Fantasy Football 
I agree. I'm surprised that QBs such as McNair, Grossman, Rivers is lower than Vick. Heck, Vick needs to probably be around the vicinity of Eli Manning on that list.
I'm surprised too that you don't have Chad Johnson in the top 3. IMO, it should be something like 1. Chad Johnson, 2. Steve Smith, 3. Reggie Wayne.
I like your TE rankings.
I'm also surprised on ranking Miami 3rd...
I agree that he's not getting the job done on the field, but did manage over 250 total yards last week, which I had figured -- just didn't expect most of it to come on the ground.
I'm not a fan of his and I go out of my way not to own him. But the difference between him being junk and a servicable starting fantasy QB (8-12 average weekly rank) is minute right now. I just doesn't sound like it listening too the media and when you focus strongly on his faults.
It's just a guess, but since he plays TB next week, he will have a favorable placement then, too. But in Weeks 15 and 16 (Dallas and Carolina), I think he will be rated a lot lower.
Bottom line -- it's mainly the opponent.
Deshaun Foster vs Philly
Sammy Morris vs Jax
