Peyton Manning, Colts – Moving Up
Manning’s on fire, plain and simple. He’s thrown 11 touchdown passes in his last three games. If you picked him first in your draft, odds are his renaissance came too late to save your season. But if you’re still in your playoffs with Manning, look for big numbers against the Raiders and Texans.
Jeff Garcia, Buccaneers – Holding Steady
Head coach Jon Gruden admitted after the Houston game that there’s no way he would have played Garcia the last two weeks, even though the quarterback was listed as “questionable” for both contests instead of “doubtful” or “out” as he should have been listed. But in Gruden’s Monday press conference, he said Garcia would start Week 15 against the Falcons. Monitor events through the week, but Garcia’s a great start if he doesn’t suffer any setbacks in practice.
Kyle Orton, Bears – Moving Up
With Rex Grossman likely out for the remainder of the regular season, the logical replacement would be Griese, right? Wrong. Instead, Orton gets the chance to audition for the Bears’ starting quarterback spot for 2008. Or, he gets to audition for the starting gig with another team. Either way, he’ll be playing for his professional future. Griese would be worth a look if you’re not 100 percent comfortable with your regular quarterback, but Orton is not.
Marc Bulger, Rams – Moving Down
After looking good in practice all week, Bulger’s concussion symptoms worsened on Friday and he was declared out for the Cincinnati game – a crushing blow to Bulger owners expecting huge numbers in Week 14. Now he says he doesn’t know whether he’ll be able to return this season. The only reason he stays on the list is there’s at least a sliver of a chance he’ll be back.
Todd Collins, Redskins – Moving Up
Collins will be the starter for Washington the rest of the season after Jason Campbell suffered a dislocated knee against Chicago. You’re not going to risk your playoff life on starting Collins, but he’s worth stashing on your roster just in case your No. 1 QB goes down in Week 15. If that happens, Collins has a promising matchup against the Vikings. Again, though, he’s a desperation starter at the most. |
