Top 33 dynasty quarterback rankings, from Lamar Jackson to Kirk Cousins
This week marks the start of a series where I break down my positional rankings, beginning with the quarterbacks. I'm a big fan of using tiers in my rankings and drafts, so I'll be adding those as well. Following each tier, I'll give a few 'awards' and provide commentary. For reference, you can find all my rankings on FantasyPros. Advertisement When ranking quarterbacks, I always take a SuperFlex format mindset, considering those who are must-draft candidates within the first round. Many analysts like to fade the position due to a perceived overvalued status, but that's a mistake in my mind. Ask any manager who doesn't have a top quarterback, regardless of format, and you'll understand why I always seek to have a top name on my team, and in SuperFlex, at least three starters and a developmental player. Many have a much thinner first tier – not me! I'd be very satisfied trotting any of these top names out on Sundays. Highest risk: Jalen Hurts, PHI Most impact: Lamar Jackson, BAL Most upside: Jayden Daniels, WAS Jayden Daniels took the NFL by storm as a rookie in 2024. A combination of performance as a passer and mobility finds him atop many new SuperFlex start-up drafts, and with good reason. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson should be solid for years to come, while Patrick Mahomes is slipping due to a lack of targets and an aging Travis Kelce. Jalen Hurts remains a top-tier player due to offensive scheme, weapons and at least one more year of the tush push, but his value is slipping in 2025. Joe Burrow won't be losing his receivers now and, thus, maintains his place in my top tier. Because of the names in the top tier, combined with the youth in my third tier, my second tier consists of only two names. I fully expect this will be resolved by this time next year, with multiple names moving up from Tier 3. Most to prove: C.J. Stroud, HOU To be honest, both quarterbacks have a lot to prove in 2025. C.J. Stroud regressed badly in 2024 (QB18), while Justin Herbert produced as the QB13 last season. There are reasons to believe both will materially improve upon their 2024 production, but until they do, it's wait-and-see, and I won't be surprised if they are leapfrogged by more than one 2024 rookie. Both names continue to fall in SuperFlex drafts, usually appearing in or after the third round. Daniels stole the show among the rookie quarterbacks last season, while fellow rookies Caleb Williams and Bo Nix showed flashes. Both need to take developmental steps in 2025, and if they do, it's not out of the question that they could attain Tier 1 status. Highest ceiling: Caleb Williams, CHI Lowest floor: Trevor Lawrence, JAX There is no sugarcoating what we saw in 2024. Caleb Williams struggled, holding the ball too long and taking a league-leading 68 sacks. At the same time, the Bears continue to add playmakers on offense, providing few excuses should Williams struggle again. As for Trevor Lawrence, he gets one more season to remain healthy and put together a career campaign. He's failed to live up to his 'generational' label thus far, but a young receiver corps and new offensive system provide reasons to be optimistic. Normally, I'd try to break this tier up into two different tiers, but I can't, so I'm rolling with what I've got. There's plenty of upside at the top of the tier, and enough intrigue in the middle. But, even at the bottom of the tier, some stories may have legs deep into 2025. There's something for everyone here, and the size of the tier could be a factor in SuperFlex. As drafts unfold, managers could elect to punt on a QB2 in hopes of stacking other positions before looping back to address the need. With nearly half of the NFL starters residing in Tier 4, there is considerable positional flexibility. Most upside: Justin Fields, NYJ Most underrated: Jared Goff, DET Highest risk: Cam Ward, TEN Most faded: Anthony Richardson, IND Most intriguing: J.J. McCarthy, MIN Biggest sleeper: Sam Darnold, SEA Biggest underdog: Bryce Young, CAR I look up and down this list and see so many interesting stories. Justin Fields in the Jets' green and white feels like a fit that will finally unlock his upside, reunited with fellow Ohio State receiver Garrett Wilson. Jared Goff has been overlooked year after year. Consider his past two seasons, and you will find QB8 (2023) and QB6 (2024) rankings. What more can you ask for? He's only 30 years old. