Week 1 of the NFL season was interesting for quarterbacks, to say the least.
Before getting to our Week 2 QB rankings, let’s take a glance back at some of the stats and storylines:
Peyton Manning‘s last 5 regular season games (dating to 2014): 7 interceptions, 3 touchdowns.
Marcus Mariota is not going throw 4 TDs every game, but the Buccaneers might give up another 4 this weekend.
When healthy, Carson Palmer is a very reliable fantasy option.
Sam Bradford really has the potential to throw for 300 yards every game in Chip Kelly’s offense.
This season, Andy Dalton will be more 2013 Andy Dalton than 2014 Andy Dalton.
Without a reliable wide receiver, Cam Newton’s fantasy value will plummet. He doesn’t have one.
Each week I’ll be posting fantasy football rankings for quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and defenses/special teams. Bookmark our fantasy football rankings 2015 page to keep up-to-date on the latest projections and rankings so you know you who to start and who to sit.
