Big Ben leads all fantasy scorers in the 2008-09 season

Well, at least he does in a recent Madden 09 simulated season, which ranked the following players as leading the league in fantasy points for the upcoming season:

25. Reggie Wayne, WR, IND
24. Willis McGahee, RB, BAL
23. Thomas Jones, RB, NYJ
22. Chad Johnson, WR, CIN
21. Jamal Lewis, RB, CLE
20. Adrian Peterson, RB, MIN
19. Torry Holt, WR, STL
18. Brandon Jacobs, RB, NYG
17. Frank Gore, RB, SF
16. Matt Hasselbeck, QB, SEA
15. Tarvaris Jackson, QB, MIN
14. Vince Young, QB, TEN
13. Hines Ward, WR, PIT
12. Marion Barber, RB, DAL
11. Tatum Bell, RB, DET
10. Ronnie Brown, RB, MIA
9. Donovan McNabb, QB, PHI
8. Tom Brady, QB, NE
7. Jeff Garcia, QB, TB
6. Jay Cutler, QB, DEN
5. Alex Smith, QB, SF
4. Marc Bulger, QB, STL
3. Peyton Manning, QB, IND
2. LaDainian Tomlinson, RB, SD

1. Ben Roethlisberger, QB, PIT

So there you have it, feel free to draft your fantasy team accordingly (note: sarcasm). Can you really take any top fantasy player list that has the names Tatum Bell and Tarvaris Jackson on them seriously? I can't. But it's still fun.

What NOT to use when drafting your fantasy team?

#2. Brandon, 5 months ago

If you're in one of my leagues, feel free to use this list! I recommend that all of my opponents use high draft picks on Alex Smith and Tatum Bell!

Wow. Maybe I should pick up a copy of the new Madden. I had no idea they left out the realism engine this time around.

Hines Ward is the new Randy Moss. Ha.

How's the old saying go..."On any given Sunday anything can happen"? I guess they took that to an extreme with this version of Madden.

Playoff leagues: Keeping the fantasy football season alive to the bitter end:
- frank m: I'm playing at ESPN. I'm also doing weekly tournaments at www.papersports.com.
- ffexchange: I've done my own for a while where we set a lineup each week and you can play anyone, but can only play them once. One third fantasy, one third survivor style pool, and one third guessing the games. Its not the same as the real thing, but going cold turkey isn't easy.
2008 Fantasy Football Playoffs MVPs:
- Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @e-roc: Just to update the situation, it looks like the PT Cruiser may have a flat tire (i.e. he's questionable with various injuries) and does not seem to be a good play this weekend. Go with Steve Slaton and hope he can find the endzone.
- Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @e-roc: Sorry for the delay, but was busy with Christmas. Hope yours is going well too. Anyways, in terms of your questions there...I'd go with Thigpen and Pierre Thomas. It looks like Boldin will be questionable for this weekend, so I'd keep him out of your lineup just in case. If Hixon and Ginn are...
- e-roc: @Brandon - Go figure I'm in the office and reading blogs... Anyway, I have both Manning & Wayne so my conundrum is this: QB - Thigpen @ Cin or Garcia v. Oak? RB - PT Cruiser v. CAR , Slaton v. CHI or McClain v. Jax? WR - Do you know if Boldin...
- Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @e-roc: I'm not generally in favor of starting players on teams that are playing for nothing and it seems that Indy is one of the worst culprits of this (maybe because they are always in the playoffs?) If you have someone like Peyton Manning, you may try to find a suitable replacement, as he'll probably...
- e-roc: @Brandon - somehow I managed to own just two of the names above and still came away with the wins down the stretch. Any thoughts/recommendations on teams like Indy who will probably be sitting starters in Week 17?
Quick Hits (and Misses): Colts @ Jaguars:
- Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @JT: Yeah DeAngelo Williams went off huh?! I'm not sure what either the Texans or Jets were trying to do on Sunday, but it just wasn't working for them. The Patriots almost pitched the shutout, but that garbage time touchdown probably took a few points from you. See you next season!
