Here’s a sneak peak at the top five:

1. Peyton Manning, QB
Indianapolis Colts
One of the smartest and most physically tooled quarterbacks in the entire league, Peyton Manning has led Indy to the playoffs six out of the past seven years. Without RB Edgerrin James, Manning’s role becomes even bigger than ever and once again the Colts’ title chances are resting on his strong right arm.

2. Tom Brady, QB
New England Patriots
It appears that every single year the Patriots give Tom Brady less and less to work with, yet he still finds a way to lead his team into the playoffs. This season, he may not have one of his most reliable receivers in Deion Branch (just traded to the Seahawks), but does it ever matter? The one constant for New England’s continuing Super Bowl aspirations is having Brady locked and loaded for another season.

3. Shaun Alexander, RB
Seattle Seahawks
Is there any doubt that the reigning MVP is an impact player on his team? Seattle is an excellent team with legit hopes of returning to the Super Bowl in 2006, but without Shaun Alexander they would crumble.

4. Donovan McNabb, QB
Philadelphia Eagles
When Donovan McNabb sat out with a variety of injuries in ’05, the Eagles’ playoff hopes stood right next to him on the sidelines. It appeared that the whole Philadelphia team fell apart, defense included. Since 2000, McNabb has led the Eagles to four conference title games and one Super Bowl. Nobody should fall asleep on Philly this year with McNabb healthy again.

5. LaDainian Tomlinson, RB
San Diego Chargers
LaDainian Tomlinson was productive when Doug Flutie was the quarterback in San Diego, he was productive before Drew Brees was any good, and he’ll be productive with first-year starter Philip Rivers taking over in ’06. He’s the Chargers’ best player and head coach Marty Schottenheimer obviously knows that, which means his team’s fate will rest solely in LT’s hands, not his young QB’s. Judging by their opening 27-0 pasting of the hated Raiders, that setup should work just fine for the Bolts.
