2011-12 NFL Playoffs: Divisional Round Fantasy Football QB Rankings

Here are the Lester’s Legends quarterback rankings for the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

1. Drew Brees @ San Francisco 49ers: Brees is playing out of his mind. Every week he seems to shatter records. Playing on the road will be a challenge, but he’ll be up for it.

2. Aaron Rodgers vs. New York Giants: Rodgers was nearly flawless this year and should be on fire, but the way the Giants’ defensive line is playing keeps him out of my top slot.

3. Tom Brady vs. Denver Broncos:  There just doesn’t seem to be a way to stop all of Brady’s weapons. Josh McDaniels was brought on board to make sure the offense isn’t compromised with Bill O’Brien splitting duties with Penn State. Risky move, but Brady and Belichick have what it takes to pull it off. 

4. Eli Manning @ Green Bay Packers: Manning is an elite quarterback, fantasy or otherwise. The Giants are going to put some pressure on the champs.

5. Tim Tebow @ New England Patriots: They meet again. Tebow proved himself all over again in the win over the Steelers. He should put up decent fantasy numbers with his arm and his feet—just not enough to get the W.

6. Alex Smith vs. New Orleans Saints: The Niners defense will slow the Saints, but they will still likely score around 30. Smith is going to have to get Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis involved to stand a chance.

7. Joe Flacco vs. Houston Texans: Flacco has been there before, which keeps him out of the eight spot, but this game will be about Ray Rice.

8. T.J. Yates @ Baltimore Ravens: Houston’s recipe will be a heavy run once again. Having Andre Johnson does help, but this is going to be a physical game.
