2009 Fantasy Football Studs
Stud: A NFL player who has proved himself to be a top scoring player at his position. These players should be started each week regardless of match-up and should only be benched during bye weeks and significant injuries. From our Fantasy Football Dictionary
Our writers have classified the following players as studs for 2009. We will be updating this list throughout the pre-season.
| Drew Brees |
QB |
NO |

QB - #3 |
Drew Brees came close to breaking the single season passing yardage record in 2008, and should be one of the first quarterbacks drafted in fantasy drafts this season. Brees led the league in passing yardage and touchdowns in 2008 and should put up similar numbers in 2009 with all of his major weapons coming back healthy. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning will challenge Bre... Read More

| Peyton Manning |
QB |
IND |
33 |
11 |
QB - #2 |
Peyton Manning enters the 2009 season as one of the top three fantasy football quarterbacks. Manning is one of the safest picks in all of fantasy football as he has not missed a game during his spectacular ten year career and is one of the most consistent quarterbacks in the league every year. Manning is almost a lock for at least 4000 passing yards and at least 25 to... Read More

| Philip Rivers |
QB |
SD |
28 |

QB - #5 |
Rivers has proven that he can be an NFL fantasy stud with over 4,000 yards, 34 touchdowns and just just 11 interceptions in 2008. Why can this team not win a championship? Rivers has solid receivers and a huge ground attack with LT and Sproles, but for some reason San Diego cannot break the habit of exiting the playoffs early. Rivers will be a stud again this season w... Read More

| Aaron Rodgers |

QB - #1 |
One year ago it was really risky to pick up Aaron Rodgers for your fantasy team. Those risks are nearly gone. Rodgers threw for over 4,000 yards during his first year as a starter. He has a ton of receiving threats (including Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Donald Lee) and Rodgers should reach the 300 yard mark more often than not this s... Read More

| Tony Romo |
QB |
DAL |
29 |
5 |
QB - #6 |
Say what you want about Romo in pressure situations or his role in the ousting of Terrell Owens or his tabloid lifestyle, but the man produces for fantasy owners. Despite missing three games due to a pinkie injury, Romo passed for 3,448 yards and 26 touchdown passes, comparable numbers to his monster 2008 season. The loss of Owens will be a point of concern for some a... Read More

| Kurt Warner |
QB |

38 |
10 |
QB - #9 |
Warner, a two time NFL MVP (1999 and 2001) and Super Bowl XXXIV MVP, resurrected his career in 2007 with the Arizona Cardinals starting 11 games in place of an injured Matt Leinart and throwing for 3,417 yards and 27 touchdown passes. Warner won the battle for the starting job over Leinart in training camp of last season, and was an MVP candidate in the first half ... Read More
