1. Drew Brees - Super Bowl QB will put on a show vs. a Vikings secondary that can be beat. Top fantasy football QB in Week 1 and will top 300 yards and 3 TDs.
2. Peyton Manning - More receiving options than ever to work with and Manning always lights up the Texans D. 300 yards and 3 TDs.
3. Aaron Rodgers – Very few defenses could stop Rodgers and Co. a year ago and the Eagles can be beat deep. Look for over 250 yards and 3 TDs in Week 1.
4. Phillip Rivers – The Chiefs inability to pressure opposing QBs will allow Rivers to connect with his receivers all evening long. 250 yards and 2 TDs.
Next In Line
Kevin Kolb – There are question marks in the Packers secondary. Look for Kolb to have a strong day throwing to DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin.
Tom Brady - The Bengals DB’s are a strength, but it’s tough to stop Moss and Welker an entire afternoon.
Tony Romo - The Cowboys are stacked at the skill positions and Romo always does well against the Redskins.
A Few More
Carson Palmer - The Patriots’ secondary has been exposed in recent years and Palmer should have a nice day throwing to T.O., Ochocinco and the rest of the Bengals receivers. 240 yards and 2 TDs.
Matt Schaub – It could be a shootout vs. the Colts and Schaub is no stranger to airing it out.
Derek Anderson - The Rams are horrible. WR Larry Fitzgerald is back for this one and the Cards should do considerable damage through the air.
Matt Cassel - The Chargers pass rush has been non existent and the Chiefs have some weapons now for Cassel to throw to.
Fantasy Sleeper of the Week
Chad Henne – The Bills are thin along the line and young in the secondary and the Dolphins get to play in Buffalo when the weather is nice. Henne’s a nice fantasy sleeper pick and should put up 225 and 2 TDs throwing to Marshall and Co. all afternoon.
