I hope the all Giants fans “read between the lines” on the Jerry Reese recent press conference. Back Off, I know what I’m doing…would be the theme.
Now, with that said lets all raise a pint to Jerry Reese and laugh at some of the comments he thinks we should believe. Roll the highlights…
1. “We had a game plan and we are sticking to our game plan” – So what plan would that be? Loosing 3 out of 5 of our top Free Agents and ignore anyone on the open market that might make this team better?

Other GFB Fantasy Focus Rankings:
QBs 1-12, QBs 13-24, RBs 1-12, RBs 13-24, RBs 25-48
These rankings are for standard, 12 team non-PPR leagues.
1. Andre Johnson- The no doubt #1 WR based on ridiculous skills and great situation.
2. Randy Moss- Even in a down season, he was the #2 fantasy WR. He could very well be the #1 receiver if Tom Brady bounces all the way back.
3. Calvin Johnson- Matthew Stafford will have to take a full step forward to justify this ranking, but Calvin Johnson is as talented as anyone on this list.

These rankings are for standard, 12 team non-PPR leagues.
13. Cedric Benson- He finally broke out last year after being given a third(?) chance by the Bengals. It’s a good situation, as they have shifted towards a rushing mentality. Unfortunately, he contributes nothing in the passing game]
14. Ryan Grant- He’s the man in Green Bay, although he’s not an explosive runner. His fantasy numbers over the past two years have been great, despite low yards per carry.
15. Ryan Matthews- Others have him ranked higher, but I’d be weary of taking a rookie RB in the second round. He couldn’t have fallen into a better situation, though.
16. Beanie Wells- Big talent, but Matt Leinart’s troubles could make for some tough games. We still don’t know exactly how many carries he’ll get, but he could explode.

Anyone who has ever played fantasy football or watched “The League” knows that running backs are the most important position in the game. Unfortunately, aside from a small handful, most RBs this year have big question marks. That’s why it is more important than ever to get these picks right.
These rankings are for standard, 12-team non-PPR leagues.
1. Chris Johnson- Something tells me he won’t run for 2,000 yards again. Having said that, I wouldn’t bet against 1,600 and 10 touchdowns. Nor would I complain.
2. Adrian Peterson- More of a 1B than a 2. You can’t go wrong with either of these guys. He obviously takes a hit if Favre retires.
3. Ray Rice- The development of Flacco and the addition of Boldin should open things up for the former Rutgers standout.
4. Maurice Jones-Drew- An eyelash behind Rice. Hard to find a flaw in his game, but it should be noted that he saw an increase of 115 carries last season.

This is the second half of my QB rankings. QBs 1-12 can be found here.
13. Matt Ryan- With Tony Gonzalez finally starting to show his age, I’m not sure Ryan will take the step forward some might expect of him. He’ll be better though, and he has a bright future. You could do worse.
14. Donovan McNabb- His receiving core is a definite step back from Philly’s explosive core. He won’t be phased by the abundance of young receivers, but his days of being a #1 fantasy QB could be over.
15. Chad Henne- Henne is just a solid guy, but the addition of Brandon Marshall gives him a legitimate #1 receiver to throw to. Davone Bess and Greg Camarillo are respectable NFL players, but if anything happens to Marshall, Henne’s value is gone.
16. Carson Palmer- Ochocinco and TO is nice, but the Bengals turned into a conservative, run-first team. Maybe Palmer will regain some of his old magic, but you shouldn’t count on it.

Why should you trust me?
You shouldn’t take fantasy football advice from just anyone, especially a total stranger on the internet. You wouldn’t take stock tips from some homeless person who sleeps on the train, would you? So why should you trust me, also a homeless person who sleeps on the train, with fantasy football advice?
I’ll tell you why:
I’ve been competing in fantasy football since before you were born, and I’ve never lost a league. I’ve even won leagues I didn’t participate in. Salman Rushdie once said that my fantasy football performance was his inspiration for the award winning novel “Midnight’s Children.”
So if you want to win your league, or a league you aren’t in, you’d best heed my advice. If you do, you have an 88% chance of taking home some hardware. Guaranteed.
So let’s get to the rankings. Here’s the top 12 QBs. 13-24 comes tomorrow.
These rankings are for standard leagues, no points per reception. This also assumes Favre does not retire.
1. Drew Brees- The first three are pretty close for me, but Brees is still in his prime, as are most of his offensive weapons. Colston, Meachem, Henderson, Bush and Thomas are all effective pass-catchers, but he could turn a bunch of scrubs into legitimate receivers. You can’t go wrong with any of the top three, but Brees gets the slight edge.
2. Aaron Rodgers- Last year’s #1 fantasy QB should flourish again, especially with a full season of Jermichael Finley.
3. Peyton Manning- Rodgers and Manning are neck and neck, but when players are that close, I like to look at their fantasy playoff matches. And the fact is, there’s always a shot Peyton will be resting by week 16. Aside from that, this guy is still as good as anyone.
