2012 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings by Tier

.
Here?s a look at the LestersLegends 2012 fantasy football quarterback rankings by tier.
.
.
Tier One: ?Truly the elite. They have routinely put up monster numbers. These QBs should be taken within the first two rounds.
.?
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers: I had him ranked number one last year. 4643 passing yards, 257 rushing yards, 48 total TDs (45 passing), six INTs later I haven?t changed my opinion.
.
Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints: The team is in a crap storm right now, and he will miss Sean Payton, but Brees shattered the passing record last year with 5476 yards and 46 TDs.
.
Tom Brady, New England Patriots: I foolishly thought the because he had some monster games along with some stinkers that he wasn?t a top five fantasy QB last year. I won?t make that mistake again. Adding Brandon Lloyd to Gronk, Welker, and Hernandez makes him even more dangerous.
.
.
Tier Two:? Both are coming off monster years, but need to prove that they are for real. These QBs should be taken in the third or fourth round.
.
Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers: They added Mike Tolbert, which could cut into the 14 TDs he ran for last year. Still with 4051 passing yards, 21 passing scores, and 706 rushing yards it?s hard not to imagine another monster fantasy year from Cam.
.
Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions: Am I giving him too much credit? Hard to say that when you have the game?s most dominating receiver. Not to mention coming off a 5038 yard, 41 TD season.
.
.
Tier Three: ?They have routinely delivered, but they have had warts at time. Still, they are quality QB1s. These QBs should go in rounds five through seven.
.
Eli Manning, New York Giants: With more passing yards (4933) than Peyton ever threw, along with 29 TDs, and two Super Bowl rings, it?s safe to say he?s out of his brother?s shadow. Call me crazy, but I think he?s a safer fantasy play too.
.
Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers: 4624 yards and 27 TDs is considered a bad year (20 INTs) for Rivers. I?ll take that to the bank.
.?
Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys: Romo threw for 4184 yards, 31 TDs, and just ten INTs. He has as many weapons as anybody.
.
.
Tier Four: ?Still solid QB1s. Come at a better value, but aside from Ryan who has yet to turn in an elite performance, they have some injury concerns. These QBs should be taken in the sixth through eighth rounds.
?.
Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers are committed to becoming a more pass-happy team. With his weapons, Big Ben should deliver.
.
Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons: With Roddy White and Julio Jones there aren?t many QBs with a better 1-2 punch at WR at their disposal.
.
Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles: Last year was a disaster for Vick, though he threw for a career high 3303 yards. I expect more rushing TDs and some explosive games, but you are going to have injury issues.
.
Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos: He?s Peyton so I suppose I have to give him the benefit of a top ten ranking, but he?s in a new place, where weather could play a factor, and potentially worse weapons puts Peyton in an unfamiliar spot (out of the top five).
.
.
Tier Five: ?These are either backup fantasy QBs or they are starters if you decided to address other needs. Still have QB1 potential, but they have some concerns. These QBs should be taken in rounds eight through ten.
.
Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears:? Reuniting with Brandon Marshall?and?adding Alshon Jeffrey in the draft gives Cutler the best weapons since his days in Denver.
.
Matt Schaub, Houston Texans:? If he and Andre Johnson can stay healthy, Schaub will be a fringe QB1.
.
.
Tier Six: ?Solid backup fantasy QBs. ?These QBs should be taken in rounds nine through eleven.
.
Alex Smith,?San Francisco 49ers:? Randy Moss is said to be looking good. With Mario Manningham, Michael Crabtree, and Vernon Davis, Smith has plenty of options.
.
Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts:? He?ll?have bumps along the way, but he also brings a lot of anticipation. Having Reggie Wayne to lean on helps.
.
Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals:? Had a solid rookie year and should continue to progress with A.J. Green.
.
Carson Palmer, Oakland Raiders: ?He looked OK with the Raiders last year. Seems to be back to form.
.
Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens:? I expect more from Torrey Smith this year, which will help Flacco?s numbers.
.
Robert Griffith III, Washington Redskins:? RG3?seems to have what it takes to deliver right?away, but you never quite?know?with rookies.
.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buffalo Bills:? He?s thrown 23 and 24 TDs the past two years. If he can bounce back from his second-half slide he should be a decent QB2.
.
.
Tier Seven: ?Riskier back-up QBs. These QBs should be taken in rounds ten through sixteen.
.
Christian Ponder, Minnesota Vikings: ?He has better weapons and a better grasp for the game. Should take a step forward in his second year.
.
Jake Locker, Tennessee Titans: ?Has to beat out Matt Hasslebeck, which isn?t inevitable at this point, at least for Week 1.
.
Josh Freeman, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: ?Had a miserable 2011 campaign, but the Bucs added Vincent Jackson, which should help.
.
Mark Sanchez, New York Jets: ?I wouldn?t draft him to be my backup, but I?d keep an eye on him if he ?has early success.
.
Matt Flynn, Seattle Seahawks: ?Getting the big bucks going from backup to starter for a new team doesn?t always pan out.
.
Sam Bradford, St. Louis Rams: ?He had success as a rookie before floundering as a sophomore. I?m not writing him off just yet.