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Drake Maye is trending up in a big way! Advertisement Baker Mayfield, like Goff, continues to be faded in drafts. I'm very interested in J.J. McCarthy taking over for Sam Darnold. He now has a year of watching from the sidelines and inherits an offense that helped Darnold put up 14 victories. I won't draft McCarthy as a top-two option in SuperFlex, but sign me up for a selection as my QB3. The same goes for Cam Ward — a lot of risk, a lot of upside. I'm staying away from Dak Prescott, even with the nice addition of George Pickens, which should pay immediate dividends. Prescott can't move any longer, and without that element, I don't see enough to be excited about. Lastly, we have the plights of Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson. Young showed promise in the second half of 2024, while Richardson showed little improvement or signs of turning the corner. Richardson is in a fight with Daniel Jones for the starting role. Young will be under center for the Panthers, looking to pick up where he left off last season. This tier is all about taking on risk. If in SuperFlex, you can't allow yourself to be in a situation where you need a starter from this group, though you could do worse than Geno Smith for a season. In SuperFlex, I'm always on the lookout for a developmental QB4, and I love taking late stabs. Remember, quarterbacks are the coin of the realm in the format, and a timely selection could net a high draft pick via trade next year. Most upside: Jaxson Dart, NYG Highest ceiling: Jalen Milroe, SEA Biggest sleeper: Daniel Jones, IND Jaxson Dart is going to get his chance, and I'll be surprised if it isn't before Week 10. It's a tall order for the rookie in New York, and I don't feel the team has done enough to help a quarterback be successful. For ceiling, Jalen Milroe is impossible to ignore. Playing behind Sam Darnold, anything is possible, but don't expect to see Milroe in 2025 outside of special packages utilizing his athleticism. As a passer, Milroe suffered notably with accuracy in college. So did Josh Allen. Advertisement Daniel Jones is in a better situation than most give him credit for. The Colts aren't a bad team and aren't without offensive upside. Adding rookie TE Tyler Warren should provide a new dimension to the offense not seen since Dallas Clark. If Jones bests Richardson for the starting gig, he could be a late-round steal. Not listed here is Aaron Rodgers, who continues to hold the Steelers (and fans) hostage while he decides his playing future. I expect the mercurial vet to be under-center come Week 1, but I'll be avoiding him at all costs unless in dire circumstances. I hope you enjoyed this look at my dynasty quarterback rankings for 2025. Thank you for your continued engagement and support. Reads, ratings and comments make all the difference, and therefore, more dynasty content is on the way. If you have questions or comments, you know what to do. I look forward to interacting with my readers. Please follow me on Twitter and Threads: @DLF_Jeff. (Top photo of Lamar Jackson: Alex Slitz / Getty Images)

Dynasty league SuperFlex rookie mock draft, starting with the ‘Magnificent Seven'
Earlier this week, I gave you my Top 30 SuperFlex Rookies. Now, I'm taking that list, overlaying what I'm seeing on social, and assembling my first three-round-rookie SuperFlex mock draft. The key with this exercise is that I'm not simply using my top 30 list to perform the mock. I'm using social discussion, live drafts and momentum to determine when the rookies will be selected, regardless of my personal opinions about them. Advertisement You can find my full set of rankings here on Fantasy Pros. 1.01 Ashton Jeanty, RB, LV We're not getting cute here; Jeanty is going to be the top selection. My take: Jeanty is not without faults. He needs to work on ball security, and his pass protection leaves much to be desired. Additionally, the Raiders' offensive line is anything but stellar. But there's no questioning his dynamic, tackle-breaking ability or workload potential. 1.02 Omarion Hampton, RB, LAC Hampton is on Jeanty's heels for top back in the draft, and it won't surprise me if his numbers exceed Jeanty's five years in the future. Good long speed, three-down ability and excellent pass protection skills behind a plus-level offensive line is as good a setup as you can ask for in terms of early-career production. My take: Travis Hunter could be in play here, and managers may need to be patient as the workload balance with offseason acquisition Najee Harris is determined, but there's little doubt about his long-term runway. 