2010 Fantasy Football QB Rankings

Is Kolb a Top 10 Fantasy Threat?

Updated: August 24, 2010

A couple of months ago I got this wild idea to do redraft and dynasty rankings, and since then it’s occurred to me that most people get the basic idea that younger up and coming QBs (or players at any position) move up a bit in keeper/dynasty rankings. So rather than make to rankings for each position, we’ll stick with one, and a little common sense.

Since I wrote those first articles, we’ve had the draft, Big Ben got Little Ben some action in a night club bathroom, Chad Henne got Brandon Marshall, Carolina got Jimmy Clausen, and Donovan McNabb made Keven Kolb fantasy relevant. So this seems like a good time to get the rankings blood flowing again.

Because I’m anal retentive (insert your own joke here) I’m of course going to start all over again with the QB’s. They are the leaders of our fantasy squads.

RANK	PLAYER	TEAM	BYE	ONE LINER
1	Aaron Rodgers	GBP	10	5 years younger than Brees, and he runs too
2	Drew Brees	NOS	10	No reason he shouldn’t be in the top 2 again on ’10
3	Matt Schaub	HOU	7	No running game, no Owen Daniels, no problem
4	Peyton Manning	IND	7	Expect a slight drop off from ’09
5	Philip Rivers	SDG	10	He could end 2010 in the Top 3
6	Tony Romo	DAL	4	Better than Brady, Rivers last season + Dez Bryant
7	Tom Brady	NEP	5	Brady stays in the top 10 only because Ben drops out
8	Kevin Kolb	PHI	8	Don’t hurt yourself raising those eyebrows
9	Jay Cutler	CHI	8	A rebound season is in store with Mike Martz
10	Joe Flacco	BAL	8	Has a cannon, Ray Rice and Anquan Boldin
11	Eli Manning	NYG	8	Not flashy, but good young receivers mean points
12	Brett Favre	MIN	4	Favre is back, but with fewer tools
13	Carson Palmer	CIN	6	He has to be better than last year…right?
14	Donovan McNabb	WAS	9	Will have a chip on his shoulder in 2010. Look out
15	Matt Ryan	ATL	8	Rough sophomore year, but should rebound
16	Ben Roethlisberger	PIT	5	Out for at least 4 games to start the year
17	Chad Henne	MIA	5	Nice sleeper pick, and Brandon Marshall only helps
18	Alex Smith	SFO	9	Averaged 2 TDs a game as starter. Sleeper/keeper
19	Matt Hasselbeck	SEA	5	I think he’ll stay healthy this year. Hello Russ Okung
20	Matthew Stafford	DET	7	If he can stay healthy, he can do big things in ’10
21	David Garrard	JAX	9	If he isn’t pushed out he’s a decent #2 QB option
22	Mark Sanchez	NYJ	7	Very raw, INT prone, on a run first team
23	Jason Campbell	OAK	10	Oakland will be better with Campbell
24	Matt Moore	CAR	6	Moore has some nice sleeper upside if he keeps Clausen at bay
25	Matt Cassell	KCC	4	Dexter McCluster in the slot will help
26	Kyle Orton	DEN	9	Demaryus Williams & Tim Tebow can’t save them
27	Sam Bradford	STL	9	While the Rams said Bradford would sit in 2010, the tune seems to be changing
28	Vince Young	TEN	9	He’ll need more than 156 passing yards per game
29	Derek Anderson	ARI	6	Leinart’s fallout in the desert is Anderson’s chance
30	Josh Freeman	TBB	4	If he keeps the job he could surprise on a bad team
31	Jake Delhomme	CLE	8	Better than people give him credit for, nice WRs
32	Trent Edwards	BUF	6	Let’s see what Chan Gailey does with him

Kevin Kolb could easily eclipse 3500 yards and 25 TD this season.

  My feelings exactly. Unfortunately every one else seems to think so too because he’s going top 10 among QBs in drafts.
