Fantasy Football NFL Rankings & Predictions:Top Quarterbacks in Week 2
With Week 1 of the 2014 NFL season in the books, Fantasy Football owners everywhere are setting their roster for Week 2.
As usual, most of the attention is paid to the quarterback. When a quarterback gets on a hot streak, he can reward you with a lot of points.
Week 2 has a lot of interesting match-ups for Fantasy Football players for starting quarterbacks. On the other hand, you must be sure to not to start a particular quarterback in a certain situation.
Start
Peyton Manning against the Kansas City Chiefs
Since becoming the quarterback of the Denver Broncos, Manning has owned the Chiefs. Manning is a perfect 4-0 against them. Despite going 11-5 last season, the Chiefs still couldn't stop Manning. The Broncos host the Chiefs Sunday at home, and Manning should be a lock for a great game.
Aaron Rodgers against the New York Jets
The Jets actually do have a good defense, but there's no way the Green Bay Packers are falling to 0-2. Aaron Rodgers should find a way to win at home and put up big numbers. The Jets had an impressive Week 1 victory against the Oakland Raiders, but this challenge will be a bit tougher at Lambeau Field.
Drew Brees against the Cleveland Browns
Are the New Orleans Saints really going to start off 0-2? The Browns' defense is average at best, and the Saints' high powered offense should find a way to put the ball in the end zone. Without safety T.J. Ward, the Browns will struggle to stop the deep ball.
Nick Foles and Andrew Luck on Monday Night Football
The Philadelphia Eagles and Indianapolis Colts will face off on Monday Night Football in Indy. There's a good chance this will be a high-scoring affair. The Eagles allowed the most passing yards in the entire league last season, and the Colts defense isn't elite. Foles and Luck should be scheduled for a quarterback duel this week.
Sit
Phillip Rivers against the Seattle Seahawks
There's no denying that Rivers is a great quarterback, but there's one problem for fantasy owners: he's facing the Legion of Boom. Good luck, Rivers. The Seahawks are without a doubt the best defensive unit in all of football, and they proved that by shutting down Aaron Rodgers in Week 1.
Derek Carr against the Houston Texans
The second draft round pick this year will be facing the Texans defense led by J.J. Watt. Carr did have two touchdowns in his debut, but just 151 yards passing for the day. To make things worse for Carr, Maurice Jones drew is not expected to play, which will put more pressure on him.
Risky
Jay Cutler against the San Francisco 49ers
Cutler is the type of quarterback who can have a great game or a terrible game any week of the season. Playing against the 49ers on the road doesn't paint a pretty picture for this heavy turnover team that is the Chicago Bears.
Tony Romo against the Tennessee Titans
With Tony Romo coming off a terrible three interception game against the San Francisco 49ers and back surgery in the offseason, you just can't be sure. The Titans had an impressive 26-10 victory over the Chiefs in Week 1. This game will be played in Tennessee, so the Cowboys will not have the crowd on their side.
