(Insert name here) is the most likely candidate to finish number 1 at their position but is being taken outside of the top 5 of their position.

My vote: Julio Jones

Top 5 list

RB: foster,rice,mccoy,mathews,cj2k

WR: Johnson, fitz, Welker, Jennings, Johnson

QB: Rodgers, Brees, Brady, Stafford, Scam Newton

TE: Gronk, Graham, Hernandez, Gates, Davis

QB: Eli Manning (I dont believe there is a QB outside the top 5 ADP that is capable of finishing QB1)

RB: Matt Forte

WR: Hakeem Nicks

TE: Brandon Pettigrew

Honorable mentions: Julio Jones, Jason Witten.

 
Darren McFadden and Ryan Matthews. Dings and dents being the only things in their way at this point.

I was thinking Matt Forte as well for RB. I just don't know if the touchdowns will be there. I would also say CJ2k but he is probably gonna be RB5
 
QB = Micheal Vick

RB = Demarco Murray

WR = Dwayne Bowe

TE = Owen Daniels

Honorable Mention: Peyton Hillis, Steve Smith, and Tony Gonzalez

 
Top 5 if everyone agrees

QB: Rodgers, Brady, Newton, Stafford, Brees

RB: Mccoy, Foster, Rice, Matthews, CJ2k

WR: Megatron, Fitzgerald, Welker, A. Johnson, ????

TE: Gronk, Hernandez, Graham, Davis, Gates.

This is assuming redraft not dynasty since it is this year.

Not a chance unless White disappears.

The way I see it, WR is best place for a surprise b/c one injury to Megatron and the race is wide open. With all the stuff down the field Julio Could put up some amazing numbers

Forte won't get there with Bush around.Vick > Manning due to rushingNicks may start slow and Cruz will get his.Don't see Pettigrew making the jump. Megatron will get the TDs. Scheffler still around.

Not only would White have to disappear, Fitz, Thomas, Marshall all would start on equal footing as Jones.
 
QB: RG3 - Cuz why not? Those top 5 are the only real contenders for the #1 spot.

RB: 1) MoJo if he doesn't hold out

2) Peterson if he is ready when the season starts.

3) Ben Tate if Foster goes down early.

WR: Colston - Brees and the Saints like to air it out and Meachem left.

TE: Finley - He is a beast and has the best QB in the league with a pass first offense.

 
Fun Game.

QB: Vick (Runner up Rivers)

RB: McFadden (Runner up Lynch)

WR: Marshall (Runner up Antonio Brown- if no wallace)

TE : Finley (Runner up Tamme)

I do love Jones this year, and can see him top 5, even top 3 but taking the top spot would be tough with Roddy around. You don't see the top WR in the nfl often have another top 10 wr around him.

 
vick - possible if healthy

dmac - would expect this if healthy

austin - when romo and he are healthy, he is the #1 wr

witten - if austin gets hurt an dez plays as expected, he would see a ton of targets

Do we really see richardson scoring more touchdowns then most of the guys in the top 5 though? Can't see that happening. And will be tough for davis to do since he's missing games for suspension.

The suspension was last year, and yes, I can absolutely see a scenario where Richardson gets 14 total TD's.

The Browns, as a team, won't even score 14 total TD's.

Vick and Lloyd are the 2 guys that jump out at me as huge ceilings.

Lots of guys COULD do it at TE. Finley seems like the most likely.

QB: VickRB: MurrayWR: BryantTE: assuming you meant Vernon Davis, Fred Davis
 
QB: Manning, Vick, and Romo are the ONLY 3 I can see having a shot.

RB: MJD and Jahvid Best. Obviously, with Best, its all about health, but he could absouletly steal the show in a PPR with 16 games and a solid detroit team.

WR: For a position that probably fluxes more than any other, its hardest for me to see a guy that would bump the big 3. Nicks is proably the one. Perhaps Steve Smith. Its going to take a steady compiling feeding of the ball. I think both those guys could get that.

TE: Finley is the only guy I see actually having the talent to do it and it probably requires the Patriots to spread the ball around more and the saints to have some problems based on continuity (with all the issues they had in the off-season).

 
Michael Vick and Darren McFadden stand out to me as guys who should be in the mix at the very top if they play 16 games.

Based purely on situation, Jermichael Finley could do it. TD receptions can fluctuate pretty wildly, and Rodgers will throw a ton of them.

 
QB - Romo (Has the weapons to put together a great season)

RB - Richardson (Should get plenty of opportunities to carry the offense)

WR - AJ Green (Guys a beast who will break out in his 2nd season)

TE - Finley (Talent is there and will put the drops of last year behind him)

 
QB- Vick (he has done it before and could again)

RB- McFadden (injury risk) or Murray (latest news about Felix Jones has me liking more than ever, MJD also has to be considered

WR- R White (a lot of love for Julio, but why not White) also like Jordy Nelson and Wes Welker (both talented WR in high octane offenses)

TE-This one is the toughest...I would say Finley (GB offense), Tamme (Manning), Pettigrew (Det offense), Owen Daniels (if 100% the whole season, but a lot of risk here)

It's not a given that White will be top 10 this year. ;) I'm not saying he won't be. But it wouldn't surprise me if he dips this season.

That said, your list is mine except that I prefer MJD as the RB alternate and Lloyd as the WR alternate.

Worked real well for him last year, oh wait. Manning has better weapons and is a better QB.
Nicks may start slow and Cruz will get his.

Every WR in the NFL was just described.
Don't see Pettigrew making the jump. Megatron will get the TDs. Scheffler still around.

Making what jump? Dudes averaging 77 Rec a year all he needs to finish top 3 is TDs, which Scheffler has no claim on and Megatron is at best two people.

QB - RiversRB - RichardsonWR - MarshallDon't really like any of the TEs outside the obvious names.
 
QB - Ryan

RB - MJD

WR - Marshall

TE - Jesus

Surprised by how many people are saying DMC and how few are saying MJD (Im shocked CJ2K's ADP is higher than MJD as well). As others have said, I cant picture any QB not in the Top 5 ending up #1, but I think a TE pulling that off is is about 10 times less likely. There is a 1% chance a TE besides Gronk or Graham ends up #1, and that 1% is Hernandez is Gronk goes down in the first couple weeks with a season ending injury.