1.03 Travis Hunter, WR, JAX The unicorn is going to be in play for 1.02, but if you aren't playing within an IDP format, there may be just enough risk to downgrade him a slot or two. He's raw as a receiver but with a skill set that can't be taught. Great character, an off-the-charts athletic profile and a tireless work ethic are hard to fade. My take: I still take Hampton at 1.02 unless I'm flush at running back. Cam Ward is also a possibility here. Otherwise, select Hunter and reap what should be a long career of production. 1.04 Cam Ward, WR, TEN No, he's not up to the quality we normally expect at the top of the draft. But, in SuperFlex, if you have a deficit at the position, you can't afford to pass on the opportunity. Ward possesses enough intriguing aspects to be of high-ceiling potential. Advertisement My take: I've seen some mocks with Ward falling below 1.06. Not going to happen. In SuperFlex, quarterbacks remain the coin of the realm, and if you don't have two starters, you need to sell out to obtain them. Yes, 1.04 could be considered a bit rich, but there's little choice if you have a need. 1.05 Tetairoa McMillan, WR, CAR Truly an 'eye of the beholder' pick as multiple running backs, McMillan and even Tyler Warren could be in play with this pick. There are no wrong answers here, as you can expect managers to overlay a healthy degree of 'need' into this selection. My take: There's something about McMillan that doesn't grab me when balanced against the upside of TreVeyon Henderson, who would be my pick. No questioning Tet's role and upside, but Henderson is my choice. 1.06 TreVeyon Henderson, RB, NE Conjuring some Jahmyr Gibbs comps, Henderson is built a bit thicker, though he doesn't quite have the same 'it' factor. He's close enough in comp to hit as long as he garners touches early. He could be a 60-reception back in his rookie season. My take: I would have selected Henderson a slot above and, if solid at quarterback, above Ward at 1.04. I'm not particularly fond of the Patriots' skill players, but I like the direction the team is heading and am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. 1.07 Quinshon Judkins, RB, CLE I have seen Judkins mocked above Henderson due to opportunity. I don't see it. He's a solid back, decent in pass protection, but could well lose out to Dylan Sampson for third-down work. Furthermore, while I've had pushback on this, Jerome Ford still factors — his stats don't lie. My take: Judkins rounds out what I consider to be the 'Magnificent Seven' in this draft, eight if you want to include Tyler Warren. 1.08 Tyler Warren, TE, IND Quarterback quality and scheme fit are an issue here, but Warren projects as a difference-maker and should get plenty of targets to help Anthony Richardson take his next step. Warren's production profiles better with Daniel Jones under center, but I'm not projecting that to start the season. Advertisement My take: I'm not fond of taking rookie TEs early, but I made an exception for Brock Bowers in '24. I won't force a selection of Warren higher, but it fits here at 1.08. 1.09 Colston Loveland, TE, CHI I have concerns about the role and target share aside from being yet another first-round tight end, but I expect to see these two back-to-back in most drafts. My take: I still favor Warren and don't think highly enough of Loveland's drafted situation to select him in the top 10. He's no better than 1.11 on my board. 1.10 RJ Harvey, RB, DEN Social is partying like it's 1999 when it comes to Harvey. Sean Payton's 'Joker' role has received so much press in recent months that any RB selected by the Broncos had built-in momentum. Enter Harvey, a 24-year-old rookie. So much momentum is building that even 1.10 may be too late if you fancy him as a selection. My take: I like Harvey as a back. He was my RB8 before the draft and RB6 following. Age is an issue. Running backs are being faded by many and aging out in their age-27 season in fantasy. His skill set is a good one, but he's undersized, not proficient in pass protection, has competition on the depth chart, and the Broncos could still add another back (Nick Chubb, J.K. Dobbins) in free agency. He profiles as a complementary piece until proven otherwise. I'm not risking a first-round selection on that profile. To wit, Audric Estime was trending last year at this time, but the sands of time have forgotten. 