30. Shonn Greene, RB - NYJ. LT will take carries away, maybe even at the stripe. Mark Sanchez will continue to go through growing pains. Santonio Holmes is suspended four games. Revis may not be around to hand the ball back to the offense. Hard Knocks is putting a bullseye on the Jets' back. Draft Greene 30th anyway. He's that good.
29. Tony Romo, QB - DAL. Tony earns the spot below Rivers for being the anti-Rivers. He's a sign-of-the-times QB who's more likely to look up to the pressbox for approval from his girlfriend who used to be on The OC, than from his OC. Pop tarts and heinous headware aside, Romo can flat-out sling it, and has plenty of receivers to throw to.
28. Philip Rivers, QB - SD. With Rivers, it's not about the stats he'll put up for you as much as it is the stat's he won't put up. He's a quarterback you can trust implicitly, and no, he's not phased by not having Vincent Jackson. He puts up 215 and 2 TDs on his so-so weeks and should cross 300 points again this year.
27. Miles Austin, WR - DAL. Austin exploded onto the fantasy scene with a ridiculous 10/250/2 in his first career start. He kept it going, making the Pro Bowl with 1,300+ yards and 11 TDs. Dez Bryant is the future in Dallas, but Miles Austin is the right now. Look sharp; he's the blur on your TV screen.
26. Greg Jennings, WR - GB. Greg Jennings has proven himself to be one of the most consistent fantasy performers over the past three seasons and should find the endzone more in 2010. His track record earns him the spot above "Stunning" Miles Austin.
25. Marques Colston, WR - NO. You can't teach speed. You can't teach height, either. You also can't teach being 27 years old, having Drew Brees as your quarterback, other weapons drawing attention and offensive genius Sean Payton coaching you. A 7th Round pick that every NFL team passed on, no one needs to teach Marques motivation either.
24. Cedric Benson, RB - CIN. The last of the solo-act running backs' touchdown potential makes him a worthwhile pick early in the third, ahead of second-tier QBs Romo and Rivers and WRs Boldin and Colston.
23. Roddy White, WR - ATL. Matt Ryan's main man has had three straight seasons over 80 catches and 1100 yards. Roddy is one of the game's true speed demons and a legit number one wideout.
22. Jamaal Charles, RB - KC. The biggest knock on Charles is that Thomas Jones has been extremely durable over his career. Jamaal will have one of the best per-carry averages in the league again this year, and Jones' presence may mean less touches but more explosiveness.
21. Reggie Wayne, WR - IND. Coming off a 100-catch season, and with Dallas Clark, Pierre Garcon, Joseph Addai and Austin Collie there to spread the field, all signs point to another stellar fantasy year for Peyton's favorite target.
