Week 15 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Eli Manning and Top QBs You Can't Miss

There is no substitute for desperation when the postseason is on the line.

Whether it be a franchise quarterback leading his team on a playoff run or a fantasy owner in the middle of the playoffs, desperate times call for desperate measures.

However, there is no need to be desperate if you have one of the following quarterbacks; they're desperate enough to do something crazy...like put up monster numbers.

Tony Romo, QB, Cowboys

After last week's last-second loss to the Giants, Dallas should be on another level of desperation. For all Tony Romo's shortcomings in the clutch and/or late in the season, he can still put up numbers.

The Buccaneers secondary is one of the worst in the league, so expect Romo and Jason Garrett to be out for blood. On top of that, Felix Jones is now the lead back and they will want to give him the best opportunity to succeed. That means not overworking him to the bone.

Look for Romo to put up some big numbers after another week of practice with Miles Austin finally back.

Eli Manning, QB, Giants

The Giants found a semblance of their running game last week, but they've also realized it is time to lean on their star quarterback once and for all.

The younger Manning continues to impress with his ability to win games in the clutch and it would be really nice to see the Giants actually lead a game from start to finish.

They now control their own destiny to the postseason, but it includes winning every game from here on out. This is just the start and it needs to be a good start. 

The Redskins already beat the Giants once this year, meaning Big Blue will be more than ready this time around...at least on offense.

Drew Brees, QB, Saints

The Saints are going to make the postseason, but they're desperate to earn home-field advantage against every other team but the Packers. Right now, they trail the 49ers by conference win percentage and will get a chance to up that mark with a win over the Vikings.

For fantasy purposes, the Vikings defense is one of the league's worst against the pass. This is a recipe for huge numbers from a guy who would likely be the MVP in any other season if not for Aaron Rodgers.

Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers

Speaking of Aaron Rodgers, he simply throws touchdown passes. No matter who the opponent or what the circumstance, he's going to throw multiple touchdowns.

Green Bay is far from desperate, but a win here locks up the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.

The only thing that can hurt his numbers this week is if the Packer defense starts scoring points. Against the Chiefs, there is a good chance of that happening.
