Did you count them all? There's Watt of course and... wait, that's it!  Gone are Arian Foster and Andre Johnson from last year's list, in part because of the stench from the 2013 two-win campaign. Watt transcends such stink lines, rising three spots to No. 8 -- barely edged out by Richard Sherman as the league's top-selling defensive player.

The Seattle Seahawks, fresh off two consecutive Super Bowl appearances, are the most popular on the list with five, including Russell Wilson at the very top. As for the rest of the AFC South, the Colts, too, have just one on the list in Andrew Luck while the bottom-feeding Titans and Jaguars have a very unsurprising zero.

Overall it's the league's offensive players that are most popular, clocking in with 41 on the list. It's no wonder why the league, in turn, reinforces offensive production with rules slanted against defenses. The correlation is clear: Higher point totals equals higher profits.

Any thoughts on this Texans fans? Are you surprised at all that Foster and Andre are off the list? Will Jadeveon Clowney ever crack this list? DeAndre Hopkins? Let us hear it down below. You can peruse the full press release here.
