Top Fantasy Quarterbacks
1. Tom Brady- Patriots
This is probably a pretty obvious selection here. Not only does Brady produce very efficient numbers, but he rarely commits turnovers. The only scary thing for drafting Brady is the fact that he's been out of the game for a year now. However, he's still worth the risk. Brady's touchdown to turnover ratio in 2007 was 50 touchdowns to eight interceptions. Enough said.
2. Peyton Manning- Colts
Speaking from experience, Peyton Manning had a down year in terms of fantasy football in 2008. He threw more interceptions and less touchdowns. With all that said, Peyton is still a great quarterback to have on your fantasy team. He plays his home games indoors and throws for a ton of yards. He also has a great group of receivers to throw to like Reggie Wayne, Anthony Gonzalez, and Dallas Clark.
3. Matt Ryan- Falcons
Do not rest on Matt Ryan. He has a great offense at his disposal that will put up a ton of points. Roddy White is a huge deep threat, and Michael Turner also catches a lot of passes out of the backfield to add to Matt Ryan's fantasy value. Not to mention they added Tony Gonzalez to the roster which always is a red-zone threat. Look for Matt Ryan to be one of the top dogs in fantasy scoring.
Solid Picks
1. Aaron Rogers- Packers
Rogers got a bad rep in 2008 because of the Packers horrible defense that led to a 6-10 record. Many people may have forgotten that Rogers was extremely efficient for a first-year starter. He's very accurate and he is always capable of completing a deep pass down the field that can boost those fantasy scores. The only downfall is the climate Rogers has to play in towards the end of the season.
2. Drew Brees- Saints
Drew Brees is a high-risk, high-reward quarterback. As many people know, he threw for over 5,000 yards and 30 touchdowns last season. That translates to a lucrative amount of points in fantasy football. He also threw 17 interceptions which in most league deducts points. The positives still out-weigh the negatives with Brees. Very rarely will your fantasy team not put points on the board because Brees had an off day.
Turn Around and Walk the Other Way!
1. Kerry Collins- Titans
Even though Collins was surprisingly efficient last season, stay away from him as your fantasy quarterback. A good quarterback in real life isn't always a good quarterback in the fantasy world. Collins very rarely threw for over 200 yards in a game. He also rarely threw more than one touchdown in a single game. If that's not enough to keep you away, he's not very mobile and runs an offense that thrives off grounding and pounding the ball.
2. Joe Flacco- Ravens
It may be tempting to add Joe Flacco to your team since he looked so good in the playoffs last season. You still can't forget that he plays for a team that is thin at the receiver position. It's also very possible that Flacco could have a sophomore slump that so many other quarterbacks have gone through. Unless you are extremely desperate, stay away from Flacco.
