Fantasy Football 52: Guaranteed 100% Accurate QB Rankings

By Eric Pedigo / ericpedigo.com

Quarterback is inarguably the most important position in all of football, except of course in the strange world of fantasy football. Most leagues score only 3 or 4 points per passing touchdown in an effort to level the playing field. I’ve never understood this logic. It seems to me that the highest scoring players in fantasy should be the most crucial players in actual football. So I recommend awarding 5 or 6 points for each passing TD. Combine high scoring QBs with a PPR system and the first round of your league’s draft gets a lot more interesting. The good thing is QB rankings don’t change based on points per TD. So saddle up (Sorry, I’m hooked on Red Dead Redemption), let’s rank us some QBs.

 

1. NO-Drew Brees- Not sure why publications offer up an explanation. Brees is number one, duh.

 

2. IND-Peyton Manning- I’ll take Manning’s consistency over Rodgers, but just barely.

 

3. GB-Aaron Rodgers- Big arm, great WRs, plus a few hundred yards on the ground.

 

4. HOU-Matt Schaub- Last year’s yardage leader still has the games top WR.

 

5. SD-Philip Rivers-Had him at 4, but no Vincent Jackson lowers his value slightly.

 

6. DAL-Tony Romo- If Dez Bryant pans out Romo could have the top WR corps in the league.

 

7. NE-Tom Brady- Alarmingly handsome, but record setting days are long gone in NE.

 

8. PHI-Kevin Kolb- Call it a gut feeling, I just like Kev this year. That’s what I call him. Kev.

 

9. MIN- Brett Favre- He’s coming back, and he’s a decent fantasy option.

 

10. BAL-Joe Flacco- Not sure he’ll ever be a fantasy monster, but he’s a quality start.

 

11. ATL-Matt Ryan- What follows a Sophomore Slump? Junior year rejuvenation? Sounds cool.

 

12. MIA-Chad Henne- Sleeper pick this year. Could very well outplay his draft position.

 

13. WAS-Donovan McNabb- Donovan usually proves me wrong. It’s not him I don’t like, it’s Washington.

 

14. CHI-Jay Cutler- Last year’s struggles were more about the O-line than Cutler. He still threw for more TDs than he ever has in a season.

 

15. CIN-Carson Palmer- One of the best fantasy backups available.

 

16. NYJ-Mark Sanchez

 

17. JAX- David Garrard

 

18. KC-Matt Cassel

 

19. SEA-Matt Hasselbeck

 

20. ARI-Matt Leinart

 

21. DET-Matt Stafford

 

22. SF-Matt Smith

 

23. DEN-Matt Orton

 

24. TEN-Matt Young

 

25. CAR-Matt Moore
