Week 5 QB Rankings - player profiles and stat projections will be updated throughout the week

Week 5 --- QB Rankings --- RB Rankings --- WR Rankings --- TE Rankings --- Defense Rankings --- Waiver Wire Pickups --- NFL Picks & Predictions

1. Aaron Rodgers - GB = @Atl
2. Drew Brees - NO = @Car
3. Michael Vick - Phi = @Buf
4. Philip Rivers - SD = @Den
5. Tom Brady - NE = NYJ

6. Matthew Stafford - Det = Chi
7. Cam Newton - Car = NO
8. Matt Schaub - Hou = Oak
9. Kevin Kolb - Ari = @Min
10. Matt Ryan - Atl = GB

11. Eli Manning - NYG = Sea
12. Ben Roethlisberger - Pit = Ten
13. Ryan Fitzpatrick - Buf = Phi
14. Josh Freeman - TB = @SF

15. Matt Cassel - KC = @Ind --- 31% ----- Cassel has been anything but reliable or consistent this season, but after tallying a respectable 260 passing yards and 1 touchdown in last weeks game against the Minnesota Vikings, it seems reasonable to think that a matchup against the struggling Colts defense this week could net Cassel at least 225 passing yards and 1 touchdown in this weeks game as well.

16. Kyle Orton - Den = SD ----- Nothing exciting here with Orton, but if the Chargers put up the points like they are capable of, then the Broncos passing attack could be playing catchup once again this week like they did last week against the Packers. Add in a healthy Brandon Lloyd, and Orton has the potential to tally 200-250 passing yards and 1 touchdown this week.

17. Jay Cutler - Chi = @Det

18. Jason Campbell - Oak = @Hou --- 21% ----- Not a great matchup, but if you are desperate for a spot starting QB, Campbell likely isn't the worst option available in your leagues waiver wire pool.

19. Donovan McNabb - Min = Ari

20. Mark Sanchez - NYJ = @NE

21. Andy Dalton - Cin = @Jac --- 10% ----- Even though the eye popping stats are clearly not there, Dalton just seems to be a steady producer under center just 4 games into his NFL career. At just 10% owned, Dalton who faces a so-so Jaguars defense this week could be looking at a final stat line of 200 passing yards and 1 touchdown.

22. Blaine Gabbert - Jac = Cin
23. Matt Hasselbeck - Ten = @Pit
24. Alex Smith - SF = TB
25. Curtis Painter - Ind = KC
26. Kerry Collins - Ind = KC
27. Tarvaris Jackson - Sea = @NYG

BYE WEEK
Tony Romo - Dal = BYE
Joe Flacco - Bal = BYE
Sam Bradford - StL = BYE
Chad Henne - Mia = BYE
Colt McCoy - Cle = BYE
Rex Grossman - Was = BYE

Peyton Manning - Ind = injured will not play

BACKUPS
Tim Tebow - Den = SD
Charlie Whitehurst - Sea = @NYG
Mike Kafka - Phi = @Buf
