5. Joey Porter, Dolphins. In a big comeback season, Porter had a career-high 17 1/2 sacks and made the Pro Bowl. That number will likely go down with the signing of Jason Taylor, who will steal some snaps. In the end, that will be a good thing because Porter, 32, will stay fresh and have a better chance of getting through the season.

Merriman's ranking is strange. Unless they think he'll come back as a lesser version of himself - though still close to the level he was playing - Merriman should be #1 or somewhere between 6 and 10. Considering he's coming off a major injury, I'd go with the latter.
 
As these are just opinions (like everything else), it's funny that Pennington is ranked 19th behind Jason Campbell and Ronnie Brown is 16th behind Darren McFadden.
 
I don't think Porter would have as many sack even if we didn't sign Taylor. I'm not knocking Porter, he was huge for us last year, but ranking him #5 overall is pretty generous imo. Another ranking based on fantasy football stats.
