Fantasy Football Week 10 Rankings: Top 25 Quarterbacks (Updated)

The first game of the week is already in the books, so Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan’s spots in these rankings remain unchanged.  For those of us who didn’t use one of those two in Week 10, let’s take a look at how the recent news has shaken up the rankings:

1. Peyton Manning – Indianapolis Colts – vs. Cincinnati
2. Michael Vick – Philadelphia Eagles – at Washington
3. Eli Manning – New York Giants – vs. Dallas
4. Matt Schaub – Houston Texans – at Jacksonville
5. Ben Roethlisberger – Pittsburgh Steelers – vs. New England
6. Joe Flacco – Baltimore Ravens – at Atlanta
7. Tom Brady – New England Patriots – at Pittsburgh
8. Kyle Orton – Denver Broncos – vs. Kansas City
9. Ryan Fitzpatrick – Buffalo Bills – vs. Detroit
10. David Garrard – Jacksonville Jaguars – vs. Houston
11. Jay Cutler – Chicago Bears – vs. Minnesota
12. Josh Freeman – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – vs. Carolina
13. Brett Favre – Minnesota Vikings – at Chicago
14. Mark Sanchez – New York Jets – at Cleveland
15. Carson Palmer – Cincinnati Bengals – at Indianapolis
16. Matt Ryan – Atlanta Falcons – vs. Baltimore
17. Matt Cassel – Kansas City Chiefs – at Denver
18. Matt Hasselbeck – Seattle Seahawks – at Arizona
19. Kerry Collins – Tennessee Titans – at Miami
20. Shaun Hill – Detroit Lions – at Buffalo
21. Donovan McNabb – Washington Redskins – vs. Philadelphia
22. Chad Pennington – Miami Dolphins – vs. Tennessee
23. Troy Smith – San Francisco 49ers – vs. St. Louis
24. Sam Bradford – St. Louis Rams – at San Francisco
25. Derek Anderson – Cleveland Browns – vs. New York Jets

Thoughts:

• The Nashville Tennessean (click here for the article) is reporting that Kerry Collins is likely to start over Vince Young (ankle injury).  Young is going to be a gametime decision, so you are going to want a replacement in place, but don’t count on him.  With Collins getting in practice time with Randy Moss, it makes sense to give him the start.  His value is similar to what Young’s would have been.
• Shaun Hill is looking like he will be the starter for the Lions this week, with Matthew Stafford’s injury potentially costing him the rest of the season.  Buffalo has allowed 17 passing TDs versus just one interception, so you have to like Hill’s potential to produce this week.  He’s worth considering in all two-quarterback formats.
• Does anyone truly trust Chad Pennington?  Well, the positives are that he’s a smart quarterback who is going to protect the ball.  However, Tennessee has allowed just nine passing touchdowns on the season and Miami could easily go to a run-heavy attack.  Consider him a low-end option in all two-quarterback formats until he proves us otherwise.
• It looks like Colt McCoy will be the Browns starting quarterback once again this week.  Does it matter?  He has 248 yards total over the past two weeks and is only viable as a last resort in two-quarterback formats.

What are your thoughts on these rankings? Whose too high? Whose too low?
