    Is it ever too early to start talking fantasy football? I think not.

    Who goes first this year?

    It has to be LT2 until he gets hurt. The man is too consistent and too good.

    I have Stephen Jackson as my #2, but I haven't put too much thought into it yet.

    I'll go AD because Vikings O has no weapons that scare anyone but him so he'll get plenty of chances to get the ball

    For the first time in a long time, there is no obvious #1. I think the most popular first picks will be LT and AP.

    It has to be a running back: Addai, Tomlinson, Peterson, or Westbrook -- in no particular order. I don't trust Frank Gore or Steven Jackson.

    All of these guys will get plenty of touches. If you're in a point per reception league, Addai and Westbrook are top players.

    Reggie Bush could also bounce back and have another solid FANTASY year if Deuce is healthy, or if Shaun Alexander is signed. Bush works well in a committee.

    Darren McFadden, Rashard Mendenhall, Kevin Smith, and Jonathan Stewart could all have solid years as rookies. Rookie production is always an unknown though.

    Tomlinson, Peterson, Westbrook in that order. Brady and Moss will fall back to earth a little bit. Jackson, LJ and Bush will have bounce back years. Top rookies in order...Stewart, McFadden, Forte, Mendenhall, Smith.

    To think I stole AP in the fourth round last year...and now its gonna cost for him. It's definitely between him, LT, and Addai for the top spot. Westbrook gets injured too much to ever be #1. Too bad the bastard came up short when I needed him most. Round 2 of my playoffs was the week he decided to lunch it and I lost by 1 point thanks to my opponent's Seahawks D scoring 23 freaking points-unbelievable.

    I dont do fantasy leagues and I hate the person I selected but I would say Tom Brady. Heres hoping Im right and he gets a torn shoulder in our first game this year vs them.

    I'd say Tomlinson. You may consider Peterson if it's a keeper league instead though.

    You guys that pray for injury are ridiculous.

    Here's a question for everyone...

    I'm in a PPR keeper league where you can keep 3 players while losing the pick 2 rounds lower than they were chosen in the previous year. (players picked in the 1st 3 rounds from the previous year are not aloud to be kept)

    I am keeping:
    AD - lose my 3rd rounder
    Witten - lose my 9th rounder
    Turner - lose my 12th rounder.

    And I have the 2nd overall pick. Assuming LT goes #1, who should I take?

    Westbrook?
    Jackson?
    Addai?
    Wayne? (Moss will be kept by another GM)
    Owens?
    Brady?

    Should I go with a 3rd RB or pick up the best WR in the draft? or even best quarterback?

    At the moment I am torn between Jackson, Westbrook and Wayne.

    How many running backs can you start? If you can start 3, I'd go for Westbrook or Addai. They'll both get a lot of receptions, and they should put up big numbers.

    In a PPR league Westbrook>>>>>Wayne or Addai

    Westbrook no contest...just make sure to get his backup!

    Have you ever played football? I did and we tried to injury other teams players in the pile or with a nice hit. Of course I hope for injuries on the other team just like I hope my team dont get injured. This is football it is war and whatever it takes to win I am for. I'd cheat like the Patriots if Id have to. They just had the bad luck to get caught. This is a do or die world whether I like it or not.

    I can't believe Brady is not considered for the top in any leagues I've seen so far. In my league last year he was the lead scorer.
