2010 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings – Week Five

Here are my Week 5 fantasy football quarterback rankings. Remember Miami, New England, Pittsburgh, and Seattle are on bye.

1. Drew Brees @ Arizona

2. Peyton Manning vs. Kansas City

3. Aaron Rodgers @ Washington

4. Eli Manning @ Houston

5. Matt Ryan @ Cleveland

6. Matt Schaub vs. New York Giants

7. Tony Romo vs. Tennessee

8. Carson Palmer vs. Tampa Bay

9. Philip Rivers @ Oakland

10. Jay Cutler @ Carolina

11. Joe Flacco vs. Denver

12. Mark Sanchez vs. Minnesota

13. Sam Bradford @ Detroit

14. Shaun Hill vs. St. Louis

15. Kyle Orton @ Baltimore

16. Donovan McNabb vs. Green Bay

17. Bruce Gradkowski vs. San Diego

18. Kevin Kolb @ San Francisco

19. Josh Freeman @ Cincinnati

20. Brett Favre @ New York Jets



Inside the numbers:

• The Vikings struggle stopping opposing TEs so Mark Sanchez and Dustin Keller should be very active. Plus, Santonio Holmes will be making his debut, which makes Sanchez a low-end QB1 this week.
• Joe Flacco completed 80 percent of his passes for a 109.2 passer rating against Denver last year. After struggling against Pittsburgh, look for him to bounce back.
• Jay Cutler (concussion) sits at ten now. If he is cleared to play, he will move up.
• Sam Bradford’s TD streak should extend against Detroit. His team already believes in him.
• Matthew Stafford could return, which would bump Shaun Hill. I wouldn’t put Stafford as high though because of the injury and rust.
