Top 10 QBs going the rest of the way (1 Viewer)

[DaMenace18]

If you had to rank the top 10 QBS as of today, how would you rank them going forward?

Keep in mind Ben is off his suspension.

It seems as if the top QBs have been starting off slow excluding Rivers and Manning.

Is there really a top 5 anymore? Or does it pan out again where its:

Manning

Rodgers

Brees

Brady

Romo/Rivers

Can one even make the argument of putting Rivers at 3?

 

[cubbie5150]

The Packers offense has looked pretty uneven to me, especially week 4; same w/ the Saints. To me it's Peyton & Rivers, then everyone else.

 

[DaMenace18]

I feel that Big Ben and Rivers could very easily climb into the top 3 by the end of the season. I'm excluding weeks 1-4

That being said they are consistently always undervalued in every draft

 

[fantasysharkctb]

I'd put Orton somewhere around the 10 spot.

 

[CaptainHook]

Rodgers

Manning

Brees

Schaub

Orton

Brady

Rivers

Cutler

Romo

Roeth

 

[David Yudkin]

No Orton, Vick, or Schaub considerations?

 

[Sabertooth]

Manning

Rodgers

Brees

Rivers

Orton

Brady

Romo

Cutler

Schaub

Vick

 

[DaMenace18]

Wow im pretty surprised to see Orton getting ranked at 5. The way things are i also believe he will at least a top 8 QB, but as soon Moreno comes back I see Orton falling outside of the top 10.

In my league he's the #6 QB so far, and there's no reason to think his production will slow down even with Moreno back. He should pass Vick for #5 next week.

I own Big Ben and while I hope youre right I dont see it. Their defense is too good and its not like last yr at all. I see a large decrease in ypg and a slight increase in tds.

 

[UFO]

other than a week one stinker vs. steelers Matt Ryan is putting together a nice season. He is currently the 9th highest scoring QB. How about Sanchez, (currently #8), first week I thought it was fluke but after 3 weeks now this offense is starting to hum...add Holmes and it's only gonna get better.

 

[shadyridr]

My guess:

Manning

Rodgers

Rivers

Brees

Brady

Romo

Schaub

Orton

Roethlisberger

Flacco

 

[YouthofToday]

Vick, with his injuries, cannot be in the top 10. He is going to miss 2-5 weeks. Even if he comes back in the early part of that time frame do you really think he is going to be running downfield like a RB? If anything the Eagles are going to insist he must avoid any big hits moving forward. Although I doubt he just slides and runs out of bounds, he simply is not going to be as aggressive. Furthermore, the Eagles schedule is rather difficult here on out.

I see a clear top 6 and a 2nd tier of

Manning

Brees

Rodgers

Romo

Rivers

Brady

-----

Orton (no running game and defense is suspect)

Schaub (why throw when you run all over teams)

Ben

Ryan, McNabb or Cutler, take your pick

 

[gethugefast1]

I'm putting Favre in there if (big if) the Moss deal goes thru & Rice comes back sooner than later...Moss, Rice, Harvin & ADP out of the backfield.

Interesting. I would also.

 

[CaptainHook]

theres absolutely no way matt ryan puts up top10 qb numbers

If you think he will continue throwing 50+ times a week then you are most likely correct

 

[greenheads]

in my 6 pts per passing td, 1 pt per 20 yds passing, league here's how it stands now:

1. Manning, Peyton

2. Rivers, Philip

3. Rodgers, Aaron

4. Orton, Kyle

5. Vick, Michael

6. Brady, Tom

7. Brees, Drew

8. Sanchez, Mark

9. Schaub, Matt

10. Ryan, Matt

I don't see too much change, If you figure in Romo's bye and give him his ave per game he's 8th, of course vick falls due to inj

Who else could move into the top 10? Cutler?, Palmer? Flacco? Gradkowski?, Fitzpatrick? Roethisberger?

 

[Sabertooth]

Moreno doesn't change anything. He's pedestrian.

 

[SteelerMurf]

Anyone think Sanchez keeps up his pace, if not for a bad week 1 he would probably be above the likes of Brees and Brady?????

 

[bulger2holt]

Bradford could sneak into the top 10 with the Rams easy schedule. Last week was 285/2 for him.

 

[Dr. Malo]

The top 2 are Manning and Rivers. The rest are debatable but should include Brady, Rodgers, Brees and Orton in one tier. Then Romo, Schaub. Then Cutler and Ryan. Finally Vick, Flacco, Big Ben, Garrard and the rest are also rans.

Tier 1: Manning, Rivers

Tier 2: Brady, Orton, Brees, Rodgers

Tier 3: Romo, Shaub

Tier 4: Cutler, Ryan

Those will probably end up being the top 10 QBs this year. Guys in tier 4 could end up in teir 3. Big Ben is the only one I could see cracking this top ten that isn't in it as of now. If you think he will do that well, put him in instead of Ryan.

It was a great year to wait on QBs in the draft!

No Eli?

 

[Dr. Malo]

I guess Eli could be in there with the Cutler, Ryan, Roethlisberger tier.

It's hard to know which two of those will stay in the top 10.

Vick, Sanchez, and Ryan probably won't be in the top 10. But does it really matter? All that matters is where you drafted them and what the "opportunity cost" was that you gave up to get them.

