QB Start/Sit Rankings For Week 6: Breakout Brady Time!

October 17, 2009 by Kurt Turner

This week you might need some extra assistance at the QB position since Romo and Manning are both out with byes. Check out this ranking of QBs to determine who you should start and who you should sit.

Also, if you need some extra help with your start/sit decisions, don't be afraid to drop a line in our Start/Sit Advice here at Top Fantasy Football. We'd be happy to help!

This week Tom Brady will re-establish himself as one of the top QBs in the league with a wonderful performance against Tennessee.

Week 4 Byes: Tony Romo, Chad Henne, Peyton Manning, Shaun Hill

QB Rankings:

Ranking Quarterback Name Match up Notes
1 Aaron Rodgers DET Detroit has a terrible secondary and Rodgers is one of the top fantasy QBs? Best start of the week.
2 Tom Brady TEN If Manning can abuse Tennessee's secondary, I expect Brady to do the same.
3 Kurt Warner @SEA Seattle is one of the best match ups for QBs and Warner is healthy and waiting.
4 Donovan McNabb OAK Oakland just looks like a joke team right now. McNabb has an array of weapons to use against that sad defense.
5 Drew Brees NYG The New York Giants actually lead the league in opposing QB ratings. Drew Brees is good but this is a tough match up for him.
6 Kyle Orton @SDG San Diego has one of the worst pass rushes in the league. Kyle Orton should have no problem passing it against the Chargers.
7 Joe Flacco @MIN We know that it's tough to run the ball against Minnesota, so Flacco will have to do the dirty work for the offense.
8 Matt Hasselbeck ARI Hasselbeck showed us he was healthy last week, and he is going up against a team that has trouble against the pass.
9 David Garrard STL With Mike Sims-Walker back in uniform, expect Garrard to have a great day.
10 Ben Roethlisberger CLE Cleveland's defense is laughable right now and Roethlisberger is passing better than ever. Start him with confidence.
11 Jay Cutler ATL Only three TD passes have been scored through the air against ATL. Tough match up for a good QB makes Cutler a borderline starter.
12 Carson Palmer HOU Even though Palmer has been average in fantasy so far, don't be fooled into thinking there is no upside with him. He has the chance to break out for a great game against Houston.
13 Phillip Rivers DEN Denver's defense has been lights out. Could be a rough day for Rivers.
14 Matt Schaub @CIN Like Denver, Cincinnati's defense has been a big surprise. Schaub won't have a lot of time to pass against one of the best pass rushing teams in the league.
15 Eli Manning @NO I think New Orleans is the real deal on defense and New York will want to run the ball as much as possible. Maybe a quiet day for Manning#2
16 Marc Bulger @JAX If you are desperate, you could do worse than Marc Bulger. Jacksonville is a great match up.
17 Jason Campbell KC Jason Campbell has been a steady producer among a team full of underachievers.
18 Jake Delhomme @TAM As we all know, Tampa Bay has one of the worst passing defenses. Great match up to abuse if you need help this week at QB.
