Top 5 NFL Teams
5) Buffalo Bills
Enjoy it Buffalo, your stay in the top 5 will be short because you suck.
4) Philadelphia Eagles
Cowboys put up 41 points on this defense?
3) Denver Broncos
Wow, their defense is horrid. How long can they win by parlaying the combo of luck and offensive firepower?
2) New York Giants
They played like garbage against the Bengals and still ended up with a victory. Having the ability to sleepwalk through a game and do enough to get the win is a sign of a good team.
1) Dallas Cowboys
Barring major injuries, expect the Cowboys to hold down this spot indefinitely.
Top 5 (If Season Ended Today) MVP Candidates
5) Eli Manning, New York Giants
Keeping this spot warm for his brother who is sure to get back to form soon.
4) Brandon Marshall, Denver Broncos
Playing a game less than his peers, Marshall ranks second in both receptions and yards this season. Helps to have Cutler delivering the ball, but he’s not simply the product of a good quarterback (e.g. Antonio Freeman).
3) Michael Turner, Atlanta Falcons
Racking up tons of touchdowns playing for the surprise Falcons.
2) Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
Do you think Romo would trade in his spot on America’s team for the chance to quarterback his native Packers at Lambeau Field? Neither do I. The prequel to Nick Collins thinks we’re better off without him.

1) Jay Cutler, Denver Broncos
At 3-0 he’s dia-BEAT everyone.
Top 5 Fantasy Performers This Week
5) Donovan McNabb vs. Bears
Another Donovan homecoming, we can expect good things. Bears are still great at forcing turnovers and containing the run, but their pass defense has been suspect and Donovan is off to a great start with shitty receivers.
4) MJD vs. Houston
Jags broke out of their mini-slump last week with both Taylor and Jones-Drew going over 100 yards. With Houston, who gave up millions of yards and TDs to Willie Parker, MJD's got a shot to post some numbers
3) Marshawn vs. Rams
I didn’t want to pick him two weeks in a row, but he’s playing the Rams, I couldn’t help it.
2) Fitz vs. Jets
It’s been all Boldin this year, and it’s time for Matty Fitz to remind people he’s the best receiver out there in AZ.
1) Reggie Bush vs. 49ers
He’s off to a great start but still has a long way to go to top his amazing fantasy campaign of 2007. He’s still not running it too well, but he’s got a kick return TD and is leading the NFL in receptions. They’re really using him this season, to the tune of 29 touches last weekend.
Top 5 Professional Athletes Who Could Play in the NFL
-CAVEAT: Because 70% of NBA guards could play either DB or WR in the NFL, I am only including players who have a known history of playing football.
5) Jeff Samardzija, WR
He’s the only player on this list that has actually proven it on the collegiate level while dominating at Notre Dame. Projected as a late first/early second round pick to play WR. What he lacked in breakaway speed he made up for in incredible ball skills and sticky hands (that sounds gay).
4) Frank Thomas, TE
Because no schools would offer him a baseball scholarship, the Big Hurt enrolled at Auburn with a scholarship to play tight end for the Tigers, quickly transitioning to baseball once on campus. The man was a great athlete and an absolute beast. He’s the only player in the last 20 years that I’m 100% confident never touched steroids. We all know what a monster Frank is, but can you imagine Frank on ‘roids? I’m picturing Shaq meets the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man.
3) Allen Iverson, DB
He is a Virginia HS Football legend; a dangerous QB, an intimidating safety, and an electric kick returner. People who watched Iverson play quarterback in HS claimed he played the position just as well as fellow Virginian Michael Vick. Iverson did not project as an NFL QB, but he would have been a helluva cornerback…in fact, Allen owns the Virginia state high school record for interceptions in a single game with seven. You think they’d stop throwing it his way after about five.
2) Glen “Big Baby” Davis, OT
A 6’8, 350 pound high school running back, that’s unfair. Although he had amazing athleticism for a man that size, the success rate for 300+ pound running backs is pretty poor, except for Refrigerator Perry. However, the success rate for an offensive tackle with that size and athletic ability is 100%.
1) LeBron James, WR
Asked years ago by Craig Sager “Do you still miss football?”, LeBron replied “Every day”. If for some reason LeBron decided, after playing HS football for only one season, to enter the NFL teams would be lining up to throw millions at him. He may be a bit tall for a WR, but this is LeBron fucking James, he’ll be just fine. At 6’8” and 250 pounds he’s got 3 inches and 15 pounds on Calvin Johnson, and I’m not so sure I’d bet on Calvin to win a foot race. Compared to LeBron, Calvin is more Bumblebee than Megatron. Transformers humor, YES!

What about Charlie Ward?? He did win the heisman at FSU...
Yea, but we all know Charlie Ward would have been an unprecendented NFL failure.
I did leave off former MLB flame thrower Larry Luebbers who could have played LB
I know we're all thinking the same thing..."Reggie Bush" and "top fantasy performer" in the same segment? I suppose the final step of depression is, in fact, acceptance.
Also, I hate to bring up the name Philip Rivers because of our unanimous hatred for him, but it's tough to deny that he deserves to be on any list for MVP, if not atop it, after the first three weeks.
Also, that AI stat is amazing.
I was certainly considering Phil, but he's playing for a loser (1-2, although some of those games could have gone the other way) and guys on bad teams never win. Chargers will turn it around and if he keeps this up he'll be on the list for sure.
No love for D-Ro?
