Value Quarterbacks and The Tiers

Who Should You Value as Your Fantasy QB

Value Picks

Eli Manning

Manning had an excellent season last year in his first under the new offense. Manning threw for 30 touchdowns and had over 4400 passing yards. Manning is a back end fantasy QB1. I would have no issue having him as my guy in any format whether it's 1 or 2 QB. Manning will have a loaded group of weapons and if the offensive line can hold up Manning has an extremely high ceiling.

Tom Brady

As of now Tom Brady is suspended the first four games of the NFL season. This makes Brady a top 3 or 4 QB into a 7 or 8 and value pick. Brady would normally go as a top QB In standard leagues. In a
2 QB league he would go as a 1st or second rounder. Draft Brady with value. In a standard league
you may be able to get him in the 10th round or later. In a 2 QB league view him as a late 3rd or early 4th. When Brady returns he will be a beast as usual.

Sam Bradford

Bradford has had ACL injuries in back to back seasons. Take a look at Bradford's stats from two years ago before he was injured. Bradford was having an excellent year. He had 14 touchdowns and just 4 interceptions before going out with the injury. Bradford is still a young player and I can see him bouncing back.

The Tiers ( Tier 1 , Best of the Best)

1. A. Rodgers - He does not turn the ball over and can do everything.

2. A. Luck - Young , talented , and has plenty of weapons.

3. P. Manning - He finished the year off poorly but focus on what he did weeks 1-13.

4. D. Brees - He lost some weapons but will still be the focal point of the offense.

Tier 2 ( Excellent )

5. B. Roethlisbegrer - Had his best season in a while and is loaded with weapons.

6. T. Brady - Will miss the first 4 games , would be ranked third at the position otherwise for me.

7. M. Ryan - Ryan is always in the 28 touchdown range and this can be his best year ever. He will be consistent.

8. R. Wilson - He offers you the ability to score through the air and on the ground. Many people have him too high in my opinion.

9. T. Romo - Coming off his best year ever , expect another good one from Romo.

10. E. Manning - Loaded with weapons , coming off a excellent season.

Tier 3 ( Good )

11. C. Newton - Need to see more consistency , he can become a top 5 guy.

12. M. Stafford - Another guy who is just inconsistent but can have a monster year.

13. R. Tannehill - He broke out last season and he should be even better this year.

14. P. Rivers - Another guy who can throw for 30 scores.

Tier 4 ( I'll take a shot )

15. C. Kaepernick - The talk of the league two years ago , expect a better year than last years disappointment.

16. J. Flacco - I'm higher than most on Flacco every year. Solid year coming in 2015.

17. S. Bradford - Love him in the Philly offense , if he stays healthy he's a stud.

18. T. Bridgewater - Love what I saw down the stretch last year.

19. C. Palmer - Was having an excellent year before the injury. If he proves he's he healthy I will
move him up.

Tier 5 (Who Knows )

20. J. Cutler - Big play ability , just inconsistent and sometimes bad. I'll take a shot as a backup in a 2 QB league , pass In 1 QB. Big upside.

21. R. Griffin III - Like Cutler it's hard to give up on the talent.

22. N. Foles - Not many weapons in the Rams offense.

23. A. Smith - Great in a league that counts completions. Finally has some weapons.

24. D. Carr - Should improve In year two. Much better receiving core.

25. A. Dalton - Sometimes he looks good sometimes he looks terrible.

Tier 6 (The Rest )

26. B. Bortles - He should improve year two , played well towards the end last year.

27. J. Winston - First year QB with a lot of talent. Good receivers.

28. M. Mariota - I just don't trust the talent around him. He has the talent however.

Tier 7 ( will they start? )

29. R. Fitzpatrick - Will be starting for the Jets and he has two talented receivers. Will he keep the job from Geno ? I think so.

30. M. Cassel - Likely to start in Buffalo.

31. M. Sanchez - Handcuff for Sam Bradford.

32. B. Hoyer - I think he will win the Texans starting job.

33. R. Mallett - More upside than Hoyer. Not sure if he wins the job.

34. J. McCown - Will probably start for the Browns.

35. J. Manziel - If he can prove himself he has way more upside for the Browns and fantasy owners.

The Fantasy Football Journal

So it's that time of year again fantasy football time. It's the dog days of fantasy baseball and the beginning of football. You may have done your draft already but if not give a read (read it anyway) to,get the best experience in your fantasy league this year.

1. The most important day of your leagues year is draft day. It should be the most fun. The best way to make that happen is doing a live draft. If everyone lives close do it live. If not try to get together anyway no matter how far it is. A live draft is just better.

2. Do whatever is best for your league best. Some people might like their standard leagues some keeper or dynasty leagues. Some may like PPR or Two QB. No matter what , do the league that suits
your draftees the best , no matter what.

3. Every league has different strategies so research hard on the league type your doing. If your doing a standard league know your strategy. If your doing PPR know your strategy , if it's 2 quarterbacks know your strategy. Find a strategy that works for you.

4. Don't over draft at any position. If you miss out on an elite Quarterback do not draft a QB you can get two rounds layers. Same can be said for any position especially running back.

Tom Brady at 38

Tom Brady turns 38 today as the Patriots began training camp. Tom Brady will be suspended for the first four games of the season for his alleged role in the Deflate Gate scandal. We all no the story but the fact of the matter is if Brady was involved or not it shouldn't do anything to his legacy. Brady throws a football like no one else and many believed his career would never take off. Brady was drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft. Brady was a guy no one thought would be an NFL star let alone a starter.

Tom Brady won three Super Bowl titles very quickly in his NFL career. When Tom Brady took over for an injured Drew Bledsoe in 2001 he led the Pats to a Super Bowl title. He was the game MVP. Two years later Brady led the Pats over the Panthers in the Super Bowl and led them past the Eagles the following year. Brady led the Pats to 3 titles in a 4 year span.

After the Patriots won the title in 2004 they would continue to have dominating teams but could never get over the hump and win the title. In 2007 the Patriots had an undefeated regular season. It was the best Patriot team Brady ever played for loaded with Randy Moss and Wes Welker. When the Patriots met the New York Giants in the Super Bowl they lost the game and the undefeated season. The Patriots would make the Super Bowl again In 2011 but ultimately suffered the same demise loosing to Eli Manning and the Giants.

Tom Brady has won two MVP awards and now is a four time Super Bowl champion. Brady led a comeback win over the Seattle Seahawks. Brady was named the MVP of the game. Brady has had a marvelous career as he continues to climb up the NFL statistical leader boards. Brady will go down as one of the best to ever play the game.
