2013 FANTASY FOOTBALL UPDATED QB RANKINGS

With Week 14 beckoning, now is a great time to take a closer look at the latest set of fantasy football QB rankings. 

1.  Peyton Manning:  Has not slowed down one bit as he comes off a 5-TD game in Week 13.  Amazing stuff.
2.  Drew Brees:  Dud against Seattle the only blip on another excellent season.
3.  Tony Romo:  Time to full appreciate the great QB Tony Romo is and has been for awhile.  At least in fantasy football terms.
4.  Matthew Stafford:  If he could just curb the INT's a bit Stafford would challenge Brees and Romo.
5.  Russell Wilson:  Yeah he doesn't throw for 300 yards often but Wilson continues to throw touchdowns and use his legs to great effect.
6.  Aaron Rodgers:  This is a small hit due to Rodgers being injured but by next season he will return to the top three as usual.
7.  Nick Foles:  Still waiting for his first INT after 19 touchdown passes.  One away from tying the Peyton Manning record.  Eagles have their QB for the next five years at least.
8.  Tom Brady:  Typically got hot when Gronk and friends returned from being hurt. 
9.  Ben Roethlisberger:  Never been a fan but I can't argue with his extreme passing numbers since Week 9.
10. Cam Newton:  A bit up and down still but Newton clicking in both the passing and running game down the stretch once again.
11. Matt Ryan:  Had his season sabotaged by injuries to his receivers but Roddy White's health could portend to big finish.  Late dip will have his 2014 draft price very attractive.  I am buying.
12. Philip Rivers:  Has had a small comeback season but still not back to where he was from 2008-2010.
13. Jay Cutler:  Just has to stay healthy to enjoy the benefits of the best receiving corps in football.
14. Andrew Luck:  Major step back for Luck in 2013 as my prediction he could be a first round pick in 2014 looks way off.  Still has massive potential however. 
15. Mike Glennon:  Really like this kid.  Has shown no hesitation to throw it downfield and could be and is already close when talking about being an every week guy.
16. Andy Dalton:  Throws for a very good clip of touchdowns but the interceptions come along for the ride too which limits his ceiling.
17. Colin Kaepernick:  Told you all to give it another season before you invested heavily and that assessment looks smart.  Has looked nothing like the force he was the second half of last season.
18. Eli Manning:  Willing to give Manning another look as a backup next season but that's it due to massive turnover penchant.
19. Alex Smith:  Once again Smith is solid but unspectacular. 
20. Robert Griffin III:  This might seem like a harsh ranking but other than collecting scores in garbage time, Griffin has been brutal.
21. Matt Schaub:  Will find a starting spot somewhere but career is going in wrong direction.
22. Carson Palmer:  Like a Dalton clone with his combination of touchdowns and turnovers.  Makes for a great QB 2 however.
23. Ryan Fitzpatrick:  Here is predicting Fitzpatrick is the starting in Week 1 next season for Tennessee as he has looked very solid since replacing Jake Locker.  Another very good QB 2 option.
24. Ryan Tannehill:  Still haven't seen nearly enough production to rely on as anything more than a QB 2.
25. Joe Flacco:  Tough spot to place a former Super Bowl MVP but every season Flacco is the definition of being fantasy football mediocre.
26. E.J. Manuel:  Potential is there but give it more time.
27. Matt McGloin:  Has the inside track to the starting job next season based on solid work since going under center.

There you have it.  As always let us know what you think.
