Week 1 Quarterback Rankings/Projections

1. Drew Brees (ATL) -- The second highest drafted quarterback in most leagues has an excellent matchup vs a weak Atlanta secondary and he will throw a ton. 330 yds. 3 tds. 0 int

2. Matt Ryan (NO) -- Ryan really broke out last season and New Orleans has a sad pass defense, look for him to put up a lot of points.  270 yds. 3.5 tds. 0 int

3. Peyton Manning (BAL) -- Manning takes on the super bowl champs and will tear apart their two new safeties and new look defense with his new weapon, Welker.  270 yds. 3 tds. 0 int

4. Tom Brady (BUF) -- The Bills have a bad defense and will get dominated in time of possession by NE because of their equally bad offense as Brady breaks in new WRs.  290 yd. 2.5 tds. 0 int

5. Andrew Luck (OAK) -- Maybe the best matchup in the NFL the only downside is it could be a blowout and the Colts won't throw as much.  260 yds. 3 td. 1 rush td. 20 rush yds. 0 int

6. Aaron Rodgers (SF) -- Maybe his worst matchup all year but he still will put up points but not a good completion percentage.  240 yds. 2.5 tds. 20 rush yds. 1 int

7. Tony Romo (NYG) -- A poor secondary in this matchup for Romo as this could be a shootout where Romo throws a ton.  300 yds. 3 tds. 10 rush yds. 2 int

8. Matthew Stafford (MIN) -- Stafford will throw multiple touchdowns and his new weapon Bush will get him a ton of yards off of check downs.  290 yds. 2.5 tds. 2 int

9. Robert Griffin III (PHI) -- He's playing a beatable secondary in his first game back from injury, expect mistakes but decent performance by his standards.  260 yards. 2.5 tds. 2 int. 35 rush yd 1 rush td

10. Colin Kaepernick (GB) -- Against a good secondary Kaep and he could be handcuffed running as GB doesn't want him to beat them running like in the playoffs. 240 yds. 2 tds. 2 int. 40 rush yd. 1 rush td

11. Michael Vick (WAS) -- 210 yds. 2 tds. 1.5 int. 40 rush yd. 1.5 rush td
