Week 17 QB Rankings: Tom Brady Owners In For Big Day?

Posted by Ray Tannock on Dec 29, 2011 in Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Rankings

If you’re league is still competing and you just happen to own Tom Brady you, my friend, are in luck.

The Patriots must win this week against the Buffalo Bills if they are to secure home-field advantage, and ta boot, they are 22-1 in regular season home games, meaning, not only is Brady slated to play a full four, but he is also in line for a potential shootout with Ryan Fitzpatrick, making both great starts this week.

So who else?

QB Rank	Player Name	Team	Player Notes
1	Tom Brady	NE	The last of the fantasy starters who will play for four, unless an early blowout occurs.
2	Cam Newton	CAR	Newton should have a better day than usual, with some Saints starters sitting.
3	Drew Brees	NO	Brees will play, albeit limited.
4	Matthew Stafford	DET	This is a nice start, but beware of the turnovers to come.
5	Michael Vick	PHI
6	Eli Manning	NYG
7	Tony Romo	DAL
8	Philip Rivers	SD
9	Matt Ryan	ATL
10	Kyle Orton	KC	Revenge is best served cold.
11	Joe Webb	MIN	Webb will more than likely start as the Vikings will look to protect Ponder, and further evaluate Webb.
12	Tim Tebow	DEN
13	Ryan Fitzpatrick	BUF	I smell a shootout!
14	Mark Sanchez	NYJ
15	Josh Freeman	TB
16	Matt Hasselbeck	TEN
