1. Peyton Manning, Colts.  (6)   This is a no-brainer.  The greatest fantasy QB of his time.

 2. Tom Brady, Patriots (6)   The greatest QB of his time.  Spreads the ball around, and always puts up numbers.

 3.  Trent Green, Chiefs (3)  Green has put up three straight 4,000 yards passing season together.  Under-rated.

 4. Carson Palmer, Bengals (5)  Knee is a huge question mark.  Has alot of weapons in the passing game.

 5. Eli Manning, Giants (4)  Manning started to emerge from brothers’ shadow.  Has a good supporting cast.

 6. Marc Bulger, Rams (7)  Only needs to stay healthy to lead the greatest show on turf.

 7. Duante Culpepper, Dolphins (8)  Huge risk/reward pick.  Has a huge arm, but can Chambers imitate Moss?

 8. Donovan McNabb, Eagles (9)  Probably would have ranked higher if he had at least one good receiver.

 9. Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks (5)  Injury to Darrell Jackson hurts.  Plus Shaun Alexander will get his carries.

10. Drew Bledsoe, Cowboys (3)  If T.O. behaves, this is too low for Bledsoe.  T.O. always makes his QB better.

11. Brett Favre, Packers (6)  Running backs look healthy, which will put less pressure on him to win game himself.

12. Kurt Warner, Cardinals (9)  Warner would be higher on this list if he weren’t so brittle.  Risk/Reward pick.

13. Drew Brees, Saints (7)  Always scared of injured throwing shoulders, but he has a good supporting cast.

14. Aaron Brooks, Raiders (3)  Hard to hold last season against any Saint.  Will thrive throwing ball to Randy Moss.

15. Jake Delhomme, Panthers (9)  Better in real football than fantasy football.

16. Jake Plummer, Broncos (4)  Will he feel the heat with Jay Cutler around?  If not he’ll be ok.

17. David Carr, Texans (5)  Has shown improvement the last two seasons, and now he has Eric Moulds.

18. Billy Volek, Titans (7)  Volek has been a superb back-up, and now he gets the keys to the car for a season.

19. Steve McNair, Ravens (7)  McNair is only this far down the list because he’s brittle.  Reunited with Mason will help.

20. Philip Rivers, Chargers (3)  Risk/Reward pick.  Not much experience, but a very good supporting cast.

21. Mark Brunell, Redskins (8)  Nice supporting group, but injury prone and old.

22. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers (4)  Lots of questions.  Will he be ok or gun shy?  Steelers run alot and that hurts him.

23. Jon Kitna, Lions (8)  If he wins the job, he could put up huge numbers with Mike Martz calling the plays.

24. Chris Simms, Buccaneers (4)  For first time since high-school, he’s the best QB on his team.

25. Brad Johnson, Vikings (6)  38 year old QB that likes the short pass.  Will he last a whole season?

26. Michael Vick, Falcons (5)  Vick is the most electrifying QB in the league.  But his 150 yards passing won’t help you.

27. Byron Leftwich, Jaguars (6)  He has never played a complete season, and his receiving corps is downright awful.

28. Chad Pennington, Jets (9)  Pennington is a good QB when he plays….which isn’t very often.

29. Charlie Frye, Browns (6)  Looked ok in his brief trial at the end of the season.  Having Edwards and Winslow will help.

30. Kelly Holcomb, Bills (8)  He should win the job, but if you draft a Bills QB…you need your head examined.

31. Rex Grossman, Bears (7)  Look up the word “brittle” in the dictionary and you’ll see Rex Grossman’s face.

32. Alex Smith, 49ers (7)  He’s got a long way to go to be an average QB.

33. Brian Griese, Bears (7)  Sure to start some games, the only question is when.

34. Matt Leinhart, Cardinals (9)  Leinhart probably will get the keys to the explosive offense at some point.

35. Gus Frerotte, Rams (7)  Follows head-coach Scott Linehan around like a puppy.  Could see some time.

36. Josh McCown, Lions (8)  Back-up to Kitna to start the season.  Lions QB of near future.

37. Matt Schaub, Falcons (5)  Better throwing QB than starter Michael Vick.

38. David Garrard, Jaguars (6)  Plays well every season after Leftwich gets hurt.

39. Jeff Garcia, Eagles (9)  Still has a little left in the tank if McNabb goes down.

40. Patrick Ramsey, Jets (9)  QB in waiting behind Pennington.  Only a matter of time until he plays.

41. Trent Dilfer, 49ers (7)  Coach Nolan won’t let his team’s season go to waste if Smith is over-matched again.

42. Jim Sorgi, Colts (6)  Played well in limited action.  Has a super supporting cast if forced into action.

43. JP Losman, Bills (8)  Good athlete for a QB, but not a good passer.

44. Kyle Boller, Ravens (7)  Behind McNair, so he could get a chance.  Played well last December.

45. Joey Harrington, Dolphins (8)  Could get playing time in Miami, but that was never an issue in Detroit.

46. Anthony Wright, Bengals (5)  Wright is a good athlete and the Bengals have good receivers…but, Wright is not a good passer.

