Aaron Rodgers is one of the best players in the NFL, and is an incredibly reliable fantasy option. He is a QB1 in all formats and is worthy of an early pick.
| Year | Team | Passing TDs | Passing Yards | Rushing TDs | Rushing Yards | Scoring |

| 2011 | CAR | 21 | 4051 | 14 | 709 | 354.63 |

Cam Newton is an elite fantasy QB because of his contributions through the running game. The emergence of Brandon LaFell as a solid WR2 should help him complete a few more passes per game in 2013. Newton should come off the boards early in 2013.
| Year | Team | Passing TDs | Passing Yards | Rushing TDs | Rushing Yards | Scoring |

In his second season, RG3 will rely more on his arm than his legs. He took a pounding and had to leave the Redskins playoff game - a memory that will help keep RG3 in the pocket a bit more. He is a strong fantasy option in 2013.
| Year | Team | Passing TDs | Passing Yards | Rushing TDs | Rushing Yards | Scoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | NE | 39 | 5235 | 3 | 109 | 341.40 |

Tom Brady is a perennial MVP candidate. This year he will have to break in a new cast of receiving options - but they have talent and youth. Amendola and the draft picks offer more explosion down the field than the Pats have had in previous years.
| Year | Team | Passing TDs | Passing Yards | Rushing TDs | Rushing Yards | Scoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | DEN | 37 | 4659 | 0 | 6 | 290.90 |

Manning proved many doubters wrong by returning with a vengeance to fantasy leagues. He came at a great value in most leagues and contributed to more than a few championship runs. If you would like his services in 2013 - expect to pay more

Russell Wilson injected life into a stale offense in Seattle. His ability to threaten opponents with his arm and legs keeps defenses off balance. With Percy Harvin locked up, Wilson should take another step forward in 2013

Matthew Stafford is emerging as a top tier fantasy QB. He throws the ball a lot - and has an amazingly strong arm. If he could clean up his mechanics and limit mistakes - he would become even more valuable. The Lions offensive line is mediocre at best,
