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

Tony Gonzalez was traded to the Atlanta Falcons during the offseason. Recently, he has started to practice with the team during Atlanta’s minicamp. Considering that Gonzalez was arguably the best fantasy football tight end last season, this trade made a big impact in the fantasy world.
Will Gonzalez be better off with the Falcons? Considering that he had 96 catches for 1,058 yards and ten touchdowns, it’s difficult to imagine him doing much more. But with the Falcons, Gonzalez very well might be able to top those numbers.
The best thing going for Gonzalez is Falcons’ quarterback Matt Ryan. Coming off of …read more

Are you playing playoff fantasy football? If so, here are our quarterback rankings for the first week of the 2008 NFL playoffs.
1) Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
Manning is on a role and should slice up the Chargers.
2) Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
Rivers should be good for a couple touchdowns.

Warner has been cold but thrives on big stage.
4) Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles
Should throw plenty of passes this weekend.

Rookie keeps on surprising.

Not a great start but could do well.

Going against a tough defense.
8) Tarvaris Jackson, Minnesota …read more

1. Atlanta Falcons
Is there any doubt that the Atlanta Falcons are currently the worst team in the NFL? The Falcons have yet to recover from the Michael Vick fiasco. Until a quarterback (such as rookie Matt Ryan) proves capable, the Falcons will circle the drain of the NFL.

Can Matt Ryan be the savior?
2. Miami Dolphins
Bill Parcels will eventually turn the Miami Dolphins around but it won’t be in 2008. On the offensive side of the field, the Dolphins don’t have many playmakers. On defense, the Dolphins’ best player, Jason Taylor, is unhappy. The Dolphins will …read more

The Atlanta Falcons have a new franchise quarterback. Matt Ryan was selected by the Falcons in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft with the third overall pick. Ryan, who played his college ball at Boston College, is a clean-cut player who will try to make Falcons fans forget about Michael Vick.
While many rookie quarterbacks get a year or two to learn the ropes, Ryan likely will have to play sooner rather than later. Currently, the Falcons only have Chris Redman and Joey Harrington at quarterback. It won’t take much for Ryan to get his …read more

Let’s take a look at the fantasy football prospects drafted in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft:
3) Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons
Matt Ryan was obviously the best quarterback in the 2008 draft. However, don’t expect much out of him in the 2008 fantasy football season. Rookie quarterbacks are usually slow to figure things out and on top of that, the Falcons don’t have many offensive weapons.
4) Darren McFadden, Oakland Raiders
Expect Darren McFadden and Justin Fargas to split carries early in the 2008 season. As the season progresses, McFadden could show the coaching staff that he should …read more

After 13 grueling and hard fought seasons, Steve McNair has decided to retire. McNair, who was expected to enter the season as the Baltimore Ravens’ starting quarterback, said his body told him it was time to hang it up. McNair had a great career, including a near Super Bowl victory in 1999.
How will the Ravens move on with McNair now out of the picture? In the fantasy world, McNair retiring doesn’t have a huge impact. McNair wasn’t really a fantasy option at quarterback any longer – especially in the offensively challenged Ravens lineup. Truthfully, McNair …read more

Almost every NFL scout has Matt Ryan as the top quarterback prospect in the 2008 NFL Draft. Ryan, who is out of Boston College, had 31 touchdowns and over 4,500 yards in his senior season. However, the question remains – who is going to draft Matt Ryan?
Right now, that is a difficult question to answer. There’s a chance that the Miami Dolphins will select him with the first overall pick. The Dolphins need franchise quarterback and Ryan has a chance to be just that. Sound like the perfect fit, however Bill Parcells of the Dolphins values defense and is expected …read more

The Baltimore Ravens suffered through a 2007 season that saw the team get decimated by injuries. The injuries, in addition to some players underperforming, slowed the Ravens as they finished with a 5-11 record on the season.
In the 2008 NFL Draft, the Ravens should get some help. With the eight pick in the draft, there should be a solid player still on the board when it comes their turn to pick.
The good news for the Ravens is they aren’t that far away from being a playoff team yet again. Defensively, they have a lot of …read more
