Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 17 2011 fantasy football quarterback rankings for those of you that finish the season out.
.
The Best
1. Drew Brees vs. Carolina:  Continues his assault on the record books and the pursuit for the #2 seed.
2. Cam Newton @ New Orleans:  Newton (20 passing TDs, 14 rushing) is having a magical record breaking season of his own.
3. Tom Brady vs. Buffalo:  Should break Marino’s record, but finish with the second most yards behind Brees.
4. Matthew Stafford @ Green Bay:  Setting Lions’ passing records, and with 36 passing TDs he’s clearly among the elite.
5. Eli Manning vs. Dallas:  Just 114 yards from having a higher single-season mark than his big brother.
6. Michael Vick vs. Washington:  Too little too late for the Eagles (and perhaps fantasy teams), but he and the Birds are coming on at the right time.
7. Matt Ryan vs. Tampa Bay:  Tampa’s ship has sank. Ryan should pick them apart.
8. Philip Rivers @ Oakland:  Hit a snag against the Lions, but should bounce back against the Raiders.
9.   Tony Romo @ New York Giants:  His banged up (hand), but he should play (and produce) against the Giants.
10. Aaron Rodgers vs. Detroit:  My fear is Rodgers sits some of this game out. He can do enough damage in three quarters though if it comes to it.
.
The Rest
11. Tim Tebow vs. Kansas City
12. Ryan Fitzpatrick @ New England
13. Kyle Orton @ Denver
14. Carson Palmer vs. San Diego
15. Mark Sanchez @ Miami
16. Ben Roethlisberger @ Cleveland
17. Andy Dalton vs. Baltimore

Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 16 2011 fantasy football quarterback rankings.
.
1. Drew Brees vs. Atlanta:  He’s averaging 341.4 yards per game. Insane.
2. Cam Newton vs. Tampa Bay:  Tampa is terrible and Cam is getting it done with his arm and feet.
3. Tom Brady vs. Miami:  The Fins are playing much better than when TB threw for 500+, but he’ll be tough to slow down.
4. Tony Romo vs. Philadelphia:  The Birds are playing better but Romo has so many weapons.
5. Philip Rivers @ Detroit:  Rivers picked the right time of the year to get hot.
6. Matthew Stafford vs. San Diego:  Megatron and Stafford reconnected last week. He’d be wise to go that direction again.
7. Matt Ryan @ New Orleans:  Expect an old-fashioned shootout. He threw for 351 and two TDs in their first meeting.
8.  Michael Vick @ Dallas:  Vick has breathed life back into the Birds. Finally ran one in last week.
9.  Aaron Rodgers vs. Chicago:  Packers appear to be letting their foot off the gas.
10. Tim Tebow @ Buffalo:  He couldn’t take down the Patriots, but he should be able to put a nice game in against the struggling Bills.
11.  Eli Manning @ New York Jets:  In the battle of the struggling NY teams, Eli is the one I’m expecting to bounce back.
12. Rex Grossman vs. Minnesota:  The Vikings secondary is gross. They have allowed 31 TDs with just six INTs.
13. Matt Moore @ New England:  Dolphins are playing good football and the Pats continue to struggle against the pass.
14.  Carson Palmer @ Kansas City:  Palmer is averaging 297.0 yards in his past four games, though he has four TDs to six INTs.
15.  Kyle Orton vs. Oakland:  Threw for 299 yards against the Pack and the Raiders have allowed the second most passing TDs (27).
16.  Mark Sanchez vs. New York Giants:  G-Men are tied for 27th with 25 passing TDs allowed.
17.  John Skelton @ Cincinnati:  Averaging 297.5 yards with four TDs in past two games.
18. Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Denver:  Needs to cut down on the picks (five in past two games), but has averaged 261.0 yards and 1.5 TDs in his past four games.
19. Joe Flacco vs. Cleveland:  Browns giving up just 188.4 passing ypg.
20.  Alex Smith @ Seattle:  Won’t be asked to do much, but with 16 TDs and just five INTs he shouldn’t hurt you.

Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 15 2011 fantasy football quarterback rankings.
.
1. Drew Brees @ Minnesota: Brees is averaging 336 yards per game putting him on pace to shatter the single-season record. The Vikings have allowed more passing TDs than anyone.
2. Aaron Rodgers @ Kansas City: Rodgers has 39 passing TDs. He lost his top WR, but plenty of weapons remain.
3. Tom Brady @ Denver: Also on pace to shatter Marino’s passing record.
4. Cam Newton @ Houston: Continues to dominate with his arm and his feet.
5. Tony Romo @ Tampa Bay: Romo has 26 TDs to nine INTs. The Bucs rank 27th against the pass at 248.8 ypg allowed.
6. Matthew Stafford @ Oakland: Has 29 TD passes. Raiders are one of seven teams to have allowed 23 TDs.
7. Eli Manning vs. Washington: Averaging 315.8 ypg with a 2.1-1 TD-INT ratio.
8. Philip Rivers vs. Baltimore: It may be too late for his fantasy owners, but if you’re still alive you’re finally being rewarded.
9. Matt Ryan vs. Jacksonville: When Julio Jones is on, it makes it nearly impossible to stop Atlanta’s passing attack.
10. Tim Tebow vs. New England: Patriots have the league’s worst pass defense. Tebow continues to find ways to win and put up solid fantasy points.
11. Mark Sanchez @ Philadelphia: Seven passing TDs and two rushing with just one pick and one fumble in his past three games. Eagles have allowed 23 passing scores.
12. Michael Vick vs. New York Jets: Tough match-up but the dual threat Vick could exploit the Jets’ aggressive defense.
13. Ben Roethlisberger @ San Francisco: Showed his toughness last week. Has extra time to heal. Having limited mobility against Niners could be tough.
14. Rex Grossman @ New York Giants: Averaging 269.8 yards in his past four games. G-Men rank 29th against the pass (263.7).
15. Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Miami: Looked like he was back, but stumbled last week. Miami has 25th ranked pass defense (244.2 ypg).
16. Carson Palmer vs. Detroit: The Lions can be exploited, but Palmer is an INT risk against an opportunistic Lions defense (18 INTs on the year).
17. Andy Dalton @ St. Louis: Held to under 200 yards the past two games, but they were against elite passing defenses. Should be easier this week, but Benson will do a lot of the heavy lifting.
18. Joe Flacco @ San Diego: Only eight passing TDs in his past ten games with seven picks.
19. Josh Freeman vs. Dallas: Eight INTs in his past four games.
20. T.J. Yates vs. Carolina: It will be run heavy for the Texans, but Yates isn’t just a game manager.

Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 14 2011 fantasy football quarterback rankings.
.
1. Aaron Rodgers @ Oakland:  Has a remarkable 37 TDs (plus two rushing) to just five INTs.
2. Drew Brees @ Tennessee:  Leads the NFL with 4031 yards.
3. Cam Newton vs. Atlanta:  Only has 13 passing TDs, but 13 rushing TDs set an NFL record for QBs.
4. Tom Brady @ Washington:  Right behind Brees with 3916 yards and a matching 30 TD passes.
5. Matthew Stafford vs. Minnesota:  The Vikes made Tebow look good. Plus Stafford’s finger looked better.
6. Tony Romo vs. New York Giants:  Big letdown against the Cards, but has 11 TDs to two INTs in past five games.
7. Philip Rivers vs. Buffalo:  Bills are having a hard time stopping anybody right now.
8. Eli Manning @ Dallas:  Two straight losses but combined for 753 yards and five TDs.
9. Matt Ryan @ Carolina:  Slowed by Houston’s fierce defense. Should be an easier task this week.
10. Carson Palmer vs. Green Bay:  Packers continue to struggle against the pass. Should be solid if he can limit the mistakes.
11.  Michael Vick @ Miami:  After VY’s disaster on Thursday, Vick should back in the saddle. This team has sunk though.
12. Ben Roethlisberger vs. Cleveland:  League the league with 173.3 ypg allowed. Ben should raise that number.
13.  Joe Flacco vs. Indianapolis:  Colts have allowed 21 passing TDs with just five INTs.
14. Tim Tebow vs. Chicago:  Bears can limit his running and be troublesome when he passes.
15.  Rex Grossman vs. New England:  The Pats let Orlovsky do his Peyton Manning impression.
16.  Alex Smith @ Arizona:  Has 15 TDs and five INTs on the year.
17. Ryan Fitzpatrick @ San Diego:  Averaging 276.0 yards and 2.0 TDs in past two games.
18. Mark Sanchez vs. Kansas City:  Besides Week 12 he has three TDs and four INTs since the Week 8 bye.
19.  Kevin Kolb vs. San Francisco:  Niners can be passed on. Fitz can help provide a decent game.
20.  Matt Moore vs. Philadelphia:  Eagles have allowed 22 passing TDs. .

Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 13 2011 fantasy football quarterback rankings.
.
1.  Aaron Rodgers @ New York Giants:  He has 33 TDs (plus two rushing) and four INTs.
2.  Tom Brady vs. Indianapolis:  Pats will show no mercy. Their offense is humming topping 30 for three straight weeks. TB has six straight multiple TD games.
3.  Drew Brees vs. Detroit:  Likely won’t have to face Suh this week.
4.  Cam Newton @ Tampa Bay:  Up to ten rushing TDs on the year. Tampa can’t stop the run or the pass.
5.  Tony Romo @ Arizona:  Has ten TD passes in the past four games.
6.  Matthew Stafford @ New Orleans:  Extra time for his thumb to heal. Hopefully he’ll stop throwing to the wrong jersey (nine INT in past three games).
7.  Matt Ryan @ Houston:  Has nine TDs in his past four games.
8.  Eli Manning vs. Green Bay:  Packers suddenly look tougher on defense, but Eli remains a solid QB1.
9.  Tim Tebow @ Minnesota:  He’s produced in just about every start. The Vikes pass defense could even make Tebow look good.
10.  Vince Young @ Seattle: Short week likely means another game for VY.
11.  Philip Rivers @ Jacksonville:  Has nine TDs in his past four games. Actually didn’t throw a pick last week.
12.  Ben Roethlisberger vs. Cincinnati:  Only has three TDs in his past three games.
13.  Andy Dalton @ Pittsburgh:  Averaging 257.5 yards with seven TDs in his past four games.
14.  Matt Mooore vs. Oakland:  Has seven TDs with just one pick in past four games.
15.  Carson Palmer @ Miami:   Averaging 274.0 yards with six TDs in past four games.
16.  Alex Smith vs. St. Louis:  Has 13 TDs with just five picks on the year.
17.  Joe Flacco @ Cleveland:  Browns lead the league by giving up just 174.7 passing yards per game.
18.  Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Tennessee:  Bounced back last week with three TDs but I’m not ready to say he’s back.
19.  Mark Sanchez @ Washington:  Ditto Fitzpatrick.
20.  Matt Hasselbeck @ Buffalo:  Sanchez had four TD passes against them last week so there is a chance.    .
