Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings: Tim Tebow, Cam Newton and More Top-Ranked QBs

Tim Tebow proved to me last week that he is a top 10 quarterback in the NFL.

For fantasy purposes, obviously.

He was pretty abysmal for most of the game, but got it done when it mattered and pulled out an overtime win against the lowly Miami Dolphins.

The guy has simply been a proven winner throughout his career, and he is now going to be a winner on your fantasy team.

Let’s take a look at some other top QBs for this week.

Drew Brees

Brees has been an absolute monster all season, and even in his worst week, he still passed for 383 yards and a touchdown.

What he did to the Colts last week was absolutely disgusting, going 31-of-35 for 325 yards and five touchdowns. He’s a great start against the Rams in Week 8.

Cam Newton

This dual-threat QB has 15 combined touchdowns already and is lighting it up in his rookie season.

He is going to be one of the first QBs off the board next season.

As he matures and makes better passing decisions, he may be the top-scorer in all of fantasy.

Newton goes against a Vikings team without their top corners this week and, as usual, is a great choice to start.

Tom Brady

Do you think Brady cares about having to throw against the ‘top’ passing defense in the league?

Of course not.

The Steelers passing D is overrated anyway as they have had matchups against Joe Flacco, Tarvaris Jackson, Curtis Painter, Matt Schaub, Matt Hasselbeck, Blaine Gabbert and Kevin Kolb.

That is hardly an elite bunch.

Michael Vick

Unless you are a truly gifted passer, being a dual-threat quarterback is obviously a boon for fantasy purposes.

Scoring on both the ground and air gives these guys the potential to have huge days and makes them very valuable fantasy weapons.

Vick will be playing Dallas this week in a must-win game, so look for him to do everything he can to find the end zone.

Tim Tebow

If Tebow can keep his momentum from the end of the Miami game going against the Lions this week, he is going to score a ton of points.
