Flapjacks Fantasy Football Preview - QBs 6-10



#6 - Aaron Rodgers: '08 - 4,038 yds 28 tds/13 int. 207 rush yds 4 tds

Rodgers put up great numbers last season and has a true #1 weapon with Greg Jennings. He should get a little more help from Ryan Grant this year, which should open up things a bit more in the passing game. Rodgers is also a threat on the ground, rushing for over 200 yds and 4 scores.

2009 prediction - 4,115 yds 29 tds/ 15 int. 200 rush yds 3 tds
#7 - Matt Ryan: '08 - 3,440 yds 16 tds/11 int. 104 rush yds 1 td
Ryan was a fantasy surprise last year as a rookie and he has plenty of weapons around him. He has a great running game, a stud WR in Roddy White, and now an All-Pro tight end in Tony Gonzalez. Ryan ranked only 18th in pass attempts last year, but that number will definitely rise, as will his numbers.
2009 prediction - 3,950 yds 25 tds/13 int. 150 rush yds 2 tds
#8 - Tony Romo: '08 - 3,448 yds 26 tds/14 int. 41 rush yds
Romo missed 3 games last year and still put up these numbers. However, he did have T.O. last year, and as much of a pain in the ass as he was, he put up numbers. Romo's supporting cast isn't quite as good this season, but he still have enough weapons and an offensive coordinator that likes to air it out.
2009 prediction - 4,100 yds 29 tds/18 int. 50 rush yds 1 td
#9 - Donovan McNabb: '08 - 3,916 yds 23 tds/11 int. 147 rush yds 2 tds
Last year was the first year since 2003 that McNabb had started all 16 games, so injuries are always a concern with him. We know Andy Reid loves to throw the ball, so as long as McNabb can stay healthy, he should continue to put up solid numbers...that's a big 'if' though.
2009 prediction - 3,850 yds 25 tds/13 int. 120 rush yds 1 td
#10 - Matt Schaub: '08 - 3,043 yds 15 tds/10 int. 68 rush yds 2 tds
Schaub is another big injury risk, as he's missed 10 games the past 2 seasons. He still threw for over 3,000 yds last season despite missing 5 games. He has plenty of weapons with Andre Johnson, Owen Daniels, Kevin Walter, and Steve Slaton. Again, if he can stay healthy, he will produce.
2009 prediction - 3,700 yds 28 tds/16 int. 130 rush yds 1 td
