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.

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 3 Fantasy Football Prep – Waiver Wire and Injuries

in Fantasy Football

Waiver Wire

***UPDATED***Jaguars WR Mike Sims-Walker – Troy Williamson left the game with a shoulder injury and Sims-Walker had 101 yards and a TD. If Williamson stays out, this guy will be a decent option.

Jacksonville placed receiver Troy Williamson on the injured reserve on Monday, after he sustained a torn labrum in his right shoulder Sunday during the Jags’ loss to Arizona. Williamson’s absence means the Jags will promote Mike Sims-Walker to the No. 2 receiving spot.

Bills QB Trent Edwards – Edwards had a good game against Tampa Bay. throwing for 230 and 2 TDs. Next week he is going to be passing all day to try and keep up with Drew Brees.

Eagles QB Kevin Kolb – Kolb had great numbers against the Saints except for the 2 INTs. 391 yds, 2TDs. He can be a good fill in for next week against the Chiefs.

Giants WRs Mario Manningham and Steve Smith - Both of these guys may be available, and both of them had 10 catches on Sunday Night against the Cowboys.

Rams WR Laurent Robinson – Donnie Avery is struggling and Robinson is getting the looks. 141 yards and 2 TDs in the first 2 weeks.

Eagles TE Brent Celek – 2 weeks, 2 stud performances. 8 grabs for 104 yards.

Fantasy Football 2009 Week 2 Quarterback Rankings

1. Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) vs Cincinnati – How dare you rank Rodgers 1 this week after only 184 yards and 1 TD last week? Rodgers is better then that stat line and he will show it this week against a rough Bengals secondary. They played well last week against Kyle Orton and the Broncos, But Rodgers is just better and will play that way.

2. Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints) @ Philadelphia – Philadelphia has a good defense, but no one will stop Drew Brees this year. He absolutely lit up the Detroit secondary last. Although my cousin Eric could light the Lions secondary up. But even 360 yards and 6 TDs is alot for E-Rock. Look for Brees to come back down to earth but still with close or just above 300 yards and at least 2 TDs.

3. Peyton Manning (Indianapolis Colts) @ Miami – The Dolphins defensive backfield did a decent job holding Matt Ryan to 229 yards and 2 TDs in week 1. But he is not Peyton Manning yet. Manning will have a good day as usual against a middle of the road secondary. Miami had problems containing Tony Gonzalez so they should have a ton of fun with Dallas Clark.

4. Tom Brady (New England Patriots) @ New York Jets – Another Jets home opener, another visit from the Pats. Brady is just fine from his injury. True story here folks… Monday Night the Pats were down 24-13, I took my dog for a walk and come back, Patriots won 25-24. I looked at the TV and said “What the Fuck?” And Tom Brady was being interviewed and I was suddenly no longer surprised. He’s a bad man, and even though the Jets defense might seem legit, Brady will get his near 300 yards and a couple TDs.

5. Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons) vs. Carolina – Ryan had a pretty darn good game on Sunday against Miami. Matty Ice threw for 229 yards and 2 TDs. The Panthers got smashed last week and Atlanta wants to go for the kill and start thier division rival at 0-2. Ryan will have plenty to do with that task.

6. Matt Hasselbeck (Seattle Seahawks) @ San Francisco - Hasselbeck had a good day last week against a very weak defense. St. Louis just could not handle all of his weapons, and TE John Carlson was the man. San Francisco’s defense did well against the Cardinals offense last week, but Arizona has no run game, and are just not meshing right now. Matt and the Hawks offense are meshing quite well with new WR TJ Who’s your mama. So another 279 yard 3 TD day is very possible for MH this week. [click to continue…]

2009 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings

Tier One

1-1(1) - Drew Brees– It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Brees is an Elite # 1 Quarterback in the NFL. He fell 15 yards short of breaking Dan Marino’s yards record ending the season with an astounding 5,069 yards. He also tossed 34 TDs against 17 INTs. It wouldn’t be fair to expect another 5,000 yard season, but another 35 TDs is not out of the question in the pass happy bayou. And if Marques Colston can stay healthy the whole year, Brees will be able to top the QB ranks through 2009.

1-2(2) - Peyton Manning – Manning is probably the safest pick in all of Fantasy Football. Unless injured, which never happens he hasn’t missed a game yet, Manning will deliver # 1 numbers. The loss of Marvin Harrison will have no ill effects on Peyton’s passing game. He still managed over 4,000 yards and 37 TDs without him. He got off to a rough start with the bursa sac heard around the world, but with a full, healthy offseason, expect Peyton to be back to his old tricks.

1-3(3) - Tom Brady – Brady rounds out what would be considered the “tier 1” Quarterbacks. The mere fact the Patriots were willing to trade Matt Cassel is reason enough for us to believe Tom will be playing at a high level once again in 2009.

Tier Two

2-1(4) - Phillip Rivers – Rivers tied Brew Brees for the NFL lead in touchdown passes with 34. He only threw 11 picks against Drew’s 17, and threw for over 4,000 yards. He has a solid receiving corp in Vincent Jackson and Chris Chambers, and of course Antonio Gates. Don’t forget, a simple screen to Darren Sproles can easily lead to an 80 yard TD pass. Rivers will, without a doubt, be a #1 fantasy QB in 2009.

2-2(5) - Tony Romo – Can Romo get it done without TO. Absolutely, and maybe even better. Roy Williams is a very talented WR and will fill TO’s vacancy well. The problem lies in the # 2 WR spot. Miles Austin or Patrick Crayton will need to step up to keep extra defenders off Jason Witten. The 3 headed RB corp of Marion Barber, Felix Jones, and Tashard Choice will only help open up the field for Tony. Romo has a bit of a turnover problem but maybe without TO breakin’ his balls every play, he won’t force the ball around the field. [click to continue…]
