My Top 10 Fantasy QB's

As your fantasy drafts come closer and closer, it's time to focus on the most important position in fantasy football: The Quarterback. Your fantasy QB will either make or break your team. Some people however confuse the QB position as a first priority. There is a major depth at this position, and you should be careful to draft one too early and pass up on other playmakers early. But when that time does come, here are some ones that you may want to consider.




1. Aaron Rodgers
Last years Super Bowl MVP is poised for another great season. Rodgers will greatly benefit from the return of Jermichael Finley and Ryan Grant. While Rodgers did miss some time last year from a concussion, he is as durable as ever. Look for Rodgers to make prime targets out of guys like Greg Jennings and James Jones as well. You can count on Aaron Rodgers to carry your fantasy team this year.


2. Tom Brady
There really isn't a reason to not love Tom Brady for your fantasy team this year. He just came off of one of the greatest seasons of his career after losing his favorite target early on. Tom is the most accurate QB in the league and the Patriots offense lives and breathes the passing game. The Patriots offense did add some guys like Chad Ochocinco and Steven Ridley, but the main focus is on their O-line. The Pats managed to bring back both Matt Light and Logan Mankins which means that if you draft Tom Terrific this year you can rest assured he will be safe and sound behind his line.


3. Ben Roethlisberger
The people who overlook Big Ben on draft day will be sorry. Roethlisberger has been known to put up consistent numbers week to week and has one of the most explosive offenses in the league behind him. Guys like Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown will continue to excel while veterans like Hines Ward and Jericho Cotchery will be sure to compliment a solid run game. 


4. Philip Rivers
The potential that Philip River's fantasy season could hold is scary. Last year without his favorite target and some young receivers Rivers still managed to put up some huge fantasy stats and over 4,000 total yards. Now with Vincent Jackson back in the lineup and Malcom Floyd returning, Rivers is poised to dominate once again.


5. Michael Vick
While you can't expect Vick to have the same season that he had last year, you can count on his explosive offense and versatility. Jackson, Maclin, Cooper, Celek and now Smith all make great targets and give anyone a good reason to draft Vick. There is reason for caution though. Vick is likely to take a beating this year and is dealing with a tough schedule. Consider Vick a high-risk, high-reward draft choice


6. Drew Brees
7. Peyton Manning
8. Matt Ryan
9. Tony Romo
10. Sam Bradford
