Prisco Rates Top 50 Players

These ratings to me are crap. with pressure Manning was destroyed... but i guess that what you get from the same guy who thinks the skins should of picked kw over Taylor. Brady should be #1 no question because regaurdless he has won to superbowls within 3 years, respect the wins please. the guy knows how to win. Vick should be in the top ten. Andre Johnson on this list is a joke hell he didn't even win rookie of the year and coles is was the best pick up of the season in the nfl period

Part of the reason I like LT so much is that he does so well even though everyone in the stadium knows he's the team's only option. Who are their receivers now anyway?

i agree... at least the chargers got him out of the vick trade- this kid is definitely the top back in the L. i went to a chargers/vikes game at qualcomm last year (closest nfl team to LA hehehe) and the man can rack up the yards. i don't think he even has that great of a line to run behind, much less a quarterback to move linebackers back in pass coverage. At least LT has Lorenzo Neal paving the way. i don't even know who the receivers are now... boston is gone (not like he did much anyway). they've got a decent up and coming TE named Gates, but not much else.

btw- qualcomm stadium sucks! the parking situation is terrible!!! run-down stadium too... it was interesting observing another team's stadium where the fans are split between home and away supporters. the bolts don't have much of a home field advantage...

These ratings to me are crap.

Absolutely. I did not even look at the article, because everything Prisco writes is crap (to put it kindly). He is the most uninformed, least knowledgeable writer I know of.

And as a side note: If you play fantasy sports on CBS Sportsline, be sure NOT to use their ratings. You will lose. Play in their leagues, but ignore all of the info they continually dump in front of you. Get the info at a reliable info service, and you have a great shot at winning, because most of the league will be following the Sportsline (Prisco) advice. Been like that for 3 years now, and is not likely to change.

Where would you recommend getting fantasy info? I have tried www.profantasysports.com and they seem okay...but I haven't seen many other alternatives.

If anyone is curious, this is Pro Football Weekly's top 11:

1. Peyton Manning
2. Priest Holmes
3. Ray Lewis
4. Steve McNair
5. LaDanian Tomlinson
6. Marvin Harrison
7. Randy Moss
8. Jonathan Ogden
9. LaVar Arrington
10. Jamal Lewis
11. Clinton Portis

No other Redskins ranked in their top overall top 50. By position though:
Coles is #9 at WR
Randy Thomas is #3 at OG
Chris Samuels #8 and Jon Jansen #25 at OT
Michael Barrow #21 at ILB, Marcus Washington #20 at OLB
Shawn Springs #17 and Fred Smoot #23 at CB,

Manning was a monster in the playoffs, except for one game in a blizzard. People have off games sometimes, look at what Manning has done throughout his career, the consisteny, the yards, the completion %, how can you say he isnt the best? I see that Brady is a winner, and he is a good QB, but i dont see him as being the best

That seems more like it. Priest has scored almost 40+ tds in two seasons, just remarkable. I love the way Ray Lewis plays, I think LaVar has shown that he can be that kind of player.

Peyton has to be on top. The Patriots made everyone look bad last season, hence the SB title. But you have to admit that he looked scary good in his first two playoff wins.

finally some agreement

Sorry I just saw this post. I STRONGLY recommend the Football Guys.

www.footballguys.com (http://www.footballguys.com)

I have no affiliation with them. but they are by far the best I have seen over the years. They leave their picks for you to go back and evaluate (that is how confident they are). There is a massive amount of info there all during the season. Right now they are sending out free daily news emails. LOTS of articles - they just give you the highlights followed by their take on it's fantasy consequences. Check it out - all free right now. They even have indepth info on "individual defensive players" if your league uses them.

One very nice feature is during the season, they rate the players at each position based on everything imaginable for that week's contest. They are not perfect, but far better than anyone else's. Great for helping with lineup decisions. They update them several times during the week leading up to gameday.
