Passing yards are at on all time high, especially through only 2 weeks, making fantasy quarterbacks more important than they've ever been. Whether its Tom Brady going over 500 yards on Monday Night Football, or Cam Newton putting up over 400 yards in his first two games in the NFL, quarterbacks have never put up more fantasy points. Make sure you get a top quarterback if you want to compete in week 3.
Week 3
WEEKLY
1. Tom Brady
Brady is on pace to set every passing record in the NFL after his first two weeks. It is unlikely he will keep up this pace, but the Bills gave up 35 points to the Raiders, and will have no success slowing down the Pats. Brady is the early favorite for MVP, and definitely the best fantasy QB in the league.
2. Phillip Rivers
Rivers has not been great out of the gate, but he has been solid, and should pick up the pace against KC who has given up 89 points in their first two games. Rivers and the Chargers will thrash the Chiefs, in a solid bounce back game after returning home from New England.
3. Ben Roethlisberger
Big Ben had an awful first week against an inspired Baltimore defense, but he got on track against a bad Seahawks defense, which will carry over against the Colts on Sunday Night. The Colts defense made Colt McCoy look unstoppable after he couldn't move the ball against the Bengals in week 1. Roethlisberger to Wallace will put up even bigger numbers than the Browns in a route.
4. Drew Brees
The Texans defense looks the best it has ever looked, but the Saints just put up 30 on a strong Bears defense at home in week 2. Drew Brees is unstoppable in the Superdome. It will be up to Matt Schaub and the Texans offense to make this a game because Brees will light up the scoreboard.
5. Aaron Rodgers
The Packers have a tough matchup this week at Chicago. The Bears are tough and will play inspired against their division rival. However, that is the only reason Rodgers is down to five on this list because he continues to put up big numbers every week no matter the opponent.
Sleeper: Ryan Fitzpatrick
The Bills offense has been great through two weeks against a terrible and mediocre team. New England will be a much tougher test, but the Patriots offense is not the strength of their team. Fitzpatrick should put up big numbers as the Bills try to keep up with Tom Brady and the Pats in a shootout.
