New Orleans Saints. Drew Brees. 6. player. 15. .

The hall of fame lock may have lost Brandin Cooks to New England but he has some nice new weapons to toy around with. Adrian Peterson and Alvin Kamara were brought in to bolster the backfield and both of them can make plays out of the backfield. Michael Thomas also came into his own last year, proving a capable number one option across from Willie Snead. Brees could take the Saints back to the playoffs if the defense can hold up.

55. . . Pittsburgh Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger. 5. player

Coming in at number five, in what will likely be his final NFL season after contemplating retirement this past spring, is the great Ben Roethlisberger. Big Ben is poised to guide Pittsburgh through yet another playoff run. He’d be hard pressed to make the AFC Championship again but it’d be foolish to count out the living legend.
