    All looks good, except no way Matt Ryan is the ROY over Chris Johnson imo.

    I was going to put him but he plays with a great defense and doesn't have to carry the same load that a starter does.

    Id have no problem with him being named ROY, though. Plus he's on my fantasy team so I would probably be quite happy. ;)

    I like the Titans over the giants. The rest of that list is pretty much right on.

    Who would be your surprise players so far?

    Here is a couple good surprises:

    Jason Campbell: I remember thinking this guy would be a huge bust in the NFL. He is solid and steady, makes no mistakes.

    Aaron Rodgers: Who would have expected this?

    Clinton Portis: On pace for his best year ever.

    How bout some bad surprises:

    LT: A little injured but hasnt done much at all this year.

    TO: Few catches, will probably go postal soon.

    Peyton Manning: Not a banner year for Peyton.

    Larry Johnson: Head case.

    Cant believe the year he is having. And after watching the Skins in the preseason and their first game who would have thought they would have played as well as they have?

    The expectations for Dorsey were too high. He's playing a tough position for a rookie. He is getting picked on and pushed around by experienced O-lineman. He needs time to grow into the position.

    Also doesn't help that he was inherited by the worst Dline in the NFL. Tough position to be in but he is gaining valuable experience.

    i've watched them play several times.

    he is playing quite well.

    Just it's hard for one guy on a defensive line to stand out when the other guys on the line are not playing well.

    and also when your offense goes 3-and-out damn near every time.
