Week 7 Rankings: Quarterbacks

Dear everyone. Aaron Rodgers says, "Please shut the hell up." Well, metaphorically. Through his play. Also, the Bye Week From Hell claims four every-week starting QBs, one up-and-comer who could easily fill-in during byes, and one QB who got booed immediately after suffering a concussion. It's not called the Bye Week From Hell for nothin'.

Rank	Quarterback	Opp	Comments
1	Aaron Rodgers	@STL	I hope everyone's done doubting the Packers offense. Hopefully last week shut a lot of people up.
2	Drew Brees	@TB	Tampa gives up the second-most passing yards per game and with Brees, the TDs will come.
3	Eli Manning	WSH	The Redskins give up the most passing yards per game and the most passing TDS per game.
4	Tom Brady	NYJ	Jets defense isn't at all what it was a few weeks ago. Ridley will play well, but you can't count out Brady.
5	Robert Griffin III	@NYG	Well, so much for being slowed by injury. Giants secondary has too many holes.
6	Andrew Luck	CLE	The rookie will have a great bounce-back game following last week's mess.
7	Tony Romo	@CAR	Panthers defense has looked competent at times, but Romo will have his "Eff You!" game this week.
8	Ben Roethlisberger	@CIN	With the RB situation still up in the air, Big Ben is bound to have a  pass-heavy game against an average D.
9	Joe Flacco	@HOU	Texans pass defense was exposed so if they contain Ray Rice, look for Flacco to light it up.
10	Josh Freeman	NO	My biggest by-week pickup this week (wrote about him in Waiver View). Slinging it a lot lately.
11	Matthew Stafford	@CHI	Terrifying matchup, but he showed last week that he can put up a whole game's numbers in just 1 quarter.
12	Cam Newton	DAL	That Cowboys defense is still pretty damn good and Cam has been slumping to say the least.
13	Andy Dalton	PIT	He's going to have to throw a lot but he makes two or three HORRIBLE passes a game. It's scary.
14	Jay Cutler	DET	Certainly a beatable matchup but Cutler-the-Turnover-Machine could always show up.
15	Carson Palmer	JAC	It's a tasty matchup but they'll just have McFadden run all over them. Limited opportunity.
16	Matt Hasselbeck	@BUF	The Bills are terrible and Hasselbeck would be a great fill-in for your bye week QB.
17	Ryan Fitzpatrick	TEN	See: Palmer, Carson. Multiply runningback factor by 2
18	Brandon Weeden	@IND	Is it just me or is this guy starting to look pretty good?
19	Sam Bradford	GB	There's just no way he keeps this up. I'm not buying it. Packers crappy D is going to eat him alive.
20	Matt Schaub	BAL	With the Ravens thin in the defensive department, Foster and Tate shouldn't struggle running the ball.
21	Christian Ponder	ARI	I'm too high on the Cardinals defensive unit to buy into Ponder this week. Too tough a matchup.
22	John Skelton	@MIN	I'm terrified for the guy because the O-line sucks and the Vikings front 7 is nasty.
23	Alex Smith	SEA	Showed last week why they can't trust him as much. Welcome back to the offense, Frank Gore
24	Mark Sanchez	@NE	He's shown signs of competency but in Foxboro, I just don't think he holds up.
25	Tim Tebow	@NE	Only on here because Rex Ryan said they might use him as RB this week. If you need upside, this is it.
26	Blaine Gabbert	@OAK	Can't trust him as a real-life quarterback, let alone as a fantasy option.
27	Russell Wilson	@SF	After losses, Harbaugh's Niners have allowed 11 points. Not per game, 11 points total. In FOUR post-loss games.
