Fantasy Football: Week 15 Quarterback (QB) Rankings

This morning, we updated our fantasy rankings for Week 15.

Here are some notes on quarterbacks and pass defenses heading into this week's games:

• New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees became the first player in NFL history to throw for 20,000-plus yards and 150-plus touchdowns in his first five seasons with a new team.
• In Week 14, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a concussion, which puts his status for Week 15 against the Patriots in jeopardy.
• Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has thrown for 300-plus yards in three consecutive games, two-plus touchdowns for six consecutive games and no interceptions in eight consecutive games.
• Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has thrown eight touchdowns in his first four games and eight touchdowns in his next nine. The difference, however, has been the interceptions: Zero in the first four games and 11 in the past nine games.
• San Diego's Philip Rivers has thrown 25-plus touchdowns in three consecutive seasons. He is the only Chargers quarterback to ever accomplish that feat.
• With three games to go, Jaguars quarterback David Garrard tied the franchise record for passing touchdowns in a season (20).
• Buffalo's Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown a touchdown pass in 14 straight games. That is the second-longest streak in franchise history, behind Jim Kelly's streak of 18 games.
• In his past two games, Denver's Kyle Orton has completed only 28 of 69 passes (41 percent) for 283 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions.
