"In Part I of the Top-50 keepers, we covered the changing nature of NFL offenses, the dynamics of keeper leagues, the near misses, the fallers, and players 31-50. Let's move on to the top 30 keepers.
Rank from the previous two seasons (2010, 2009) in parentheses.
30. Brandon Marshall, Dolphins (25, 21, 15) - The on-field antics and off-field baggage leave Marshall as a less desirable commodity than upside receivers such as Dez Bryant and Dwayne Bowe in pure Dynasty leagues, but he still has the edge in keeper formats. Marshall's 609 targets over the past four seasons are more than any other player in the AFC. If he stops dropping touchdowns, Marshall could regain WR1 status under Matt Flynn or Peyton Manning.
29. Eli Manning, Giants - The Super Bowl MVP posted a 9:1 TD-to-INT ratio as the playoff's premier QB, finally staking his claim as one of the top-five signal-callers in the league. How much has the NFL morphed into a pass-heavy operation? According to CBSSports.com's stats, the average top-12 QB in 2011 scored more fantasy points (365) than the No. 1 fantasy QB in 2010 (Tom Brady, 359) and 2008 (Drew Brees, 362). With a pair of studs in Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz, Eli should keep rolling with the top-six fantasy finishes."
