While there weren’t too many huge performances in Week 8 of the 2009 fantasy football season, there were a few that are worth mentioning. Here’s a look at the best fantasy football performances on Sunday.
QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Although Brett Favre will get all the attention, Aaron Rodgers actually had fantasy owners smiling even brighter after the game. Despite a plethora of pressure, Rodgers had 287 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and more than 50 yards rushing.
RB Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans
Chris Johnson has been all or nothing this year. Week 8 was one of his “all” games. With Vince …read more

In Week 6 of the 2009 fantasy football season, there are a number of quality quarterback options. If you have any of these six fantasy quarterbacks, you can be confident that you’ll see production.
6. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
Over the years, Ben Roethlisberger has been an inconsistent fantasy quarterback. But in Week 6, Big Ben has a home game against the Cleveland Browns. Expect a pair of TDs out of Roethlisberger.
5. Matt Schaub, Houston Texans
Since Week 1, Matt Schaub has been very good. This week he goes up against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Bengals aren’t horrible, Schaub should produce.
4. Donovan …read more

Are you getting prepared for the 2009 fantasy football season? If so, you will want to know who the best fantasy quarterbacks are in the NFL. Here’s a look at our fantasy football quarterback rankings.
1. Tom Brady, New England Patriots
He missed all but one quarter of one game last season with a severe knee injury. But when he’s healthy, he’s the best.
2. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
When it comes to a safe quarterback in fantasy football for the 2009 season, Brees might be number one.
3. Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
Although his stats suffered at times last season, expect a bounce back …read more

Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles
After being benched for the first time in his NFL career, Donovan McNabb has responded by playing his best football of the season. Over the last three weeks, he’s been a very serviceable fantasy football quarterback. Over that time period, he has seven touchdowns and only one interception.

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
While he may be no Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers is on fire. In his last five games, he has ten touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown. He also has at least 227 passing yards in each of those games. He’s definitely a fantasy football quarterback you …read more

QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
The Packers knew Aaron Rodgers was talented, however fantasy football owners wouldn’t have guessed that Rodgers would have such an impressive first year at quarterback. He’s been a top three performer as a fantasy quarterback and considering his relatively late average draft position, he has to be making his owners very happy.

RB DeAngelo Williams, Carolina Panthers
Coming into the 2008 fantasy football season, DeAngelo Williams wasn’t a wanted man in the fantasy world. He was a part of a dreaded running back by committee situation in Carolina. However, now he’s emerged as the hottest back in …read more

QB Dan Orlovsky, Detroit Lions
So far this season, Dan Orlovsky hasn’t looked much like a capable fantasy football quarterback. But if you are really desperate for a QB in Week 7, consider Orlovsky a fantasy football sleeper for the week. He’s facing a bendable Houston Texans defense and with Jon Kitna out of the year, he no longer has to look over his shoulder. Expect him to have at least one touchdown pass.
RB Michael Pittman, Denver Broncos
While it’s never a happy feeling starting a running back against the New England Patriots, Pittman should have some success. He’s coming off of …read more

QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Despite an injury that almost forced him to miss the game, Aaron Rodgers produced a very good fantasy week in Week 5. He finished with three touchdowns and 313 yards. All wasn’t good for the Packers however as they lost the game against the Atlanta Falcons.
RB Brandon Jacobs, New York Giants
Brandon Jacobs exploded in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. He finished the game with 15 carries for 136 yards and two touchdowns. Although some fantasy football owners were down on him entering the season, he has played very well thus far.
WR Roddy White, Atlanta …read more

QB Carson Palmer, Cincinnati Bengals
After sitting out last week, Carson Palmer is listed as questionable for Week 5. However, the good news for fantasy football owners is that Palmer is expected to play in Week 5 despite his elbow injury.
QB Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Rodgers is listed officially as questionable and is being called a game-time decision. That said, it’s looking more and more likely that he’ll play.
RB Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles
Westbrook was unable to play last week due to an ankle injury. This week he has practiced and very well could play.
RB Willis McGahee, Baltimore Ravens
McGahee is questionable and …read more

QB Brett Favre, New York Jets
In Week 4, Brett Favre was amazing. His six touchdown passes reminded the world what he is capable of doing. However, don’t hesitate to sell him high if another fantasy owner comes calling.
RB Ronnie Brown, Miami Dolphins
The last time the 2008 fantasy football world saw Ronnie Brown, he was scoring five touchdowns against the New England Patriots defense. With his value likely never to be higher, now is a good time to try to trade him.

Can Ronnie Brown keep it up or was Week 3 a flash in the pan.
WR Greg Jennings, Green Bay Packers
Aaron …read more

With fantasy football 2008 right around the corner, let’s take a look at the most overrated fantasy football quarterbacks for the upcoming fantasy football season. These are fantasy quarterbacks who are being picked higher than their current values should merit.
Derek Anderson – While he did very well last season, Derek Anderson has an relatively inexperience receiving corps and a high profile backup.
Carson Palmer – Even though he is very talented, Carson Palmer is on a team that is heading downward and has a sometimes loony lead WR.
Marc Bulger – With Issac Bruce gone and Torry Holt aging, Marc Bulger …read more
