Drew Brees appears poised for a big bounce-back game if you were able to survive his recent down weeks and are still alive in the playoffs. He’s our unanimous number one QB with the usual elite QBs right behind him. One notable jump this week is the reemergence of Cam Newton as a top 6 option after a couple of strong showings headed into Carolina’s trip west to meet the Chargers.
Here’s our full top 25 QB’s to start for week 15:
