Quarterback Kurt Warner The Weathermen 265 points in 16 starts Drafted: Round 1, pick 4 After a one-year hiatus, the quarterback that Baysden really didn't want is back atop the league in scoring. And unlike the television networks, TFFL won't subject you to the requisite shot of his wife watching from the stands. I hear her next hairstyle will be modeled after Batcho's.

Running Back Marshall Faulk Jellypop Fighters 224 points in 14 starts Drafted: Round 1, pick 3 For the second consecutive season, Faulk has outscored TFFL's No. 2 RB by a margin greater than the space between Heelbillys owner Wayne McPeters' ears. In "The Greatest Show on Turf," he's the guy that gets shot out of the cannon -- the guy you pay to see.

Running Back Ahman Green The Weathermen 150 points in 16 starts Drafted: Round 2, pick 17 Whoulda thunk it -- a Nebraska RB with a penchant for fumbling finally hits it big in the NFL? Is this the feel-good story of the year? At the very least it made Bubba feel all warm and fuzzy inside and helped turn Brett Favre into a fantasy stud again.

Running Back Shaun Alexander T-Bird2 130 points in 10 starts Drafted: Round 12, pick 120 If Tim would have known Sir Shaun was this good, he'd have flown up to Seattle and gone Jeff Gilooli on Ricky Watters before Week 1. Now we have to wonder: What was Mike Holmgren thinking when he gave Watters his job back in Week 14?

Wide Receiver Terrell Owens The Jayhawks 169 points in 16 starts Drafted: Round 2, pick 16 T.O. got a lot of grief this year when he called out Steve Mariucci for not getting him the ball enough. Meanwhile, the Commish was thinking, "Yeah, Mooch, what in the hell is your problem?" Maybe Owens does act like an idiot, but at least he doesn't take plays off.

Wide Receiver Marvin Harrison Heelbillys 154 points in 16 starts Drafted: Round 1, pick 10 Talk about Mr. Consistency. Marvelous Marvin is making his third consecutive appearance on the All-TFFL team after 145-point seasons in 1999 and 2000. Here's hoping you're not a Heelbilly next year, Mr. Harrison, you deserve better.

Tight End Bubba Franks The Berserkers 63 points in 16 starts Drafted: Round 9, pick 86 You have to wonder: If former Packer TE Mark Chmura had been found guilty of having sex with high school girls (what is he thinking, anyway?) and sent off to prison, would he have a cellmate named Bubba? Isn't a roomie named Bubba the stuff of Kordell Stewart's dreams?

Kicker Mike Vanderjagt The Weathermen 146 points in 17 starts Drafted: Round 8, pick 77 Yes, this is the third Weatherman on the All-TFFL team. No, the Commish isn't quite sure how the Weathermen didn't finish higher than fifth. Maybe it's got something to do with Vanderjagt getting 17 starts, when the Colts only play 16 games. Just a theory!

Defense Chicago Bears The Gamblers 129 points in 12 starts Undrafted; Signed as free agent (Week 5) This was one quarter well spent by the Gamblers. And the Gamblers spent a lot of quarters this year. Nevertheless, Da Bears had Dave doing the Super Bowl Shuffle and talking like Ditka (the pre-Ricky Williams years).

THE SECOND UNIT
These guys wanted a first-team trophy real bad, but they instead get the crummy certificate with the commish's signature and some gold-foil seal on it.

Quarterback: Peyton Manning | Wile E. Coyotes | 236 points in 16 starts | Drafted: Round 1, Pick 5
Yeah, he sucked in real football this year, but that's why we call it fantasy football, folks.

Running Back: Corey Dillon | Carolina Killers | 124 points in 16 starts | Drafted: Round 2, Pick 14
We wouldn't feel right having a second team without a Carolina Killer on it.

Running Back: Curtis Martin | The Berserkers | 122 points in 17 starts | Drafted: Round 2, Pick 15
C-Mart was so good this year that Ring started him in the Jets' off-week.

Wide Receiver: Rod Smith | The Gamblers | 116 points in 13 starts | Drafted: Round 2, Pick 19
The NFL's classiest wide receiver would have been a first-teamer if not for injuries.

Wide Receiver: Randy Moss | The Bottlerockets | 115 points in 16 starts | Drafted: Round 1, Pick 8
(The Commish is taking this graph off. I write when I feel like it!)

Wide Receiver: Tim Brown | Wile E. Coyotes | 106 points in 16 starts | Drafted: Round 4, Pick 36
This old man just keeps whoopin' some ass.

Tight End: Tony Gonzalez | The Jayhawks | 54 points in 16 starts | Drafted: Round 3, Pick 29
It takes a QB like Trent Green to hold Gonzo to this level.

Kicker: Jason Elam | T-Bird2 | 140 points in 16 starts | Drafted: Round 8, Pick 80
Elway's gone, Shanahan's probably gone, T.D.'s basically gone, McCaffrey was gone after Week 1 ... but Elam just keeps on kickin'.

Defense: Philadelphia Eagles | The Weathermen | 118 points in 14 starts | Drafted: Round 13, Pick 124
Yet another one of Bubba's starters!

2001 FLUSHES
Whether injured or just plain sucking, these chumps never panned out in 2001.

Quarterback: Trent Green | Berserkers, Jayhawks | 27 points in 4 starts | Drafted: Round 5, Pick 46
Priest Holmes became the poor man's Marshall Faulk in KC, but no one was comparing Green to Kurt Warner this year.

Running Back: Fred Taylor | Jayhawks | 0 points in 2 starts | Drafted: Round 1, Pick 9
The Commish's groin hurts just thinking about this pick.

Running Back: Michael Bennett | Carolina Killers, Jellypop Fighters | 0 points in 9 starts | Drafted: Round 3, Pick 27
The only thing amazing about this guy is how he got 9 starts. Poster child for the "Stay in School" crowd.

Running Back: James Stewart | Bottlerockets | 0 points in 2 starts | Drafted: Round 3, Pick 28
This pick must be accompanied by the requisite TV shot of Matt Millen doing his best Mike O'Cain "deer in the headlights" impersonation in the Lions owner's box.

Wide Receiver: Ed McCaffrey | Berserkers | 9 points in 1 start | Drafted: Round 3, Pick 26
"Easy Ed" doesn't deserve to be dragged in the mud like this, but it sure was nasty watching him break his leg on MNF.

Wide Receiver: Keyshawn Johnson | Weathermen | 8 points in 5 starts | Drafted: Round 3, Pick 24
Keyshawn, meet the end zone. End zone, Keyshawn. These two had little to say to each other in 2001.

Tight End: Shannon Sharpe | Gamblers | 16 points in 16 starts | Drafted: Round 7, Pick 62
If only his bite was as big as his bark ... The No. 2 TE selected in the draft should do better than this.

Kicker: Ryan Longwell | Carolina Killers | 5 points in 2 starts | Drafted: Round 9, Pick 87
Ryan Shankwell, Ryan Hookwell or Ryan Wide-Rightwell would have been more suitable names for the sixth kicker selected.

Defense: Kansas City Chiefs | Bottlerockets | 3 points in 1 start | Drafted: Round 11, Pick 108
The No. 7 defense picked in the draft couldn't even crack the starting lineup of one of TFFL's worst teams.
