Who do you think is the top fantasy quarterback to have on your roster. After watching a variety of quarterbacks over the first couple weeks of the season, several things have stuck out. Peyton Manning's performance against New Orleans was one. Donovan McNabb's struggles to put up decent fantasy points is another. Daunte Culpepper's back injury, as pain as it sounds, is yet another. Ultimately, I've come to the conclusion that there's one quarterback I'd want on my team starting every week... Steve McNair. OK, he doesn't have a stable of reliable stud WRs to throw to and he isn't exactly injury-free himself -- however he finds ways to get the job done, through thick and thin. He plays through any and all injuries and he combines a throwing and running game like no other quarterback in the NFL. Yes, Vick can run, but he lacks in accuracy passing. Manning is a great pocket passer, but he lacks in running ability. McNabb has some qualities of both, but hasn't shown reliability since his leg injury last year. It all boils down to McNair -- who seems like the total package. He threw for almost 400 yards yesterday to a questionable receiving group against a fairly good defense. Yes, he threw an interception that ultimately cost Tennessee the game -- but he also ran for two TDs himself. Fantasy-wise, McNair has emerged from basically nowhere to become the best QB. Anyone want to argue that?
