#1. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers (4,434 yards, 30 passing TDs, 5 rushing TDs, 7 INTs)

The future of the Green Bay Packers was really uncertain a few years ago when Brett Favre left town, but all doubts have disappear with Aaron Rodgers behind center as he has quickly turned into one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Not only is Rodgers arguably one of the best in the league at his position, but he is by far the best fantasy football QB as he can hurt opposing defenses with both his arm and his legs.

Last season was a breakout year for Rodgers as he had 35 total touchdowns and only threw seven picks all season long!

#2. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints (4,388 yards, 34 TDs, 2 rushing TDs, 11 INTs)

The New Orleans Saints do have some solid running backs in Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush, but Sean Payton loves to go to the air and with Drew Brees under center.

This season the Saints will looking to defend their Super Bowl title and Brees should put up some solid numbers once again.

#3. Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts (4,500 yards, 33 TDs, 16 INTs)

The Indianapolis Colts fell just short of getting their second Super Bowl title in the last three years last season, but they are already favored to win another ring this season and four-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning will be ready to play and put up huge numbers.

With young wide receivers Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie coming into their own last season, this year they will only get better and give Manning two more targets alongside Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark.

#4. Tom Brady, New England Patriots (4,398 yards, 28 TDs, 1 rushing TD, 13 INTs)

This season will be make or break for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots as sand in the hour glass is starting to run out, but even though many people won’t be expecting much for Bill Belichick’s squad, I believe they could be a surprise team in the AFC Conference and might be able to get that potent offense back to form.

I fully expect to see Brady blow up this season as he tries to get back to 2007 form when he threw a historic 50 touchdown passes.

#5. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys (4,483 yards, 26 passing TDs, 1 rushing TD, 9 INTs)

Tony Romo will come into next season with high hopes of competing for a Super Bowl title and a chance to win a ring on his home field at Cowboys Stadium.

Not only will Romo and the Cowboys have Super Bowl aspirations, the storied franchise will also have arguably the most talented receiving corps in the league with the addition of rookie wideout Dez Bryant playing alongside Jason Witten, Miles Austin and Roy Williams.
