Week 14 Fantasy Football Rankings: Top 30 Quarterbacks

Here are my top 30 quarterbacks for fantasy Week 14.

This countdown doesn't lean on a particular stat. It's merely an educated early guess of which signal-callers will have the best combination of total yards (passing/rushing) and total touchdowns this weekend.

Regardless of how these rankings shake out every week, it shouldn't supersede two important factors that go into regular lineup consideration:

1. Always play your healthy superstars.

2. Always ride your gut instinct over a certain guru's analysis.

Quick Hitters

1. Here's one significant thread to the Broncos' seven-game winning streak: Peyton Manning has thrown for 285 yards passing or three TD passes for Weeks 6-13.

2. Aaron Rodgers (3,124 yards passing, 29 TD) has averaged only 219 yards passing and two touchdowns at Lambeau this season—a middling line that clashes with Rodgers' four-TD home outings against New Orleans (Week 4) and Arizona (Week 9).

3. Perhaps Cam Newton should hold the No. 1 spot. He has amassed 668 total yards and seven touchdowns in the last two games. And against the Falcons in Week 4, Newton rolled for 301 total yards (215 passing) and three TDs.

4. Ryan Fitzpatrick has a good news/bad news pattern at home this season. He's averaging only 207 yards passing...but 2.4 touchdowns per contest.
