Top-Five Fantasy Quarterbacks (Week 11)

Bye weeks are over, the playoffs are in the near future, and these quarterbacks should be called upon to carry most weekly fantasy formats. These top fives are this week's “can’t miss” at their position.

 

Drew Brees: It doesn’t matter that the Chiefs rank dead last in almost all defensive categories, Brees is going to play well against any team in the NFL. Back to his 2006 form, Brees leads the league in passing yards (2,985) and is third overall in touchdowns (17). Another big day! Projected Points-30

 

Jay Cutler: With Cutler second in the league in both passing yards (2,616) and touchdowns (18) this game should be another shootout in the “Dirty South”. The Falcons defense ranks 22nd in the league in passing yards allowed (226) and they give up at least one passing touchdown per game. Without any type of run game the Bronco’s will rely on Cutler’s arm. Projected Points-28

 

Kurt Warner: You must continue to ride the coattails of this two time league MVP. Warner continues to have a stellar season and with the weapons around him the Cardinals will continue to post ungodly offensive numbers in Seattle this week. Warner continues to make a case for his third MVP of the league. Projected Points-26

 

Peyton Manning: The Colts have won two out of their last three games and during that stretch Manning has averaged 24 fantasy points per game. The Texans go to Indy and they bring with them a defense that has allowed 15 touchdown receptions and an average of 200 passing yards per game. Projected Points-24

 

Matt Ryan: If Brady Quinn can find success against the Bronco’s secondary then the leagues 13th ranked quarterback (1909 passing yards) should also. With the Falcons receivers emerging into one of the leagues best Ryan should find success and the Falcons should roll. Projected Points-23

 

Bonus

Philip Rivers: If the San Diego defense continues to play the way they have, Rivers will be forced to pass all day and therefore a must draft in all league formats. With 21 touchdown passes through nine games Rivers is playing the best football of his career and this week he gets the same Steelers defense that P. Manning lit up for 24 fantasy points. Projected Points-22
