RB- LT, AP, Brian Westbrook
WR- Randy Moss, T.O., Reggie Wayne
TE- Jason Witten, Kellen Winslow
K- Nick Folk
Defense- SD, Minnesota

QB- Why I took Romo over Peyton?

-Injury problems. Romo's coming into this season motivated as ever, with as good of talent as he's had, and he's fully healthy. Peyton's coming off surgery, and is questionable for week 1. While always reliable, every reliable player falls.

-Romo's rise. Romo is rising as the #2 QB. He's got talent around him, and is more of a scrambler than Manning.

RB- No surprise. To all those who think AP drops out of the top 3- DON'T BUY IT! DON'T BUY IT! DON'T BUY IT! Is he ahead of Westbrook? Debateable. But the guy can win you weeks alone, and lead your team to the playoffs. Up and comer. Taylor is there just for a change of pace- Childress will not allow the most explosive player in the NFL losing carries to Chestor Taylor.

WR- Wayne over Edwards.

I like Edwards, but I see some flaws this year.

- Difficult schedule. They play the AFC South and NFC East- divisions with impressive secondaries.
- More options on offense. It isn't just him. While Wayne isn't alone either- Winslow, Stallworth, Jurevicous, Lewis are more than Addai, Clark, an aging Harrison, and Gonzlalez.
- Anderson or Quinn? While even if Anderson produces or struggles- Quinn may see action if things don't go the Browns way. He's the future QB, and I think you may see him getting some snaps.

TE- NO GATES????

Look- his injury is a MAJOR question. I know he still produces as the best- but he admitted he's not fully healthy and feels a lot different from previous seasons. Witten is a safe pick, and Winslow is an up and comer who has a shot at 1,000 yards.

K- Folk over Crosby, and more. Dallas scores more. Folk gets a lot more FG attempts over Crosby whose #s may take a dip due to Rodgers at QB.

Defense- These are the top 2. SD even without Merriman racks up sacks, INTs, and TDs (thank you Antonio Cromartie). Minnesota- Jared Allen improves their sacks per game. A team that led the NFL in defensive TDs.
