That's right it's me again the fantasy football wizard keeping with the keep it simple philosophy to win in your fantasy league. I'll be updating this list throughout the preseason, but want to get it going early and would love any local flavor comments!

Two thoughts this year:

1 - Wow I love The NFL Network - its like traveling to every local city to watch local coverage of every preseason game! and talk about a great resource for fantasyaholics (as Homer Simpson would say - I'm addicted to Fantasyahol!). It's also great for those over under and early week knock out pools - I already feel like I can sense the teams that will start poorly and the ones that will start hot - and it's only week 2 of the preseason! - awesome.

2 - Those of you who played fantasy football before the Internet (like I did), will recall the old book resource - man was it outdated by draft night, but it was all we had back then - yes there were not even any magazines back then - anyone remeber the name of the book/author - please comment below and let me know as it escapres me). Any way - I digress. I like the way the book would rank players in groups - so I will do that this year instead of just a stream of players...

Quartebacks

Top Tier (grab one if you can)

1 - Tom Brady

2 - Peyton Manning

3 - Tony Romo

4 - Drew Brees (side note here - I looked at the USA Today newspaper Fantasy Football giude yesterday and it has Brees like 8th highest QB - how can they think that?)

Analysis: Brady and Manning should be no-brainer, consistent picks and Romo and Brees are the keys to two high-powered offenses that should throw up a lot of points in 2008

Tier 2 (If you miss the above these guys will still help as the starters on tour team but there are a few question marks)

5 - Carson Palmer (Bengals on the decline?)

6 - Donovan McNabb (great if he can stay healthy?)

7 - Derek Anderson
