We base our weekly rankings on the strength of opposing defenses overall, individual match-ups, and expected game situations (shoot-out vs. field-goal battle vs. blowout). They're based on the WCOFF/NFFC PPR scoring systems. Hopefully, for the most part, just looking at the rankings helps you figure out who to sit or start. We set the projections early in the week and then comb through them and make any necessary edits on Friday.

QUARTERBACKS

1. Aaron Rogers v DET - They don't get better than this
2. Peyton Manning @ JAC - 3 TD in three straight weeks. It's not like JAC's defense is any good
3. Michael Vick @ WAS - Has number one potential this week and every week
4. Drew Brees v CAR - This is going to be a field day. Complete with orange drink.
5. Tom Brady @ MIA - MIA couldn't stop Sanchez, how can they begin to contain Brady.
6. Philip Rivers v ARI - If there's one thing SD can't stand it's running the ball
7. Chad Henne v NE - The Pats can't stop anyone. This is the best match up he may get all year. Lets just hope they don't run all over NE
8. Jay Cutler @ NYG - He's done it three weeks in a row. He's in circle of trust
9. Bruce Gradkowski v HOU - Texans can be had through the air. Polish Punisher is never scared to air it out. 
10. Matt Schaub @ OAK - He's got red flags all over him if AJ is banged up
11. Matt Ryan v SF - Always better when he's at home
12. Kyle Orton @ TEN - He getting better by the week
13. Eli Manning v CHI - Yards are nice. Turnovers are not
14. Sam Bradford v SEA - Don't worry about the future. He's good now 
15. Mark Sanchez @ BUF - Bills play respectable pass defense
16. Donovan McNabb @ PHI - It's either 5 TD or 5 INT. Call it a hunch, but I don't see this going well
17. Joe Flacco @ PIT - Back tot he bench with you. Don't worry. There are softer match ups ahead.
18. David Garrard v IND - Just hope you're not the unfortunate one starting him
19. Carson Palmer @ CLE - Good match up. But he's just no good
20. Alex Smith @ ATL - One of these weeks he'll break out. Just probably not this one
