Super Bowl XLVI Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings

Here are the Lester’s Legends quarterback rankings for Super Bowl XLVI. It is a matchup of two of the elite quarterbacks in football. They are both cool under pressure and have delivered on the biggest stage.

Eli entered the season with questions about whether or not he was elite. He had the confidence to say he was.

I think he put that question to bed, throwing for more yards this year than his brother ever did. It’s not that Eli has better weapons; he just has more traditional ones, with three great wide receivers.

Victor Cruz emerged as one of the game’s best deep threats this year. He has the ability to take the ball to the house at any time. Hakeem Nicks has that same knack but is much tougher to bring down. Mario Manningham completes the trio.

Tom Brady has Wes Welker, who is nearly impossible to cover. He is so quick off the ball, and he's fearless. He caught 11 passes in Super Bowl XLII, and another double-digit game is not out of the question. Deion Branch, the Super Bowl XXXIX MVP, knows how to step up in a big game.

Brady’s most challenging weapons, though, are his tight ends. Rob Gronkowski (ankle) is hurt, but even a 80% Gronk is a tall order. He is so good in the red zone.

Aaron Hernandez could play a bigger role for the Patriots with Gronk at less than full strength. I could see Hernandez having more yards and Gronk more scores.

This truly should be a pretty even matchup for the Super Bowl XLVI quarterbacks. I just give Tom Brady a slight edge.