I was able to pick up Rivers in round 5. Well after almost all of those were drafted. I grabbed Orton in my last round. So I essentially ended up with QB number 2 and 3 (tied for three) overall, without having to give up a stud RB, stud WR, stud TE. That's really what matters.

I can almost guarantee that the guys who picked up Rodgers or Brees in the top 15 picks have a weak inconsistent team, unless they hit on some later sleepers (Foster, etc).

 

[DaMenace18]

Where does Brady and Favre now rank after the Moss trade. Does Favre climb into the top 5? Does Brady Move down?

 

[Dr. Malo]

Where does Brady and Favre now rank after the Moss trade. Does Favre climb into the top 5? Does Brady Move down?

I think Brady stays where he is. The New England offense (like Denver's) is a "get the ball to the open man" offense. Brady used Moss more as a safety valve downfield as opposed to going through his reads and hitting him when he is open. He would just throw it up if he is about to be sacked and no one is open. Plus, Moss was used to move the safeties and coverage away more than anything else, hence all the underneath routes. There offense does not depend on stud WRs at all, similar to Denver's offense. Get a bunch of guys that can catch, tell them where to run to, then get the ball to the open man. pretty simple. Similar to Linnehan in New Orleans.Favre is probably going to stay where he is for a while and slowly get better. He hasn't been playing particularly well and can only go up. Defenses will have to start adjusting coverages to Moss and dropping back further, which should open up the underneath routes and running game. Favre will initially take a lot of shots downfield at Moss (to play with his new toy), after a few interceptions, he will go back to reading the defenses, taking the underneath routes, and only going to Moss if he is open (or a step ahead).I've always argued that Moss is a unique talent in that he is a WR that can actually make the QB look better. Most of the time the QB makes his WRs who they are. Moss can do the opposite. He is a WR that can make the QBs look good. See Randall Cunningham and Duante Culpepper in Minny in hist first few years. He is extremely talented and can get the ball no matter where it is. Very few WR can do what he does and I can't think of any others like him (either historically or current).

good list, but a little too prisoner-of-the-moment-ish. i'd swap romo and brady permanently. romo is about to sizzle, and brady isn't 2007 brady, and he's even less of that now. and i'd probaly bump rodgers up to top tier. i'd still take him in a heartbeat over rivers, as i'm sure everybody would. also, if draft was today, roeth over cutler and ryan easily.

 

[andrew11]

I think people are giving Big Ben a little too much credit here. He's not a stud FANTASY QB by any means IMO. I could see him barely breaking the top 10...but I doubt it.

 

[glong989]

Agree, especially with their D playing like it is right now and Mendenhall running pretty well. Ward as a #1 WR with Wallace probably gaining ground and being a deep threat. They won't need to pass a lot and really don't have the weapons with Holmes gone..I think Orton is getting too much credit as well. He has the most passing yards thus far, you think that is going to extrapolate over the whole season? He will come back down to earth. Probably a top 10 guy, but not on the same tier as people like Rodgers, Brees, Brady or even Romo even though Dallas is starting slow.

 

[ponchsox]

Hard to leave Vick off this list even if he misses 1-2 games

 

[the_taint]

Bradford could sneak into the top 10 with the Rams easy schedule. Last week was 285/2 for him.

Bradford won't be consistent enough to be top ten.

 

[two_dollars]

From here on out, the top 10 qb's for fantasy points:

1) P. Manning

2) Rivers

3) Brees

4) Rodgers

5) Cutler

6) Romo

7) Brady

8) Favre

9) Schaub

10) Orton

Just outside top 10:

Big Ben

Bradford

Vick if he starts

 

[the_taint]

My list ...

Manning

Rodgers

Brees

Rivers

Orton

Romo

Brady

Schaub

Cutler

Roethlisberger

Tough call to add Vick or not. But with all the uncertainty, had to go with Roethlisberger instead. Side note, Ive been impressed with Rivers, having lost one of his top weapons, his first round draft pick RB has been injured and somewhat pedestrian, and he still just puts up his numbers. I had some concerns about him, and unfortunately have him on none of my teams, but mark me down as officially converted. He's a top 5 QB the rest of the way.

how on earth can you take cutler over any qb you listed after him (save bradford)? oh, i see, you are a bears homer and probably have him on your team to boot.newsflash: he's had one good game, thanks in large part to a fluke screen to forte that he took 80 yds, and it was vs the lions to boot. since then, his per game average has plummeted to around bruce gradkowski territory. and if your league deducts for ints, that knocks him back to the 15-20 range. he's an idiot with no weapons to throw to. he will max out at last year's #'s, and i'd take the under on all those. and you're insane if you have him ahead of brady, schaub, and romo, if nobody else.

Very very similar stats through 13 quarters as Brees has through 16 if you prorate the yardage, and the stats are better than Rodgers. I don't think I'm out of line here. And 1 good game vs Detroit? I think 277-3-0 vs Dallas is pretty good too. Not to mention how he dominated the 4th quarter vs GB..

Yes.Cowboys seem to be in struggles this year, Houston is running the ball well and AJ is hurt, and Brady just loss Moss (don't know if Tate can stretch the field yet). Chicago has no running game and Martz will throw 40+ a game if needed.
