For the 2009 Season

David Kenny
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is one of the best fantasy quarterbacks in the NFL. Tom Brady is a two time Superbowl champion and two time NFL most valuable player. One of the most pure passing quarterback in the game. Brady has the ability to make all throws on the field. The reason why Tom Brady is the best fantasy quarterback is he's on a team with two superstar wide receivers and another young one in the making. The New England Patriots have the perfect style of play for a quarterback like Tom Brady. Just sit back and let him throw the ball to whoever is open. Brady is great at using his check down receivers and runningbacks when he gets into a little trouble. New England passes the ball more than any other team in the NFL. Even if they are blowing the other team out, New England still will pass the ball and try to increase the score. Tom Brady's last full season he passed the ball for over 4,800 yards and broke the NFL record for passing touchdowns in a season with a unbelievable 50 touchdowns. Brady was hurt throwing the ball in week 1 of the 2008 NFL season. He had almost a full year to recover from his injury. Brady will have another great season in 2009.

San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers would be a great pick for any fantasy team. Philip Rivers had the best quarterback rating in the NFL 2008 with a 105.5 rating. Rivers was 8.1 points better than the closest quarterback who was Miami Dolphins Chad Pennington. Rivers average 30 pass a game. He passed for over 4,000 yards and 34 touchdowns in his 2008 season. Each year he get better. San Diego is in the AFC west, the weakest division in the NFL. They play the Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos, and Kansas City Chiefs. Last year San Diego made the playoffs by winning four straight and finishing the year off with a 8-8 record. Philip Rivers will pass all over his division and finish with another high quarterback rating.

The Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning is alway great to have on a fantasy. Peyton Manning is a premier passer in the NFL. He has been one of the top quarterback in the NFL for the last five years. Manning is a quarterback that can make all the throws on the field. Peyton had the fifth best quarterback rating in the NFL in 2008. Manning has passed for over 4,000 yards in nine of his eleven years in the NFL. Peyton Manning is a sure bet for having a great season. He does not get hurt and plays the full season. Manning will pass for over 4,000 yards in the 2009 NFL season.
