Ranking the Top 10 Quarterbacks in the NFL

Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. The two names are the gold standard of NFL excellence. While both future Hall of Fame quarterbacks down play the significance of facing each other and build up the importance of Denver and New England playing Sunday with playoff implications on the line (it seems every time they meet, playoff implications are on the line) they both know their importance to their “rivalry” in professional football.

It does not get any better than this.

If you are looking for something to hang your hat on for this game and the game within a game, beside the fact Manning is not the best playoff quarterback and Brady seems to thrive in the post season. Broncos’ fans will love the fact Brady has not done well over the years facing Denver. There are subplots all around this one.

If these two giants are the standard by which all quarterbacks want to be, then who comes next? Which signal callers are just below that line of perfection? And which new breed of passer will have their name etched in Canton?

Here is a list of the 10 best quarterbacks in the NFL today. Yes, it is open for debate. Let the argument begin.

The Most Inconsistent Quarterbacks In The NFL

The quarterback position is considered the most important in the NFL. Many teams look at the top of the draft for quarterbacks with playmaking ability, but consistency is just as big a factor if not bigger. Christian Ponder of the Vikings started the 2012 season well, leading his team to a 2-1 record, while throwing four touchdowns to zero picks. Later in the season, Ponder went through a five-game stretch where he threw eight interceptions and completed more than 20 passes just twice. Ponder was the Vikings' first-round pick in 2011, and is now a backup at best. Which current starting quarterbacks have been the most inconsistent in 2014?

DraftKings Strategy Week 8: Best Buy and Over Priced Quarterbacks

This week there’s $2.5 MILLION DOLLARS up for grabs with $1,000,000 going to first place, that’s ONE MILLION for those of you having trouble counting all those zeroes.

The Top 15,000 people will cash in which is 1 out of every 6 players. The odds are in your favor and it’s time to buy that Ferrari you’ve been dreaming about. 

We are giving you a FREE entry to this contest. 

FREE chance to win a Million Dollars. 

Free Chance to become a Fantasy Football Legend.

Free Chance to completely change your life in a 48 hour window.

Click here to get in on the action.

Below you’ll find Over-Priced and Best Buys for QBs, RBs, WRs, and TEs. These are purely my suggestion as to which players come at a reasonable or unreasonable price based on their projected production. Some of them I don’t like based on match-ups while others I love the match-ups but don’t like the price.  

It’s important to note you don’t want to ONLY use the Best Buy Players, this is simply a way to find some “sleepers” to fill your lineup. We still suggest going after studs especially at RB1 and WR1.  

 

Best Buy Quarterbacks:

Tony Romo $7,400 vs. Redskins: Romo and the Cowboys LOVE the spotlight which will be shining bright on them for Monday Night Football. The match-up is great with the Redskins allowing the 5th most points to opposing QBs. 

Tom Brady $7,200 vs. Bears: Ryan Tannehill torched the Chicago Defense last week and Brady’s been on a roll with 9 TDs in his last 3 games.

Ryan Tannehil $6,700 vs. Jaguars:  Three straight weeks with 2 TDs and two out of three weeks with over 275 yards. 

ABSOLUTE STEAL: Nick Foles $6,300 vs. Cardinals: Fresh off the bye, Philly and Foles will travel to Arizona. The Cardinals have given up an average of 22 fantasy points to opposing QBs the last 3 games. 

BIG RISK SMALL PRICE: Teddy Bridgewater $5,100 vs. Buccaneers: The 2nd cheapest starting QB on all of DraftKings his insanely low price is only matched by your insanity to use him in your lineup. That being said, the Bucs boast the 2nd worst passing defense in the league and have allowed QBs to throw two or more TDs in their last four games. 

Over Priced Quarterbacks:

Drew Brees, $8,100 vs. Packers: Seems reputation is carrying Brees to the 4th highest priced QB for Week 8. Jimmy Graham is still limited and even though the game is in the Super Dome, Brees has yet to score over 25 fantasy points (which is the average of all QBs priced in the Top 5).  

Jay Cutler $7,000 vs. Patriots: Forget the locker-room drama with the Bears and just focus on the field stuff that matters, which is the fact Cutler has thrown just 1 TD in each of his last two games and hasn’t thrown more than 2 TDs in one game since Week 2. 

Mike Glennon $6,400 vs. Vikings:  The past three games Glennon was priced at $5,900, $5,500, and $5,900… Why the sudden jump into the mid- $6k? No idea, but it’s certainly not something from his performances on the field. He has three straight games with 2 TDs and 1 INT.

The Final Spot: Quarterbacks For The Millionaire Maker Part 3

Play fantasy football for a one MILLION dollar first place prize FREE, ffchamps.com/million TODAY. 
Enter by opening a Draftkings account with only a $25 deposit.  Upon deposit, you will get a FREE $27 entry into the Millionaire Maker, this weekends $1 million dollar game and a FREE FFChamps membership for the entire NFL season. Spots are limited.

