Name |
Notes |
|
Aaron Rodgers |
Excellent passer but also adds 50 fpts a year with his rushing;
improved o-line; consistent in his first 2 years as starter; GB
schedule is 5.9% harder than last year for a QB. |
|
Drew Brees |
Excellent in last 4 yrs; won't attempt 600+ passes anymore since
Saints now have a running game; o-line has lots of depth. |
|
Tom Brady |
Has been consistant since 2005 if we forget injury year - safe pick;
was dominant in 2007 and has very good WRs - high upside; NE
schedule is 7.7% easier than last year for a QB. |
|
Peyton Manning |
Top 6 QB every year since 1999 - very safe pick; hasn't had any
great years other than 2004 - less upside than other top QBs. |
|
Matt Schaub |
Great stats in past 3 yrs; o-line is young and deep; don't forget he
missed 5 games in both 2007 and 2008 - risky pick. |
|
Tony Romo |
Not as consistant as other top QBs; age of o-line is a concern;
Cowboys are not as good an offense as they were a few years ago. |
|
Jay Cutler |
Martz offenses avg 590 pass att. and 7.8 Y/A in last 7 yrs (min. of
550 and 7.1); Kitna was top 12 in '06 and '07 - Cutler has huge
upside; CHI schedule is 5.8% harder than last year for a QB. |
|
Kevin Kolb |
He played very well in his 2 starts last year; o-line could struggle
early in the year; high potential but unproven so be careful. |
|
Philip Rivers |
TD/Att and Yds/Att were out of the ordinary in last 2 yrs, both
numbers will drop; no Jackson and no McNeill for now - VERY risky. |
|
Joe Flacco |
Good improvement in 2nd year; good offense but few pass TDs in 2009
- should change; added Boldin; o-line is good and deep. |
|
Eli Manning |
TD/Att and Yds/Att increased out of nowhere after 4 consistent
seasons - both should decrease; o-line is same as always; NYG
schedule is 3.4% easier than last year for a QB. |
|
Brett Favre |
Avg of 6.7 Y/A in last 4 seasons after having over 7.5 Y/A; hasn't
missed a game in 17 yrs; MIN schedule is 5.4% harder than last year
for a QB. |
|
David Garrard |
TD/Att and Yds/Att were low in past 2 years - both should go up;
improved pass protection; gets 45 fpts a year from his rushing. |
|
Matt Ryan |
O-Line is much improved over last year; has the team to be as good
as 2008 but with 100 more pass attempts; ATL schedule is 6.3% easier
than last year for a QB. |
|
Carson Palmer |
Addition of Owens and Bryant could turn them into a passing team;
good and improved o-line; good upide and safe bet to improve over
last year. |
|
Donovan McNabb |
Moves to Washington after 11 yrs in Philly; played 16 games twice in
last 8 yrs; doesn't have a great surrounding cast. |
|
Ben Roethlisberger |
Top 20 QB in each of his first 6 games; will miss first 4-6 games of
the season; could be worth the upside with another top 16 QB; PIT
schedule is 4.0% harder than last year for a QB. |
|
Vince Young |
Lost his starting job in 2008 and could still be suspended - risky
pick; his rushing gives him a 50 pts edge over most other QBs. |
|
Alex Smith |
Impressive in 2nd half of last year; improved o-line with good
depth; hadn't done anything in first 3 yrs; WRs are same as last
year |
|
Matt Cassel |
Bottom 5 in sacks and passes dropped in 2009; o-line is improved;
played better with addition of Chambers in 2nd half; job is very
safe; KC schedule is 4.0% easier than last year for a QB. |
|
Derek Anderson |
Offense will be more run-oriented this year; great offense but
Anderson hasn't done much in his career; not convinced he'll be the
starter for the whole year. |
|
Chad Henne |
2nd year as starter - should improve; addition of Marshall will
help; 3 QBs on roster: Thigpen, Pennington and White - risky pick. |
|
Jason Campbell |
Not a very good surrounding cast in Oakland; their o-line is a
little better than last year; job is safe; big upgrade for Oakland
at QB. |
|
Josh Freeman |
O-line is still pretty bad; added a 2nd and 4th round pick at WR to
replace Bryant; will get fpts from running; job is safe but little
upside; TB schedule is 5.0% easier than last year for a QB. |
|
Kyle Orton |
He played surprisingly well in 2009 and his job is pretty safe but
has lost his best WR in Marshall and his LT Clady is a question
mark. |
|
Mark Sanchez |
Jets won't run over 600 times again; will improve like most 2nd year
QBs; great upside with Cotchery, Edwards and Holmes at WR. |
|
Matthew Stafford |
He won't throw 38 times a game this year - will improve but will
throw fewer passes; still doesn't have much talent to help him; job
is safe. |
|
Matt Moore |
Was great in final 5 games last year; limited upside on a run-first
team; job isn't particularly safe with Clausen behind him. |
|
Matt Hasselbeck |
He has struggled in his past two seasons; has played 16 games only
once in last 4 years; better o-line; Whitehurst could steal his job. |
|
Trent Edwards |
Hasn't been as bad as you might think; run first team; injuries have
slowed him down in his first 3 yrs; still competing for the job. |
|
Jake Delhomme |
Missed 21 games in the last 4 yrs, poor surrounding cast, Seneca
Wallace and Colt McCoy are right behind him, pretty good o-line. |
|
Sam Bradford |
Rookie QBs have very little fantasy success; o-line is pretty good;
job is pretty safe; Rams will be a running team this year. |
