 2, don't they?

RBBuffalo Bills

Nate Burleson

Should see a lot of single coverage.

WRDetroit Lions
Sidney Rice WR wide receiver SEA Seattle Seahawks102Sidney Rice

Sidney Rice

Athletic playmaker with good size; QB issues in Seattle hurt his value.

WRSeattle Seahawks
Austin Collie WR wide receiver 103Austin Collie

Austin Collie

But for his concussions and hand injury, he might have been a top-10 receiver.

WR
Matthew Stafford QB quarterback DET Detroit Lions104Matthew Stafford

Matthew Stafford

If he ever stays healthy, he has the physical tools and the weapons to break out.

QBDetroit Lions
Jason Campbell QB quarterback CLE Cleveland Browns105Jason Campbell

Jason Campbell

Playing time seems relatively safe in Oakland.

QBCleveland Browns
Michael Bush RB running back CHI Chicago Bears106Michael Bush

Michael Bush

Could be a top-25 property if McFadden went down; should see some goal-line work in any event.

RBChicago Bears
Jared Cook TE tight end STL St. Louis Rams107Jared Cook

Jared Cook

Cook will be an interesting sleeper pick for the upcoming season if Bo Scaife doesn't return.

TESt. Louis Rams
Ben Watson TE tight end NO New Orleans Saints108Ben Watson

Ben Watson

Watson should be the first option in the Cleveland passing game given the lack of other talent.

TENew Orleans Saints
Brent Celek TE tight end PHI Philadelphia Eagles109Brent Celek

Brent Celek

The switch to Michael Vick at quarterback hurt his production.

TEPhiladelphia Eagles
Mike Sims-Walker WR wide receiver 110Mike Sims-Walker

Danny Woodhead

Upside limited by crowded backfield, but has more value in PPR formats.

RBSan Diego Chargers

A.J. Green

All-world prospect will fight for targets in Cincinnati.

WRCincinatti Bengals
Chad Johnson WR wide receiver 117Chad Johnson

Chad Johnson

His days of being a No. 1 WR are likely behind him, but there's upside in New England.

WR
Heath Miller TE tight end PIT Pittsburgh Steelers118Heath Miller

Heath Miller

If the offensive line is at full strength, and if Miller stays healthy, you can expect a bounce back, especially in the scoring department.

TEPittsburgh Steelers
Delone Carter RB running back IND Indianapolis Colts119Delone Carter

Delone Carter

Joseph Addai and Donald Brown are surmountable obstacles.

RBIndianapolis Colts
Bernard Scott RB running back CIN Cincinatti Bengals120Bernard Scott

Bernard Scott

Scott doesn't project as a lead back, but only a Cedric Benson-injury away from assuming feature role.

RBCincinatti Bengals
Michael Crabtree WR wide receiver SF San Francisco 49ers121Michael Crabtree

Michael Crabtree

Top prospect disappointed in Year 2; talent still worth gambling on. Foot issues are concerning, though, and Braylon Edwards may be the better player.

Danny Amendola

Safest of Rams' WRs, especially in PPR leagues.

WRNew England Patriots

Earl Bennett

Pierre Thomas

Crowded backfield, injury history and fickle coach hurt his value, despite strong skills and offense.

Surprisingly productive and can run some too, but upside limited by Buffalo's poor offensive line.

QBTennessee Titans
Malcom Floyd WR wide receiver SD San Diego Chargers128Malcom Floyd

Malcom Floyd

Looked like a legit No. 1 when Vincent Jackson was out; value depends where he signs.

WRSan Diego Chargers
Matt Cassel QB quarterback MIN Minnesota Vikings129Matt Cassel

Matt Cassel

Addition of Baldwin and Breaston gives Cassel more downfield options, but still may be tough to repeat 2010 numbers.

QBMinnesota Vikings
Todd Heap TE tight end 130Todd Heap

Todd Heap

Kolb loves to throw to tight end if Heap can stay healthy.

Justin Forsett RB running back JAC Jacksonville Jaguars131Justin Forsett

Justin Forsett

For whatever reason, the Seahawks don't trust him to carry the load.

RBJacksonville Jaguars
Kevin Kolb QB quarterback BUF Buffalo Bills133Kevin Kolb

Kevin Kolb

Kolb is a clear upgrade from the signal-callers the Cardinals rolled out last year, with the most obvious beneficiary in fantasy terms being star wideout Larry Fitzgerald.

