The Top 25 Picks for Fantasy Football 2007

This is the third and final installment of Michael Fabiano's rankings posted on NFL.com. I've posted his top 5 by position for Offense and Defense. Today I am sharing the top 25 picks ranked by Michael Fabiano. It is too early for Fantasy Football N' Stuff to do their own rankings, so this is just a taste of what is to come.

Top 25 Fantasy Football Rankings

1. LaDainian Tomlinson RB SD
2. Steven Jackson RB STL
3. Larry Johnson RB KC
4. Frank Gore RB SF
5. Peyton Manning QB IND
6. Shaun Alexander RB SEA
7. Joseph Addai RB IND
8. Willie Parker RB PIT
9. Brian Westbrook RB PHI
10. Rudi Johnson RB CIN
11. Laurence Maroney RB NE
12. Reggie Bush RB NO
13. Travis Henry RB DEN
14. Willis McGahee RB BAL
15. Clinton Portis RB WAS
16. Ronnie Brown RB MIA
17. Steve Smith WR CAR
18. Drew Brees QB NO
19. Maurice Jones-Drew RB JAC
20. Deuce McAllister RB NO
21. Carson Palmer QB CIN
22. Edgerrin James RB ARI
23. Chad Johnson WR CIN
24. Cedric Benson RB CHI
25. Torry Holt WR STL

I think it is too early to buy the hype on some of these position players who didn't really prove themselves last year. I'd actually love to see Jones-Drew put a little higher due to his monster fantasy season last year.

Fantasy Football Rankings Kickers and Defense for 2007

This is part 2 of Michael Fabiano's fantasy football rankings. Yesterday I posted the top 5 rankings at QB,RB, WR, and TE. Today is the Kickers and Defense portion. Tomorrow I will do 25 of the top 100.

Kickers

Nate Kaeding
Jeff Wilkins
Adam Vinatieri
Robbie Gould
Neil Rackers

Defenses

Baltimore
Chicago
San Diego
New England
Miami

These are only the kickers and the defense, but in some leagues it can be huge to a league. Last season when I drafted Baltimore in the 7th round (12 teams) I was really lucky. It was the 7th defense drafted, and they ended up scoring a huge amount of points. I won the league, and Baltimore Defense was my 2nd highest scorer.

Don't overlook the defense.

Fantasy Football Rankings for 2007

Quarterbacks

Peyton Manning
Drew Brees
Carson Palmer
Tom Brady
Marc Bulger

Running Backs

LaDainian Tomlinson
Steven Jackson
Larry Johnson
Frank Gore
Shaun Alexander

Wide Receivers

Steve Smith
Chad Johnson
Torry Holt
Marvin Harrison
Terrell Owens


Tight Ends

Antonio Gates
Tony Gonzalez
Todd Heap
Jeremy Shockey
Chris Cooley

Donovan McNabb may or may not be a steal as the 6th quarterback. Injury prone, yet he had such a huge first half last season I didn't care he got injured. He pretty much got me into the playoffs by himself, and before he went down for the season.

At running back, it is interesting how much Shaun Alexander has slipped, from first overall to 5th in his position. I didn't take the hype and draft him last year. I'd much rather take Frank Gore here as well.

Terrell Owens stock can only go up with Tony Romo as the QB. If he can keep his head on, I think Owens is in for a career season. Is he worth the risk? I'd take him over Boldin and Fitzgerald, you never know what you're getting.

Tomorrow I will post the kickers and defenses.
