Fantasy Football QB Draft Rankings

August 26, 2016

249

Ranking Quarterbacks this year might be one of the hardest things to do. In all honesty, I can see at least 20 QB’s that could end up in the top 10. It might really come down to which QB’s play in all 16 games. Miss one game this year and you might fall outside the top 10. The moral of the story is that because QB’s are so deep unless you get one of the top 4 for a steal, I might not bother with a QB until like the 9th or 10th round.

Rank	Name	Position	Team	Bye Week	Comment
1	Cam Newton	QB	CAR	7	Even if he regresses he could easily still be number 1
2	Andrew Luck	QB	IND	10	My pick for comeback player of the year.
3	Aaron Rodgers	QB	GB	4	Healthy weapons should mean a better year.
4	Ben Roethlisberger	QB	PIT	8	Can Brown get 200 receptions if Ben plays all 16.
5	Russell Wilson	QB	SEA	5	Better NFL QB than Fantasy QB. 34 TD's might be hard to repeat.
6	Eli Manning	QB	NYG	8	He might throw more this year than any other, and he might have his best weapons this year.
7	Blake Bortles	QB	JAC	5	High powered offense from top to bottom.
8	Drew Brees	QB	NO	5	Never count this guy out.
9	Carson Palmer	QB	ARI	9	Tons of weapons equals tons of points.
10	Derek Carr	QB	OAK	10	Things are coming together for this team and Carr is leading the way.
11	Matt Stafford	QB	DET	10	Marvin Jones is no Megatron, but Matt can flat out throw the ball.
12	Andy Dalton	QB	CIN	9	This man gets no respect. He was top 5 before injury last season.
13	Philip Rivers	QB	SD	11	Just like Stafford this guy can flat out throw too.
14	Ryan Tannehill	QB	MIA	8	If Parker lives up to hype he might have the top WR duo.
15	Kirk Cousins	QB	WAS	9	Truth be told I never really like that.
16	Tyrod Taylor	QB	BUF	10	Run first team and star receiver struggles to stay healthy
17	Tom Brady	QB	NE	9	This low only because everyone has a 4 game head start on him
18	Jameis Winston	QB	TB	6	Made progress as last season progressed, but needs Evans to catch the ball.
19	Marcus Mariota	QB	TEN	13	The team is better, but he can he stay healthy for 16?
20	Robert Griffin	QB	CLE	13	Browns will be behind often forcing a ton a passes and the deep ball is his best.
21	Matt Ryan	QB	ATL	11	Red zone turnovers and really tough schedule will hurt him.
22	Ryan Fitzpatrick	QB	NYJ	11	Don be fooled by 2 top 15 WR, they were just about the only 2 he threw to.
23	Tony Romo	QB	DAL	7	I have no faith he can play 6 games.
24	Jay Cutler	QB	CHI	9	If White and Jeffery both play all year, this could be a very bad ranking for me.
25	Teddy Bridgewater	QB	MIN	6	I think he is trending up, but he will always be limited as long as AP is there.
26	Joe Flacco	QB	BAL	8	Before his injury he was pressing and making bad decisions. If he stops that he could move up a lot.
27	Alex Smith	QB	KC	5	Super reliable, problem is the reliable number from him is not very high.
28	Brock Osweiler	QB	HOU	9	Has a lot to prove before I move him up.
29	Jared Goff	QB	LA	8	I just don't think he will be asked to do much this year.
30	Sam Bradford	QB	PHI	4	Every mistake Philly fans thinks he makes they will call for Wentz.
31	Blain Gabbert	QB	SF	8	I actually like Gabbert a lot, but who is he going to throw to?
32	Mark Sanchez	QB	DEN	11	I think Sanchez is Denver's best chance at winning, but with that D and their running game, they might not need a QB.
33	Trevor Siemian	QB	DEN	11
34	Paxton Lynch	QB	DEN	11
35	Colin Kaepernick	QB	SF	8
36	Nick Foles	QB	KC	5
37	Carson Wentz	QB	PHI	4
38	Josh McCown	QB	CLE	13
39	Case Keenum	QB	LA	8
40	Geno Smith	QB	NYJ	11
