    Aaron Rodgers

    Rodgers continues to be one of the best in the business. With Davante Adams coming into his own last year, and the team bringing in a great tight end in Martellus Bennett, Rodgers has an embarrassment of riches to throw the ball to. I think the Packers will struggle to run again in 2017, which puts the burden on Rodgers to throw a lot which means gobs of fantasy points and touchdowns.

    Tom Brady

    I don't know that this even needs an explanation, but here goes. He's Tom Freaking Brady! He doesn't age, he rarely gets hurt, hell he rarely gets touched and he whines when he does anyway so he isn't touched twice. He may have lost Julian Edelman for the year, but don't worry, the Pats will find guys to step up to take his place. Look for 35-40 touchdowns without breaking a sweat.

    Drew Brees

    Drew Brees

    The knock on Brees is that he isn't the same QB when he is not at home. However, last year he still did throw 17 touchdowns in his eight road games, and 20 touchdowns in his eight home games, so you tell me how much of a huge difference it is. The guy is still one of the best. He has nine straight 30 touchdown seasons, and even with losing Brandin Cooks he is a lock to make it ten straight.

    Ben Roethlisberger

    Ben Roethlisberger

    You can't love his weapons without liking Ben. Antonio Brown is the consensus number one receiver. His running back, Le'Veon Bell, is known as a guy who can catch 70 passes. Everyone is in love with Martavis Bryant. They traded for tight end Vance McDonald. Eli Rogers is still there and JuJu Schuster-Smith was drafted in Round 2. If healthy, Ben will throw 30-34 TDs with 4,000 yards.

    David Johnson

    David Johnson

    With Carson Palmer not being the same quarterback anymore, Johnson basically became the Cardinals offense.Whether it be on the ground, or his 80 pass receptions, the guy is just a beast.He is big enough to take the hits of carrying the ball 20+ times a game, but is still fast and tough to take down.If he isn't the top scoring RB this year I will be surprised. He's my #1 overall pick in all formats

    Le'Veon Bell
    #2

    Le'Veon Bell

    There are drug suspension concerns with Bell. There are also injury concerns with him. But damn it he is so good that he is still a top three or four pick in any draft. He is an incredibly patient runner who hits the hole with a vengeance. He is also one of the best pass catching backs in the NFL so he is PPR gold. There's a little risk with Bell, but his production makes it worth the risk.

    LeSean McCoy
    #3

    LeSean McCoy

    I feel like in my head that McCoy has a much longer injury history, and he is much older. However, he's only 29 and has only missed 11 games in his eight year career. Something about him scares me. However, he is a very agile runner, is a great receiver out of the backfield, and he is on a run first offense. McCoy is a no brainer for 1,000 yards with 8+ touchdowns and 50 catches.

    Melvin Gordon

    Melvin Gordon

    Just so you know, I love Melvin Gordon. I have started to dream about him. After a disaster rookie season, Gordon broke out in a big way with just under 1000 yards and ten touchdowns. Many worry about Gordon's yards per carry, but the kid is just getting going. The Chargers improved their offensive line and I'm expecting and even better 2017 from Gordon with 1,200 yards and ten scores.

    Antonio Brown
    #1

    Antonio Brown

    Here's all you need to know about Antonio Brown. His 2016 season of 106 catches for 1,284 yards was his worst season in the last four years. However, his 12 touchdown catches were more than enough to ease the pain. He's great, the only small concern with him is if Big Ben goes down the quarterback play drops dramatically. Brown should be the top receiver drafted in all formats.

    Mike Evans
    #2

    Mike Evans

    Evans will just turn 24 before the season starts, and he was an absolute animal last year. He's big, he's strong, and he can catch almost anything. He is a great target in the red zone, and his quarterback loves to look for him. With the additions of DeSean Jackson and rookie O.J. Howard, defenses will not be able to blanket Evans as much this year and he could get even better! Love him!

    Odell Beckham, Jr

    Odell Beckham, Jr

    I used this picture on purpose to show what an asshole he is on and off the field. I can't argue with his talent, but I can argue that his emotions get the best of him. However, he is nearly a lock for 90 catches and ten touchdowns, and there's not a lot of those guys out there. He won't be on my teams because I hate him, but he's still a first round pick in fantasy drafts in any format.

    Julio Jones

    Julio Jones

    Jones is certainly one of the best receivers in football, but he falls just below the top guys for me because of the touchdowns He has missed a couple of games in most of his NFL career, and he only has 10 touchdowns once in his six years. Fantasy football is all about the touchdowns baby! There's no doubt that Jones is a WR1, but to me he isn't a top two or three guy because of the lack of scores

    Rob Gronkowski

    Rob Gronkowski

    After a couple of seasons of good health, Gronk's back cost him half of 2016. And honestly, he wasn't a huge factor in a lot of the games he played in. Does this mean to stay away from him? HELL NO!!! It means I wouldn't make him a first round pick. Or a second round pick.If you can get him in the third, that would work. He is my personal hero and if I had to be anyone for a day it would be Gronk!

    Travis Kelce
    #2

    Travis Kelce

    Kelce is very talented and put up a great streak of five of six games with over 100 yards receiving, but to me he is a little to boom or bust for me to put him second. He had as many games (seven) over 100 yards receiving as he did (seven) under 50 yards receiving. He is tough for a linebacker to cover and a load to tackle, and all of this together make him number two in my book.

    Greg Olsen
    #3

    Greg Olsen

    He didn't have a lot of touchdowns last season, but the Panthers struggled offensively all year, a pattern I don't expect to be repeated. Olsen is perhaps the most consistent tight end in football and has had at least 77 catches and over 1,000 yards in three straight years. I see a continuation of that and a nice bump in touchdown catches to make him the third tight end off the board in drafts.

    Zack Ertz
    #4

    Zack Ertz

    Ertz has to deal with fellow tight end Brent Celek taking some of his targets, and now Philly brought in Torrey Smith and Alshon Jeffery. No matter, he is still by far the most talented tight end on the team.His reception total has increased every year in the NFL, and with a good quarterback that could continue. He needs to start scoring more touchdowns, but he's a solid fantasy starting tight end