1.11 Kaleb Johnson, RB, PIT It's a great fit for the big downhill runner. He'll share carries with Jaylen Warren, but the Steelers are a run-first offense, and Johnson should be an early-down producer. My take: I prefer Johnson as a selection later, after the next two receivers, but if you have a need, this selection fills it. Advertisement 1.12 Jaxson Dart, QB, NYG Based on team need, Dart could be in play anywhere from 1.09 on. Managers will need to remain patient, but he'll likely see the field in the second half of 2025. My take: Again, SuperFlex. If you have the need, you roll the dice and take your chances. If anything, it's a stroke of luck he falls this far, so you take it and hope. 2.01 Matthew Golden, WR, GB My take: I trust Green Bay when it comes to receiver scouting. Pittsburgh is a close second. The Packers haven't drafted a receiver in the first round since 2002, so this tells you something. He's a value pick here and should see snaps from Week 1. 2.02 Emeka Egbuka, WR, TB My take: Many are calling for the Egbuka to push out 2024 rookie Jalen McMillan in the starting lineup. I don't see it! One look at McMillan's rookie production tells the story. But I love Egbuka, and if you can get him here, run, don't walk! I'm fine with him as high as 1.09, or 1.08 if you have no need at TE. 2.03 Luther Burden, WR, CHI My take: Burden is picking up momentum now, elevating him over the next two names on the list. There are a lot of mouths to feed in Chicago, and I like Burden closer to 2.05. 2.04 Tre Harris, WR, LAC My take: I watched Harris more than any other receiver this past year. He's made for the NFL and, if he can stay healthy, he's a long-term starter. He should be starting from Day 1. 2.05 Cam Skattebo, RB, NYG My take: This is too early for Skattebo, but I acknowledge he's intriguing. He's picking up social momentum, with some calling for him to start over second-year back Tyrone Tracy Jr. I don't see it — I see primarily a short-yardage specialist+. 2.06 Jayden Higgins, WR, HOU My take: Size, speed, and hands are enough for Higgins to be starting across from Nico Collins to begin the 2025 season. He's not a quick-twitch athlete, and his route tree needs work, but he has what it takes to thrive in the NFL. Advertisement 2.07 Jack Bech, WR, LV My take: Bech also continues to gain momentum. Word is he projects as a Day 1 starter. He's not a sexy pick, but neither was Cooper Kupp. 2.08 Mason Taylor, TE, NYJ My take: I'm good with this spot for Taylor, and he's a value play anywhere after this. He should be starting Day 1. 2.09 Kyle Williams, WR, NE My take: Also trending, Williams would be higher on this list if he were drafted into any other situation. He's fluid and productive, something the Patriots haven't had in years. 2.10 Bhayshul Tuten, RB, JAX My take: Tuten lit up the NFL Combine, and his situation is better than it appears, with Etienne likely moving on in 2026, if not sooner, via trade. 2.11 Tyler Shough, QB, NO My take: In SuperFlex, it doesn't have to be pretty. The old rookie could be starting in 2025. Enough said. 2.12 Jaylin Noel, WR, HOU My take: This is the period in the draft where I begin losing interest. I'm lower on Noel than this selection — I prefer him in the mid-third. 3.01 Jalen Milroe, QB, SEA My take: Ultra-athletic. You spin the wheel, you take your chances. 3.02 Jalen Royals, WR, KC My take: Any receiver with Patrick Mahomes receives some wind in his sails. 3.03 Dylan Sampson, RB, CLE My take: He was my pre-draft sleeper pick, and this situation is better than advertised. 3.04 Elijah Arroyo, TE, SEA My take: Noah Fant has underwhelmed. Arroyo could see time as a rookie. 3.05 Trevor Etienne, RB, CAR My take: The situation is fine. If he's healthy, he's a worthy stash here. 3.06 Jordan James, RB, SF My take: The 49ers know running backs. He's rising. 3.07 Terrance Ferguson, TE, LAR My take: Sean McVay mentioned Travis Kelce. In a good scheme, that alone is worth the shot. 3.08 Will Howard, QB, PIT My take: You'll need to be patient, but the setup is a good one. Advertisement 3.09 Jaydon Blue, RB, DAL My take: The Cowboys did little, and that alone raises Blue's stock. Expect a free-agent addition, however. 3.10 Shedeur Sanders, QB, CLE My take: You have to believe Sanders will beat out Dillon, don't you? 3.11 Elic Ayomanor, WR, TEN My take: He's a bit one-dimensional, but his size and drafted situation are worth a shot. 3.12 Pat Bryant, WR, DEN My take: He's been rising since the draft. If this is my mock, he doesn't make the cut. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. I look forward to interacting with my readers.

