QB - #25 |
Derek Anderson had a superb year last season. The line gave him plenty of time to throw and he took advantage of an under appreciated group of receivers. To make things even better, he now has Donte' Stallworth joining Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow and Joe Jurevicius as his receivers. With that group to throw to and a year getting comfortable with the passing gam... Read More

Unranked |
Unless you have been living on the moon the past year you would know that Tom Brady had one of the best seasons ever for a QB. He set career highs in completions, QB ratings, yards, yards per attempt, TD passes (NFL record 50 TD passes) and a season low of interceptions of 8. For years Brady was able to put up solid numbers with only a decent receiving corps. It wa... Read More

QB - #2 |
Drew Brees is coming off a season in which he set career highs in attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns, and interceptions. Brees should continue to put up good numbers in a pass happy offense in 2008. While Brees may have a slight decline in numbers this season, he is still a safe pick to finish the year in the top 10 quarterbacks. Brees has significant talent aro... Read More

QB - #5 |
Peyton Manning enters the 2008 season as the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback. Manning is coming off a typical season for him, throwing for more than 4000 yards and 31 touchdowns. Manning could be even better this season with the emergence of Anthony Gonzalez as a very good third wide receiver. Manning has tremendous weapons surrounding him and should have 400... Read More

QB - #31 |
Carson Palmer enters the 2008 season as the Bengals starting quarterback. Palmer had a good season in 2007, throwing for more than 4100 yards with 26 touchdowns and 20 interceptions. The Bengals will want Palmer to cut down on his interceptions, but his yardage and touchdown numbers are steadily in the top ten each year. Palmer should put up another season worthy of t...

QB - #17 |
Ben Roethlisberger enters the 2008 season as a top ten fantasy quarterback. Roethlisberger is coming off his best season in which he threw for 3154 yards, 32 touchdowns, and only 11 interceptions in 15 starts. Big Ben also added two rushing touchdowns to push his total to 34 touchdowns. This was by far Roethlisberger's best season and he should continue to produce at ... Read More

QB - #1 |
Now that his dating exploits have become weekly fodder for US Weekly and other tabloids, one almost forgets how stellar Tony Romo was as a fantasy quarterback last season. In his first full season as a starter, Romo was arguably the best QB this side of Tom Brady, tossing 36 touchdowns and throwing for 4,211 yards. He threw multiple touchdown passes in 12 of the op...
