The Best and The Worst

After a tough weekend at work, I am back with my latest addition to the best and the worst sleeper positional picks for fantasy football. Today I will be giving you both the quarterback and running back positions in lei of most fantasy football drafts being today. First we will get on track with the quarterback position, enjoy.


QUARTERBACKS

In my opinion and along with everyone else there is a foursome at the quarterback position that are the class of the fantasy football world. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Tony Romo have established themselves as must have quarterbacks on fantasy teams. Here is the best and the worst of the rest.

BEST


1. DONOVAN MCNABB - No matter who his receivers are, no matter if he is hurt or not, McNabb has always put up great fantasy numbers over the years and will continue to do so until his career is over. It sure does help to have a running back like Brian Westbrook behind him, but McNabb will always get the job done for your squad, I will guarantee it.

2. MATT HASSELBACK - Another one that will make any receiver a star. Quietly slips down draft boards for whatever reason, Matt is good for 25-30 touchdowns a season with 3500 yards passing. And you know if you make the playoffs with him, he is going to deliver with Seattle always in the run at the post season.

3. BEN ROETHLISBERGER - I am always afraid of drafting this guy but the thing with Big Ben is that he is so clutch with red zone touchdown passes that you gotta draft him on your team. I am expecting big things from Ben this year again with a healthy Willie Parker in the backfield and the emergence of young stud receiver Santonio Holmes.

4. CARSON PALMER - With receivers like the ones that he throws to week in and week out it is hard not to draft Palmer early in leagues.

5. BRETT FAVRE - Will he be the Brett Favre of two years ago or last year? A well deserved question to ask and I think that it will be the latter of the two.


WORST


1. TARVARIS JACKSON - Whether you think that it is possible or not that he is going to be good this season, you want to try and stay away from this guy as long as possible at least this season. Of course you could end up like me and take him anyway just for shits and giggles.
2. VINCE YOUNG - Let's face he, he is a great player that knows how to win games. But in the fantasy football world it is just not going to happen for you.
3. JAMARCUS RUSSELL - If you watched any of the pre season games Oakland didn't have him throw a pass over 20 yards in a game. Wasn't the reason they drafted him was because of his big arm?
4. BRODIE CROYLE - If you read my last fantasy post about receivers you would notice that I put Kansas City's #1 receiver Dwayne Bowe on the worst list. Same applies to his quarterback, no offense line equals long season.
5. CHAD PENNINGTON - NO, NO, NO!!!
