Week 10 Rankings: Top 25 QB
It’s a special week when you have Peyton Manning and Tom Brady squaring off, but neither of them took home the top spot on our rankings for Week 10. Let’s take a look at how does, as well as how everyone else falls:
- Drew Brees - New Orleans Saints - at St. Louis
- Peyton Manning - Indianapolis Colts - vs. New England
- Tom Brady - New England Patriots - at Indianapolis
- Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers - vs. Dallas
- Ben Roethlisberger - Pittsburgh Steelers - vs. Cincinnati
- Brett Favre - Minnesota Vikings - vs. Detroit
- Kurt Warner - Arizona Cardinals - vs. Seattle
- Jay Cutler - Chicago Bears - at San Francisco
- Joe Flacco - Baltimore Ravens - at Cleveland
- Tony Romo - Dallas Cowboys - at Green Bay
- Philip Rivers - San Diego Chargers - vs. Philadelphia
- Donovan McNabb - Philadelphia Eagles - at San Diego
- Carson Palmer - Cincinnati Bengals - at Pittsburgh
- Matt Hasselbeck - Seattle Seahawks - at Arizona
- Kyle Orton - Denver Broncos - at Washington
- Matt Ryan - Atlanta Falcons - at Carolina
- Jake Delhomme - Carolina Panthers - vs. Atlanta
- Alex Smith - San Francisco 49ers - vs. Chicago
- Mark Sanchez - New York Jets - vs. Jacksonville
- Marc Bulger - St. Louis Rams - vs. New Orleans
- Trent Edwards - Buffalo Bills - at Tennessee
- David Garrard - Jacksonville Jaguars - at New York Jets
- Matt Cassel - Kansas City Chiefs - at Oakland
- Josh Freeman - Tampa Bay Buccaneers - at Miami
- Matthew Stafford - Detroit Lions - at Minnesota
Thoughts:
- The Colts and Patriots are two of the best passing defenses in the league, but what will happen when the two team’s square off? Forget the run, it’s liable to be a shootout, meaning both Peyton Manning and Tom Brady could be in store for big games.
- Ben Roethlisberger has been among the best quarterbacks in the league. He gets the Bengals, one of the worst passing defenses by yards allowed, so look for another big day.
- Brett Favre is not a great option most weeks, but against the Lions that’s completely different. The Lions have given up 19 TDs through the air, meaning he could be in store for a solid week.
- Kyle Orton’s got a tough match-up against the Redskins, but his value sits on his ability to manage the game. He has thrown just one interception (prior to his Monday Night game), which certainly should help, despite the match-up.
- How disappointing is it that the crop of QBs taking on the worst defenses are Trent Edwards, Jake Delhomme and JaMarcus Russell?
- What are the chances that the Rams fall behind early and let Marc Bulger try to pass their way back into the game? For that reason, he should be worth considering in two quarterback formats.
- Josh Freeman was impressive in his first start and jumps over Vince Young to be the final quarterback on this list. It’ll be tough for him to repeat his performance, but in two quarterback formats the rookie seems like a better option than some other low-end targets.
What are your thoughts? Who was left off the list? Who should be higher? Who should be lower?
