    1. JJ Watt
    2. Arian Foster (Most touchdowns in league. Peterson and Lynch are in the NFC. As of right now his only competition should be Jamal Charles and Ridley)
    3. Duane Brown - Finally gave up a sack, but still one of the best in the game. Somehow he didn't make it last year but the word has gotten out now that the Texans are playing better.
    4. Owen Daniels (Gronk will most likely get the first, he has a good chance of being the backup)
    5. Chris Meyers
    6. Quin - This usually goes to Polamalu but he's been injured this year.
    7. James Casey - Fans probably still remember Leach but Casey's fame is spreading
    8. Manning - Ed Reed isn't the same but still has name recognition with fans. Maning could make it as a reserve.
    9. Quin
    10. Joseph - That bad game vs GB in prime time might have cost him some votes.

    No AJ?:confused:

    His yardage is down but he could easily put a string of 100 yard games after a slow start

    So far it's..

    AJ Green
    Demaryius Thomas
    Reggie Wayne

    After that it's between AJ and a few folks.

    Completely agree on the rankings, except J Joseph... I think he will rebound and the chances will be better

    but as of right now he his chances of passing up Green, Wayne, Welker, and Decker/Thomas aren't that high.

    Seriously? Quinn, casey, myers on the list yet no Schaub?

    To me it seems fairly clear. Watt and Foster are locks. Joseph is near lock on reputation alone. Brown near lock since pro bowl for linemen tend to be late a year. Daniels should make it if he continues production. Schaubs odd depends on Texans record and Big Ben, but IMO at least coin flip. Same with Myers. No one else has a chance besides AJ having a huge second half

    Big Ben is playing better this year.

    The QBs will be Brady, Ben, and Peyton unless one of them starts to suck real bad or gets injured OR if the Texans don't make it to the SB and have Schaub as a replacement for one of these three that does.

    but voting does end for a over a month so he could easily get hot and get a lot of attention.

    I don't think Casey's chances are that high since Vonta Leach is still king when it comes to full backs.

    I think Foster and Watt are the only locks.

    Maybe Schaub makes it as an alternate and maybe Joseph & Johnson make it [based] on their rep. And an outside shot OD makes it.

    Schaub and dare I say Jackson could be alternates

    On stats sure, Big Ben has the edge. But I'm not sure how good the Steelers record will end up being. If they go 9-7 while the Texans go 14-2, I don't think the small edge in raw stats will be enough.

    Of course, Schaub probably will probably need to have a few nice performances on the big stage though. Starting with the Sunday nighter against the Bears.

    By the time the season is over, ben and schaub's numbers should be similar. What fantasy dorks don't understand or don't care for is the game planning of teams involved. No need to throw it 37 times a game and 5 yards away from the end zone when you have a running back. And the Steelers, well, they're getting back to their basics, attacking with a running game. I can see ben's attempts coming down to 31 . (what they've been since dwyer and redman have been beasting and their remaining 8 games are against teams that can't stop the run.)

    JJ, and Arian for sure...

    Everyone else is an outside shot...just based on half the season...Duane hasnt performed flawlessly...but is a candidate...imo...Antonio Smith may be able to sneak in...Quinn and JJ on the outside...Cushing if he was healthy...would have gotten in...

    It's too bad none of them will be playing in the actual game.
