2011 Fantasy Football Players
Not a lot has changed recently with the league and player’s union talks, but we are always ever so hopeful they will find a resolution and we will have football. Always moving right along with the idea that there will be football in the fall, I begin my player-by-player look at the more notable fantasy studs that we should be near the top of all fantasy football drafts lists this summer.
Just like most NFL teams, a championship usually (but not always) starts with the quarterback and that’s exactly where we will start ….
Fantasy Quarterbacks…..

Fantasy Quarterbacks…..
Tom Brady (Patriots)
The Patriots quarterback has been one of the most successful on the gridiron since his meteoric rise in the 2001 season. Brady has captured three Super Bowl titles (twice voted the game MVP) and twice has won the AP NFL MVP award. He is a fantasy favorite having thrown for 4,000 yards three times in his last five full seasons and 28 or more touchdowns five times in his last eight (full) seasons.
Brady is coming off another fantastic season passing for 3,900 yards and tossing 36 touchdowns without a marquee receiver. The Patriots are very young at the receiver spot with two young tight ends and a couple of youthful wide outs, but with the savvy Brady under center he is still capable of playing big. 2011 should have a similar look as last season for the Patriots offense and there’s no reason to believe that Brady can’t engineer the same type of success or better.
Brady (299 fantasy points) finished his 2010 campaign as the third highest scoring fantasy quarterback (based on traditional scoring) behind Aaron Rodgers and Michael Vick. This summer Tom Brady once again remains a top five fantasy quarterback amongst the likes of Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Philip Rivers.
