Bye weeks don't start until Week 4, but I'm writing this now for those yet to draft, or for those who don't want to wait until the last minute to find a viable bye week QB replacement. Once the regular season is underway, Top Fantasy Football will keep this list updated as quarterbacks get injured or someone new emerges unexpectedly, like Matt Cassel last year.

You can see our most recent QB rankings here, but the top 12 are Brees, P. Manning, Brady, Rivers, Rodgers, Cutler, Palmer, Romo, McNabb, Schaub, Ryan, and Warner.

Guys outside of top 12 QB rankings that I recommend grabbing as a back up during the draft are Matt Hasselbeck, David Garrard, Ben Roethlisberger, and Brett Favre. If you miss out on one of them, I would not waste roster space on a second QB until your Bye Week unless you’re in a deep league with bench space to spare. Grab depth elsewhere for trade and injury purposes.
