Who is the best mid-round QB to pick up? You have Peyton Manning who obviously has potential to do some good things. There is Phillip Rivers who is looking rebound after a 20 interception season. Then there is Matt Ryan, he threw 29 TDs last season and now Julio has developed, White is still solid, Gonzalez showed some life last year. I heard one of the guys on Sports Nation saying that Michael Turner was getting older and they were gonna run him less and probably pass more. Could Ryan be poised for his best season yet? I'm garbage, so i'd appreciate the help.

I am in 3 leagues this year. I drafted Ryan in all 3 leagues in the 6th round. Every thing is pointing to him to have a breakout year. I sure as hell hope so

Ryan for sure out of those 3, Roethlisberger has been available in the 7th or 8th in some of my leagues, also a decent option.

My sleeper QB based on what I've seen thus far (although it is preseason) is Flacco, dude has looked like money so far. May try to pick him in a middle round in my upcoming draft

Also a big Ryan fan this year. Grabbed Julio in the 4th and Ryan in the 9th. Expect both to blow up this year

Don't sleep on Cutler. He will have Forte back, which will force defenses to play honest. They are also commiting to protecting him in the pocket, which will increase his productivity and limit turnovers.

When you give Cutler time to find a reciever, he is money. I picked him up in the 10th round as my backup for Cam / trade bait when he blows up.

Matt Ryan and Big Ben should provide very good value from where they will be drafted.

Eli and Shaub. I think Shaub bounces back in a big way this year.

Don't waste a middle round pick on him. I got him in the 15th Tuesday night.

Ryan has been creeping up the draft boards, so I'm not sure you'll be able to get him in the mid-rounds (6-11).

If Andre Johnson can stay healthy, I think Schaub has good value. If Foster is 100%, he has the ability to turn simple screens into big plays.

Phillip Rivers is intriguing, but there are rumors of declining arm strength (plus he lost his best route runner in Vincent Brown for 1/3 the season).

Peyton Manning could really surprise a lot of people. The reports about his problems throwing to the right are concerning, but I don't know if he's had as much talent at the WR position as he does not (Decker and Thomas) since Harrison/Wayne.

It will be interesting to see how Cutler and Marshall mesh. With Forte, Cutler could produce solid fantasy numbers. I was always think twice when drafting cold weather QBs (not names Brady or Rodgers). Production tends to decline in late November and December.
