Drew Brees is a statistical Iron Man. He has thrown for 5k passing yards for three straight seasons. He lost D. Sproles which will hurt his completion % - but gained a dynamic weapon in Brandin Cooks.
| Year | Team | Passing TDs | Passing Yards | Rushing TDs | Rushing Yards | Scoring |

Expect a major bounce back season from Aaron Rodgers. He closed the season strong and will be healthy for the start of 2014. The addition of D. Adams and the emergence of J. Boykin will restock his weaponry.
| Year | Team | Passing TDs | Passing Yards | Rushing TDs | Rushing Yards | Scoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | DEN | 37 | 4659 | 0 | 6 | 290.90 |

| Projected! | DEN | 39.68 | 4761.60 | 0.58 | -18.14 | 302.92 |
Manning produced an All-World season in 2013. He is likely to produce great numbers - but reproducing record breaking numbers is unlikely. This project suggests that he will have the 2nd best season in his career - but big step down from 2013.
| Year | Team | Passing TDs | Passing Yards | Rushing TDs | Rushing Yards | Scoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | PHI | 6 | 1699 | 1 | 42 | 77.83 |
| 2013 | PHI | 27 | 2891 | 3 | 225 | 238.87 |
| Projected! | PHI | 32.56 | 4073.26 | 3.54 | 236.16 | 296.68 |
Nick Foles blossomed into a full blown fantasy All-Star after week 5 of 2013. He is the gunslinger in a run & gun offense that is incredibly productive. Foles is a solid QB1 in all formats.
| Year | Team | Passing TDs | Passing Yards | Rushing TDs | Rushing Yards | Scoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | CAR | 19 | 3869 | 8 | 741 | 305.67 |
| 2013 | CAR | 24 | 3379 | 6 | 585 | 287.13 |
| Projected! | CAR | 20.66 | 3197.01 | 8.22 | 753.28 | 297.69 |
The Panthers did nothing to help Newtown's fantasy value. Stuck in salary cap hell, they allowed nearly all of their WRs to leave. They were able to draft some talent, and Olsen returns. Points from his legs help to keep him a QB1.
| Year | Team | Passing TDs | Passing Yards | Rushing TDs | Rushing Yards | Scoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | SEA | 26 | 3118 | 4 | 489 | 264.83 |
| 2013 | SEA | 26 | 3357 | 1 | 539 | 256.80 |
| Projected! | SEA | 30.32 | 3887.02 | 1.91 | 521.62 | 294.35 |
Russell Wilson has grown with each season. Putting aside his Super Bowl championship, he has progressed as a passer. Getting Percy Harvin for an entire season will help his numbers jump in a big way.
| Year | Team | Passing TDs | Passing Yards | Rushing TDs | Rushing Yards | Scoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | DET | 20 | 4967 | 4 | 126 | 259.47 |
| 2013 | DET | 29 | 4650 | 2 | 74 | 259.40 |
| Projected! | DET | 32.90 | 4979.63 | 2.40 | 89.71 | 296.00 |
The Lions are working to install an up-tempo offense that will increase the amount of offensive plays that Stafford executes. Stafford has an elite WR1 and an improved supporting cast. He has the ability to be a Top 3 fantasy QB in 2014.
| Year | Team | Passing TDs | Passing Yards | Rushing TDs | Rushing Yards | Scoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | NE | 34 | 4827 | 4 | 32 | 314.10 |
| 2013 | NE | 25 | 4343 | 0 | 18 | 226.57 |
| Projected! | NE | 31.39 | 4625.45 | 1.55 | 31.35 | 276.17 |
Brady's weapons return a year older and wiser. Growth is expected in four of his prominent options at WR. Amendola & Gronk will return from injury riddled seasons - which will provide additional growth in Brady's passing numbers.
