Let's talk about QBs in fantasy football this year. It has always been one of the toughest positions for me in a draft because I am usually not willing to take on early enough to get one of the best guys, and so I end up waiting forever because every time my pick comes around again all of the guys left on the board look the same to me. I end up deciding I will get one next time, and that goes on for 5 rounds.
In the last couple of years I have started looking at positions in tiers (I know that is not something new, but I have never really done it before) and looking at the QB numbers from last year I came up with the tiers after the jump:
Tier 1
Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and believe it or not Matt Schaub
Tier 2
Brett Favre, Tom Brady, Tony Romo, Ben Roethlisberger*, and Philip Rivers
Tier 3
Jay Cutler, Eli Manning Donovan McNabb, Jason Campbell
Tier 4
David Garrard, Kyle Orton, Carson Palmer*, Joe Flacco*
Tier 5
Matt Ryan*, Matt Cassel, Matt Hasselbeck, Chad Henne, Alex Smith
Again, that is based on last year's numbers. Here are my comments- Rapelisberger has to go down a tier because he will miss 4 games.
Palmer, Flacco and Ryan will all move up at least 1 tier this year. Ryan might move up two.
With the exception of the above mentioned tier movers, Vince Young is a better option than any of the guys in 4 and 5. Book it!
