Fantasy Football Projections Week 8: Quarterbacks

Who is looking good at quarterback for Week 8? We project five good ones.

Peyton Manning (vs. Hou) - It doesn't matter how many of his offensive weapons are hurt, when a quarterback like Manning goes up against a pass defense like the Texans, you gotta believe he's going to have a big day. He's our number one pick.
Projection: 410 yds, 3 TD

Aaron Rodgers (vs NYJ) - The Jets passing defense isn't as stout as it has been in previous years; a quarterback like Rodgers could take advantage. He's a steady producer and will come through again this week.
Projection: 325 yds, 3 TD

Matt Cassel (vs Buf) - Cassel and the Chiefs offense have been putting up points recently, and they face a Buffalo defense that has given up a ton of passing touchdowns. This should be a good week for the Chiefs signal-caller.
Projection: 343, 2 TD

Kyle Orton (@ SF) - The Broncos had to be embarrassed by last week's performance against Oakland. They travel all the way to London to get their revenge. Orton and Co. make up for last week's debacle by passing all over the 49ers.
Projection: 335, 2 TD

Ben Roethlisberger (vs. NO) - Since his return from suspension, Roethlisberger has been putting up fantasy points. Yeah, he was a fumbling fool last week, but don't doubt Big Ben, he'll be on time.
Projection: 329 yds, 2 TD
