If you haven’t looked at their stats recently, you might be surprised to know that Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers have pretty similar overall numbers.
I might actually agree with someone who says that Rodgers will be the better fantasy QB next year and beyond.
Either way, you have to be happy if you’ve had either one of these guys on your team this season.
Here are their stats through 14 games…
| YDS | TD | INT | Rush TD |
| 4130 | 33 | 11 | 2 |
I doubt anyone really expected Brees to throw for 5,000 yards again this season, so I’m sure anyone who has him on their team is happy with his performance this year. For the most part, he’s dominated every defense he’s faced. He’s completed 70% of his passes this year, which is just insane.
| YDS | TD | INT | Rush TD |
| 3962 | 28 | 7 | 4 |
Rodgers has also rushed for 293 yards this season, which I think gives him the edge over Brees for best overall QB right now. In only his second season as Green Bay’s starter, he’s become an elite quarterback in the league. He should be able to continue to have seasons like he’s had this year. It helps that he has some solid receivers to throw to.
Remaining Schedules
Brees: TB, @CAR
Rodgers: SEA, @ARI
Rodgers faces two of the worst pass defenses while Brees is going up against to of the better ones, but that doesn’t really matter too much when you’re talking about two of the best in the NFL.
Brees is the more accurate QB of the two, but no one can deny that Rodgers’ fantasy numbers are right there with Brees’ this season. They’re the top two QBs this year, and they’ll probably be the top two next year as well.
