Little known facts


The top Fantasy Players for each position are listed below:
You may be surprised by what you read.

The top QBs are:
Rivers at 22 points per game
Brees at 21 points per game
Rodgers at 21 points per game
Nothing surprising about that.

However...

The top WR are actually Anquan Boldin (17 points per game) and Steve Smith (14 points per game). Santana Moss (Yahoo #1) is only averaging 12 points per game and Roddy White (Yahoo #2) is averaging 13 points per game.

The top RBs are listed as Portis (16.5 points) and Barber (15 points per game). But, did you know that Brian Westbrook is averaging 19 points per game and Reggie Bush is averaging 18 points per game?

Do we care about TEs?
Gates and Witten have a commanding lead.
Witten has 9 points per game
Gates has 8 points per game

Kickers, really? If you are still reading and care about this, you are retarded:
But, just in case, here goes:
Yahoo has Nedney and Kasay as #1 and #2 with 9 points per game each.
In fact, it is Carney (10.5 points per game) at #1 and Elam (10 points per) at #2.

DEF?
Chicago, Tennessee, and Yahoo's #1, Tampa Bay (not the Rays).
CHI (13 pts. per)
Tenn (12 pts. per)
TB (11pts. per)

So, with all this nonsense, let's take the top 2 players in each category and see who has the most of these players and if it stacks up against the league rankings.

QB
Rivers - BOHICA
Brees/Rodgers (tied) - Tarheel/Crazy
TE
Witten - BOHICA
Gates - Tarheel
WR
Boldin - formerly with El Conquistador
S. Smith - BOHICA
RB
Westbrook - Tarheel
Bush - BOHICA
K
Carney - BOHICA
Elam - Tarheel
DEF
Chicago - Bluegrass
Tennesse - Bluegrass
(nice job, Blue. That is absolutely worthless)


BOHICA - 5
Tarheel - 4
Bluegrass - 2 (not sure if having 2 defenses in the top 2 really helps you much)
Crazy - 1
El Conquistador - 1

Nothing Surprising here (sorry Steve, I know you are trying to attain the level of Tarheel and BOHICA)!
