Week 5 Top 10 Quarterbacks


1. Peyton Manning IND @ Titans (giving up 282.2 YPG/Air) The best QB in the league against the worst defense against the pass means a huge day for Manning and his fantasy owners.

2. Ben Roethlisberger PIT @ Lions (giving up 240.2 YPG/Air)  Expect big things out of Big Ben this weeks against one of the worst teams in the NFL.

3. Matt Schaub HOU @ Cardinals (giving up 280.3 YPG/Air)  Anytime you have Andre Johnson as your main target and your facing a defense that hasn't shown any signs of stopping the pass you know your in for a big week.

4. Joe Flacco BAL vs. Bengals (giving up 242.2 YPG/Air)  Flacco has been very solid all year and is facing the Bengals who have had a tough time of shutting down the opposing QB, think big.

5. Donovan McNabb vs. Buccaneers (giving up 221.8 YPG/Air)  Yes McNabb is coming off of an injury but he is also playing the Buccaneers, DeSean Jackson should have a big day.

6. Tom Brady @ Broncos (giving up 162.5 YPG/Air)  Okay the Broncos do have the third rated pass defense in the league, but Brady might have too many weapons.  Welker is now healthy, and Moss can beat just about any corner in the league on any given day.  Brady might be the QB to hand the Broncos their first loss.

7. Brett Favre MIN vs. Rams (giving up 224.5 YPG/Air)  Favre hadn't really impressed fantasy owners until his Monday night performance against the Packers.  He has three very good WR's with Berrian, Rice, and Harvin.  He also has the ShawShiancoe Redemption as a sure handed tight end.  We see Favre having a very nice day against the lowly Rams. 5-0? YES!

8. Tony Romo DAL @ Chiefs (giving up 250.5 YPG/Air)  Romo should have a very nice day in Kansas City.  He has shown signs of the Romo of old this season, and KC is a team he should explode offensively against.  Roy Williams is a very solid start at wide-out as well.

9. Matt Ryan @ 49ers (giving up 210.2 YPG/Air)  If Roddy White can't get things going while facing Nate Clements, we know Tony Gonzalez will step up his game.  Gonzalez creates a mismatch against nearly every linebacker in the league, and we don't see things changing this week.

10. Kurt Warner vs. Texans (giving up 203.8 YPG/Air)  Before last weeks bye, Warner had a brutal showing on national television, but anytime you have Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, and Steve Breaston as targets, you have the potential to break out at any moment.  We see Warner exploding this week. 

Other notable QB matchups- Eli Manning vs. Raiders, Carson Palmer @ Ravens, and Matt Cassel vs. Cowboys

Byes: Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler, & Philip Rivers
