So I just was at ESPN and they have their first fantasy projections up. Rodgers is projected with 288 points, tied for 1st with Tom Brady.*

No, Favre isn't on there, and Cutler was 10th.

Linky

*to be clear ESPN ranked Rodgers fifth when you set the sort back to their original which includes "to draft risk/reward" but that's still a lot of respect.

It's very possible.

Last year's final points standings in the CBS Sports fantasy leagues, was 3rd. It doesn't look like Warner will have the firepower he had last year, and if Brees and Brady don't toss up monster years again, Rodgers could very well finish #1.

I have Brees and Rodgers as my qbs in my dynasty and can't make a legit trade with either.

I think I'd take Brady and Brees before him for sure. And possibly Manning as well. I think Rodgers would be right after that, though.

I think Rodgers has the best groups of WR's to work with again this year. The O line will probably be ok, but could be a little better or worse than that. The running game I think will be better this year, as long as injuries to not slow them again. In theory this sets ups Rodgers nicely to have a good season. However I do believe the D will be better this year, and that will affect the play calling on O. MM tends to get conservative when he a a lead or if it is even a close game. Last year GB had to score to try and win games at the end. Not saying AR will have a bad year, just not up to the potential he could. To illustrate my example look at Drew Brees, the reason he had such huge numbers is because NO knew they could not stop anybody so they had to score 35 in order to win.

Well, as a Packer fan it sure is nice to see that. But as a fantasy football drafter, I'd take Brady, Brees, and Manning ahead of him. At least. More of a sure thing.

How is Brees not #1?

I just looked at it again and Rodgers isn't #1. See they have them ranked in order of most projected points (in which Rodgers is #1). But their projected points aren't their ranking.

If you click ranking and filter it from top to bottom, Brees is #1 and Rodgers is #5. It still says a lot for ESPN projecting Rodgers to have the most points.
