My Top 14

By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer

Dalton’s talk of football has me fired up for my favorite fantasy sport, only four short months away. Consequently, I’ve thrown together a list of my top 14 players coming into the 2007 season.

1. LT – I strongly believe that whoever gets the No. 1 pick this year shouldn’t get a 2nd round pick. Seriously.

2. Steven Jackson – My man Action Jackson came up huge for me last year and should be able to approach last season’s big totals.

3. Joseph Addai – This is the first year of many where Addai puts up Edge James numbers.

4. Laurence Maroney – Clearly I’m pretty damn high on Maroney this year. The Pats offense is going to be scary good and Maroney is going to be cashing in.

5. Larry Johnson – The Chiefs offense is crumbling, and LJ isn’t going to get a lot of help.

6. Frank Gore – Gore is awesome, but the 49ers are still the 49ers.

7. Brian Westbrook – Every year I pass on Westbrook and every year I regret it. The man is legit.

8. Willie Parker – Fast Willie is fast becoming a good, safe first round pick.

9. Shaun Alexander – I couldn’t list the former MVP any lower.

10. Cedric Benson – Being the man in Chicago should enable Benson to put up top-10 fantasy numbers.

11. Travis Henry – If I didn’t know that Shananighan would have me scrambling to pick up Joe Jerkoff out of No-Name State at least a few times before the season starts, I’d have Henry at No. 7.

12. Rudi Johnson – Sometimes 1,300 yards and 12 TDs is better than upside.

13. Reggie Bush – Bush’s touches should go up this year, as should his number of big plays.

14. Willis McGahee – A change in scenery should lead to a decent spike in production for McGahee.

Honorable Mention (in order) – Maurice Jones-Drew, Clinton Portis, Ronnie Brown, Steve Smith.
