The Upsider: Dynasty and Keeper League QB Rankings

Why?

Dynasty and keeper league opinions and rankings have been a very hard thing for me to locate lately.  I might not be looking hard enough, or in the right places, but regardless, others must feel my emptiness. 

What?

Anyways, here they are: my dynasty and keeper league QB ratings.  The numeral value is based on a compilation of statistics including, but not limited to, 2008 performance, team strength, NFL expectations, youth, and position on the depth chart.  These are most of the variables that I find myself trying to sort out in my brain when I am offered a trade or I see a tempting wavier wire pickup.  (I have only included the QBs that have any sort of value)

OH!

One last thing.  The “What If” column is for players who did not get to start all of the team’s games.  The column just changes a few stats to guess what the player’s value would have been had they played.  Although it can never be perfect, it gives you an interesting number to compare or analyze.
