CBSSports.com Fantasy Football Commissioner League Ranks Quarterbacks

CBSSports.com is an SB Nation partner and paying sponsor of the SB Nation football communities. This post is one of a series of sponsor endorsed posts relating to the CBSSports.com Fantasy Football Commissioner League.

It's that time of the week again. That's right. Time to pay the bills, promote a really sweet deal and burden you with the reminder that you still haven't joined CBSSports.com's Fantasy Football Commissioner League. And if you haven't joined, then take advantage of the 50% discount for one of the best fantasy football league's available (you have to click that link to get the discount). And remember, you receive a 14-day trial.

Rather than convincing you to purchase the league, forcing your buddies to reimburse you for a slot that would likely be less than $10 so you can realistically play GOD -- and that's not to say you couldn't add a few bucks in the reimbursement asking price to make a few bucks when it's all said in done -- let's examine quarterback rankings.

In Jamey Eisenberg and Dave Richard's fantasy football rankings, Carson Palmer ranked 14th and 13th respectively. A steal later in the draft? Well, as we know as Bengals fans, there's uncertainty after a season in which his production saw noticeable fall from his previous averages from 2005-2007.

Star-divide

The season outlook on Palmer is as follows:

Carson Palmer is hoping to improve this season after a disappointing 2009. Expectations were relatively high for Palmer heading into 2009. Coming off of elbow surgery and primed for a big season, he wound up handing off nearly as often as he dropped back to pass and thus posted disappointing totals. Palmer finished with 3,094 yards on 282 of 466 passing (60.5 percent) with 21 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Palmer also scampered for three touchdowns and added a career-best 93 rush yards. But his passing totals were way down from where we remembered them from 2005 to 2007. One reason for it: The Bengals' passing game was pathetic. Once the team lost WR Chris Henry, Palmer had two multi-touchdown games passing and only one game over 250 yards. Sure, Chad Ochocinco had a good year, but the Bengals' pass attack was pretty easy to stop once he was blanketed. The Bengals addressed their receiving corps with the additions of Terrell Owens, Matt Jones and Antonio Bryant as free agents and Jermaine Gresham, Jordan Shipley and Dezmon Briscoe in the NFL Draft.

Now the question is, would you draft Palmer in the later rounds, or would you look for someone with a bit more production? Here's a look at their quarterback rankings.

Interesting

Rodgers ahead of Brees and Manning. Considering Drew is essentially playing Madden on pro level when hes throwing the ball in that videogame offense, I would have to disagree.

We're talking fantasy football here...

Aaron Rodgers was the highest scoring QB in Fantasy Football last year, and the third highest behind Drew Brees and, believe it or not, Jay Cutler in 2008. With the improvements to the Oline on the Packers I can see him being the highest scoring QB in fantasy again this year.
