1. Drew Brees. Brees was the best quarterback in fantasy football last season, and he did most of this with an injured Marques Colston. Well, Colston is back and Brees looks as good as ever. I predict another monster season.
2. Tom Brady: I'd be tempted to put him at #1, but his rustiness could be an issue at the beginning of the season and it remains to be seen how well he's recovered from injury. He's looked strong in the preseason, but that's no sure thing. Now that we've thrown out the risk factors, Brady is a fantasy stud and could easily be the best in football.
3. Peyton Manning. Manning is a fixture in fantasy football circles, and the benchmark of consistency. Few picks, many yards, and an abundance of TDs. Manning seems to have not slowed down just yet, and he should be himself this upcoming season.
4. Aaron Rodgers - QB - Green Bay Packers: 341/546, 4,038 Yards, 28 TD's, 13 INT's, 4 300 YD Games: Rodgers had a very impressive first year in 2008. He had more Yards, TD's, and less throws than Peyton Manning. Rodgers also had 4 Rushing Touchdowns, which is really impressive for a QB. He was one of the only Quarterbacks to rush for 200 yards. Rodgers returns his to favorite targets in Greg Jennings and Donald Driver. Also the Packers running game should be much more effective than last year.
5. Philip Rivers - QB - San Diego Chargers: 312/478, 4,009 Yards, 34 TD's, 11 INT's, 5 300 YD Games: Rivers would have been ahead of Rodgers in my rankings if Rodgers did not have 4 Rushing TD's. Rivers will have another very impressive year in 2009. Last season his running game was bothered with nagging injuries. This year with LT back to full health, Rivers will have even more open receivers to get the ball to, he showed he can do that with ease last year.
6. Kurt Warner: Warner was one of fantasy football's best last season, thanks to a revival year. While he could very well do the same thing this season, his age is somewhat concerning as he's more prone to injury with each year. Still, Boldin and Fitzgerald on your team makes it hard to pass you up.
7. Tony Romo - QB - Dallas Cowboys: 276/450, 3,448 Yards, 26 TD's, 14 INT's, 6 300 YD Games: Romo had an ok year in 2008. With other QB's having better year's than him I put him here because he really is a good QB. I know he can be a baby and all but he really gets the job done and tends to fall out at the end of the season. Romo will have a good year in 09.
8. Jay Cutler. Talk about a QB who loves to pass the ball. Cutler looked solid in Denver last season, and finds a new home in Chicago. The biggest concern is the fact that his receivers this season are less talented than they were in Denver. Time will tell if this makes a difference.
