Ed Reed Fan:4 TD'S IN ONE GAME said 11/20, 04:24 PM
1. Adrian Peterson: we all knew he would probably be good but this good this soon ? no way.

2. Derek Anderson: i'm still not sold on him but he's producing well for a guy who was a backup and not even drafted in most leagues.

3. Steven Jackson: he went from sick last year to sick in a different way this year.

4. Lions Defense: ranked 2nd in fantasy points behind NE

5. Braylon Edwards: went from promising talent to straight ballin'

6. Ben Roethlisburger: went from tons of int's to tons of TD's

7. Marvin Harrison: a guy who's been producing for a long time just hit a wall w/ injuries, etc.

8. Brett Favre: went from on the way out to maybe hello superbowl ?

9. Frank Gore/Shaun Alexander/Laurence Maroney (tie): went from top 5 rb's to ranked in the 20's for fantasy RB points.

10. Wes Welker: ranked 6th in fantasy WR points. not bad for a 3rd wr/slot receiver huh ?

I agree w/ you about Anderson but Peterson, as a rookie, is outrunning LT, LJ plus all the other good elite rb's and he was supposed to be splitting time! This puts him at my #1 just in front of Anderson. I might move Favre up but not as much as you're saying. I understand your argument about Welker but in terms of fantasy surprises i was thinking in terms of the entire season so far and Welker came on a little late and was hot and cold for a while before heating up recently a few week ago vs. Dallas.

Like I said in hindsight I would probably move Favre up some but not above Roethlisburger because they usually have a control the clock, ground game going and don't throw unless they have too so his TD #'s compared to last year are really good. Also, the usually bad Lions D being # 2 in fantasy points for defenses behind NE ? That's a huge surprise, bigger than Favre. Also, mr. consistent, marvin harrisons huge drop off, w/ manning still at QB and that sick offense still in-tact is a major shock too. think of how high he always gets picked ! Braylon Edwards went from an average fantasy WR to the # 3 receiver in the blink of an eye. Steven Jackson went from arguably the lock # 2 pick to horrible #'s, and then of course AP. So, i might move Favre up maybe 1 spot or two, but that would be it, because he's still got great receivers, not much of a running game, and a great o-line and emerging TE's and plus we're talking about Brett Favre, future 1st ballot HOFer, like he was going to stay down for long ? Even at his age ? no way, he's ridiculous and that's why i'm not shocked that he's blown up this year but the other ones seem more of a surprise than Favre IMO.
