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.

Chris Cooley caught 71 passes last season and the sky is the limit for him.  With all the speed the Redskins have at wide-out, Cooley should have the middle of the field all to himself….and that is a problem for the safeties and linebackers on the opposing defense.  Cooley has played in 32 games (25 starts) and has caught 108 passes for 1,088 yards (10.1 avg) and 13 TDs.

Christian Fauria was signed away from the Patriots and he’s a good receiver too.  Fauria has played in 167 games (119 starts) and has caught 245 passes for 2,473 yards (10.1 avg) and 20 TDs.

Santana Moss had a break-out season with 1,483 yards receiving.  He has great speed, good hands and a wide array of moves in the open field.  Moss has played in 67 games (45 starts) and has caught 235 passes for 3,899 yards (16.6 avg) and 28 TDs.  He also has run the ball 27 times for 124 yards (4.6 ypc).

Brandon Lloyd has a great set of hands but lacks top-end speed.  Lloyd should do much better this season with Brunell throwing to him instead of the riff-raff in San Fran.  Lloyd has played in 45 games (29 starts) and has caught 105 passes for 1,510 yards (14.4 avg) and 13 TDs.  He also has rushed twice for 32 yards.

Antwaan Randle El is the #3 receiver for the Skins.  Randle El is super quick and very accurate throwing the ball on trick plays.  Randle El has played in 64 games (23 starts) and has caught 162 passes for 2,012 yards (12.4 avg) and has 7 TDs.  He also has run the ball 54 times for 316 yards (5.9 ypc).  Randle El has also completed 14 of 16 passes (87.5%) for 128 yards with 2 TDs for a QB Rating of 139.6!

James Thrash is a decent roster filler at this point in his career.  He has played in 121 games (62 starts) and has caught 260 passes for 3,307 yards (12.7 avg) and 18 TDs.  He also has carried the ball 41 times for 362 yards (8.8 avg) and 2 TDs.

David Patten is another decent receiver whose career is winding down.  He has played in 121 games (65 starts) and has caught 258 passes for 3,736 yards (14.5 avg) and 20 TDs.  He also has rushed the ball 11 times for 111 yards (10.1 ypc) and a TD.

Tyler Jacobs has been a disappoinment since drafted out of Florida.  He has played in 38 games (7 starts) and has caught 30 passes for 315 yards (10.5 avg) and a TD.

If John Hall can stay healthy he will help the Redskins, if not he could be a goner.  He has made only 6 of his last 11 kicks of 40+ yards the last two seasons.  He needs to step it up, because playoff teams need clutch kicking.

Hall has only converted 74.3% of his career FG attempts and has averaged 6.61 points per game.

The Redskins have absolutely dominated the Rams in their own building as of late.  The last five times the Redskins have rolled into St. Louis…..they’ve covered every time.  The Redskins are a very physical team that poses problems for finesse teams like the Rams.  I see Clinton Portis running wild in this game.

The Redskins will win on Christmas Eve and cover the spread.

Clinton Portis might be a little flaky with all the disguises he wears at press conferences, but he is quite a football player.  Portis has the speed to take any handoff the distance.  Portis has run for over 1,500 yards in three of his four seasons in the NFL, and his career low is 1,315 yards!  In 60 games (56 starts) Portis has rushed for 5,930 yards (4.7 ypc) and 45 TDs.  He also has caught 141 passes for 1,129 yards and four TDs.

Ledell Betts is a very good back-up and could probably start for alot of teams in the league.  Betts is more of a power runner than Portis, but he doesn’t have the moves or speed of Portis.  Betts has played in 48 games (2 starts) and has rushed for 1,271 yards (4.0 ypc) and five TDs.  He also has caught 52 passes for 507 yards (9.8 avg) and a TD.

Rock Cartwright averaged 7.4 yards per carry last season, and is another good back-up running back.  In 60 games (3 starts) has rushed for 632 yards (4.5 ypc) and 6 TDs.  He also has caught 31 passes for 320 yards (10.3 avg.) and a TD.

The Redskins are in as good as shape as any team in the league at running back.
