The 50 Best Fantasy Football Players for 2011

As of: August 10, 2011

Among the movers and shakers in my list this week: Running back Jahvid Best is in the Top 50 after the season-ending injury to his running mate, Detroit Lions rookie Mikel LeShoure. I was already looking for Best to take a big step forward this season, but now without LeShoure to steal loads of carries, Best's stock is up.

I'll continue to update this list as training camp continues and players become more settled in their roles for the upcoming season.
