In 2004, two quarterbacks took center stage in the fantasy game. If you had either Daunte Culpepper from the Minnesota Vikings or Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts, you probably got premiere production from the quarterback position that season. Of course, if you went to select either of those quarterbacks for last season, then you were in for a very unpleasant surprise as neither of them had much of a fantasy impact in 2005.

That anecdote is to impress to you that selecting a quarterback is one of the hardest things do do in fantasy football. You'll be able to pick up at least one top running back and wide receiver with ease in most drafts as there are more available to you. Consider that the quarterback position is probably the most important position on the field for a given team and it makes you decision that much harder.

Well, no more. I've gone through the trouble of going through everyone's stats last season, including quarterbacks who will be starters for the first time this season or returning from injuries. I'll give you my top ten based on last year's stats, their improvement, and factors such as offensive scheme, coaches, and weapons surrounding them. I'll also highlight some sleeper quarterbacks who may not be highly rated but that I like for this upcoming season and maybe some to avoid. That being said, we'll start with your top ten, from ten to one. I happen to have five quarterbacks each from the AFC and NFC, but that was not planned.

Top 10 Fantasy Quarterbacks

Takeaways
  • Quarterback is a position that most likely not win you games, but will lose them.
  • Pick a quarterback who will remain consistent.
  • Don't reach for a quarterback, you'll get one to drop to you.

You have this soft spot for Trent Green, don't you? I like him, I don't know if he's on my top 10, though. Brady over Manning is a stretch, but I can see why when you consider last season. GREAT JOB!!!
