Fantasy football week is upon us once again. Each FanHouse NFL division writer used their keen insight to predict the top four fantasy football scorers at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end.
AFC East | AFC North | AFC South | AFC West
NFC East | NFC North | NFC South | NFC West
Ray Glier covers the NFC South.
QUARTERBACK
1. Drew Brees, Saints: 4,400 yards, 30-plus touchdowns.
He just keeps getting better. Now, we keep hearing/reading Reggie Bush is going to be tough to handle.
2. Matt Ryan, Falcons: 3,700 yards, 25-plus touchdowns.
Ryan threw for 2,916 yards in 2009 while notching just 14 games and playing injured in others. He reloads this season for big numbers.
3. Josh Freeman, Bucs: 2,600 yards, 15-plus touchdowns.
This was a semi-tough one with Carolina’s Moore. Who deserves to be last between these guys? Freeman has a west coast offense and more targets and does not have to turn and hand the ball to two 1,000-yard rushers. But the Bucs also don’t want the game only in his hands: they want Caddy carrying. Freeman also has a busted thumb.
4. Matt Moore, Panthers: 2,500 yards, 15-plus touchdowns.
Is Steve Smith over the hill? If he is, Moore is in for a tough year. He passed for 1,053 yards in seven games last season, but who knows this season.
