Regular Season Player Rankings (51-100)

51 Keyshawn Johnson – WR, TB
Highly skilled receiver should be able to boost his numbers this season.

52 James Stewart – RB, DET
No matter which QB will start, Stewart will have to take the pressure off him.

53 Darrell Jackson – WR, SEA
His numbers should improve, making him a threat week in and week out.

54 Warrick Dunn – RB, ATL
Will he be the feature back? Duckett will get some carries, once again preventing Dunn from reaching premier fantasy status.

55 Kordell Stewart – QB, PIT
Slash returned to form last season and will work some more of his magic this year in connecting with his young receivers.

56 Marcus Pollard – TE, IND
Lack of depth at WR in Indy makes him a favorite target for Manning.

57 Amani Toomer – WR, NYG
A giant target on the field, he’ll improve his connections with Collins.

58 Derrick Alexander – WR, MIN
Change of scenery will be a blessing for both Culpepper and Alexander. Numbers close to those of 2000 are not out of reach.

59 Kevin Johnson – WR, CLE
The Browns’ top receiver is a good #2 fantasy wideout and should reproduce last year’s numbers.

60 Fred Taylor – RB, JAC
His potential is too high for a pick this late, but let someone else spend an earlier pick on this always-injured rusher.

61 Emmitt Smith – RB, DAL
Smith is here to stay in the top 100 as long as he decides to play the game.

62 Chris Weinke – QB, CAR
Not a youngster anymore, but still only in his second season, he should be a solid starter on any squad.

63 William Green – RB, CLE
Given enough time, we might see this rookie rank up there with Ahman. That’s still a few seasons away, however.

64 Wesley Walls – TE, CAR
A top TE when healthy, but drafting a backup is advised.

65 Tyrone Wheatley – RB, OAK
Garner is #1 on the depth charts, but Wheatley will get his share of the carries and will make the most of it.

66 Mark Brunell – QB, JAC
Not a fantasy delight but he slips in drafts often enough to make him a cheap but capable option.

67 Dominic Rhodes – RB, IND
Given Edge’s recent ACL injury, here’s the first backup RB we advise taking.

68 Lamar Smith – RB, CAR
DeShaun Foster might be the starter a few weeks into the season, but Smith is a good selection as a third back.

69 Laveranues Coles – WR, NYJ
Big-play threat shouldn’t be counted on for weekly production but in deep leagues he is definitely worth starting.

70 Bill Schroeder – WR, GB
Being a WR in Green Bay means you get throws from Favre, making just about any receiver look good.

71 Shannon Sharpe – TE, DEN
A Bronco again, he should feel comfy in the offense and will get many balls thrown his way as the receiving corps has some question marks surrounding it.

72 Trent Green – QB, KC
Many guys look at Green as a starter but he won’t take you to a championship level.

73 David Sloan – TE, NO
Solid TE is a definite starter.

74 Bubba Franks – TE, GB
Catches TD balls and nothing else, but Favre loves to throw those, doesn’t he?

75 Jamal Lewis – RB, BAL
Make sure you grab his backup just in case…

76 Jay Riemersma – TE, BUF
Bledsoe will look for his TE often enough to make him worth starting.

77 Antowain Smith – RB, NE
A ring doesn’t improve his fantasy value, but he’s a good third RB or even #2 in deeper leagues.

78 Marty Booker – WR, CHI
Clearly the #1 receiver in Chicago, Robinson and Terrell should help spread the field and Booker will use that advantage as posession receiver.

79 Tim Couch – QB, CLE
Could finally live up to his potential.

80 Muhsin Muhammad – WR, CAR
Muhammad depends on Weinke’s improvement and his health situation making him a risky pick.

81 Mike Alstott – RB, TB
Pittman is no sure thing, and Alstott will get quite a few scoring opportunities.

82 Jason Elam – K, DEN
Kickers produce a lot of fantasy points, and while there are many good choices, Elam is clearly one of the best.

83 Rams – DEF, STL
Rebuilt special teams and good defense will make this squad very dangerous fantasy-wise.

84 Todd Heap – TE, BAL
Might get picked very early as everyone is high on him, but don’t pick him too high!

85 Derrick Mason – WR, TEN
Underrated receiver could be a steal but not a top fantasy receiver.

86 Olindo Mare – K, MIA
Ricky Williams might provide Miami with a rushing game but more PATs and less FGs won’t hurt Mare much.

87 Ed McCaffrey – WR, DEN
May take some weeks to fully get back to game-speed but don’t forget he was a top ten receiver before!

88 Dolphins – DEF, MIA
Fantasy defenses are very unpredictable but the Dolphins squad should be one of the best this season.

89 Jay Fiedler – QB, MIA
New-look offense could help Fiedler and he’s worth starting when he has a good matchup.

90 Jeremy Shockey – TE, NYG
He showed big-play ability, but is still going to struggle at times.

91 Chad Lewis – TE, PHI
He’s a solid TE and will start on some squad so why not on yours?

92 Joey Galloway – WR, DAL
Dallas’ offense is a fantasy threat but not to opposing owners. Still, Galloway is capable of producing enough to be drafted.

93 Jeff Wilkins – K, STL
The Rams proved they can play without a place kicker but they’ll still provide Wilkins with a lot of scoring opportunities.

94 Rod Gardner – WR, WAS
Whoever will throw the ball for Washington will have to throw to Gardner…

95 Brian Finneran – WR, ATL
If you’re in a keeper-league and own Vick, why not pick Finneran for a top QB-WR combo for many years to come?

96 Frank Wycheck – TE, TEN
Reliable is the word for Wycheck. You could do a lot worse…

97 James Thrash – WR, PHI
McNabb runs a lot, but sometimes he has to throw and who else in Philly should catch the ball?

98 Plaxico Burress – WR, PIT
Should improve further and be Stewart’s best receiver, both for short-yardage as big-play situations.

99 Byron Chamberlain – TE, MIN
Will Minnesota’s offense rebound? If yes, Chamberlain could be a bargain if you pick him that late.

100 Chris Chambers – WR, MIA
Miami’s new deep threat will benefit from Williams and vice versa.
