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.
