Default 2001 Dakota barely running

I have a 2001 Dakota, 2WD, 4.7L V8. It was running fine with no problems. All of a sudden it started missing and running extremely rough. I barely made it home. I had the trouble codes scanned and this is what they gave me

P0300 - Random cylinder misfire
P0301 - Cylinder 1 misfire
P0302 - Cylinder 2 misfire
P0304 - Cylinder 4 misfire
P0355 - Cylinder 5 coil
P0201 - Cylinder 1 injector

P0051 - Oxygen sensor heater
P0132 - Heated oxygen sensor bank 1 sensor 1 high voltage
P0136 - Oxygen sensor
P0138 - Oxygen sensor
P0152 - Oxygen sensor
P0158 - Oxygen sensor bank 2

P0500 - Vehicle speed Sensor

It is barely running, has a strong smell of fuel. Fuel pressure checked out at 50PSI

I pulled all of the spark plugs to get a better idea of what was going on in there and this is what I found
1- wet with fuel
2- wet with fuel
3- wet with fuel
4- dry but black
5- dry but black
6- damp but not soaked
7- damp but not soaked
8- wet with fuel

I am at a loss with this thing so I figured I would stick it on here and see what you guys have to think.

the vehicle speed sensor is odd to be in with all the other codes. you may have bad o2 sensors on both banks causing and excessive amount of fuel being poured into cylinders.