QBBuffalo Bills
Jermaine Gresham TE tight end CIN Cincinatti Bengals134Jermaine Gresham

Jermaine Gresham

Zach Miller thrived with Gradkowski at helm. Gresham has more potential than Miller.

TECincinatti Bengals

Early in training camp, looks locked into top three at receiver for St. Louis.

Kevin Boss TE tight end 136Kevin Boss

Kevin Boss

Nearly entire value tied to touchdown grabs.

Back from two years off in jail, he could easily be a team's top red-zone threat.

WRPittsburgh Steelers
Nate Kaeding K kicker 138Nate Kaeding

Nate Kaeding

If Kaeding stays healthy and returns to his career-accuracy norm (86.5 percent, highest in league history), he could be the league's top-scoring kicker.

Mike Goodson

With both Williams and Stewart ahead of him on depth chart, opportunities limited.

Johnny Knox WR wide receiver 140Johnny Knox

Johnny Knox

Bears coaches talking down Knox in favor of Roy Williams and Devin Hester.

WR

Mark Sanchez

Run-heavy offense limits ceiling but addition of Plaxico Burress gives him dangerous red zone threat.

Davone Bess WR wide receiver CLE Cleveland Browns142Davone Bess

Davone Bess

Possession receiver who relies on volume.

WRCleveland Browns
Kendall Hunter RB running back SF San Francisco 49ers143Kendall Hunter

Kendall Hunter

Rookie is No. 2 of San Francisco depth chart. 49ers expect to be run-heavy and only injury-prone Frank Gore stands between Hunter and heavy workload.

RBSan Francisco 49ers
James Starks RB running back GB Green Bay Packers144James Starks

James Starks

Came on strong in the playoffs - should push Ryan Grant for carries.

RBGreen Bay Packers
Tarvaris Jackson QB quarterback BUF Buffalo Bills145Tarvaris Jackson

He has fantasy upside given his rushing ability, but he didn't show much when given a chance in Minnesota and may have less talent around him.

QBBuffalo Bills
Sebastian Janikowski K kicker OAK Oakland Raiders146Sebastian Janikowski

Janikowski's leg strength is unrivaled, and he has made 80 percent or more of his field goals three years in a row.

KOakland Raiders
Roy Helu RB running back WAS Washington Redskins148Roy Helu

Roy Helu

Mike Williams

Heads into 2011 as the team's No. 1 WR.

Atop the depth chart for now - played well when healthy.

Possible sleeper at the wideout position.

WRArizona Cardinals
Neil Rackers K kicker 166Neil Rackers

Neil Rackers

Extremely accurate in recent years, Rackers has made 90.7 percent of his field goals since 2008, and Houston's offense is strong.

Visanthe Shiancoe

Josh Brown K kicker NYG New York Giants168Josh Brown

Made 33 field goals last year, and Josh McDaniels figures to make offense even better.

KNew York Giants
Matt Bryant K kicker ATL Atlanta Falcons169Matt Bryant

Matt Bryant

Coming off a career-best 90.3 percent success rate on field goals, Bryant is a reliable option in a balanced offense.

A big leg in a strong offense, but average accuracy keeps Crosby out of the top tier.

Neither Felix Jones nor Tashard Choice has set the world on fire; Murray could get a chance.

RBDallas Cowboys
LaDainian Tomlinson RB running back 175LaDainian Tomlinson

LaDainian Tomlinson

Probably a third-down back these days, but could get some goal-line looks, too.

RB
Adam Vinatieri K kicker IND Indianapolis Colts176Adam Vinatieri

Adam Vinatieri

Ended a three-year slump by drilling all but two of his field goal attempts last year, but his range is badly lacking.

KIndianapolis Colts

Rob Bironas

Bironas is a dependable long-range kicker, but his attempts may suffer with QB situation.

KTennessee Titans

Coming back from injury, spells Peyton Hillis behind first-rate offensive line. Bad injury news throughout training camp, though.

RBCleveland Browns
Hines Ward WR wide receiver 181Hines Ward

Hines Ward

Per-play averages still solid - should see targets bounce back with a full season of Roethlisberger.

WR
Ed Dickson TE tight end BAL Baltimore Ravens182Ed Dickson

Ed Dickson

Dennis Pitta looking strong in preseason is bad news for Dickson.

TEBaltimore Ravens
Jay Feely K kicker ARZ Arizona Cardinals183Jay Feely

Jay Feely

Six straight years with over 80 percent of his field goals made, but questionable Arizona offense makes fantasy value unclear.

