The reemergence of Brady into New England’s lineup is both a gargantuan development for the Patriots, and anyone who has selected him for their rosters. He instantly returns to face a vulnerable opponent, as Pittsburgh ranked a lowly 27th against the pass in 2014, and appears destined to struggle again this season. Owners have already received a substantial boost to their chances of winning in Week 1 by having Brady available, and can also reap the benefits of his extremely desirable matchup.
I have the two old guys, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees at the top of the list by themselves in the top tier.
Then there is a big Tier 2 from Cam Newton to Philip Rivers. This tier includes the #3-#12 ranked quarterbacks.
I kept Tom Brady where I think he should be without the suspension. He will play most of the season even with the suspension. You might could pick him up way late and it make a big difference for your team.
Then Tier 3 goes from Andy Dalton to Carson Palmer.Despite Ryan's super soft schedule I ranked him lower than most, I suspect. Yes he has Julio Jones but without a real threat at running back and a leaky offensive line Ryan's numbers won't live up to the pre-draft hype. I've got Eli ranked around #7 right now. He's loaded with talent all around him and is a sneaky pick headed into the 2015 draft. No one is looking at Eli and he has a real chance to make the top 7 QB fantasy scoring list come the end of the season. But just because he's ranked highly by me doesn't mean you draft him with a high draft pick. You can have Eli for cheap in the middle to last rounds in most drafts.- Luck feels like a sure fire number 1 at QB, but Rodgers could give him a run for his money if Green Bay gets into some shootouts.
- I like Roethlisberger to put up some big numbers in Pittsburgh's high flying offense, but he is a guy that will have a few duds.
- Russell Wilson's TD total will benefit from the addition of Jimmy Graham, but I don't know how wide open that offense will be with Marshawn Lynch still in the fold.
- Cam Newton really needs to take a step forward this year to show that he is still a top tier quarterback, he is high risk with potentially top-3 type reward. Cam falls down the draft board a bit with the loss of Kelvin Benjamin. If you think that Funchess can pick up the slack then Newton is a bargain, but I doubt it.
- I really want to rank Eli Manning higher due to his amazing receivers and the tandem of Vereen and Jennings catching passes out of the backfield. I just don't think that Manning will have adequate time and he is so prone to mistakes that it will mute some of that upside.
- Jameis Winston has the potential to put up some nice numbers, just watch out for the turnovers. There will be lots of those.
- Tom Brady falls WAY down the rankings with his four game suspension. If you can snag him at a discount, I would do it. I think that he will come back with a chip on his shoulder and he could win some weeks for owners late in the season. This is just a value pick, don't overpay on a hunch.
- Keep an eye on Tyrod Taylor now that he is starting. There will be some growing pains but he has amazing receivers and some rushing ability. He is nowhere near a starting lineup for the moment, but that could change.
- Hoyer and Fitzpatrick are both starting for their teams, but if they're starting for your team you are in trouble. Bye week fill-ins at best.
Brady's position will be inflated (too easy) upon his return from suspension. Big Ben is poised for a big year, even without Martavis Bryant for the immediate future.
Feels strange to have Ben Roethlisberger at 3rd, yet he's got the tools the build off last season's number. Plus the Steelers bad defense could create lots of shootout games. I can't help but feel that Russell Wilson is going to be a bust this season just because of where you have to draft him. Eli Manning is quietly going outside of the top ten in most draft. He's got top five potential with all his weapons this season. Many are forgetting about Andy Dalton. All his studs are back in the lineup this year so he should easily be a top 20 guy with upside for much more.
