Rodgers top 5 Fantasy QB according to ESPN

ESPN released their initial fantasy football projections and Rodgers was ranked 5th for quarterbacks. A little higher than I would have expected. Only QBs ahead of him are Brees, Brady, Manning, and Warner. Jennings and Driver were 6th and 31st respectively for WRs, and Ryan Grant was 19th for RBs.

To no surprise, AP is top player overall.

I also love how ESPN already has Chad Ochocinco on there :lol:.

I'm a fantasy football junkie so I'm pumped this sort of stuff is already coming out.

I took ARod in one of the last rounds last year, and it paid off. He was the #2 fantasy QB. Unfortunately, I'm guessing I won't get him as a late-round steal this upcoming year...

I got pretty lucky too. I went Brady 1st round but took Phillip Rivers as my back up. Rivers was basically a top 5 QB in most leagues last year.

I actually ended up taking both Rivers and ARod in late rounds. I had by far the top QB 1-2 punch. I let matchups dictate the starter and I almost always got good points out of them.

Can't imagine that happens again this year. At one point in the season, I had the top 2 QBs.

My team was ridiculous last season, but they choked in the playoffs effectively putting an end to my run. I landed the number one overall pick and took Adrian Peterson. I followed that up with a Drew Brees and Larry Fitzgerald back to back. Kellen Winslow at TE, who under produced but Greg Olsen did a nice job. I got Chris Johnson and Aaron Rodgers both late in the draft. Flipped Rodgers for Roddy White later in the season.

QB: Brees
RB: Peterson
RB: Johnson
WR: Fitzgerald
WR: White
TE: Winslow
