Top 10 QBs fantasysharks.com Tue 6/11/13 5:30 AM

1 - Aaron Rodgers - Arguments could be made for others, but Rodgers is just too sturdy and productive to ignore. On top of that, there is a very strong possibility that we have yet to see the best from Rodgers. The emergence of Randall Cobb and the healthy return of Jordy Nelson offer tremendous potential. The hopeful development of the running game could open things up a bit more as well. 2 - Peyton Manning - A strong case could be made for Manning to be drafted as the No. 1 quarterback. Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Wes Welker provide ample firepower for Manning, who will be a year further removed from his neck injury. The potential statistical output for Manning hasn't been this high since he and Marvin Harrison were lighting up the scoreboard. 3 - Drew Brees - The New Orleans Saints' main man has a knack for chasing records. That doesn't seem likely to change in 2013. With offensive guru Sean Payton back on the sideline, the offense should be set to get back to business in an explosive way. The New Orleans defense is a historically awful one that should create more than enough opportunities for shootouts. 4 - Tom Brady - It seems like a sin to have him outside the top 3 but the stars just don't seem to be aligning at the current time. Main threat Rob Gronkowski is in-and-out of surgery on a daily basis, fellow tight end Aaron Hernandez also has injury issues, and we're unsure as to if Danny Amendola can handle the role vacated by Wes Welker. Brady always seems to find a way to get it done, but the offense isn't as potent as in seasons past. 5 - Cam Newton - It was a tale of two seasons for Newton last year. For the first half of the year he looked to have taken a large step back from his rookie performance. His numbers were disappointing to say the least and his value was slipping quickly. But, all of a sudden, Newton found his form and started to rip off huge numbers. If Newton can perform at that second-half level for the entire year, the rushing numbers will be completely off the charts. 6 - Matt Ryan - The former Boston College Eagle took a step towards elite company last season but not as big of a step as most were expecting. He was as solid as a rock, but not as prolific as we were expecting. This season, Julio Jones hopes to avoid injury, Roddy White remains the elite veteran, Tony Gonzalez returns to provide greatness from the tight end position, and new addition Steven Jackson is set to catch all he can handle out of the backfield. The Falcons are loaded on offense, leaving the potential for Ryan to catch-up to the likes of Brees and Brady. 7 - Russell Wilson - Any rookie quarterback who played as well as Wilson with as many obstacles in his way deserves a high ranking. In addition to now being able to run with the first team offense for the entire preseason, the Seahawks decided to power up the passing game with the addition of Percy Harvin. If Sidney Rice can stay on the field as a secondary option, Harvin, along with Wilson's rushing ability, could add up to massive production. 8 - Colin Kaepernick - It's almost a coin flip between Wilson and Kaepernick at the No. 7 spot. Given the addition of Harvin and the loss of Michael Crabtree, Wilson gets the edge. Anquan Boldin will be a more than effective replacement for Crabtree, but there is still a lack of explosiveness. Perhaps that ability resides in Vernon Davis, but Kaepernick seemed to have a lack of vision towards the tight end position for the majority of his 2012 season. If he and Davis can get on the same page and Boldin can catch 70 balls, Kaepernick should be able to make up the difference with his rushing ability. 9 - Robert Griffin III - We don't know if he's as superhuman as Adrian Peterson, but the outlook at this point is nothing but promising. Griffin III needs to learn how to slide without giving up too much of his running game. It's a delicate balance and may take some time, but Griffin III has showed that he can handle pretty much anything. The most important player in regards to Griffin's production is wide receiver Pierre Garcon. It was easy to see that Griffin III was a different player with Garcon on the field. A lot needs to work out in his favor, but, if it does, the sky is the limit. 10 - Tony Romo - Let the jeers in the Tank begin! The Dallas defense lets up points by the boat load and the offense is completely stacked. Whether you like Romo or not as a player doesn't matter in the game of fantasy. Dez Bryant took a huge step forward last season, Miles Austin is still an above-average receiver when healthy, and Jason Witten is one of the best in the business. Matthew Stafford and Andrew Luck both deserve consideration here, but the Dallas offense is just too stacked to not take notice.
