ZZZZZ.

That's the turkey talking.

LLLLL.

That's my fantasy football team talking.

Peyton Manning is suddenly looking a lot like Gary Hogeboom. I thinkDeon Branch is in the Witness Protection Program. The only (goal) line Cedric Benson has crossed lately is that of decency — his yards per carry average is downright obscene.

But long before the first snap, the first Indianapolis Colts player to have a ligament blow up or the first 2-yard Benson carry, those picks looked pretty darn good.

Eleven weeks later, there are people out there kicking themselves for taking Marvin "bruised knee" Harrison and passing on "head case" Randy Moss.

I had Moss last season. He caught 42 passes. He may catch 42

touchdown passes this season.Peyton Manning over Tom Brady? If the draft happened today, Brady would be the No. 1 pick in every draft, except those involving diehard Steelers fans, then there would be a Brady Moratorium.If I had to do it all over again, though, I would have picked nothing but Patriots.They've been that good this season.Blame something else on the Pats — they are ruining fantasy football. The lucky dude who snatched up Brady is probably in the playoff hunt no matter who he put around him. He could have DeDe Dorsey as one of his starters at running back and still be in the hunt.Using typical fantasy football scoring rules, a team of all Pats would produce some startling numbers.•

Quarterback: Brady is in a league of his own. He has fantasy owners fawning over him like super models.Fantasy points per game: 28.•

Running backs: Laurence Maroney has been a disappointment, but an all-Pats fantasy owner would most likely start him in every game in which he was healthy. Same with Sammy Morris. Kevin Faulk and HeathEvans would be the fill-ins.Fantasy points per game: 15.•

Wide receivers: The trio of Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Donte Stallworth has been money this season.Moss by himself would carry this unit. Throw in Welker and the occasional big point week by Stallworth, and you get some pretty big numbers.Fantasy points per game: 33.•

Tight end: Even Ben Watson gives you some points.Fantasy points per game: Five.•

Kicker: Stephen Gostkowski. Hey, those extra points add up. He'd have more if Bill Belichick would kick a field goal instead of going for it on fourth-and-goal up by 32 points.Fantasy points per game: Eight.•

Defense: The Pats have given up some points, but they have collected lots of turnovers, sacks and an occasional touchdown.Fantasy points per game: 13.Grand total: 102 points per week.Yup. New England is breaking the NFL and fantasy football.
