Week 10 Rankings: QBs (Who Thought Washington's Bye Would Be So Detrimental To Fantasy Teams?)

Packers, Cardinals, Redskins, Browns on bye this week. Coming into the season, how many of you really thought the Redskins' bye week would bring voids at the QB, RB and WR positions? Hmm? Show of hands. Anyone? One? You're lying.

Rank	Quarterback	Opp	Comments
1	Matt Ryan	@NO	Saints give up the most fantasy points per game to opposing QBs, as well as 311 yards, 2 TDs per game.
2	Tom Brady	BUF	Don't worry, Buffalo is a close second to the Saints (above). They average 21 fantasy points to QBs.
3	Matthew Stafford	@MIN	He's getting into high gear (better late than never) and Minnesota hasn't played well in weeks.
4	Drew Brees	ATL	Some guys just transcend matchups. Some guys have to throw a ton. He is both of those guys.
5	Ben Roethlisberger	KC	Chiefs give up the most TDs per game to QBs (2.2) and with shaky RB situation, Ben should surpass two.
6	Peyton Manning	@CAR	Only this low because Willis McGahee will shoulder much of the offensive workload. Still an auto-start though.
7	Josh Freeman	SD	Higher on him than most, but he's been fantastic over the last five weeks, no reason the Chargers stop that.
8	Cam Newton	DEN	Denver's pass rush can be menacing but Cam's strung a few solid games together as he finds his run-pass balance.
9	Andrew Luck	@JAC	He's proven himself as a more-than-viable fantasy option. Jags haven't been terrible, but they're far from good.
10	Eli Manning	@CIN	He's been somehow awful for owners, but Cincy gives up a healthy 17.5 fantasy points per game to QBs.
11	Philip Rivers	@TB	Not sure why people are so low on him against a Tampa D that allow the most passing yards per game (330).
12	Andy Dalton	NYG	I have a feeling this game's going to turn into a shootout so Dalton will have to get things going.
13	Tony Romo	@PHI	Romo's had quality fantasy games every week since the bye. Philly's no shutdown squad.
14	Ryan Fitzpatrick	@NE	Pats give up a ton of passing yards during garbage time. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the king of garbage time stats.
15	Michael Vick	DAL	He hasn't been great and this defense has been. Tread carefully.
16	Carson Palmer	@BAL	No DMC (or Goodson) means they'll throw more and even though it's the Ravens, that's a lot of volume.
17	Jay Cutler	HOU	He's got to stop completely sucking sometime, right? Why not at a time when nobody expects it?
18	Ryan Tannehill	TEN	Super-high on him this week. Titans are awful and I think he's got an "I'm-just-as-good-as-Luck" chip on his shoulder.
19	Joe Flacco	OAK	I hate him but Oakland can't stop anyone, even Flacco should find success against them.
20	Alex Smith	STL	I guess if you're going for safety, here's your guy. They'll win this game, which means he'll throw 16-for-18.
21	Jake Locker	@MIA	He's been a nice fantasy option before and Miami has been kind to QBs the past few games.
22	Blaine Gabbert	IND	The Colts are far from a tough matchup but Gabbert's really got to show that he can get it done.
23	Matt Schaub	@CHI	I'd be terrified to start anyone not named Rodgers, Brees or Brady against this defense. Yikes.
24	Christian Ponder	DET	He's fallen off but anyone can throw on this secondary if you're desperate.
25	Russell Wilson	NYJ	I need some consistency before I can put him higher than 20.
26	Matt Cassel	@PIT	It's doable considering they refuse to let Jamaal Charles run the ball but it's a reach to say the least.
27	Mark Sanchez	@SEA	Yeahhh, I just don't see this one, um, working out.
28	Sam Bradford	@SF	Good luck.
