1. Drew Brees – QB – New Orleans Saints: 413/635, 5,069 Yards, 34 TD’s, 17 INT’s, 10 300 YD Games: Brees is the only QB coming off a 5,000 yard season. He was very effective last year without his best receiver, this year he has Marques Colston back. Brees will once again be the best Fantasy QB.

2. Tom Brady: I’d be tempted to put him at #1, but his rustiness could be an issue at the beginning of the season and it remains to be seen how well he’s recovered from injury. He’s looked strong in the preseason, but that’s no sure thing. Now that we’ve thrown out the risk factors, Brady is a fantasy stud and could easily be the best in football.

3. Peyton Manning. Manning is a fixture in fantasy football circles, and the benchmark of consistency. Few picks, many yards, and an abundance of TDs. Manning seems to have not slowed down just yet, and he should be himself this upcoming season.

4. Aaron Rodgers – QB – Green Bay Packers: 341/546, 4,038 Yards, 28 TD’s, 13 INT’s, 4 300 YD Games: Rodgers had a very impressive first year in 2008. He had more Yards, TD’s, and less throws than Peyton Manning. Rodgers also had 4 Rushing Touchdowns, which is really impressive for a QB. He was one of the only Quarterbacks to rush for 200 yards. Rodgers returns his to favorite targets in Greg Jennings and Donald Driver. Also the Packers running game should be much more effective than last year.

5. Philip Rivers: With a dangerous arsenal of talented receivers and great running backs, the San Diego Chargers offense is a well oiled machine. Rivers is an extremely talented quarterback and should lead his team to some big victories.

6. Kurt Warner: Warner was one of fantasy football’s best last season, thanks to a revival year. While he could very well do the same thing this season, his age is somewhat concerning as he’s more prone to injury with each year. Still, Boldin and Fitzgerald on your team makes it hard to pass you up.

7. Tony Romo: So he may choke in the playoffs, but who really cares? It’s all about the regular season, and Romo knows how to light up a football field. He’s lost Terrell Owens, but who knows, maybe it’s for the better. Roy Williams, Miles Austin, and Jason Witten will do their best to fill the gaps for Romo, who’d otherwise be ranked top 3 with the presence of Owens.

8. Jay Cutler. Talk about a QB who loves to pass the ball. Cutler looked solid in Denver last season, and finds a new home in Chicago. The biggest concern is the fact that his receivers this season are less talented than they were in Denver. Time will tell if this makes a difference.
