After listening to grumblings of owners who were unhappy with my ranking of their team in my latest Keeper Power Rankings (cough, Blayne, cough) I decided to go after an unbiased and professional opinion. I contacted the ESPN.com Fantasy Answer Guys today (all it takes is an insider subscription) and here is their response:
Thanks for contacting The Answer Guys.
With QB TD's running at 6pts, that gives QBs an extra boost. Here's how I would rank the group, accounting for QB scoring and my eternal quest to have top notch RBs:
1st-Tom Brady, Steven Jackson, Marion Barber (Darren McFadden)
2nd-Drew Brees, Michael Turner, Reggie Wayne (JaMarcus Russel)
3rd-Kurt Warner, Brandon Jacobs, Calvin Johnson (Pierre Thomas)
4th-Tony Romo, Dengelo Williams, Chris Johnson (Anthony Gonzales)
5th-Adrian Peterson, Brian Westbrook, Anquan Boldin, (Steve Breaston)
6th-Peyton Manning, Matt Forte, Randy Moss (Devin Thomas)
7th-Aaron Rodgers, Thomas Jones, Andre Johnson (Jordy Nelson)
8th-Steve Slaton, Ronnie Brown, Larry Fitzgerald (Donnie Avery)
9th-Frank Gore, LaDanian Tomlinson, Greg Jennings (DeSean Jackson)
10th-Maurice Jones-Drew, Clinton Portis, Kevin Smith (Jonathan Stewart)
11th-Phillip Rivers, Marshawn Lynch, Steve Smith (Rashard Mendenhall)
12th-Matt Schaub, Ryan Grant, Marques Colston, (Fred Jackson)
Of course, this is a subjective ranking, to my own personal tastes onhow I'd want to build my team, and assuming that you don't have PPR as ascoring feature since you didn't say so.
