2010 Fantasy Football QB Redraft Rankings

Every year most leagues start from scratch, and they hold an original draft or a redraft. These are generally serpentine, or auction drafts. You play only for the season in front of you, so all that matters is how well a player will do THIS season. This is generally the mindset you want to take in most leagues, but with a redraft league there is no worrying about the future, there is only the now!

While running backs have been the fantasy mainstay in football leagues year after year, one cannot dismiss the fact that your quarterback will almost always bee your No. 1 fantasy point producer.

With that in mind let’s take a look at the current rankings based on a combination of prior performance combined with anticipated performance in 2010. As teams make personnel changes and implement new offensive schemes (or Favre retires yet again), these rankings will change over the next several months. However, the top tier of guys is not likely to alter much, if at all.

I would feel comfortable heading into the season with any of the top dozen guys leading my team, but the first tier ends with Tony Romo.

RANK	PLAYER	TEAM	AGE	ONE LINER
1	Aaron Rodgers	GBP	26	Five years younger than Brees, and he runs too
2	Drew Brees	NOS	31	No reason he shouldn’t be in the top two again on ‘10
3	Peyton Manning	IND	33	Expect a slight drop off from ‘09
4	Tom Brady	NEP	32	Expect a slight improvement in ‘10, or more…
5	Philip Rivers	SDG	28	He could end 2010 in the top three
6	Matt Schaub	HOU	28	No running game, no Owen Daniels, no problem
7	Tony Romo	DAL	29	Better than Brady and Rivers last season
8	Ben Roethlisberger	PIT	28	Big Ben throwing the ball, and eluding tackles
9	Eli Manning	NYG	29	Not flashy, but good young receivers mean points
10	Brett Favre	MIN	40	Will he or won’t he? One great year left if he plays
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
11	Matt Ryan	ATL	24	Rough sophomore year, but should rebound
12	Joe Flacco	BAL	25	Needs weapons, but has the cannon
13	Donovan McNabb	PHI	34	Not a 4000 yard thrower, but still a solid option
14	Jay Cutler	CHI	26	A rebound season is in store with right team moves
15	Carson Palmer	CIN	30	He has to be better than last year…right?
16	Matt Hasselbeck	SEA	34	If only he could stay healthy…dream a little dream
17	Alex Smith	SFO	25	Averaged two TDs a game as starter. Sleeper/keeper
18	Matt Cassell	KCC	27	Expect a better & healthier season in 2010
19	Matthew Stafford	DET	22	If he can stay healthy, he can do big things in ‘10
20	Matt Lienhert	ARI	26	He has the tools, he has the skills, can they collide?
21	Matt Moore	CAR	25	High upside, Steve Smith, nice sleeper QB
22	Jason Campbell	WAS	28	Better things to come under Shanahan, if he stays
23	Kyle Orton	DEN	27	If he loses Brandon Marshall… Ouch
24	David Garrard	JAX	32	If he isn’t pushed out he’s a decent No. 2 QB option
25	Mark Sanchez	NYJ	23	Very raw, INT prone, on a run first team
26	Chad Henne	MIA	24	More poise than Sanchez, but fewer tools
27	Josh Freeman	TBB	22	If he keeps the job he could surprise on a bad team
28	Vince Young	TEN	26	He’ll need more than 156 passing yards per game
29	Brady Quinn	CLE	25	Somewhere over the Cuyahoga promise lives…
30	Trent Edwards	BUF	26	Let’s see what Chan Gailey does with him
31	Marc Bulger	STL	32	Will likely be gone by training camp
32	JaMarcus Russell	OAK	5	There is no team in I, says Russell, and the fans cry
