Top 12 Fantasy QB's from here on out (1 Viewer)

[Team Smokin']

What a year for Brady and company so far

If you had to predict the top 12 fantasy QB's from here on out - how would you rank them.

Here's my best shot right now:

Tier 1: perhaps a flip flop

1) P. Manning

2) T. Brady

Tier 2: Seems like there are only 4 QB's that will be steady day in and day out

3) C. Palmer

4) T. Romo

Tier 3: Hopefuls

5) D. Anderson

6) D. McNabb

7) J. Kitna

8) M. Hasselbeck

9) B. Favre

10) E. Manning

11) D. Brees

Tier 4: Ties - good games here and there

12) M. Schaub

12) B. Roesthlisberger

12) P. Rivers

Your Thoughts?

Anderson does not belong on this list for the mere fact that the Quinn era could be unleashed at any time.

It's actually not very likely this season if Anderson keeps playing even above average. The front office all but said they would like to keep him out all season if possible.

Add to that the fact that the Browns have a MUCH easier second half schedule, and have a legit shot at the playoffs.Wk Date Opponent Time (ET) Coverage

The 5-10 range for Anderson is probably dead on.

The 5-10 range for Anderson is probably dead on.

Why so down on Anderson? Do you realize that in many scoring systems he is 3rd behind Brady & Romo (ahead of Peyton). Here are the rough stats:Romo, 1707 yards, 15 TDs, 77 rushing, 2 TDs, 9 INT

Anderson, 1496 yards, 14 TDs, 31 rushing, 2 TDs, 8 INT

Peyton, 1319, 10TDs, -1 rushing, 2 TDs.

I am not saying that Anderson is in the same class as Brady/Romo/Peyton in terms of football skills, value, quality...but fantasy football is ONLY about the stats. Like it or not, he is a top 3 fantasy QB right now.

The question is where to from here? I doubt you will see Quinn; Anderson is being too productive to pull him out of the lineup. Anderson also has Braylon and Winslow...two quality targets. As already pointed out, their schedule gets easier...and in the most important weeks (14-16) he faces the

Jets/Bills/Cincy. Barring injury to one of the three, I would project Anderson stays as a top 5 QB the rest of the way.

Note: I do not own Anderson. I offered Favre and was turned down. I tried the "Favre never gets hurt and is having a strong year"...he countered with "Anderson has scored 35 more points than Favre has -- almost 6 points per game -- no thanks"

Can anybody make a case that he will drop off based on anything other than the hope/belief that Quinn will take over the job? It seems that he has a perfect set-up: strong arm, explosive offense, stud skill WR, weak schedule and bad defense. And yes, much of his production will be in the 4th quarter being far behind...but does that really matter for fantasy purposes?

 

[AtomicDogg97]

Has Jason Campbell really jumped into the top 10 now?

No... But what about Warner, if healthy?

Remember, Anderson, Brady and Romo have not had their byes yet, most other top QBs have - except Favre, Eli and Hass. Pts per week, Anderson is #6. Kitna and Ben also have had their byes, and aren't that far behind in ppw. If we're predicting total points (top scorers usually mean that), this is a factor to consider. The "Quinn factor" is overplayed for this season, as were Palmer, Rivers, McNair, etc. I suspect he'll be sitting this year. As already mentioned, right now, Cleveland is one game out of the wildcard. Why would they bench a QB who has a 14/8 ratio, 88.9 rating, and has them in the thick of things for a rookie QB? The smart move is to let Quinn learn the system, win more games, and ensure Dallas doesn't benefit as much from their 1st

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

When looking at the past three weeks performance for each Q.B., and depending on the scoring system, Brian Greise has been the 5th through the 8th best Q.B. He is on a team that will be playing from behind, and he has improved his point total every week. Yet he gets not a mention. I understand his reputation. I also understand it is mostly a bad rap.

I agree. I have he and Warner to go along with Brees. I think Griese will be good going forward, but may struggle against Philly this week. (Detroit next week is looking good though.)

It's only been a few weeks, and although they haven't performed as expected, I just can't imagine Chicago playing from behind that much. They would like to run more, but Benson hasn't done well enough for that, so maybe you're right to mention him as a sleeper.

 

[Team Smokin']

Yes, you can say that Griese, Garrard, Campbell all deserve acknowledgment. I had Warner much higher before the ligament issue in his non-throwing arm as well.

The real question is where does Anderson rank or where will he finish - if in fact he even finishes the year for the Brownies? He has been nothing less than spectacular so far. Will the magic continue? Where does Anderson rank? At the same time we are learning where everyone else ranks now and in the near future as well. Yes, if we all had crystal balls.

I gotta believe if Anderson keeps playing well, the Browns keep on winning 3 out of 5 games, or 3 out of 4 games (make a real contention for a wildcard berth), you've got to keep him in there just to see. Otherwise there will be a mutiny in Cleveland. The Quinn era begins when the Browns are out, or Anderson tanks. Tough call because everyone wants to see how Brady Quinn will perform.

I guess that's why we play the game - risk and reward.

 

[Andy Herron]

The biggest onus on HC Romeo Crennel right now is to win games. As long as they are winning their share of games, I figure Anderson will most certainly stay in. You don't want to fix what isn't broken. For now, Quinn can learn just as well from the sidelines.

This is beginning to look very similar to Palmer's rookie season in Cinci when Kitna played so well for the Bengals. Didn't Kitna go to the Pro Bowl that year. I could be wrong, but it seems like he did. That's not to say Anderson is heading to Hawaii, but then again, I wouldn't rule that out either right now.

 

[big0mar]

you need to put warner in the top 5
