Consensus Top QBs for 2010 Fantasy Football

It used to be that drafting a QB in the first round was considered to be a big time fantasy blunder. But as Bob Dylan once said, the times they are a changing. Just last night I participated in a mock-draft in which 5 QBs were drafted in the first two rounds.

Last year there were nine or ten 4,000 yard passers in the NFL, including the ageless one, Brett Favre. This year, there may even be more as teams continue to air it out. It is definitely important to grab one of these elite QBs, but if you do, understand that you run the risk of being weak at the QB position. If you wait, you have to hope that Eli Manning repeats his 4,000 season from a year ago, or that Donovan McNabb has little drop off in Washington if you wait. So, there's definitely risk both ways, but the good news is, there are a good number of talented QBs available for this year's fantasy season.
