-Tom Brady once again has elevated himself to the number 1 spot in the fantasy football QB ranks and it took him two season to get back there after going through his knee injury in 2008. Brady was downright ridiculous with his TD to INT ratio and he threw a TD pass in every game this season. the best part was that Brady’s value was lower than its been in years as he went fifth overall among QB’s in my money league. Needless to say I was more than happy to nab him anad use his skill to win my league’s top spot.
-There was a little bit of slippage in Peyton Manning’s stats this season and he threw the most picks in his career since his rookie season. some blame surely lands on the fact his receiving corps was decimated with injury but Manning also made some poor throws which we are not sued to seeing. Still he was money in the playoffs when it counted and he likely will slip into the second round next season where he makes a great value.
-Philip Rivers was awesome this season and he was one guy I was wrong about. I was worried about his offensive line and the fact Vincent Jackson was holding out. Despite all that, there were additional injuries that affected just about every receiving threat on the roster. Still Rivers was crazy good all season until the fantasy playoffs arrived where it seems he and the team lost their steam. Without a doubt Rivers is a top 5 option for next season.
-Michael Vick obviously is the story of the season and he no doubt will appear on many fantasy football winning teams this week. Its truly remarkable how great he has been and it will be interesting to see what happens next season as far as whether he re-signs with the Eagles. the offense is perfectly suited for his talents and if Vick does re-sign, he will likely put up similar stats in 2011.
-If I were to ask you who had the secon best TD to INT ratio in fantasy football, I guarantee it would take you more than 10 guesses to come up with Matt Cassel. Cassel was a preseason curiosity after finishing strong in his first season with the Chiefs last year but he bombed out in September and was cast aside by everyone. Once November arrived however, Cassel was utterly fantastic and he finished with an almost 3-TD gem i 0; the fantasy football Super Bowl game. At the very least Cassel makes the perfect backup for next season but he clearly has earned starter status in most leagues.
-Joe Flacco was a guy I raved about all preseason and I told anyone who would listen to draft the guy. Needless to say I got a ton of angry e-mails in September after he too bombed out by I was fully confident he would turn it around. That he did and than some as Flacco finished with great stats to the tune of 25 TD and only 9 INT. up and up we go here as Flacco is knocking on the door to the top tier guys.
-Eli Manning ruined what was looking like a potentially great season with a terrible INT rate. He completely flamed out Sunday with 4 picks against the Packers and no doubt he cost some a title. Manning is too skittish for me to trust as a full time starter but he makes a great backup.
-Matt Schaub was another one who let down and I did a feature on this weeks ago. Injuries to his offensive line and receiving corp hurt but an MVP-type season from RB Arian Foster should have helped the passing game more than it did. I still like Schaub and he will come much cheaper next season which makes him very attractive. this is a great stock to buy for 2011 if you dont want to go with a top QB early in your draft.
-Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers was up and down all season as he fought through a concussion and injuries to his receiving corp. Still he went bonkers with 4 TD in the title game and he remains a top 3 guy.
-Tony Romo finished ranked 10th on this list but he will certainly move up as we approach 2011 due to his skill set and the offense he plays in. Romo just has to stay healthy and he will yield big results.
-Tampa Bay’s Josh Freeman and St. Louis’ Sam Bradford are the next class of stars who will take the league by storm. Freeman surprised me with how great he played all season but Bradford is the guy I am really excited about. Without a doubt Bradford will be a top 5 guy by 2012. you read it here first.