KArizona Cardinals
Billy Cundiff K kicker 184Billy Cundiff

Billy Cundiff

Career was defined by inconsistency until last year, when he made 89.7 percent of his field goals.

K
Robbie Gould K kicker CHI Chicago Bears185Robbie Gould

Robbie Gould

His year-to-year consistency is almost unmatched, but Gould rarely is better than average as a fantasy kicker.

KChicago Bears
Jordy Nelson WR wide receiver GB Green Bay Packers187Jordy Nelson

Jordy Nelson

Super Bowl performance could indicate a breakout season.

WRGreen Bay Packers
Jerome Simpson WR wide receiver MIN Minnesota Vikings188Jerome Simpson

Jerome Simpson

Enters third year as a pro after finishing 2010 strong; Gradkowski can't be worse than Palmer.

WRMinnesota Vikings
Connor Barth K kicker TB Tampa Bay Buccaneers189Connor Barth

Connor Barth

He could stand to be more accurate, but the Buccaneers offense is improving.

KTampa Bay Buccaneers
Jason Snelling RB running back ATL Atlanta Falcons190Jason Snelling

Jason Snelling

Michael Turner's backup, Snelling caught 44 passes.

RBAtlanta Falcons
Fred Davis TE tight end WAS Washington Redskins191Fred Davis

Fred Davis

Until Cooley leaves, upside is limited.

TEWashington Redskins
Damian Williams WR wide receiver TEN Tennessee Titans192Damian Williams

Damian Williams

Role and stats should improve under Hasselbeck but upside capped in run-first offense.

WRTennessee Titans
Brian Hartline WR wide receiver MIA Miami Dolphins193Brian Hartline

Brian Hartline

Excellent speed but Marshall, Bess targeted more.

WRMiami Dolphins
Greg Little WR wide receiver CLE Cleveland Browns194Greg Little

Greg Little

Could be nice late sleeper as no true No. 1 WR in Cleveland.

WRCleveland Browns
Tashard Choice RB running back BUF Buffalo Bills195Tashard Choice

Tashard Choice

Felix Jones will get majority of carries and 'Boys also drafted DeMarco Murray.

RBBuffalo Bills
Nick Folk K kicker NYJ New York Jets196Nick Folk

Nick Folk

Inconsistent, but gets many field goal opportunities with the Jets.

KNew York Jets
Cecil Shorts WR wide receiver JAC Jacksonville Jaguars197Cecil Shorts

Cecil Shorts

More of a long-term project out of a small school but Jags' WR depth chart is thin.

WRJacksonville Jaguars
Jabar Gaffney WR wide receiver 198Jabar Gaffney

Jabar Gaffney

Numerous WR options, messy QB situation hurts stock.

WR
Darren Sproles RB running back NO New Orleans Saints199Darren Sproles

Darren Sproles

Reggie Bush 2.0. Upside in PPR leagues but won't see enough opportunities to make major dent in standard scoring.

RBNew Orleans Saints
Jason Hanson K kicker 200Jason Hanson

Jason Hanson

Assuming he can get over his knee issue, Hanson has surprisingly high upside in what could be a potent Detroit offense. The 41-year-old has been as productive as ever over the last five years.

K
Donald Brown RB running back IND Indianapolis Colts201Donald Brown

Donald Brown

Oft injured, seems to have fallen on depth chart with Addai back and Delone Carter in fold.

RBIndianapolis Colts
Titus Young WR wide receiver 202Titus Young

Titus Young

Tremendous deep threat but on the smallish side.

WR
Danario Alexander WR wide receiver SD San Diego Chargers204Danario Alexander

Danario Alexander

Knee is still a problem, but at least he made it through final cuts.

WRSan Diego Chargers
Steven Smith WR wide receiver TB Tampa Bay Buccaneers205Steven Smith

Steven Smith

Reliable possession receiver coming off microfracture surgery.

WRTampa Bay Buccaneers
Shaun Suisham K kicker PIT Pittsburgh Steelers206Shaun Suisham

Shaun Suisham

Journeyman kicker lacks job security, but made 14-of-15 field goals last year in a reliable offense.

KPittsburgh Steelers
Anthony Fasano TE tight end KC Kansas City Chiefs207Anthony Fasano

Anthony Fasano

Gets red zone looks, but few targets otherwise.

TEKansas City Chiefs
Emmanuel Sanders WR wide receiver PIT Pittsburgh Steelers208Emmanuel Sanders

Emmanuel Sanders

Could begin to take some of Hines Ward's targets.

