Now that some of us are eliminated from the playoffs (thanks, Drew Brees); I was hoping to see some VERY early ideas for top-10 at each position next year. My main league's end of the year party is usually good for a trade or two (once the beer starts flowing, people want to make some last moves before the off-season). Here's my lists, off the top of my head. ETA-my list is for a standard-scoring, non-PPR league.
RB:
Charles-fewest questions, longest track record of excellence, IMO
Murray-back in Dallas? I think so; high touches this year is somewhat concerning
Bell-Youngest of the top-3; if he's given more opps at the GL, TDs could go up even more
Forte-What will happen in Chicago? Trestman staying/leaving will have an impact on Forte, IMO
McCoy-Tends to have big years, every other year, with regards to TDs. Maybe not fully healthy this season?
Lacy-Assuming GB gets him more touches; on pace to have less than 300 this year.
Foster-Age & health have him this low; when healthy, he's definitely a top RB
CJ Anderson-I think he will get the lion's share of the touches in Denver; assuming Peyton sticks around, that should make him a top-10 RB
ADP-Unsure where he will play, but I can't see a healthy ADP as outside the top-10
Lynch-Unsure about his back/status in Seattle; seems like he's on his way out there; if he were returning to the Seahawks, I'd probably have him a few spots higher
WR:
Brown
D Thomas (assuming Peyton is still around)
Hilton
Nelson
Julio Jones
Calvin Johnson
**This first six is almost interchangeable, IMO, although this is the order I'd rank them in, if I had to**
Gordon
Beckham
Dez Bryant
AJ Green
Evans
***There are AT LEAST a half dozen WRs I could see jumping into the top-10 next year; it looks to be fairly deep***
QB:
Luck
Rodgers
Wilson (if Lynch leaves, I think he'll get even more chances to throw; coupled with his running numbers, that will make him a top QB, IMO)
P Manning
Brees
Newton
Roethlisberger
Brady
Romo
Ryan
