Dynasty Rankings
Quarterbacks
9/22/13		 Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends

Every two weeks from now until the end of the season, I will be updating my dynasty rankings for PPR leagues, where each touchdown is worth six points. The age listed will be the player’s age on September 1, 2013.

Before we start the ranking, let’s first review the criteria that I will use to rank the quarterback position:

Considerations for QB

  • Six (or more) years of elite production remaining
  • Age
  • Age/skill of supporting cast
  • Talent
  • Durability
  • Proven consistency
  • Coaching/scheme stability


 Quarterbacks
Chg Rk Player Team Bye Age
1 Aaron Rodgers GB 4 29
Tier 2
2 Colin Kaepernick Better passer than Newton with similar athleticism. SF 9 25
3 Cam Newton CAR 4 24
4 Andrew Luck With Richardson around, high-volume passing performances may be a thing of the past. IND 8 23
5 Drew Brees NO 7 34
6 Matthew Stafford DET 9 25
Tier 3
7 Russell Wilson Hasn't been needed to carry offense yet…his time is coming. SEA 12 24
8 Robert Griffin III Lack of running makes owners wonder if he is under "doctor's orders" to limit his attempts. Lack of running makes owners wonder if he is under "doctor's orders" to limit his attempts. WAS 5 23
9 Matt Ryan ATL 6 28
10 Peyton Manning DEN 9 37
11 Tom Brady NE 10 36
Tier 4
12 Sam Bradford With a bevy at weapons at his disposal now, the Rams have opened up the offense. STL 11 25
13 Jay Cutler CHI 8 30
14 Ryan Tannehill Will probably be limited by Miami's balanced-offense philosphy for the near future. MIA 6 25
15 Tony Romo DAL 11 33
16 Andy Dalton CIN 12 25
17 Eli Manning NYG 9 32
Tier 5
18 EJ Manuel Hasn't run much yet, but has fared well through two home games. BUF 12 23
19 Joe Flacco BAL 8 28
20 Philip Rivers SD 8 31
21 Ben Roethlisberger PIT 5 31
22 Carson Palmer ARI 9 33
23 Matt Schaub HOU 8 32
24 Alex Smith KC 10 27

26 Michael Vick Has limped during parts or at the end of each of the Eagles' first three games. PHI 12 33
Tier 7
27 Josh Freeman Has plenty of talent (himself and surrounding him), but has looked like a shell of himself of late. TB 5 25
28 Jake Locker TEN 8 25
29 Christian Ponder MIN 5 25
30 Mike Glennon Rookie isn't ready but team isn't going to let Freeman sink the ship w/o making a change first. TB 5 23
31 Kirk Cousins WAS 5 25
