Summer is just about to wrap up which is unfortunate but I'm ready to look forward to fall because I get to see my friends back at school and football is finally here which I'm so excited about. Many people love watching football but to make it even more exciting I started playing Fantasy Football. Fantasy Football is when you draft players and try to win each week against your opponent. You can play fantasy football on your own against random people in a league, play against family members, or against your friends. Fantasy Football is a lot of fun so to all football fans out there I encourage you guys to try it out. The top main websites for Fantasy Football come from ESPN, Yahoo Sports, and NFL. com. There are many other websites that you can play on but in my opinion those 3 are usually the ones that most people play on. If your interested in playing or your stuck on who you want to pick, Here are the best quarterbacks that I would recommend to play on your fantasy football team.
Quarterbacks-
Cam Newton- Cam Newton is coming off a disappointing loss in the Super Bowl last year but he sure had a great year. He put up huge numbers both with his arm and his legs. This was all without their best wide receiver in Kelvin Benjamin. This a guy who will give you points both rushing and throwing. He's one of the best running quarterbacks in the league and I expect him to use it to his advantage again this year. Now with Benjamin, also receiver Devin Funchess who's expected to make big strides this year, and tight end Greg Olson who's one of the best tight ends in the game today.
Aaron Rodgers- You can't go wrong with Aaron Rodgers as your starting quarterback for your fantasy football team. Last year Rodgers threw for 3,821 yards and 31 touchdowns. Don't forget like Cam Newton, Rodgers didn't have his go-to target in Jordy Nelson who's coming back from an ACL injury. With now Nelson back I'm expecting for Rodgers to have an even better year this year with all his targets back. Nelson is expected to return by week 1 which is huge for Rodgers and the Green Bay Offense. With a healthy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and Davante Adams, Rodgers will give your team a lot of fantasy points.
Russell Wilson- Russell Wilson is turned to be one of the dominating quarterbacks in the league today. He's on those quarterbacks that is really hard to scout. You don't know if he'll pass, give it off to running back Thomas Rawls, or keep it himself off a Read Option Formation. He only had one rushing touchdown last season which is hard to imagine but he had plenty of rushing yards so that will give you points regardless alongside the points for his passing touchdowns. He will throw the football as well as run it. Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett, and Jermaine Kearse were huge in his offense last year at receiver so I expect that Wilson will find those targets quite a bit this year. If this guy is still on the draft board, pick him up cause he won't disappoint you.
Andrew Luck- If Andrew Luck stays healthy, this guy might put up huge numbers this year. Luck did throw for 15 touchdowns and 1,881 yards last season. If you do pick up Luck make sure you have a quality backup just in case of injury.
Drew Brees- I've always thought that one quarterback that many people want to have, it's this guy Drew Brees from the New Orleans Saints. Brees put up monster numbers last year with 32 touchdowns thrown and 4,870 yards. Brees has a great go to guy in wide reciever Brandin Cooks. The Saints now with tight Jimmy Graham gone, picked up Colby Fleener who in my mind could have a huge year. Brees is one of those quarterbacks that you can always trust. Brees is a bound to have another big year for the Saints
Tom Brady- Who doesn't forget about TB12 the best quarterback in the NFL?. Brady has gone through a lot this summer of course with the Deflategate saga with NFL commissioner Roger Godell. Brady had a 4 game suspension that was given from Godell and Brady did his very best to get out of it. Unfortunately Brady lost his case so he's taking the first four games of the year. So if you're wondering for fantasy owners, with Brady now having a suspension this is the best time to pick him later in the drafts. Brady is going to tear up a lot of defenses this year not just because about him being one of the best in the game but he now has more motivation than ever after Godell dropping four games on him. Brady will be eligible to come back week 5 at Cleveland in which he might put 50 points that game. I at least wouldn't be shocked if that happened. Brady has many receivers to work with once he comes back. Rob Gronkowski who's the number 1 tight end in the game, tight end Martellus Bennett who they acquired from the bears, Julian Edelman who's one of the receivers to work with Brady, Danny Amendola, and Chris Hogan. Don't forget about running back Dion Lewis who was 1 number for avoiding missed tackles. Lewis will start on PUP which means he can't come back til week 7 if he's ready. Brady is my favorite quarterback in fantasy football but for this year, get a backup from weeks 1-4 before Brady comes back.
In conclusion, there many other quarterbacks in the late round that you can pick up like Kirk Cousins, Blake Bortles, or Andy Dalton but these quarterbacks that I mentioned above are guys that will make an immediate impact for your fantasy football team. I hope everyone enjoys the NFL season and to all Fantasy Owners good luck with everyones teams this year!.
