Fantasy Football 2009 Week 4 Quarterback Rankings

by Joe Tailgate on September 29, 2009

1. Peyton Manning (Indianapolis Colts) vs. Seattle – Peyton is up to his old tricks lighting up defenses and score boards. 9 TDs, and only 2 INts. He is on a tear and it is Seattle’s turn to get tore up. Manning is # 1 this week 325/3

2. Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) @ Minnesota – Rodgers has quietly put up some good fantasy numbers. 714 yards and 4 TDs with 0 INTs. This week he faces a Vikings defense that had the pleasure of playing against greats such as, Brady Quinn, Matthew Stafford, and Shaun Hill in the first 3 weeks. Rodgers will show them what a real QB can do. 300+ 2 TD.

3. Jay Cutler (Chicago Bears) vs. Detroit – This week’s charity points are being donated to Jay Cutler on behalf of the Detroit Lions. Cutler is on a 2 game tear and the Lions are the 29th ranked pass defense.

4. Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints) vs. New York Jets – Normally Brees would be in the top 3, but if the Jets defense is as good as they say. He will only be able to perform at a 4th ranked level. Which is still pretty damn good. It’s very possible he just kills the Jets secondary, but a 280/2 day seems fair.

5. Philip Rivers (San Diego Chargers) @ Pittsburgh – The Steelers are falling apart a little bit up in Pittsburgh. The defense is still damn good, but without Troy Polamalu the Steelers is defense is ranked 15th against the pass, against 2nd last season. Rivers will have himself a nice day this week in Pittsburgh.

Fantasy Football 2009 Week 4 Prep Injuries and Waiver Wire

Injuries

49ers RB Frank Gore is suffering from a high ankle strain and likely will miss at least the next two games, according to a league source. The hope is that he could return after the 49ers’ Week 6 bye. “It happened,” coach Mike Singletary said following the game. “But I had every bit of confidence in Glen Coffee going into the game and did not blink.”

UPDATE *** Chad Pennington has a torn capsule in his throwing shoulder and is awaiting a second opinion, ESPN’s Chris Mortenson reports via Twitter. Pennington is expected to miss the rest of the season.

Dolphins QB Chad Pennington was knocked out of Sunday’s game against the Chargers with an injury to his right shoulder. Pennington was thrown to the ground after throwing an incomplete pass on third-and-7 from the Dolphins 40. He was slow to get up, then once he got to the sideline, took off his helmet and shoulder pads and had a bag of ice on his shoulder. The Dolphins might be without quarterback Chad Pennington for next week’s AFC clash against the Buffalo Bills.

Patriots RB Laurence Maroney left Sunday’s game against the Falcons in the second quarter with a thigh injury, finished up with four carries for 17 yards in the Patriots’ win. We’ll track Maroney’s status in the coming days.

Lions RB Kevin Smith suffered a shoulder injury during the second half of Detroit’s win against the Redskins and did not return. The Lions wouldn’t comment on the severity of the injury, but it appeared significant.

“Yeah, Kevin’s got a shoulder and Kevin was running extremely well,” said head coach Jim Schwartz. “He was running physical and was giving hits, taking hits, and things like that. “He’s got a shoulder (injury), I don’t know where it’s going to be. We’ll have a lot of tests he’ll wind up doing tomorrow.”

Rams QB Marc Bulger will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of an injury sustained to his throwing shoulder during the team’s loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Bulger said he was injured when he was hit by Aaron Kampman as he was cocking to throw then went back out on the field for the Rams’ next offensive series, but he aggravated the injury trying to recover a fumble by running back Steven Jackson.

Rams WR Laurent Robinson exited the game against Green Bay in the second quarter with a lower right leg injury.

Fantasy Football 2009 Week 3 Quarterback Rankings

Post image for Fantasy Football 2009 Week 3 Quarterback Rankings

1. Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints) @ Buffalo Bills – Do I really need to explain this? Brees is the Best QB in the NFL right now. Nobody can stop him.

2. Peyton Manning (Indianapolis Colts) @ Arizona – Peyton and Kurt Warner are going to light up the scoreboards against each other in week 3. And if you own Manning this is exactly the type of game you love. Sit back, relax and enjoy another 300+ yard game and at least 2 TDs.

3. Tom Brady (New England Patriots) vs. Atlanta – Brady got his ass beat up last week against the Jets defense. My Jets still haven’t allowed a TD. This week against Atlanta he may find himself smack dab in the middle of the other shoot out of week 3. Brady will be looking to bounce back against the Falcons who just allowed Jake Delhomme to have a 300 yard game.

4. Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) @ St. Louis – Threw for 261 yards and a TD last week. Kinda expected more against the Bengals. Kinda had him ranked first. Either way the numbers were still solid, and he has an easier match up this week against the Rams. The Rams have been giving up over 250 yards a game to QBs and 1.5 TDs.

5. Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons) @ New England – 549 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT. That is not a bad 2 week stat line. Ryan New England will be playing pissed after the JETS loss. Ryan will be playing catch u with Brady and the Pats, which means plenty of passing. And he’s got plenty of options to throw to. 275/2

Week 1 Rants and Raves

How about Joe Flacco. What a lock yo. That was lame, but Joe’s game Sunday wasn’t. He threw for 307 yards and 3 touchdowns. Along with a pick but that’s ok.

Tony Romo had himself a pretty dope day as well. He rocked to the tune of 353 yards and 3 touchdowns.

How awesome is Reggie Wayne? The guy catches everything. This week Reggie hauled in 10 passes for 162 yards and a TD.

Now Adrian Peterson is a sick, sick, man. Did you see him tear up Cleveland’s defense? 180 yards on 25 carries and 3 touchdowns? You can’t be serious. He is on pace for 2,880 yards rushing and 48 touchdowns.

Speaking of “you can’t be serious” Drew Brees can’t be serious. 358 yards and 6 touchdowns. Drew will be this year’s MVP. No doubt in my mind. Can’t wait to go to New Orleans for the Jets game on Oct. 4th to check this guy out. He is my man-crush. [click to continue…]

Bears Backer has a bunch of Bears talking about Brett Favre’s return to the NFC North. And the Fantasy Phenoms talk about how Brett Favre will impact the fantasy football world. But who really cares about Favre, let’s get to the new kid in NY, Mark Sanchez (Joe Sports Fan). But if you absolutely need to see Favre playing against his old Packers team at Lambeau, Midwest Sports Fans has an interesting piece on ticket prices.

If you haven’t already seen Chad Ochocinco kicking in the Bengals pre-season game, watch the video over at Sports Rubbish.

Have you ever reaslly wanted to know how to argue about college football, Zoner Sports will give a step-by-step guide. And for the love of god, would the college BCS arguements just simply go away.(The Bachelor Guy)

I really can’t believe Tom Cable broke his assistants jaw. I really can’t believe he was demoted and fired. Either can the guys over at Bootlegger Sports.

Hot Broads While Cheryl Cole, or Tweedy may have Sharapova’s Thigh’s Thigh of the week, Don Chavez likes the way Carolina Baldini ass is looking. If your more of a boob guy, and see a nice rack as motivation, go over to Gunaxin and look atsome of the best boob themed motivational posters.