 


So maybe for some reason last week didn't work out for you and you didn't win the million dollars.  And maybe it REALLY didn't work out for you and you didn't win anything.  No problem!  You've got another chance to make up for it this Sunday.  And if you've waited to fill your quarterback spot with your last pick, you've still got some options under $6000.

 

Derek Carr  $5800

Let's be clear that if you're starting Carr you better have some studs at your other spots.  Last week Carr put on a show and just narrowly missed leading his team to a win over the Chargers.  This week he'll have another chance to put some points on the board against Arizona.  With the Cardinals giving up the fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, you can count on Carr airing it out all day long.  And while they are good at stopping the run, they give up the fifth most points to opposing quarterbacks and second most to opposing receivers.  

 

Brian Hoyer  $5600

So you've probably heard that the Browns are a run first offense and so far that has worked out well for them.  But when a team takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars they become a run/pass/catch/put-points-on-the-board-how-ever-they-want-to offense. You already know that the Jaguars are terrible and Hoyer has shown that he is at least a good game manager if not a capable quarterback.  Against the Jaguars, the only fear is that the Browns get an early lead and give the combination of Ben Tate and Isaiah Crowell the ball the rest of the game.

 

Between the two I would go with Carr.  He has more upside because his team will be chasing points and they won't be able to get a running game going.  If by some chance the Jags get up a couple of scores on the Browns, Hoyer's stats will go up as he throws it more, but I don't think the Jags will ever have the lead and if they do it won't be by much or for very long.  Carr will be in a situation to get you more points because his success will be dependent on whether the Raiders are able to stay in the game.

Will Muschamp: Both Gator Quarterbacks Will Play Saturday

Will Muschamp did the right thing and set the table early for his Florida Gators when he announced that both Jeff Driskel and Treon Harris will both play in the game on Saturday versus Missouri.

Driskel was behind center for the entire game on Saturday night in a 30-27 loss at home against LSU.

Harris did not play following a tumultuous week where the freshman was accused of an alleged sexual assault, removed from the football program indefinitely, and then allowed to return to the team when the accusation was recanted.

This weekend, Muschamp plans to use the leadership of Driskel and the ability of Harris in the home game against the Tigers.

“They both will play this week and we’ll work through the week, and we’ll see how things go,’’ Muschamp said on gatorzone.com. “Right now Jeff will probably start but they’re both going to play.”

Driskel entered the season as the clear-cut No. 1 quarterback with Harris edging out fellow true freshman Will Grier for the backup job. The situation became muddled when Harris replaced a struggling Driskel at Tennessee and led the Gators on a pair of fourth-quarter scoring drives in a 10-9 win.

As the investigation played out last week, Driskel returned to business as usual and started Saturday’s 30-27 loss against LSU, completing 14 of 25 passes for 183 yards, two interceptions and one touchdown.

Meanwhile, cleared by the university to rejoin the team on Friday when the woman dropped her sexual battery complaint, Harris watched Saturday’s game from the coaches’ box along with offensive coordinator Kurt Roper.

Harris has appeared in two games and thrown only six passes, but in each outing he has done something memorable. In a 65-0 win over Eastern Michigan in the season opener, Harris came in during mop-up duty and threw two passes – both touchdowns, 78-yarder to Demarcus Robinson and 70-yarder to Mark Herndon

HARGREAVES TO RETURN (VIA TAMPABAY.COM)

Florida cornerback Vernon Hargreaves is expected to return to practice on Tuesday after suffering a head injury in Saturday night's loss to LSU.

Hargreaves was injured late in the second quarter and missed all of the second half.

Gators defensive tackle Leon Orr (Port Richey) is questionable for Saturday's game with a knee injury.

"We thought he’d be back by now but we’ll see how he works through this week," Florida coach Will Muschamp said.

Running back Matt Jones (Armwood) could be back in practice on Wednesday. He also missed the second half of Saturday's game with an ankle injury he suffered earlier in practice last week. Muschamp said Jones "felt it was a little loose in the game", which is why he was held out.

Also, offensive lineman D.J. Humphries injured his knee in the game, but is expected back at practice on Wednesday.

Wide Receiver Latroy Pittman, who was injured in a collision with 24 seconds remaining in the LSU game and had to be taken off on a cart, was released from the hospital on Sunday, but isn't cleared to return to practice.

"Everything’s come out fine, he’s day-to-day." Muschamp said. "Everything is checked out to be normal."

Pittman's status for the Missouri game is still up in the air.

"I don’t want to go out on a limb right now," Muschamp said. "Everything, thank goodness, take football out of the equation, is fine. There’s a good possibility he’s going to get some physical activity today and tomorrow and we’ll kind of move from there, but until the doctors tell me he's good to go right now, no. But I’m not going to rule it out.”
