I know some people are pretty low on Newton this week and believe the game as a whole will be low scoring. However when you look at the other QBs in his talent range such as Stafford, Rivers and Brady, I much much prefer Newton's matchup to theirs. If Aqib Talib is there, throwing will be tough for sure. The Pats are not the 49ers though and you can certainly run on them. Not worried.
#7 Nick Foles - (#4 on Fantasy Pros)
I really like Nick Foles and the fact that he is 7th should reflect that. For a non mobile QB with not that many games started, that is pretty impressive. Some people have gone as high as #1 on him and I think thats a mistake. Riley Cooper's touchdown rate will not continue, and you can run a lot on the Redskins. He's a good start, but not a super great one.
#9 Ryan Tannehill - (#16 on Fantasy Pros)
This ranking might seem crazy, but then you look at the next two guys and one is a former third stringer and the other is an injury replacement. Against the Chargers at home, is it all that crazy? I don't think so. Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline should have more luck this week and Rishard Matthews has shown he can play. The Chargers do not have a good secondary at all. Beyond that, Tannehill has been very consistent at home this year. He has scored between 13-16 fantasy points every week at home. Given risks associated with other QBs this week, I would take that high floor.
#13 Colin Kaepernick - (#16 on Fantasy Pros)
I'm always high on Kaep it seems. I've been wrong more than I've been right, I'll admit that. But his ranking at #16 seems like an overreaction to last week's performance. Not a good play, but not terrible. The Saints are a decent team against the run, but Kaep's mobility is normally a good counter to that. With Manningham making improvement, I remain hopeful for Kaep.
#16 Tom Brady - (#11 on Fantasy Pros)
This is nothing short of respect for the Panthers defense that has been absolutely dominant against fantasy QBs all year. The most points allowed was 15 (to Mike Glennon strangely). Brady still has 3 single digit performances in his last 5 games. I like Brady after this week but for now, I am not starting him.
