Top 32 Fantasy Quarterbacks

  1. Peyton Manning, Broncos
  2. Aaron Rodgers, Packers
  3. Drew Brees, Saints
  4. Andrew Luck, Colts
  5. Matthew Stafford, Lions
  6. Matt Ryan, Falcons
  7. Nick Foles, Eagles
  8. Cam Newton, Panthers
  9. Tony Romo, Cowboys
  10. Tom Brady, Patriots
  11. Colin Kaepernick, 49ers
  12. Russell Wilson, Seahawks
  13. Robert Griffin III, Redskins
  14. Jay Cutler, Bears
  15. Philip Rivers, Chargers
  16. Andy Dalton, Bengals
  17. Carson Palmer, Cardinals
  18. Ben Roesthlisberger, Steelers
  19. Josh McCown, Buccaneers
  20. Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins
  21. Alex Smith, Chiefs
  22. E.J. Manuel, Bills
  23. Eli Manning, Giants
  24. Joe Flacco, Ravens
  25. Johnny Manziel, Browns
  26. Teddy Bridgewater, Vikings
  27. Sam Bradford, Rams
  28. Matt Schaub, Raiders
  29. Michael Vick, Jets
  30. Chad Henne, Jaguars
  31. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Texans
  32. Jake Locker, Titans

Manning is still the top guy, Rodgers and maybe Brees will go in 1st round or early 2nds.  After that there is a gap to me.  I'd wait awhile.  QBs ranked 4-13 may not be separated by all that much.

The health of Tom Brady's weapons scare me.  The health of Robert Griffin III himself, scares me.  Cam Newton doesn't have any weapons.  Nick Foles will throw more INTs this year, but how many more?  

Manziel and Bridgewater are the only rookies on the Top 32 as we stand right now mid-August.  They should start Week 1 but we have to wait and see.  Little value in normal leagues, but dynasties or those stupid 2-QB leagues they could be drafted.  

I'll have RB - WR - TE - Sleepers - Rookies throughout the month.  

The Sports Hub Fantasy Football Show starts on Sunday, August 24th (8:00-10:00am), and will run every Sunday throughout the regular season.

Keefe Presents: Top 10 Quarterbacks


You always hear on TV and radio shows about, "this guy is a Top 10 receiver, oh he's a Top 5 corner, or they got a Top 10 quarterback." This type of hyperbole is tossed around all the time. But do the people who say it actually have a Top 5, Top 10, or Top 32 list on hand, where are they pulling this stuff from? More often then not they're just like Dick Vitale who will name like 9 teams he says will make the Final 4.

Well look no further. In what will be titled "Keefe Presents: Top 10 (NFL Position)" I'll map out the Top 10 players at each position in the league. These are NOT fantasy rankings, you wouldn't need me to do that. It's also not the 10 guys you would want to build a franchise with, it is simply the 10 best players at each position right now. Today begins with Quarterbacks.

1. Tom Brady, Patriots
2. Peyton Manning, Colts
3. Drew Brees, Saints
4. Philip Rivers, Chargers
5. Aaron Rodgers, Packers
6. Michael Vick, Eagles
7. Matt Ryan, Falcons
8. Ben Roesthlisberger*, Steelers
9. Matt Schaub, Texans
10. Josh Freeman, Buccaneers

*Accused Rapist

These lists have already proved that they will be harder to fill out than I thought. The top 7-8 QBs are pretty easy in my opinion, but the order is obviously tricky. I nearly put Peyton #1, but some of his playoff struggles/chokes have bumped him down to 2 behind Brady.

There are definitely a handful of guys that you could argue are better than Schaub and Freeman, but my whole point is be consistent. These are the QBs I will say are in the Top 10. I can't add anyone else or that just wouldn't be a Top 10 list anymore.

Say what you mean and mean what you say. Stay tuned for the rest of the positions in the Award** Winning Keefe Presents: Top 10s.

Coming up next: Runningbacks

**Not actual Award.
