With another exciting week of football under our belts, here are the Lester’s Legends 2014 Week 5 fantasy football quarterback rankings.

2. Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos

Peyton Manning is averaging 271.3 yards and 2.7 touchdown passes per game. He faces another tough defense in the Arizona Cardinals, but he is coming out of a bye. Manning has averaged 317.5 yards and 3.5 touchdowns the past two years following Denver's bye.

3. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints

Drew Brees is averaging 300.8 yards and 0.9 touchdowns per game. He should get a boost facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home. The Bucs have allowed 272.5 yards and a pair of touchdowns per game. Brees averaged 351.5 yards and 2.5 touchdowns against Tampa Bay last year.

Rodgers gets another divisional foe in Week 5 as he faces the Minnesota Vikings in a short week. He had 285 yards and a pair of touchdowns in his only meeting last year with Minnesota. Rodgers has 26 touchdowns and four interceptions in 12 career meetings with the Purple and Gold.
