Filed under: 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, Rams, Seahawks, NFC West

Fantasy football week is upon us once again. Each FanHouse NFL division writer used their keen insight to predict the top four fantasy football scorers at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end.

QUARTERBACKS

1. Alex Smith, 49ers: 3,000 yards, 22 TDs, 12 interceptions.

Smith, for the first time, has the same offensive coordinator two years in succession. That has given him some continuity, and maybe the chance to be the star the 49ers thought he was when they drafted him out of Utah. Competing in a weak division helps.

2. Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks: 2,900 yards, 18 TDs, 14 interceptions.

Hasselbeck’s numbers are pretty good, not world class, but you could do worse. The trouble is that the offensive line is missing its best player from a year ago, the retired Walter Jones, and Russell Okung, the first round pick who was supposed to replace him is hurt. That leads to the suggestion that Hasselbeck will be hurried and his interceptions could go up.

3. Sam Bradford/A.J. Feeley, Rams: 2550 yards, 16 TDs, 16 interceptions.

Bradford is the great unknown, but assuming he starts over A.J. Feeley, he could open up the Rams’ offense. He’s got a strong arm, but it will be a test to see if the weak Rams’ offensive line can support him. It can only help that Steven Jackson can carry the bulk of the offense on the ground.

4. Matt Leinart/Derek Anderson, Cardinals: 1,850 yards 12 TDs, 14 interceptions.

The Cardinals will probably start the year with Derek Anderson, but even if Matt Leinart isn’t kept on the bench or traded, why would you draft Anderson? He is erratic and Leinart has never established himself.
