1. Aaron Rodgers - The 2014 MVP is primed for another outstanding season. While others may feel more inclined to pick Luck over him, I'm going to stick with A-Rod as my first QB to be picked in drafts. Having Cobb and Nelson to throw to will always be a plus along with Lacy in the backfield catching passes.
2. Andrew Luck - Could easily be picked as the first QB to be taken off the board and not a single person will even question it.With possibly a better offense then last year, Luck might be able to beat out Rodgers as the best QB in Fantasy and real life.
3. Russel Wilson - Between passing the ball and the ability to run with, there isn't much that this kid can not do. Lynch will get his touches, as he always does, but looked for him to be phased out do to age with a little more emphasis on passing. His touchdowns are bound to increase with Jimmy Graham running routes in the red zone.
4. Peyton Manning - Not much needs to be said about Peyton Manning that already hasn't been said before. The only question mark is whether his body can handle another NFL season, all one needs to do is look at how he finished last year.
5. Drew Brees - All signs point to the Saints being a run first team, but that actually doesn't scare me as much as it might others. He lost his biggest target in Graham but with defenses having to defend the run more then other years he is still good enough to finish top 5.
6. Ben Roethlisberger - Statistically coming off one of his best seasons as a pro, thanks to arguably the best WR and RB combo in the league, Roethlisberger is a solid mid round QB pick for those that prefer to wait a little when selecting QB's. Bell is out for the first 3 games but it should only moderately effect his fantasy value.
7. Matt Ryan - At this point in his career Ryan is what he is, Capable of a high ceiling but also the potential for a middling floor. Julio Jones is another year removed from surgery so look to him helping Ryan's value as long as his offensive line can protect him well enough to get off passes.
8. Cam Newton - The ability to run has always been the draw of Cam Newton, but his lack of accuracy causes him to throw more interceptions then one would like. Expect a starter worthy year from the big guy as long as him and Kelvin Benjamin can stay healthy.
9. Tony Romo - Behind the best offensive line in the the NFL, Tony Romo had as solid of a year that one could ask for from a starting QB drafted late. Look for more of the same as last year and then some with an angry Dez Bryant playing for a long term contract
10. Tom Brady - Whether it's 2 games or 4, Brady's fantasy value is capped. Whenever he gets back though, Gronk and Edelman are there to catch the ball. He'll at the very least be a top 10 fantasy QB. #FreeBrady
11. Ryan Tannehill - My pick as the fantasy sleeper QB, Tannehill has overall a better offense around him. Jordan Cameron, Kenny Stills, and first round draft pick DeVante Parker are sure to catapult him to at least the top 5 if not higher by the end of the year. Hopefully he doesn't become to lax after receiving that decently sized contract extension
12. Eli Manning - Another QB who had fallen out of favor with fantasy players after a couple dismal years. Then OBJ happened and now you got a solid starter for a 12 team league. They also signed Shane Vereen who is great at catching footballs out of the backfield and are also getting Victor Cruz back from injury.
