2008 Offseason NFL Fantasy Quarterback Rankings
Prompted by many an unruly quarterback (QB) ranker online these days, I’ve compiled my current top 12 list of fantasy QBs. For the most part, I base these rankings off of projected stats for 2008, but considering these top 12 are also going to be the first QBs you want to draft, reliability and consistency…… Continue reading 2008 Offseason NFL Fantasy Quarterback Rankings
