1. Aaron Rodgers (GB): Did you expect anyone else? Rogers threw for 250 yards and four touchdowns Monday night. He leads the best offense in football and is playing out of his mind. ‘Nough said. Projected fantasy points: 25.0.

2. Tom Brady (NE): Brady struggled in weeks eight and nine as opposing defenses used man coverage and physical play with his receivers. He responded against the Jets by having one of his most efficient and impressive performances of the year. Brady threw for 329 yards and three touchdowns. Projected fantasy points: 21.9.

3. Cam Newton (CAR): Newton had one of his worst games of the season last week against the Titans. The rookie quarterback didn’t throw or run for a touchdown, and turned the ball over on a pick. Despite this setback, Newton is still a great fantasy player as he picks up points in the air and on the ground. Projected fantasy points: 18.5.

4. Eli Manning (NYG): Manning was almost the hero of the game last week against the Niners. He threw for 311 yards and two touchdowns, and picked up his production in the fourth quarter. Manning has played well all season and will continue to do so next week against a struggling Eagles defense. Projected fantasy points: 16.0.

5. Tony Romo (DAL): Romo made fantasy owners very happy this week. He racked up the fantasy points off 270 yards passing and three touchdowns. The Cowboys are getting hot and Romo and Dez Bryant seem to be back on the same page. This weekend the Cowboys play the Redskins. Expect Romo to continue to play well in the heated rivalry. Projected fantasy points: 15.8.

Not top 5, but could be: This week’s quarterback that missed the list but is in position to have a big game is Detroit’s Matt Stafford. Stafford has struggled as of late, throwing four interceptions against the Bears last Sunday. This week the Lions play the Panthers. Carolina’s defense isn’t very good, so I’m expecting Stafford to bounce back with a big game. Projected fantasy points: 13.9.
