This is a computerized ranking system created by Charles Budd and Steve Maluk (known in the Forums as Buckychudd and Wesley Walker). Factors taken into account include past performance of players and opposing defenses. Players listed as “out” or “doubtful” are not included.
Point projections are based on the following scoring system: 1 point per 25 yards passing or 10 yards rushing/receiving; 6 points per TD; -1 per fumble; -2 per interception thrown.
QUARTERBACK
Just like everyone thought, it’s the trio of McNabb, Manning and Culpepper who are way out in front. But it’s Donovan who’s got the best fantasy matchup this week – Peyton and Daunte each face relatively stiff defensive squads and tough divisional battles.

RUNNING BACK
Corey Dillon has been a yardage monster this season. If Cleveland gives up half as many points as they did last week, Dillon and the Pats should be good fantasy bets. Michael Pittman has quietly been producing – but the Falcons defense will test the Buccaneers’ ground game.

WIDE RECEIVER
It’s all the usual suspects at the top, with one newcomer to the ranks of the elite fantasy receivers: Mushin Muhammad. While Steve Smith spends the season healing and Keary Colbert develops into a veteran, it’s Muhammad who’s proven to be Jake Delhomme’s favorite, most consistent target.

TIGHT END
Alge Crumpler, newly signed to a six-year contract extension, has been a huge asset to the Falcons offense. Fantasy owners will feel the same way about him. Right now, Crumpler is hot. And so is Antonio Gates.
