5. (TIE) Donovan McNabb and Eli Manning

I normally detest ties in arbitrary, superfluous internet lists but I don't think there was any way to do this without including both of these NFL quarterbacks. Most think that a Donovan McNabb sans T.O. is a useful as Michael Vick (fantasy football speaking), but I wholeheartedly disagree. McNabb is a top fantasy QB and was before the Terrell Owens tornado swept through Philly. Most reports that I've read have Donovan in the best shape of his life, his Syracuse days included. Reggie Brown is a talented wide receiver and his progression will help McNabb who desperately needs a go-to guy. On the other hand, Eli Manning is only on this list because of his weapons. The New York Giants arguably, with my allegiance aside, have the most talented set of skill players in the NFL. Plaxico Burress, Jeremy Shockey, Amani Toomer, Tiki Barber, rookie Sinorice Moss- Eli Manning will have to work very hard to get off the 2007 list of Top Fantasy Football Quarterbacks.

4. Matt Hasselback

Matt Hasselback was a model of consistency last season. He was top ten in every major category and his interception total was the lowest of any member of this list. It should also be noted that Hasselback did most of this with an oft-injured receiver corps. Last year was also Hasselback's coming out party in a way. The quarterback was not terribly well known before last season's Super Bowl run and his stellar play under pressure only adds to his fantasy value.

3. Tom Brady

I'm not sold yet that Tom Brady's 2005 season wasn't a fantasy fluke. Nobody's denying how good the all-pro is in the clutch but with Bill Belichick's run first mentality and a new rookie running back in tow, I wouldn't be surprised if Brady's fantasy stats fall this season. That's not to say he won't have a great year. Like Hasselback, Brady is a model for fantasy football consistency. It might be hard to top his NFL best 4,110 yards but he's not going to kill you with a lot of interceptions and bad games.