What consensus NFL 2025 mock draft landing spots would mean for fantasy football rookies
The 2025 NFL Draft is drawing near. Rookies will soon have an official home, but they have unofficial landing spots courtesy of all the industry mock drafts. The NFL Mock Draft Database puts together a consensus mock draft, assigning players to the team that a plurality of mock drafts predict will be their landing spot. Advertisement Rookie performance is like real estate — location, location, location. Unlike in baseball, where it doesn't matter where a player hits or pitches because he will hit and pitch the same way regardless, in football, a player's supporting cast, coaching, usage and play calling determine performance more than his ability. This is why drafting rookies in dynasty leagues before the actual NFL draft is the ultimate act of hubris. Your scouting vibe of the player doesn't amount to a hill of beans in this absurd professional world. Is the hot rookie WR going to a team with an alpha in place, or will he start as the No. 1 target? Will the QB prospect in SuperFlex have a clear path to starting, or is he likely to sit half a year or more? Will the helium tight end actually be on a team that will adjust their offense to feature a tight end, or will he be Kyle Pitts 2.0? Is the first-round running back going to be a bell cow or a committee back, and will he have a QB and receivers who can prevent loaded boxes? (Offensive lines are more of a mystery, year-to-year.) Here are the top rookie prospects, where they're expected to be drafted and by whom, along with their current, flying blind, Best Ball ADP in NFFC leagues. I'm listing the players in their expected real-life draft order. You can pretty much bet the farm to win a pittance on Ward being the first pick. Can top rookie QB prospects be at least 6-foot-2 anymore? The coaching staff has experience with Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence. According to our Dane Brugler's The Beast draft guide, Ward is more of a 'Mahomes-type of scrambler.' So the team and coach matter more than they would with more of a Konami Code running QB. I can't see the fit in the near term. Neither can the market, with Ward now the 28th QB off the fantasy football draft board. Advertisement We want the slash to be WR/CB (in that order). But to be fair, it seems more likely for a primary corner to play a little WR than for a primary WR to play a little cornerback. Actually, for fantasy, we don't even want the slash. We just want Hunter to be a wide receiver. Brugler says he's 'WR1 in this class' (and also CB1). It's odd that everyone basically has him as a corner — WR is the more expensive position and the one that's harder to fill in free agency. But that's why his early ADP is WR59 right now. Pete Carroll will employ a bell-cow approach when health and ability allow, as he did with Marshawn Lynch. So no worries there. Jeanty doesn't need a great offensive line. The passing game is powered by a tight end, a position Geno Smith has rarely featured — it's also never been featured in a Carroll offense. The running back should be the last piece, really. Jeanty is a thrilling talent and shows the ability to be a top pass catcher, but I'm more bearish than the fantasy market, which has him at RB6. Smith-Carroll teams have never featured running backs much as receivers. I would bet Jeanty won't be the top rookie RB. With Derek Carr seemingly headed to injured reserve with a shoulder injury, Sanders is ticketed to the Saints in virtually every recent mock draft. He gives me Drew Brees vibes — shorter, not big-armed, super accurate, tough, smart. I'd love this fit even more if New Orleans still had a Sean Payton-themed infrastructure. But this passing and QB offense is rooted in Dak Prescott and Jalen Hurts. I can put Prescott, Brees and Sanders in the same traits bucket. Sanders should start Week 1 in New Orleans. He's QB29 in ADP. I'd take him over Ward. It will be hard for McMillan to get much more than 100 targets on a team with CeeDee Lamb. He seems