Before we get to far ahead of ourselves and start looking deep into the 2011 fantasy season with fingers crossed, we’re going to take a moment to recognized those players that made the 2010 well worth watching and playing fantasy. If we are going to look back at anything, there’s no better place to start than at the top; the 2010 top fantasy studs.
Every year fantasy owners do their homework to determine the best of the best before their respective drafts; these were the fantasy studs found in the early rounds (1-6) of most fantasy drafts that out-performed their expectations for 2010.

The 2010 Fantasy Studs
Roddy White, WR-Atlanta Falcons
Heading the list of studs from last season has to be the Falcons wide receiver Roddy White. A top fantasy prospect for 2010, the Falcons receiver posted career numbers with 115 receptions and yards, making him a favorite in traditional leagues as well as PPR. White also added another 10 receiving touchdowns following his career high 11 in 2009.
Calvin Johnson, WR-Detroit Lions
Megatron makes our list with a bounce back 2010 season after a 2009 campaign that was derailed with injuries and double/triple teams. Last season Johnson caught 77 passes for 1,120 yards and his 12 touchdowns ranked 2nd among the leaders making him a fantasy favorite.
Tom Brady, QB-New England Patriots
The Patriots signal caller is always a terrific fantasy bet, but after a 2009 season that saw a slight dip in production, few fantasy owners could expect the season Brady delivered in 2010 especially with the loss of his best weapon (Randy Moss). Brady still led the league with 36 touchdown passes and added 3,900 yards passing to the delight of many fantasy owners.
Philip Rivers, QB-San Diego Chargers
The Chargers field general was already a projected top 5 fantasy quarterback by most heading into 2010, but with a strong performance in 2010 he performed near best. Rivers had one of his best seasons as a pro in 2010 passing for 4,710 yards (a career high) and tossing 30 touchdowns. His strong play last season certified him place among the elite class and will put his name at the top of several fantasy draft lists in 2011.
