| Sablich Brothers The New York Times | “A new offense and the hopes that D.J. Fluker can improve a leaky offensive line justify this ranking.” | “Tom lost his favorite target to Denver and his elite tight ends are not exactly the healthiest, most reliable bunch.” |
| Nathan Miller Revelation Sports | “New coach McCoy has a way with QBs. Rivers is working on technique and logistics. Sleeper pick for 2013.” | |
| Coleman Kelly Sports Wunderkind | “My guess is that Mike McCoy's short passing offense rejuvenates Rivers' career in the short term, but I'm not particularly interested in dynasty.” | “Similar ceiling to Brees, with a higher floor. Worries about NE's WR corps are pushing him down, but consider this: from 2001-2006, the Patriots didn't have a 1K yard receiver, yet Brady was a QB1 5 times, the only exception being his rookie year.” |
| Jeff Brubach The Fake Football | “Declining yds/TD totals in last two seasons and has underwhelming targets. Durable though…16 games in last seven years.” | “Hunky Tom should have a few more good seasons ahead. Good option after the young horses are drafted.” |
| Neil Parker The Fake Football | “There is no reason to rank him higher. He has been declining for 3 straight seasons and at his best, he was only good.” | “4 Year Averages of 4590 yards and 34 TDs is wonderful fake football.” |
| Derek Lofland Fantasy Football Maniax | “I think Rivers is going to be one of the best bargins in fantasy next year. New head coach Mike McCoy and offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt should be just what the doctor ordered to restart what once looked like a Hall of Fame career.” | “He had 4,827 yards passing, 34 touchdown passes and just eight interceptions last year and is showing no signs of slowing down. Reports are that his arm feels great and he is throwing the ball better than ever. The only concerns are that he turns 36-years old and his top touchdown scorer, TE Rob Gronkowski, may not be available to start the season.” |
 Kevin RobertsNFL Soup | “His deep ball is suffering, but the guy still has it. Some better protection could do wonders.” | “Brady is a machine, and a near lock to be a top-5 producer. It will be interesting to see what losing Welker means, though.” |
| Tommy Rowan Juan Elway | “Not sure if you just blame the protection for his woes as it looks like his skills appear to be on the decline.” | “His weapons make me a little worried for Tom Terrific's 2013 fantasy prospects.” |
| Raju Byfield Win My Fantasy League | “Will quickly learn that Keenan Allen is the best receiver on his team” | |
| Chet Gresham The Fake Football | “He's on the downside of his abilities and he doesn't have much help in the receiving game.” | “Brady will some day slow down, but as long as Belichick is running a high octane offense, you can't let Brady fall too far.” |
| Staff Rankings FFLockerRoom | “Will a new offensive scheme help Rivers and allow for him to regain some clout and move up the rankings?” | “Age is not on Brady's side, and it is yet to be seen how much the loss of Welker will hurt. He is on his way down.” |
| Kyle Wachtel Forensic Fantasy | “Safe QB2 with potential to rebound” | “Existence of run game keeps him below top two guys” |
| Brandon Funston Yahoo! Sports | “Lots of big ? marks (Gronk health, Welker loss, etc)” |
