Week 12 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings
UsTailgate posted 11/20/2008 from ballhype.com
1. Peyton Manning (Indianapolis Colts) @ San Diego - It's very simple. Peyton is back in his groove, and San Diego has the League's worst pass defense. Manning has 9 TD passes in his last 4 games against 2 picks. But those INTs cam against Tenn in week 8. Zero INTs in the last 3 games. Manning will get his revenge for his 6 INT game the last time the Chargers faced the Colts. Peyton should throw for over 300 yards, and at least 2 TDs. 325 2.5 TDs
2. Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) @ New Orleans - A number 2 rank for Rodgers? Damn straight. He had a good game last week in a blowout win vs. Chicago. The Saints are sportin' the 26th ranked pass defense and have allowed 16 TDs to only 7 INTs. Add the fact New Orleans will have to worry about Ryan Grant now as well, that could equal a big game for Rodgers on Monday Night. In what seems to be destined a shoot out, Rodgers should get close to 315 and 2 TDs.
3. Kurt Warner (Arizona Cardinals) vs. New York Giants - Against the Leagues 2nd best defense you would think Warner would be lower. The Cardinals will have no choice but to throw the ball against New York. They won't be able to run, and it is not easy covering all 3 of the Cardinals receivers. This won't be one of his 340 yard 3 TD days, but 300 and 2 TDs is more like it
4. Tony Romo (Dallas Cowboys) vs. San Francisco - Tony made his way back from his pinkie injury with a tough win against Washington on Sunday Night. This week will be much easier for him against the League's 25th rank pass defense. Normally in a match up like this, Tony would be sporting a top 3 rank. But the way Marion Barber ran last week, the Cowboys should be more focused on running the ball. But Romo is still good for 280 yards and a score or 2.
5. Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints) vs. Green Bay - The other half of the Green Bay - New Orleans Monday Night Shoot Out. The Packers have the 3rd ranked pass defense and will more than likely turn Brees over. But Drew will still get his 290-300 yards and a TD or 2. He's not ranked higher because turnovers are killing him. 5 in his last 4 games.
