Top Daily Fantasy Football QBs in 2015
Some of the most expensive fantasy football players on FanDuel.com are the Quarterbacks. Without a stud quarterback leading your team, the odds of winning big fantasy money is remote at best - as you will be missing out on major points that other opponents will be racking up. So, pay attention to matchups and use the list of top daily fantasy football quarterbacks below to start you weekly fantasy football roster.
Don’t forget to look at all of these QBs when you are playing in some of the HUGE fantasy football contests for real money at FanDuel. The FanDuel Fantasy Football Championship gave out $10 Million in prizes last year and 2015 will no doubt again make a lot of NFL football fans very RICH!
2015 Daily Fantasy Quarterback Rankings
1. Aaron Rodgers (QB - Green Bay Packers)
Since 2009, Rodgers has finished either 1st or 2nd for quarterback fantasy football points 5 times. The exception was in 2013 when he broke his collarbone and missed 7 games. Green Bay has numerous offensive weapons and are willing to use them.
2. Andrew Luck (QB - Indianapolis Colts)
He has ups and downs, but this kid is still getting better. Making a QB/WR combo with TY Hilton will usually put you ahead of the game in your fantasy football contest. He launched 40 TDs in 2014 and you can probably expect similar totals in 2015.
3. Matt Ryan (QB - Atlanta Falcons)
Ryan has averaged 1.5 TDs and 280 yards a game for the past 5 years. Julio Jones makes them a deadly QB/WR combo for your weekly lineup. He is usually not on the top end of the salary cap for FanDuel, so he is worth looking at each week.
4. Russell Wilson (QB - Seattle Seahawks)
Although Wilson has never thrown for more than 3500 yards in a season and his TD numbers are average, he gets bonus points for being a running QB. He now has TE Jimmy Graham which will lead to more TDs. He is usually a salary cap bargain at the top daily fantasy sites.
5. Peyton Manning (QB - Denver Broncos)
Manning is nearing the end of his career, but still has Demaryius Thomas and can throw 3-4 TDs on any given Sunday. Look for weeks with good matchups when Denver faces stout running defences and Manning is a good salary cap value - then jump in and count your points!
6. Ben Roethlisberger(QB - Pittsburgh Steelers)
Big Ben continues to turn out Big Numbers! He’s got a pass-catching RB and fast WRs to throw to. He was just shy of 5000 yards last year, and with a horrible defense in Steeler Nation…expect Big Ben to be throwing a lot in 2015 - especially in good weather games.
7. Tony Romo (QB - Dallas Cowboys)
Having lost their top fantasy football running back in DeMarco Murray, the Cowboys may be inclined to throw more in 2015. And why not? They have Dez Bryant as their #1 Wide Receiver, a solid #2 in Terrance Williams and an aging but still talented TE in Jason Witten.
8. Matthew Stafford (QB - Detroit Lions)
One of the best fantasy football QB/WR combos in the NFL is Stafford/Johnson. Stafford's numbers declined last season because the Lions' defense was so good that he became a game manager. Pick your spots to use the deadly Stafford/Johnson combo stack.
9. Tom Brady (QB - New England Patriots)
Brady has weeks he only throws the ball…and then weeks where the Patriots only run. However, the Brady/Gronk QB/TE combo can win a fantasy week by itself, but pick your spots and hope that coach Belichick doesn’t screw you with his game plan that day.
10. Cam Newton (QB - Carolina Panthers)
Newton is your typical “High Risk - High Reward” guy. He can throw, he can run, he can put up massive fantasy football numbers…or he can bomb out. Newton has a few solid weapons with WR Kelvin Benjamin and TE Greg Olsen which can be huge in offensive shootouts.
