Pre-Season Top 30 Quarterbacks

Post-Draft Quarterback Rankings

Following the 2015 NFL draft, it is officially time to start planning ahead for the upcoming fantasy football season. I play on Yahoo and they already have mock drafts available, which can help you get to know where each individual player is getting drafted. 

Now since the teams are getting prepared to make their rosters and get ready for Pre-Season, below is a list of my personal quarterback rankings and why. ENJOY! 

2015 Top 30 Quarterback Rankings as of May 11th, 2015

  1. Andrew Luck (Colts): Why not Luck? He passed for 4,761 yards and 40 touchdowns (which was the most in the league. Andrew Luck and the Colts will be even better this season due to a better running attack with the addition of Frank Gore, which has rushed for over 1,000 yards in the past 8 out of 9 seasons. The Colts have also added ex-Texan Andre Johnson and Rookie Phillip Dorsett to join T.Y. Hilton. Andrew Luck will not only match his passing yards this year, but will throw for more touchdowns. Watch out Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck is coming for your Touchdown Record. 
  2. Aaron Rodgers (Packers): Have you ever doubted Rodgers? Aaron Rodgers has been the most consistent quarterback in fantasy football for the past 7 years, except when he was injured a few years back. He has consistently thrown around 30 touchdowns or more and for 4,000 yards. If you want consistency on your team, draft Aaron Rodgers. 
  3. Russel Wilson (Seahawks): You thought he was great last year? You haven't seen anything yet.  Not only does he have Marshawn Lynch to take pressure of of him but the Seahawks added Jimmy Graham from the Saints. With a new big red zone target, Wilson will likely throw 5 to 10 more touchdowns than last year. Russel Wilson is a great draft pick to match up with Jimmy Graham if you can draft both. 
  4. Peyton Manning (Broncos): Manning is back once again, but this time with a new coaching staff. With Gary Kubiak being a more conservative play caller, will Manning and the Broncos see similar passing yardage and touchdowns as in the past? I think so, even though they will run more. Peyton Manning is the ultimate play caller with a great receivers around him  that can change things up at the line and has never disappointed fantasy owners since he has been in the league. 
  5. Matt Ryan (Falcons): Can you say air time? Matt Ryan's worst year passing yard wise has been 4,177 yards in the past 4 years. Ryan and the Falcons like to air the ball out due to having one of the most dynamic Wide Receivers in the game in Julio Jones. Even with new coaches, I don't see anything changing anytime soon with their offense. Lock down Matt Ryan to get your 300 yard bonuses. 
  6. Drew Brees (Saints): Can Brees still put up the numbers without Jimmy Graham? I think so due to him passing for over 4,000 yards that past 9 seasons and 3 of those being over 5,000 yards. Drew Brees is like the energizer bunny and will just keep going and going. The Saints will come into the 2015 Season looking a little different in my opinion by running the ball more often. That will open things up for Brees. Draft Brees and watch him get his 10th straight season over 4,000 yards. 
  7. Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers): Big Ben puts up big numbers. The first 3 games this season he will be passing more than usual due to Le'Veon Bell being suspended . When he returns, Roethlisberger will continue his dominance by throwing the ball to elite wide receiver Antonio Brown and the giant 6'04" Martavis Bryant. You will see Big Ben have his bad games, but put up the numbers needed for you to win. 
  8. Eli Manning (Giants): ELI!!! Manning is the biggest steal in the draft quarterback wise in my opinion. He has the most talented wide receiver in the NFL in Odell Beckham Jr. and also has Victor Cruz coming back from his season ending injury he suffered last season. Eli Manning and the Giants will only get better and you will see him look like he did when he beat Tom Brady in 2 Super Bowls.  
  9. Matthew Stafford (Lions): Can you say Calvin Johnson! Having the almighty Megatron back at 100 percent will only make Stafford dominant. Last season Stafford threw for 4,257 Yards and 22 touchdowns with Golden Tate being his number one receiver most of the season. With Johnson and Tate both on the field, the Lions will throw at will. 
  10. Tony Romo (Cowboys): I didn't originally have Romo in my top 10 until the NFL revealed Tom Brady was suspended for the first 4 games. That being said, Tony Romo has the best offensive line in the NFL that will give him time to throw down field. That line will also help the running game, which will take pressure off him as well. Romo and Dez Bryant will once again see the end zone 20 plus times together and be known as the ultimate duo. 
Just Outside the Top 10

11. Tom Brady (Patriots): I had him at number 9 until his suspension. He is a great draft pick if you have a 2 quarterback league. Make sure you do not over draft him due to his name. 
12. Philip Rivers (Chargers): Does Rivers really want to be in San Diego? I don't think so. I believe Rivers will be great, but fall apart half the season. Rivers is outside my top ten this year due to his collapse last year and the drama that has happened off the field this spring. 
13. Ryan Tannehill (Dolphins): What can I really say? I mean Tannehill passed for over 4,000 yards for the first time in his career and 27 touchdowns last season. With the Dolphins adding rookie wide receiver DeVante Parker, ex-Saint Kenny Still and tight end Jordan Cameron, Tannehill is ready to have his biggest season yet. Grab him, but not too early.
