Mock Me

I'm a girl, and I love sports. I love football, and I love fantasy football. Put a sports article, magazine, or blog in front of me, and I become completely captivated. I've been doing my research for the past few weeks, and have compiled my own personal rank list of fantasy players and teams. While I don't promote this list as foolproof, I did want to share it with the intent that it will spark conversation, and probably disagreement. Believe me, I'm not oblivious to preseason injury scares either. So, go ahead, argue with me, tell me what you think, or borrow it for your own fantasy draft. Here it goes...
