Fantasy Positional Rankings: QB's

Each week I will be compiling a list of preliminary positional rankings.  This is a list to help out (or hurt) teams heading into auctions or early drafts.  This week’s spotlight position is QB.  Also, check out our weekly webcast for a more in depth discussion.

1. Tom Brady - New England:  Won’t be as good in 2008, but still puts up the best fantasy numbers.
2. Peyton Manning - Indy:  Another solid year with or without Harrison.
3. Tony Romo - Dallas:  Did not draft a WR as expected, but still has plenty of talent.
4. Drew Brees - New Orleans:  New Orleans improved itself in the off-season and Drew’s numbers will show it.
5. Carson Palmer - Cincy:  Even without Chad Johnson or Henry, the Cincy offense will still put up a ton of fantasy points.
6. Derek Anderson - Cleveland:  Has to look over his shoulder a bit. but in the end is his job to lose.  Barring an injury, Anderson should start the whole season.
7. Donovan McNabb - Philly:  Another draft, another year of not helping McNabb.  Donovan still finds a way to put up good fantasy numbers.
8. Ben Roethlisberger - Pitt:  Big Ben gets another big weapon in Sweed.  Add in Mendenhall and Ben is looking at a great season.
9. Matt Hasselbeck - Seattle:  Matt is solid year in, year out.  This year will be no different.
10. Marc Bulger - St. Louis:  Same as Hasselbeck.  Marc is always an injury concern though.
11. Eli Manning - NYG:  Eli will have some spectactular games, but will also have some stinkers.
12. David Garrard - Jacksonville:  Garrard isn’t a stat monster, but he is fairly consistant.  He will give you 1-3 TD’s and 200-300 yards a week.
13. Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay:  Finally gets his shot and has a loaded offense to work with.  Aaron will be looking over his shoulder a bit, in the end he gets the job done.
14. Philip Rivers - San Diego:  Knee is a bit of a concern.  If healthy, Rivers has enough weapons around him to put up solid #1 fantasy QB numbers.
15. Jay Cutler - Denver:  Diabetes diagnosis is a bit of a concern, as are the Brandon Marshall problems.  Cutler will find a way to show he is Denver’s next great QB.
16. Matt Schaub - Houston:  Schaub wins the starting job in the preseason.  Throwing to Andre Johnson automatically raises any QB’s value.
17. Jon Kitna - Detroit:  Detroit plays from behind a ton.  Kitna will see many chances each game to throw the ball.
18. Jake Delhomme - Carolina:  Coming back from Tommy John surgery, looks good so far.  Carolina would like to get 1 or 2 more years out of Jake so they can slowly develop Matt Moore.
19. Matt Leinart - Arizona:  Leinart gets his starting job back and has multiple weapons in the desert.  Leinart owners HAVE to also own Kurt Warner as an insurance policy.
20. Jeff Garcia - Tampa Bay:  The Bucs have a logjam at QB.  Garcia is the cream of the crop though.  Look for Garcia to get paid and start for Tampa Bay.
21. Vince Young - Tennessee:  The Titans really did nothing to help Vince in the draft.  While Vince has no worries about losing his job, he still doesn’t have much value as a fantasy QB.
22. Jason Campbell - Washington:  This is a make or break year for Campbell.  All the weapons are in place for him now.  Jason needs to produce or we will see Todd Collins.
23. Alex Smith - San Fran:  Alex Smith wins the starting job for the 49er’s.  Like Campbell, this is a make or break year for Smith though.
24. Kellen Clemens - NYJ:  Wins the Jets starting QB job based on his arm strength over Pennington.  Clemens will struggle throughout the season, but has some weapons that will bail him out from time to time.
25. Trent Edwards - Buffalo:  Added about 10 pounds of lean muscle in the off-season and is ready to lead this young Bills offense.  Edwards will look excellent at times, but will also make rookie mistakes at other times.
