| Jay Cutler |

QB - #11 |
|
With one full season under his belt throwing 20 TDs and nearly 3,500 yards, Jay Cutler is comfortably a top 15 quarterback. He has a revised set of receivers in Colbert, Marshall, Parker and Stokley. Heck, throw Darrell Jackson in the mix and Cutler's got lots of choices. Jay could break into the top 10 in ranks before too long this season. With Ryan Clad... Read More

| Matt Hasselbeck |
QB |
SEA |

QB - #9 |
After posting career bests in passing touchdowns, passing attempts, and passing yardage in 2007, Matt Hasselbeck looks like a legitimate top-flight fantasy quarterback. Some of his success in 2008 will hinge on the outcome of Bobby Engram's contract dispute and on Deion Branch's health, but he should benefit from the additional backfield options the Seahawks have brou...

QB - #15 |
Unfortunately for 2007 fantasy owners of Eli Manning, he waited till the playoffs to really show his best form.

All that changed during the playoffs last year when he ... Read More

QB - #8 |
| As the straw that stirs the drink for the entire Eagles squad, Donovan McNabb was sipping from the cup of mediocrity much of last season, but he should be ready for one more Pro Bowl type season.
Still dealing with the lingering effects of his knee injuries, McNabb was the textbook definition of hot and cold in 2007. He finished with a respectable 19 touchd... Read More

| Philip Rivers |
QB |
SD |

4 |
QB - #19 |
Philip Rivers had a good season in 2007. Last year's campaign was not quite his 2006 season, but close. Rivers' ACL reconstruction went well and he says he is completely ready for camp. Rivers will need to really focus on utilizing his resources effectively and avoid the interceptions this year. Rivers is a solid QB for fantasy teams this season, but I also think that... Read More
