Bettis probably won't be winning his league this year.

whos better than those 5?

I wish these guys would do some analysis that the rest of us could really use. We might disagreee with his order, but these seem to be the concensus top 5. How about giving use 10 thru 20? That would be useful.

Not sure what you guys expect from the "celebrities". These guys are novices at fantasy football.

I was absolutely stunned to NOT see FWP on his list. If he is going to produce such a whack list he could at least pay homage to the homeboys.

 

[Chaos Commish]

That list isn't whack. Those are the top five, imo. I even like Alexander before Gore and LJ (but not Jackson).

 

[heidbrink]

ok right not "whack" but surprised by the order but more importantly WHERE IS FWP? i was waiting for him to have him at 1 or 2. Just saying...where is your homerism, big guy?

 

[PantherPower]

while i might not rank them in that order, hard to argue with those 5. And most "celebrities" picks are like 100x worse than that.

He addressed that. He likes big backs. How's that for insightful analysis?

So you are criticizing a guy for NOT being a homer? :(

 

[The Jerk]

The only picks that aren't consensus are Alexander and Jackson. If he thinks Alexander is going to rebound in a big way -- and he literally does know what that takes -- then it certainly validates the selection. You don't need to defend the 2005 MVP being chosen as the #2 RB too strongly.

Most of us would have Jackson above LJ, but just last year LJ outperformed Jackson (barely) in a year that was lesser than his 2005. So again, it's not outlandish to place LJ 3rd. Bettis must be assuming LJ does not hold out (duh!).

So now it comes down to Gore over Jackson. I don't see that one rating as enough to suggest he has no clue about fantasy football.

 

[dickey moe]

I've seen worse. The only thing odd there is Alexander at #2. He got LT right, and you can make a case that the rest of those should be in the top 5.

 

[Gottabesweet]

They just needed time to fill.

I bet next week will be QB's

What if Bettis had the 1.01 and came back with Harrison/Wayne & Manning at the 2.12/3.01 turn? Nice start to his team

 

[stevegamer]

I don't think he put them in order on the show. For someone to think that's out there, is actually pretty out there.

LT, LJ, SJ are really not debatebale, I think they are in most people's top 5.

Gore & SA are shakier, but I don't think I've seen too many people project them non top-10.

Totally.

 

[faulkfan]

I prefer not to put too much stock in celebrity rankings so when Bettis gave his order I took it for what it was...filler.

I believe that Costas mentioned FWP in his list later and Jerome said that he likes "big guys." I am assuming he meant on his FF team not as a life partner.
