	I got 3 of these this year (Michael Turner, Titans, and Roddy White)...hope they keep it up.

	Etheridge2:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 19:05 GMT		3 points
	awesome idea

	commprof:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 19:08 GMT		0 points
	Great idea! I was a little confused by the rankings though. My leagues definitely had some differences (Steelers weren't top Def?).

	JohnJF:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 19:14 GMT		9 points
	I'm not an avid fantasy footballer myself, but I do appreciate any entity that enlightens people about the likes of Greg Jennings and Visanthe Shiancoe and punishes those that simply bank on Terrell Owens and Chad Eight-Five.

	voljtw:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 19:23 GMT		1 point
	JohnJF: Yeah it just goes to show that the big name WRs aren't necessarily going to be the best fantasy players (although Fitzgerald was both last year). Those guys get all the attention from the defenses and usually are left with only a couple big plays a game...that being said I got Ochocinco this year so I'm hoping he does something.

	Morbo:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 19:25 GMT		-3 points
	Surprised Fitzgerald was No. 1 and Anquan Boldin wasn't even on the list. Their numbers were similar, and even with missing a couple games Boldin was a beast.

	moegoldberg:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 19:26 GMT		4 points
	Damn, I spent way too long trying to spell Houshmanzadeh, and he wasn't even on the list!

	America:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 19:31 GMT		-3 points
	i love this quiz

	RyanUR:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 19:34 GMT		-4 points
	How are the defenses that low? All you have to do is guess all the teams.

	Goober:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 19:41 GMT		0 points
	Only got one kicker, but judging by the stats, I'm not alone.

	jmurfab5:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 19:48 GMT		-3 points
	surprised at how big the drop-off is between the first guy and the rest of the bunch

	@kirbyjay You got beat out by the dolphins. I have no sympathy for you.

	MetaphysicalMan:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 20:15 GMT		3 points
	@Ernest - Boldin played in only 12 games. Even so, he finished 7th in fantasy points for WRs. Indeed he was a 'beast' when he was playing.

	Morbo:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 20:29 GMT		12 points
	@RyanUR: Much like in a fantasy football draft, people probably waited until there was 30 seconds on the timer to start naming defenses and kickers.

	Kicking222:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 20:52 GMT		0 points
	First off, I'm really surprised this got posted- I made it on a lark and figured there was no chance it'd make the site. Second, the way I originally made it was a far different form from what it is now, and this is a huge improvement, so thanks to the Sporcle gods. I'm not sure I even deserve to have my name alone atop this game- it should really be a co-byline game. Third, have fun, everyone.

	Deadpool:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 20:52 GMT		1 point
	I hope D-Will continues to prove why he's one of the best backs in the league. 1500+ yards, 20 TDs, 5.5 YPC, all while tying Jim Brown's record for most rushing TD's over 20 yards in a single season last year. It was great to see him listed number 1 in the RB section!

	mininimi:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 20:52 GMT		2 points
	surprised gostkowski is the the most gotten kicker. hes good but his name is freaking impossible to spell

	pat19:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 20:59 GMT		0 points
	@voljtw: That's not the reason those "big name" receivers aren't on the list- Calvin and Andre Johnson, for example, draw constant double teams and still put up these numbers. The big names we're referring to just aren't that good anymore (i.e. not Fitzgerald).

	buppyspek:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 21:03 GMT		0 points
	This quiz proves I know nothing about tight ends. And considering I started playing fantasy football last year, I performed poorly on the rest of this quiz. Much like my performance in fantasy football last year. At least this year I got a quarterback I've heard of!

	supersaiyan:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 21:39 GMT		-1 points
	It's pretty sad that I drafted DeAngelo Williams in my first round draft last night and I forgot about him on the quiz.

	CHOICECOD:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 21:52 GMT		-1 points
	As someone who knows nothing about fantasy football, it should be clarified that "Defense" refers to entire teams, not individual defensive players.

	y2jdilemma:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 21:58 GMT		-1 points
	Awesome quiz Kicking! Different from usual sports quizzes. Mad I missed 2 Kickers. bravo! Choicecod- Good point. I guess I took it for granted but youre right, if youre not familiar with the concept, it ought to specify.

	wildcatsixer10:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 22:15 GMT		1 point
	it would also be cool to do previous years... great idea kicking222

	brrap_brrap:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 22:17 GMT		3 points
	No idea why as an avid fantasy player that I thought Defense was referring to IDP's. smacks head

	I got Thomas Jones thinking of Maurice Jones-Drew. Love it when that happens

	BeatNavy:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 22:40 GMT		1 point
	everyone always jumps on the running backs, but the qbs outperformed them in terms of points.

	SowCrates:	Sep 2nd, 2009 at 22:44 GMT		0 points
	@ beatnavy, QBs always outperform RBs. The fact that Cutler, Rodgers and Rivers were probably taken no earlier than the 7th round in drafts last year seems to support the decision to emphasize RBs and WRs sooner

	This will help me with my draft this year.

	elgato10x:	Sep 3rd, 2009 at 00:32 GMT		-1 points
	The only thing more surprising than John Carney being on this list is the fact that he is even still playing. I wasnt even born when he entered the NFL, and I'm 20 now.

	The i live vicariously through others quiz!

	@zalagreensbury: I don't have the actual statistics, but I would guess that, given its enormous advantage in ratings compared to other non-NFL televised events, more women watch the Super Bowl than any other event of the year.

	zalagreensbury:	Sep 3rd, 2009 at 01:17 GMT		6 points
	I was just kidding...i'm still patiently waiting for that sarcasm font invention.

	duhh:	Sep 3rd, 2009 at 01:37 GMT		-1 points
	Shows how bad my fantasy team was last year...didn't have many of these guys

	Smee:	Sep 3rd, 2009 at 05:24 GMT		-1 points
	I wish Chad Ochocinco was on this list. I wonder how many people would get that right?
