The entire Maniaxs' staff compiled their own rankings assigning 32 points to a #1 rank going down to assigning 1 point to a # 32 rank. Then, we added all the points and determined the final 2008 QB rankings. Let me reassure you that nothing particularly crazy happened during the ranking process like ranking Tom Brady # 32. He received all but 1 first place vote. Peyton Manning received all but two second place votes. The lone occasion where Brady didn't get a first place vote, Peyton didn't take his place, Carson Palmer did.
We will have a few articles later into the off-season about Manning's declining rankings in 2008. For now, enjoy our OFFICIAL 2008 Fantasy QB seasonal (redraft) rankings. We have included the final rankings' grid/table for your ease and a PDF link so that you can download them for your draft(s) at the end of the article.
7. Ben Roethlisberger. While “Big Ben” had a quiet and normal statistical 2007 season in yards (3,154), YPG (210.3), and zero 300-yard games, he did manage to limit his picks to a career-low 11 while throwing for a career-high 32 TDs. Since Touchdowns scored are every fantasy owner’s dream to rapidly accumulate points, the only red flag I see with Roethlisberger is the fact that 14 of those 32 scores came in three games, all against...
11. Eli Manning. While Eli enjoyed a decent 2007 season, in which he threw for 3,336 yards (not his career-high) and 23 TDs, the downfall to that is his 20 INTs. What makes these numbers look worse for him is the fact that he scored 8 (4+4) of his 23 TDs in 2 weeks (1 & 17) and threw at least one interception every game. In the four games when he didn’t throw a pick, he only passed for 1 TD or less. All of that equals to inconsistency. A huge factor that plays in Eli’s favor is that...
12. Matt Schaub. Last year it was Schaub's first year as a starter and great expectations that came along were just brushed away from an injury-laden season, where he missed five games and played sparingly in three others. Schaub played at full speed in only eight games in 2007 and posted 2,107 passing yards (263.3 per game). If we project those yards into a full 16 games, we have him throwing an elite-like 4,214. We feel confident about a redemption season for Schaub because of the fact that he threw 80% of his TD passes in...
