Tom Brady #12 of the New England Patriots drops back to pass against the Carolina Panthers in the 1st quarter during their preseason NFL game at Bank of America Stadium on August 28, 2015 in Charlotte, North Carolina. "

Tom Brady (New England Patriots): Brady will be going up against the Jaguars, which a pretty ridiculous matchup. Brady and Gronk will have a field day against this porous Jaguars defense. Brady has been absolutely on fire this season and should continue to surge against this terrible defense. Brady is a QB1 in week 3.

Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks): Wilson will be going up against the Bears which should inflate his stats this week. Wilson should target Jimmy Graham heavily against a Bears secondary that will let anyone score on them. Wilson will also probably attempt to run in a few scores as well so he can see some points coming from his legs as well. Wilson is a QB1 this week.

Cam Newton (Carolina Panthers): Newton will be facing a depleted New Orleans defense. The Carolina passing attack has been lackluster so far however Newton generates points constantly with his legs. He vultures Jonathan Stewart more than Mike Tolbert and will often try to run into the end zone himself. Newton is a QB1 against a leaky Saints defense. 

Andrew Luck (Indianapolis Colts): Luck is the wild card of this list (even though that sounds ridiculous). Luck has been on a dramatic decline thanks in part to facing aggressive pass rushing defenses. The Titans should generate some pressure but not nearly enough as the Jets did. Luck will be looking for his redemption game and this is the opportunity. Luck will be ready to go by game time and if he struggles in this game the Colts will have bigger things to worry about. Luck is an mid-tier QB1.
