1 Aaron Rodgers GB 10 540 355 4380 31 9 1 56 280 3 358
Can you believe it? Favre's replacement has become THE elite fantasy QB to own! His rushing yards and scores make the difference.
2 Drew Brees NO 10 562 375 4540 34 12 1 22 30 2 344
He's simply a passing machine. The talent around him makes him that much better. Can survey the field like no other. Quick strike ability helps too.
3 Peyton Manning IND 7 569 370 4480 35 13 0 20 10 1 336
He's become the underrated star fantasy performer. No longer thought of as THE QB to own, but that doesn't keep him from being an elite fantasy STUD.
4 Matt Schaub HOU 7 566 382 4560 28 14 1 33 60 1 324
He made it through 2009 unscathed and a top 5 fantasy QB. The team drafted a good rookie RB, but that doesn't mean a repeat for Schaub isn't likely.
5 Tom Brady NE 5 568 360 4320 28 14 1 30 50 1 311
He's still a top 10 fantasy QB, but with questions at wideout due to Wes Welker's injury, he's no longer top 5 material.
6 Tony Romo DAL 4 537 332 4240 27 10 1 32 90 1 308
There's nothing wrong with Romo himself, but his offensive line isn't giving him enough time to produce, as he slides in our poll.
7 Philip Rivers SD 10 499 308 4160 28 10 1 27 60 1 304
He slides a notch after the WR Vincent Jackson three-game suspension announcement. He will still have to produce with a rookie RB starting.
8 Jay Cutler CHI 8 562 348 3740 28 18 2 38 160 1 293
Cutler struggled with a whopping 26 picks in 2009. OC Mike Martz should settle down Cutler, making him a borderline fantasy starter, one with potential for more.
9 Eli Manning NYG 8 505 310 3980 26 15 2 18 60 1 289
After losing Burress & Toomer, he blew up for more than 4,000 passing yards in 2009. Look for that trend to continue in 2010.
10 Brett Favre MIN 4 515 340 4020 28 14 2 6 10 0 286
Favre drops a Tier due to the loss of WR Sidney Rice for most, if not all, of the 2010 season.
