Because NFL fans everywhere have grown to enjoy the NFL Draft process almost (or in some cases, more) than the NFL Playoffs, new additions to the fantasy draft pool from the college ranks are always intriguing.

You'll always see a drafter or two select his team's 1st round rookie because he's going to have a Adrian Peterson type season. However, it's usually unlikely that a rookie will be a consistent fantasy starter, as quarterbacks and receivers have a tough time adjusting to NFL technique and speed, while running backs are usually in platoon situations.

Here's the breakdown of the top fantasy rookies, and where they should be on your team's depth chart if you select them. This is following a "1QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE" starting roster league.

Two of the less important positions when it comes to drafting early in your fantasy leagues, these lesser positions could make the difference between a slight win and a dissapointing loss.

Some tight ends can be viewed as extensions of your receiver position, while if you wait to long, they could be extensions or your non-existent offensive line. Also, defenses, when you take the right one, can counter a quarterback's interception filled game by recovering some of those turnovers.

So, while these aren't the top positions to draft and shouldn't be touched in the first four rounds, they are important in having a complete roster going into the 2010 fantasy season.

Sean Payton and Bill Belichick together?

Is Chris Johnson serious that he’s targeting an unheard-of 2500 yard season?!

 E.J. Henderson is already up and mobile after that horrible leg break last season?

 Looks like the early start of the NFL Season, doesn’t it? It's good to have football back again and I think most of you would agree. We got a lot to cover in this Weekly Scout’s Take so let’s just get right to it.

Maybe the least important of the top three positions (QB, RB, WR), but the depth at the position and the depth needed on your team means that they are still a crucial position.

They aren't usually first round material in most years, but receivers generally dominate the draft after most teams have a running back or two and a quarterback, and usually the top guys go earlier. And while I preach that a good quarterback is crucial along with running back depth, don't ignore the receiver position, as number one receivers on good teams go very quickly.

It’s getting close to the last chance to place your bets on the Super Bowl predictions, and it’s, as usual, not an easy choice to pick your favorite. While it’s probably safe to look at the Colts and Saints once again, but because we haven’t had a repeat champ since the Patriots four years ago, that’s not a lock.

All lines are the opening lines given out just after the Super Bowl last season. And while most of these will change, even slightly, before the final odds are published, it’s still good to see where the safe, risky, and longshot bets are according to this list.

In one of the worst divisions in the NFL this upcoming season when it comes to overall talent, these position battles will go a long way in bringing out the best in a variety of positions.

The Chargers are likely to be the favorites coming into the next season, but with disputes involving Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeil means the back-up jobs to those players are much more intriguing. Also, as is usual with average to below average teams, incoming rookies challenge across the board, with a few having a very good opportunity to get meaningful playing time.

Always the staple of the first round and of your fantasy team, finding the right blend of running backs and having enough depth to maintain a staple force in your fantasy backfield will almost always be the difference between being a possible champ and struggling week to week.

We'll take a look at some "great values", which are guys that should be available past the first four rounds, and some "sleepers", which are guys that likely will fall until the middle to late rounds, but who could be the keys to fantasy success for you this year.

Outside of Lebron’s "The Decision", there’s been one other pressing decision that can change the forefront of the NFC; Will Brett Favre really come back?

Initially, I believe everyone expects Favre to return under center for Minnesota this year. His offseason workouts with the high-school team in Hattiesburg, The comments about wanting another crack at the SuperBowl winning New Orleans Saints who beat them in the NFC Championship game, the offseason ankle surgery, all these signs were pointing towards the same idea:

Brett Favre will return for another season to try and lead Minnesota to the promised land.

The top fantasy players in just about every type of league are the running backs. Usually the top 7-10 selections are these running backs because of the fact that they are likely 100+ yard per game guys who should get 7-10 touchdowns in the season.

However, in my opinion, the key to a successful fantasy football season is to have as good a quarterback as possible. You can usually find a running back in the mid to late rounds that can get the job done, and put three of those mediocre guys together and you can win each week.

But a team with a mediocre quarterback can mean a constant struggle and a crossing of the fingers each week.