WRPittsburgh Steelers
Ryan Succop K kicker KC Kansas City Chiefs209Ryan Succop

Ryan Succop

The Chiefs play a ball-control offense, limiting Succop's scoring opportunities.

KKansas City Chiefs
Chris Ivory RB running back NYJ New York Jets210Chris Ivory

Chris Ivory

Impressive as starter last year but clear No. 3 on depth chart behind Ingram and Thomas. Still, don't overlook with Sean Payton calling the shots.

RBNew York Jets
Kyle Rudolph TE tight end MIN Minnesota Vikings211Kyle Rudolph

Kyle Rudolph

Huge upside but No. 2 on depth chart behind Shiancoe.

TEMinnesota Vikings
Josh Scobee K kicker JAC Jacksonville Jaguars212Josh Scobee

Josh Scobee

Three straight years with field goal success rates less than 80 percent means you can find more accurate options elsewhere.

KJacksonville Jaguars
Louis Murphy WR wide receiver NYG New York Giants213Louis Murphy

Louis Murphy

Could be Raiders' top receiver this year.

WRNew York Giants
Nate Washington WR wide receiver TEN Tennessee Titans214Nate Washington

Nate Washington

Not Titans ideal No. 1 but would be thrust into role if Britt is suspended.

WRTennessee Titans
Olindo Mare K kicker 216Olindo Mare

Olindo Mare

A strong three-year run in Seattle, but Carolina's offense means few opportunities for Mare.

Evan Moore TE tight end PHI Philadelphia Eagles217Evan Moore

Evan Moore

Will compete with Jordan Cameron for snaps.

TEPhiladelphia Eagles
Travis Beckum TE tight end 218Travis Beckum

Travis Beckum

If Boss is gone, Beckham could be sleeper. Former Badger was hugely successful in college.

Addition of Julio Jones hurts stock.

Martellus Bennett TE tight end CHI Chicago Bears221Martellus Bennett

Martellus Bennett

Still behind Witten on depth chart.

TEChicago Bears
Matt Prater K kicker DEN Denver Broncos222Matt Prater

Matt Prater

Has excellent range and improved accuracy in last two years, but opportunities might be limited now that Josh McDaniels is gone.

KDenver Broncos
David Thomas TE tight end 223David Thomas

David Thomas

Only Jimmy Graham stands between Thomas and fantasy relevance in Saints' high-powered offense.

TE
Kyle Orton QB quarterback DAL Dallas Cowboys226Kyle Orton

Kyle Orton

Reportedly told he was the starting quarterback for Denver. But don't expect him to start 16 games--the Tebowmania won't go away that easy.

QBDallas Cowboys
Donald Driver WR wide receiver 227Donald Driver

Donald Driver

Aging quickly but still No. 2 receiver in one of best offenses in NFL.

WR
Torrey Smith WR wide receiver BAL Baltimore Ravens228Torrey Smith

Torrey Smith

Will start as WR3, but blazing speed and height.

WRBaltimore Ravens
Steve Breaston WR wide receiver 229Steve Breaston

Steve Breaston

Will benefit from better quarterback play in Kansas City, but role likely will be smaller.

WR
Jerome Harrison RB running back 230Jerome Harrison

Jerome Harrison

Unbelievable in CLE to end 2009, but no one seems to want to give him a repeat shot.

RB
Ryan Longwell K kicker SEA Seattle Seahawks231Ryan Longwell

Ryan Longwell

Range might be limited, but has incredibly only missed three of his last 46 field goals. Opportunities will be subject to the effectiveness of Donovan McNabb.

KSeattle Seahawks
Phil Dawson K kicker SF San Francisco 49ers232Phil Dawson

Phil Dawson

One of the best kickers of the past decade, but questionable Browns offense limits fantasy value.

KSan Francisco 49ers

Better on a per-play basis than Michael Crabtree.

Handcuff to Adrian Peterson.

Solid run blocker while Daniels catches the passes.

Mike Nugent

The Cincinnati offense figures to be a disaster in 2011.

KCincinatti Bengals
Delanie Walker TE tight end TEN Tennessee Titans241Delanie Walker

Delanie Walker

Nice job as backup but needs injury to Davis to become fantasy relevant.

TETennessee Titans
Jason Avant WR wide receiver PHI Philadelphia Eagles242Jason Avant

Jason Avant

Reliable possession receiver waiting in the wings should injury bug hit Jackson, Maclin.

Matt Prater is the likely kicker for Denver.
