The new and improved (see humble) Adam Conn finds himself atop the Experts Contest standings after a ho-hum 21-point effort, only bested by fellow guru Adam Barricklow’s 23 point performance. Paging Jeff Thitoff?

What you won’t see me write or hear me say is how Fantasy Football Empire’s Jeff Boggis has zero chance to catch me. Not my style. You won’t hear me say how last week’s 21 point effort was all about my rankings, without any help from the multiple choice questions. I’m above that.

What you will hear me say is… GURU… humbly of course.

Below is my official Expert Entry for Week 15. For Helbling’s click here.

Quarterback
1. Drew Brees, New Orleans
2. Matt Schaub, Houston
3. Peyton Manning, Indianapolis
4. Kurt Warner, Arizona
5. Tom Brady, New England – Nearly went to the bullpen and called Romo up. Weather up North, Bills vulnerable run defense – Hemmin’ and a hawin’, back and forth…. Alas, it was too late. The Saints/Cowboys game had begun. Love that Brady guy!

Running Back
1. Adrian Peterson, Minnesota
2. Ray Rice, Baltimore
3. Knowshon Moreno, Denver
4. Jamaal Charles, Kansas City
5. Chris Wells, Arizona – That’s right – No Chris Johnson.  Flame away.

Wide Receiver
1. Andre Johnson, Houston
2. Anquan Boldin, Arizona
3. Randy Moss, New England
4. Marques Colston, New Orleans – Meachem is scoring at will, but Dallas has been getting torched by so-callled No. 1 receivers lately.
5. Miles Austin, Dallas

________________________________________

Tight End
1. Vernon Davis, San Francisco
2. Fred Davis, Washington – Giants roll out the red carpet for opposing tight ends.
3. Jason Witten, Dallas
4. Kellen Winslow, Tampa Bay – Should he not be able to go, he’ll be replaced by either Gonzo or Finley.
5. Brent Celek, Philadelphia

________________________________________

Kicker
1. Billy Cundiff, Baltimore
2. Garrett Hartley, New Orleans
3. Kris Brown, Houston
4. Mike Nugent, Arizona – For all you Buckeye homers out there… Nuuuuuuge.
5. Rob Bironas, Tennessee

Trying to find a way to sneak Mare in here.  Stay tuned.

Defense

5. Houston Texans

Which one of these quarterbacks will have the most fantasy points?

Kyle Orton

Josh Freeman

Jason Campbell

Matt Hasselbeck

Tough call between Campbell and Hasselbeck, but Hass. is down Burleson. Edge goes to the resurgent(?) Campbell.

Which one of these running backs will have the most fantasy points?

Justin Forsett

Quinton Ganther

Chris Jennings

Arian Foster

Seattle’s nonsensical commitment, to any degree, towards Julius Jones is making me sick. As much as I would like, I cannot get behind Forsett. Redskins commit to one guy, which is good enough for me.

Which one of these wide receivers will have the most fantasy points?

Steve Smith (CAR)

Santana Moss

Joshua Cribbs

Dwayne Bowe

I know, I know. I’ve got Moss ranked one spot higher than Bowe.  But I’m going with upside even though Bowe is just coming off a four-game rip. Moss hasn’t seen 74 yards receiving since Week 3.  Bowe hit 74 yards or more four out of his last five games he’s played. The Redskins don’t need Moss as much as the Chiefs need Bowe.

Which one of these defenses/special teams will have the most fantasy points?

Buffalo

Oakland

Chicago

Cincinnati

Neither one of these teams are in my top 20, but I’ll give Cincinnati the nod despite the tough match up agasint the Chargers and recent thumping they took at Minnesota.

Which one of these running backs will have the most fantasy points?

DeAngelo Williams

Ryan Grant

LaDainian Tomlinson

Chris Wells

I may have stumped myself on this one. Can I snub Williams, a hot Grant or even recent TD machine LT? Yes – Yes I can. Keep fubmling Timmy, it’s Wells’ hour to shine. See also my Top 5 running backs above – GURU!
