The smell of football is in the air. Here are my Week 1 fantasy football quarterback rankings.

1. Peyton Manning—276.3 ypg, 37 TD, eight INT lifetime vs. Houston

2. Drew Brees—The Vikes want revenge, but their secondary is a question mark.

3. Aaron Rodgers—The start of what could be a MVP season.

4. Jay Cutler—Had six TDs and no INTs against Detroit last year.

5. Philip Rivers—292.5 ypg, five TDs, no INTs vs. Chiefs last year.

6. Tom Brady—No run game means tons of passes.

7. Carson Palmer—New England's secondary is in shambles.

8. Tony Romo—200.6 ypg, 12 TDs, seven INTs in seven games against Skins.

9. Brett Favre—Favre wants revenge. He'll get it.

10. Alex Smith—310 yards, two TDs, no INTs against Seattle last year.

11. Matt Schaub—253.5 yards, four TDs, two picks vs. Colts last year.

12. Kevin Kolb— The Pack are tough, but playing at home should help.

13. Eli Manning— Carolina won't be the same without Peppers.

14. Donovan McNabb—His ankle is sore, but he has 26 TDs to 13 INTs in his career vs. Dallas.

15. Derek Anderson—St. Louis is a good way to start DA's resurrection.

16. Kyle Orton—The Jags ranked 27th in passing yards allowed and 26th in TDs.

17. Joe Flacco—Revis is signed, but it's going to take him some time to get up to speed.

18. Matt Ryan—Should have hands full against Pittsburgh.

19. Vince Young—He'll need his feet to get him points against Oakland.

20. Matthew Stafford—Urlacher and Peppers are cause for concern.

21. Matt Cassel—Could be higher if Chargers can't mount a pass rush.

22. Josh Freeman—Injury concerns are high.

23. Jason Campbell—Ditto.

24. David Garrard—He's playing at home so there's a chance he'll be OK.
