From now until “draft season”, I’ll be giving individual position rankings, starting with the top 10 quarterbacks. Stay tuned for other positions, and please feel free to share the blog, thanks! 

Note : The list will change occasionally from now until draft time (Late Aug.), so stay tuned! Latest update : May 10

1. Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay Packers

Following another MVP season, we have Green Bay QB, Aaron Rodgers at number one on our list. Rodgers still has the big name weapons like Jordy Nelson, and Randall Cobb, and also has a great running back in Eddie Lacy, which will give the Packers more play calling options, allowing Rodgers to get better results in his passing plays. Rodgers’ ability to get out of the pocket and create a play is still so impressive, and he can make a huge play from almost anywhere down the field. It’s no surprise that Aaron Rodgers is our #1 Quarterback heading into 2015.  

 

2. Andrew Luck – Indianapolis Colts

He’s taking the league by storm, and he’s doing it at a very young age. At 25 years old, Andrew Luck can make plays in the air, and on the run. Luck continues to make smart plays, and lead his team to many impressive victories. New weapon Andre Johnson said that Luck’s “probably the best Quarterback I’ve ever had”. It should be exciting seeing those two hook up this season.  

 

3. Peyton Manning – Denver Broncos

Following the awful loss against the Colts last post season, many thought Manning would call his career quits, but like I predicted, he’ll be playing at least one more year in Denver. Regardless of all the injuries he secretly still has, I still have faith that Manning will have a great 2015 season. His game is nowhere near to gone, and this year is another test to prove that, a test I think he’ll pass. Sure losing TE Julius Thomas might hurt him, but he’s Peyton Manning. He can throw to anyone, and instantly make them look better, he should be fine.  

 

4. Russell Wilson – Seattle Seahawks

For a while, the biggest piece to the Seahawks team that was missing was a muscled pass catcher. Well they sure fixed that problem with the addition of former New Orleans Tight End, Jimmy Graham. Graham should give Wilson a lot more passing yards, and passing Touch Downs this season, and should continue his success on the ground again. On our Top 100 Player Rankings list (https://worldofawb.wordpress.com/2015/05/09/fantasy-football-alex-berger-top-100-player-rankings/ ) we have Wilson edged with Manning. That’s how close those two are right now. If you can’t have Manning, Wilson is the next best thing.  

 

5.Tom Brady – New England Patriots

I still remember last year when I had Brady on my roster, and gave up on him after three weeks. Worst decision I’ve made throughout my Fantasy Football career so far. I learned two lessons in that : 1. Never drop a player until at least 5 weeks.  2. Never drop Tom Brady. After about four weeks of struggling, Brady and the Pats got on a groove, and eventually would win the Super Bowl, Brady’s fourth. Of course when I dropped Brady, someone else had picked him up, so that was that. I’m just lucky that move didn’t hurt me in the end. Anyways though, if Brady doesn’t get a huge suspension due to the deflate gate bologna, he’ll be anywhere from a top 6 quarterback. Plus, having Rob Gronkowski helps a lot too.  

 

6. Matt Ryan – Atlanta Falcons

After a bad 2014 season, I think the Atlanta Falcons could make a test for a post season appearance again. If offensive weapons like Julio Jones  can remain healthy, then Ryan and the Falcons can definitely succeed. Ryan helped me win my championship last season, and I would have complete faith putting him back on my team again this season! Ryan’s a great quarterback, that won’t cost you a first round pick,or even second or third really. Ryan gets the job done, and is a very prominent QB1.  

 

7. Drew Brees – New Orleans Saints

The loss of Graham should hurt Brees, but I still think he has decent weapons. Brandin Cooks should have another good season, and I think Marques Colston could as well. Although Brees throws a lot of picks, he always seems to put up a lot of passing yards, and boat loads of Touchdowns. Feel confident in taking Drew Brees.  

 

8. Ben Roethlisberger – Pittsburgh Steelers

By having the #1 Fantasy WR last season, and he’ll probably be #1 this season, in Antonio Brown, Big Ben has the potential to be a top 10 QB this season. Another weapon Ben has that I like is WR Martavius Bryant. The duo of Bryant and Brown should keep defenses busy, and should give Roethlisberger plenty of yards and Touch Downs. If you feel like I do and think Ben can play like he did last season, take him in a heart beat.  

 

9. Cam Newton – Carolina Panthers

Usually I’m not a fan of Cam when it comes to Fantasy, but I see good things for him this season, especially if his two main weapons play well again this season. If Kelvin Benjamin and Greg Olson have good years, most likely Cam will too. Cams rushing yards are what make him so valuable in Fantasy, and if he can keep that up, along with good passing numbers, he’ll have a good 2015.  

 

10. Tony Romo – Dallas Cowboys

If you need a QB in a later round that you can rely on to get the job done, Tony Romo’s your man. Romo has a good group of pass catchers, including Dez Bryant, and Jason Witten. Not only that, but Romo has been improving every year, and I think he’ll keep that trend going. I expect another good season out of Tony Romo.  

 

Thanks for the read, and stay tuned for other Fantasy Football advice!
