A Winning Strategy In A Quarterback Age

Matthew STAFFORD LIONS

I WOULD be happy with any of the top five QBs but have a soft spot for Stafford, who led my team to the 2011 title. His numbers will be right in line with those of Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Drew Brees, and if you reach the fantasy playoffs, Stafford faces the Cardinals and the Falcons in Weeks 15 and 16.

RUNNING BACK

Darren SPROLES SAINTS

IF YOU'RE in a PPR league, this pass-catching mighty mite in the Saints' scoring circus is an absolute must-have.

DeMarco MURRAY COWBOYS

IN A perfect world, you could grab Murray in the third or fourth round as an RB2. Be sure to pick up Felix Jones for insurance later in the draft.

Donald BROWN COLTS

THE 2009 first-round pick finally came around a bit last year, and fumble-prone Delone Carter is no threat to take the starting job, meaning you may be able to draft a feature back, a rarity these days, as late as the eighth round.
