In addition to the rankings, I will throw in a mid-season fantasy update. So far my teams are doing well so I'm happy with that, but let's take a look at the unpredictability of draft picks. According to Yahoo! Preseason Rankings, the top 10 were:
Player / Current Ranking
Tomlinson 25
Peterson 10
S. Jackson 31
Westbrook 17
Addai 136
Barber 3
Gore 7
Brady 2061
Portis 1
Moss 58
I think that proves the draft has a large amount of luck involved, and playing the waiver wire is probably just as important as the draft in the long run. No amount of research in the world could have predicted injuries, so I'd say sometimes auto-drafting won't end up being all that bad. Luckily in both my pay leagues I drafted Portis first...that one is working out.
Onto the rankings. This week I'll ask the biggest question on my mind for each team.
1. Tennessee Titans - Undefeated? Really?
2. New York Giants - Can they afford to cut Plax?
3. Carolina Panthers - How old is Muhsin Muhammad?
4. Pittsburgh Steelers - Is Byron potentially a better option than Ben?
5. Washington Redskins - Now that Campbell has finally thrown an interception, are there many more to come?
6. Philadelphia Eagles - What will Westbrook and McNabb hurt next?
7. Tampa Bay Bucs - Without consistency, can this team actually go anywhere?
8. Green Bay Packers - Is Ryan Grant finally healthy and ready to get the running game back on track?
9. Arizona Cardinals - Will Matt Leinart go on a drinking binge, get Warner's wife pregnant, and break both of Kurt's kneecaps while yelling "I f***ed the prom queen, what have you done bitch"?
10. Indianapolis Colts - With Addai and Manning back, will they regain their AFC prowess?
11. New England Patriots - How bad does a knee infection hurt?
12. Dallas Cowboys - Will Romo even want to come back to this mess when he could just chill in Hollywood with his millions of dollars and "superstar" girlfriend?
13. Chicago Bears - SEXY REXY! Wait that's not a question, or is it?
14. Buffalo Bills - Will another disappointing season mean the Bills are Canada bound?
15. Baltimore Ravens - Are they good enough to survive Joe Flacco?
16. Denver Broncos - Why is Ryan Torain getting so much hype?
17. New Orleans Saints - Will Drew Brees break Dan Marino's passing yards records, and if so, is he a shoe-in for MVP?
18. Atlanta Falcons - With the addition of a few defensive stars, will this team dominate the NFC South for years to come?
19. New York Jets - How does this team keep winning?
20. Minnesota Vikings - Adrian Peterson or Chris Johnson for next year's fantasy draft?
21. San Diego Chargers - Is Merriman the most important player for his own team's defense in the league?
22. Miami Dolphins - After surviving the brutal part of their schedule, can last year's laughing stock make a playoff run?
23. Jacksonville Jaguars - What is different about this year's team and last year's?
24. Houston Texans - My prediction for them to get to over .500 is not looking good with Schaub injured, but can Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme lead them back?
25. Cleveland Browns - How many interceptions will Brady Quinn throw this week?
26. Seattle Seahawks - Will Seattle sports fans finally "drink the punch"?
27. St. Louis Rams - Was Donnie Avery the biggest swing of emotion in fantasy football history in a 2 week span?
28. Kansas City Chiefs - Will Larry Johnson be on the Raiders/Bengals next season?
29. San Francisco 49ers - Will Vernon Davis be on the Raiders/Bengals next season?
30. Cincinatti Bengals - Will anyone help the Bengals next season?
31. Oakland Raiders - Will they win a game the rest of this season?
32. Detroit Lions - Culpepper? Really?
I look forward to your answers!

Well here are the answers to your questions my friend.
1. Yes.
2. Probably.
3. 264.
4. If by better option, you mean, can he get sacked just as easily, then yes.
5. I predict 6 more all season.
6. Ear lobes and eye sockets.
7. Umm, no?
8. They still play football in Green Bay? I did not know that, I thought once Favre left they just shut the city down.
9. Of course.
10. Probably not.
11. Pretty bad, unless your surrounded by super models who want to have sex with you all the time, then it does not matter.
12. He has a superstar girlfriend? Oh, did he dump Simpson and go back with Carrie Underwood. How sweet.
13. Sexy Rexy is going BALLS DEEP BABY!
14. There's another football team in New York, who knew?
15. Hahaha, absolutely not.
16. He slept with Jesus.
17. Sure, and the Saints go 8-8. Woo hoo.
18. Especially once Vick gets out of prison and returns to the team...
19. Brett Favre is the greatest human being alive. Oh wait, no he sucks, sorry.
20. Purple Jesus.
21. Yes.
22. Not a chance.
23. The entire time got replaced with injury prone monkeys.
24. Mmmm, food reference...
25. 11.
26. Yes, and it's laced with arsenic.
27. Not really.
28. Nope, he will be back at State College Park, polishing his rims and making fun of my car. Dick.
29. Nope. Too busy watching coaches take their pants off.
30. Yes, Jerricho Cotchery.
31. HAHAHAHAHA, are you serious? Absolutely they will win one more. They will probably beat somebody ridiculous, like the Titans, do they play the Titans?
32. I guess the league was conspiring to keep him out. Good thing he found an Arena team to take him. OH, the Lions are still in the NFL???
Haha thanks for enlightening me. Some comments:
- I put quotes around "superstar" for a reason
- Vick will not be back with the Falcons, Al Davis already signed him
- Looks like my Brady Quinn bashing was a tad hasty...will there be 2 great Brady QB's?
- Same for Torain..maybe he is good
- After years in the NFL, how nice will LJ's rims be? Bigger than the actual car? Spinning so fast they hypnotize girls into sleeping with him?
- Yes the Lions are still in the NFL, although not winning a game barely qualifies them...
