A slew of backup quarterbacks, young and old, have taken the reins over the past month. Which if any of these players (Rex Grossman, John Skelton, Tim Tebow, Jimmy Clausen, or another of your choice) will have fantasy relevance in 2011?
I am not buying the Tim Tebow era in Denver stuff. Kyle Orton has a contract through 2011 and the Broncos could end up with the #1 draft pick as well, so Andrew Luck could be throwing to Brandon Lloyd next year. Instead you have to narrow your choices to QBs with a good chance to start in 2011. Therefore John Skelton and Jimmy Clausen
are the two front runners with Skelton the slight edge in long term potential and Clausen the winner in short term fantasy potential. Whichever team has the best running game should be the key.
