In review, I've written some other articles about Fantasy Football Picks. Those can be found at:

http://everynightfootball.blogspot.com/2010/08/top-10-fantasy-football-running-backs.html
This particular article is about Fantasy Football Quarterbacks. Previously, I've said that my top 5 are:
1. Drew Brees
2. Tony Romo
3. Peyton Manning
4. Aaron Rodgers
5. Matt Schaub
NFL.com differs slightly from me in the Top 5 in that Schaub is #6 and Tom Brady is in their top 5. NFL.com's top 20 Fantasy quarterbacks can be found at http://www.nfl.com/fantasy/rankings/qb.
They also have Cutler (CHI) at 9 and Kolb (PHI) at 10. I don't think so, but we'll see. I think I would put Matt Ryan (ATL) and Joe Flacco (BAL) ahead of those guys. Phillip Rivers was a good choice for the Top 10 with over 4,000 passing yards in each of his last 2 years and an average of 31 TD passes per year during that time.
So, with all of that said, here are my QB picks 6 thru 10.
6. Phillip Rivers (SD)
7. Tom Brady (NE)
8. Joe Flacco (BAL)
9. Matt Ryan (ATL)
10.Brett Favre (MIN)

Fantasy Football - Top 20 Wide Receivers
I compared NFL.com and ESPN.com to my Top 20 WR picks. Here are the results.
My picks are somewhat based on last year's production by each player, but I also took into consideration each team's quarterback, running backs, and other wide receivers. If I thought a particular team was likely to run the ball very successfully, then I might not have rated the wide receiver as high for fantasy purposes. Similarly, if a team had more than 1 top-level wide receiver, I might have rated the fantasy player on my list differently as a result. Lots of factors go into rating players for fantasy football. I won't go into all of them here. At least, you have 3 lists to choose from if you want to use this for your fantasy draft.

Top 10 Fantasy Football Running Backs
It's time to make your fantasy football picks. I think the running back position is the most important position in Fantasy Football. Previously, I've posted what I consider to be the top 5 at each position in fantasy football. To finish out the list of running backs, these are who I consider to be the Top 10 Fantasy Football Running Backs.
1. Chris Johnson
2. Adrian Peterson
3. Maurice Jones-Drew
4. Michael Turner
5. Ray Rice
6. Frank Gore
7. Rashard Mendenhall
8. Cedric Benson
9. LaDainianTomlinson
10.Ryan Grant
As a Cowboys fan, I want to put Marion Barber on this list, but he's on a team that is very strong and deep in running backs. If he didn't have to split time with 2 other guys, he would definitely be on this list. Felix Jones might have made the list too, but on top of being in the mix with 3 running backs, he needs to prove that he can stay healthy for an entire season before he can make my Top 10 List.

Dallas Cowboys 2010 Season Prediction
I just reviewed the Dallas Cowboys 2010 regular season schedule and I think the best they could do is 14-2. The worst they could do is 11-5. The NFC East is going to be a relatively weak conference with the Giants being the only serious competition this year. Their complete regular season schedule is listed below.
@ WAS
CHI
@ HOU
BYE
TEN
@ MIN
NYG
JAX
@ GB
@ NYG
DET
NO
@ IND
PHI
WAS
@ ARI
@ PHI
The most likely losses would be to Green Bay and New Orleans. Other possible losses could be to Tennessee, Indianapolis, and the Giants (@ NYG). Green Bay will have a strong passing attack and it's at Lambeau Field. New Orleans will have the momentum of just winning the Super Bowl, and as long as Brees is healthy, they'll be tough. Tennessee has the best running back in football and Vince Young could be dangerous and unpredictable. Indianapolis has a genius quarterback that could beat any team on any given Sunday. Going to New York to play the Giants is always tough. I think the Cowboys can win there, but if a loss is going to come, it could just be at New York.
What do you think about my prediction? If you're a Redskins or Eagles fan, I'm sure you wrongly disagree. So, aside from those guys, if you have a different opinion, leave a comment.

NFL Teams That Nobody Likes
This one's easy. Here are the teams that NOBODY likes.
1. Washington Redskins
2. Philadelphia Eagles
3. New York Giants
My 9-year old son calls these (very unaffectionately):
1. The dead skins
2. The dirty little birdies
3. The dirty little midgets
When I ask him, "Who likes the Redskins?" His answer is quickly, "NOBODY!" That's just how it is.
Of course I taught it to him like that, but he seems to like it quite a bit.
GO COWBOYS!