47. Vince Young, Titans (7)  If the Titans throw him to the wolves, he will get chewed up and spit out.

48. Jay Cutler, Broncos (4)  Cutler’s year will be next season.

49. Sage Rosenfels, Texans (5)  Not very productive in limited chances.

50. Charlie Batch, Steelers (4)  Running team, but if Big Ben’s head hurts he might get forced into action.

51.  Chris Weinke, Panthers (9)  Had his chance, and then the Panthers signed Delhomme.

52. Todd Collins, Redskins (8)  Playing behind Brunell with a loaded supporting cast.

53. Damon Huard, Chiefs (3)  Chiefs would probably run alot if he were forced into action.

54. Jamie Martin, Saints (7)  Good completion % usually.  A decent back-up.

55. Jay Fiedler, Buccaneers (4)  Still hasn’t thrown a pass in camp.  Game manager that wouldn’t put up big numbers.

56. Matt Cassel, Patriots (6)  Hasn’t started a real game since high school.

57. A.J. Feeley, Chargers (3)  If you have a penalty for pick-offs, don’t say this name.

58. Andrew Walter, Raiders (3)  Hasn’t played a down, but has good receivers.

59. Aaron Rodgers, Packers (6)  The fact that the Packers drafted a QB speaks volumes.

60. Tim Hasselbeck, Giants (4)  Giants have a good supporting cast, but Hasselbeck hasn’t proved he could take advantage of that.

61. Ken Dorsey, Browns (6)  Trying to hold off Derek Anderson for back-up job.

62. Seneca Wallace, Seahawks (5)  Not a good passer.

63.  Tony Romo, Cowboys (3)  No experience…..scary.

64. Mike McMahon, Vikings (6)  Good runner, but the worst throwing QB in the league.

Randy McMichael is one of the best tight ends in football.  He has the speed to get deep and the toughness to go over the middle and make the tough catch.  McMichael has caught 60+ passes twice in his career, and could have a huge year with Culpepper throwing him the ball.  McMichael has played in 64 games (all starts) and has caught 221 passes for 2,456 yards (11.1 avg) and 15 TDs.  He also has rushed one time for 8 yards.

Justin Peele was brought in as a blocking TE.  He has played in 62 games (19 starts) and has caught 40 passes for 270 yards (6.8 avg) and 4 TDs.

Keith Heinrich will also be a blocking TE for the Fins.  Heinrich has played in 18 games (3 starts) and has caught 9 passes for 65 yards (7.2 avg) and 2 TDs.

With Duante Culpepper aboard the Dolphins will look to take more shots down the field this season.  Chris Chambers has all the tools to dominate a game, but he’s been held back by the Dolphins QBs, that could change this season.  Chambers had his first 1,000 yard season last year.  Chambers has played in 78 games (69 starts) and has caught 315 passes for 4,596 yards (14.6 avg) and 39 TDs.  He also has rushed 32 times for 265 yards (8.3 ypc).

Marty Booker has two 1,000 yard receiving years in his career.  Booker doesn’t have deep speed, but he catches what he gets his hands on.  Booker has played in 99 games (83 starts) and has caught 404 passes for 5,008 yards (12.4 avg) and 27 TDs.

Derek Hagan looks like he might be the #3 WR in his rookie season.  Hagan is the third round pick out of Arizona State and he looks to be a possession type receiver due to his lack of speed.

Kelly Campbell is from Minnesota and he caught quite a few deep passes from Culpepper.  He could beat Hagan out for the #3 spot.  He has played in 37 games (11 starts) and has caught 57 passes for 1,062 yards (18.6 avg) and 8 TDs.  He also has rushed 14 times for 86 yards (6.1 ypc).

Wes Welker is a fan favorite.  He always seems to be going full-tilt.  Welker is the kick-returner, punt returner, back-up placekicker and #4 WR.  Welker has played in 31 games (1 start) and has caught 29 passes for 434 yards (15.0 avg) and no TDs.

The Dophins have covered the last five trips to Indianapolis.  The Colts will probably be resting players by then, but Coach Saban will be all business like he always is.  The Dolphins will not only cover this game….they will win it outright.

Mare made a huge comeback last season, kicking the best he has since 2001.  Mare was 7 for 8 over 40 yards last season!  Mare looks like he again can be trusted after a few down years, including 2003 when he blamed a few misses on the infield dirt….due to the Marlins playing deep in October and winning the World Series.

Mare has nailed 82.0% of his field goals in his career and has averaged 6.82 points per game.

Offensive co-ordinator Mike Mularkey wants to run 50% of the time this season.  With a shaky QB situation you can see why.  But the emergence of Ronnie Brown to star level this season is the real reason.  Brown won’t have to split carries with Rickey Williams this season and he will excell.  Brown has a unique blend of speed and power that doesn’t come around very often.  Last season Brown played in 15 games (14 starts) and rushed for 907 yards (4.4 ypc) and 4 TDs.  He also caught 32 passes for 232 yards (7.3 avg) and a TD.  Brown is an everydown back, and as long as the Dolphins are feeding him the rock….they will be winning games.

Sammy Morris is the back-up.  He had a decent season two years ago when Rickey Williams “retired” before Training Camp.  Morris is a tough runner, but not a difference maker.  In 82 games (19 starts) he has rushed for 1,069 yards (3.8 ypc) and 13 TDs.  He also has caught 91 passes for 630 yards and a TD.  If something happens to Brown and Morris has to start, I think Mularkey would start relying more heavily on the pass.

Travis Minor is a typical third-down back as he is too small to withstand the pounding a starting running back has to endure.  Minor initially was the starter when Rickey Williams quit, but he couldn’t hold onto the job.  Minor has played 75 games (4 starts) and has rushed for 1,059 yards (4.1 ypc) and 8 TDs.  He also has caught 47 passes for 351 yards and a TD.

The Dolphins offense will progress at the same speed Ronnie Brown does.
