At quarterback, it's hard to argue with their top five, except for Russell Wilson. While he is the QB of the defending Super Bowl-champion Seahawks, it's hard to call him a top-5 QB at this point. Andrew Luck, Ben Roethlisberger and even Philip Rives could make a legitimate case to be ahead of Wilson.
At running back, this is the top five most would pick. Lynch is in for a step back in 2014 due to his age and wear and tear, but until he does fall back, he should regarded as one of the five best RBs.
Adrian Peterson is still the league's best RB when healthy and has a decent supporting cast, so it's fair to have him at No. 1, though Jamaal Charles and LeSean McCoy had legitimate claims to the top spot after superb 2013 seasons.
