2014 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings: Week 2

With an exciting opening week of football under our belts, here are the Lester’s Legends 2014 Week 2 fantasy football quarterback rankings.


1. Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos

Manning picked up where he left 2013 off by tossing three touchdowns in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. He gets the Kansas City Chiefs this week at home.

The Chiefs allowed 266 yards and a pair of touchdowns last week to Jake Locker. Manning averaged 363 yards and three touchdowns in two meetings with Kansas City last year.


2. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints

Brees threw for 333 yards and a touchdown last week against the Atlanta Falcons. They surprisingly had three rushing touchdowns, which hurt Brees' fantasy production.

Things should return to normal next week against the Cleveland Browns. Ben Roethlisberger lit them up to the tune of 365 yards and a score.

Jimmy Graham, Marques Colston, Brandin Cooks and Pierre Thomas give Brees plenty of firepower.

3.  Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions

Stafford got off to an impressive start throwing for 346 yards and two touchdowns. He even added a rushing score. Stafford now faces the Carolina Panthers.

The Panthers gave up 230 yards and two touchdowns to Derek Anderson last week. Imagine what Stafford can do against them with his weapons.


4. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Rodgers had the misfortune of playing the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL opener, which resulted in 189 yards and one touchdown. Clearly he can do much better against the New York Jets this week.

The Jets gave up two touchdown passes to Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders last week. Look for Rodgers to return to form at Lambeau Field.


5. Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts

Luck threw for 370 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Broncos. He added 19 yards and a score with his feet. He's a strong player against a Philadelphia Eagles team that allowed Chad Henne to throw for 266 yards and a pair of scores.


6.  Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons

Matty Ice exploded for 448 yards and three touchdowns against the New Orleans Saints last week. This week he faces the Cincinnati Bengals.

They were just exploited for 345 yards by Joe Flacco. Look for Ryan to spread it around to his stable of wide receivers.


7. Nick Foles, Philadelphia Eagles

It took Foles a little time to get warmed up, but he finished with 322 yards and two touchdowns. He goes up against the Colts in what should be a high-scoring affair.


8. Tom Brady, New England Patriots

Brady and the New England Patriots look to bounce back after a stinging loss to the Miami Dolphins. Brady threw for 249 yards and a score.

Look for him to exploit a Vikings secondary that was not tested in the season opener by the St. Louis Rams.


9. Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ers

Kaepernick threw a pair of touchdowns early, but was able to put on the brakes after jumping on the Dallas Cowboys. The Chicago Bears should put up more of a fight.


10. Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals

Dalton threw for 301 yards and a touchdown last week against the Baltimore Ravens. Look for another big game as he trades blows with Ryan and the Falcons. Atlanta gave up 333 yards last week.