similar to Mike Evans, but McMillan is just a tick slower. But Brugler says he's a contested catch guy, whereas Evans just blows by people (even in 2024) on deep routes. McMillan also isn't as strong as Evans was coming out of college, with Brugler citing strength as a weakness. He's also said to be more of an out-of-structure player than a route runner. I'm not feeling it here in Dallas. McMillan is going at WR34, between Jaylen Waddle and George Pickens. I'm not remotely interested in McMillan at his current price. The 'no consensus' listing means there's no consensus on where he'll be drafted. That 'No. 9' is just where he's ranked on the mock draft consensus big board. Will his landing spot have a coach or play caller who has demonstrated any affinity for emphasizing the TE position? You'd think just drafting a tight end high guarantees that, but we've been burned so often in the past. Teams have to change their progressions and plays when they have an elite tight end, and the quarterback has to read more inside-out than outside-in, which is against how almost every team designs an offense. Advertisement When I think of a productive tight end, I think of a quarterback who plays in structure and makes quick decisions by repeatedly targeting the tight end in the short middle or beating a defender with a quick outside move. But the Colts have two quarterbacks who hold the ball forever and are not quick processors. So I hate this putative landing spot. Oddly, Loveland is said to be very athletic and WR-like, but I can't find that he's run a 40, even at his pro day. I see a 4.70 time in 2022. Al Davis would spin in his grave knowing a team drafted a TE this high without a 40 time. Warren has an ADP of TE10, and Loveland's is TE20. I think we can all get down with this without even looking at how the experts view him as a talent. This is the perfect landing spot! If it materializes, he will outperform Jeanty and be RB19 (fifth round in Best Ball). He's taller and not much heavier than Jeanty. Brugler notes Hampton had 25+ touches in 66% of his games in 2024. Hampton is also lauded for receiving, which has traditionally returned massive dividends in a Payton offense. Again, no consensus landing spot. Golden wasn't very productive in college, especially adjusting for the modern collegiate passing game. Also, he had good college quarterbacks in Texas. Brugler notes that he came on late (102.8 receiving yards over his final four games — SEC championship and three playoff games). He is under 200 pounds; historically, some teams hate that. But Brugler's scouting report suggests some Tyreek Hill vibes. Fantasy football should root for Green Bay because if the Packers are spending a first-round pick on Golden, it's an indication they don't view anyone on their current roster as a No. 1 WR. Golden is WR55 in fantasy drafts right now, and I'd be a buyer if Green Bay materializes since he'd have a chance at top market share. Dart led the nation in yards per attempt in the SEC, so I don't get why he's not viewed as a potential franchise QB and a consensus top-10 pick. Brugler says, 'he's a natural thrower with promising mobility and high-level competitive intangibles.' Okay, sold. Why are we overthinking this? Dart is also unlike the other QB prospects ahead of him in that he's a shade over 6-foot-2. It's only an inch, I know, but inches matter. Many passes are deflected by an inch. Dart is QB35 but will go up to QB30 if Pittsburgh drafts him and the Steelers bypass Aaron Rodgers. Later first-round prospects have a lower landing-spot probability given the variance in where they'll be drafted. So 7% is high for pick 32. Taylor's compared to Hunter Henry by Brugler. The known 40 time on Taylor is actually 0.02 faster than Loveland. If you squint, you'd think this is a good landing spot, given the Eagles seem to want to trade Dallas Goedert. But the issue is that this Philly passing offense is too low-volume. He's now TE55, undrafted in most leagues. (Top photo of Tetaiora McMillan: Chris Gardner / Getty Images)
