Dynasty QB Ranks, Summer 2025

  • July is the perfect time to refresh my dynasty ranks heading into the 2025 season. Let’s go position by position and breakdown the dynasty assets in order.

    Rank Player Team Age Notes
    1 Josh Allen BUF 29 Perhaps the best fantasy QB we’ve ever seen, and he’s in his prime.
    2 Jayden Daniels WAS 24 Unbelievable rookie year from a young QB with a perfect fantasy profile. Potentially a top-five QB for a decade.
    3 Lamar Jackson BAL 28 Scored just four rushing TDs and was the QB1 by fully 50 points in 2024. He’s at the peak of his powers.
    4 Jalen Hurts PHI 27 Tush push didn’t get banned, so expect him to keep masking his passing deficiencies with cheap scores.
    5 Joe Burrow CIN 28 One of the better pure pocket passers we’ve seen for fantasy, but next to no rushing upside.
    6 Patrick Mahomes KC 29 The future GOAT has struggled in fantasy the past two years, but should have better weapon depth this season.
    7 Justin Herbert LAC 27 Chargers are quickly rebuilding his weapons, and it’s clear he’s Harbaugh’s sun and stars.
    8 Caleb Williams CHI 23 Bizarre rookie year, but he gets Ben Johnson and two new weapons. A year-two leap seems likely.
    9 Drake Maye NE 23 Rushing upside exceeded expectations as a rookie. Patriots’ situation is a work in progress.
    10 C.J. Stroud HOU 23 Took a step back in year two, especially in fantasy. Seems like a guaranteed 10-year NFL starter, but lacks rushing upside.
    11 Brock Purdy SF 25 Most underrated fantasy QB in the league. Newly extended, best offensive HC in the league, great weapons, sneaky rushing upside.
    12 Bo Nix DEN 25 Need to see another year of Nix before I buy that he has another gear. Impressive rushing upside as a rookie, but Marvel just recast him as Captain Checkdown.
    13 Kyler Murray ARI 28 Has become underrated and is barely going as a QB1 in redraft this year. Was QB10 with just 21 passing TDs last year. He’s a steady stud.
    14 Baker Mayfield TB 30 After Lamar, there was little total production difference between Baker, Allen and Burrow in 2024. Rock-solid middle-aged QB1 with elite weapons.
    15 Jordan Love GB 27 Definitely the QB of Matt LaFleur’s Packers for the next few years, but 2024 was a mess (he was hurt). He’s a QB2 until he re-establishes a better rushing baseline.
    16 Trevor Lawrence JAC 25 Big year for a guy we’re still kinda waiting on. He’s added Liam Coen, Travis Hunter and Bhayshul Tuten. Could be top 10 or mid 20s soon.
    17 J.J. McCarthy MIN 22 Didn’t play a down as a rookie, but gets dropped into the perfect situation. Even if he isn’t all that good, the situation has solid floor (see Sam Darnold, 2024 QB9).
    18 Michael Penix ATL 25 Love his weapons, but struggle to see the big-time upside for a rush-averse, somewhat-inaccurate pocket passer.
    19 Cam Ward TEN 23 Buzz out of Tenneesee is good, but that’s probably a bottom-five offensive situation. Ward has come a long way, but zero-star recruit to No. 1 pick gives me pause. Should hold value into 2026, though.
    20 Dak Prescott DAL 32 Still getting redraft respect after scuttled 2024. Pickens trade was huge for his passing upside. Most appealing over-30 QB in dynasty.
    21 Bryce Young CAR 24 Completely rescued his career in the back-half of 2024. Added the most QB-friendly weapon in the 2025 rookie class, after having Adam Thielen as his top weapon for first two years. Potential riser.
    22 Justin Fields NYJ 26 Whenever JF1 has been an NFL starter, he’s been a fantasy starter. Pairing with Garrett Wilson could give him additional stability. A guy you’ll want in 2025, for sure.
    23 Jared Goff DET 30 Hit his ceiling outcome in the 2024 Lions offense (QB6). Worst rusher in the top 12 by far last year. Solid dynasty QB2, and fun to stack with his weapons.
    24 Tua Tagovailoa MIA 27 Who is trading for Tua in dynasty? It feels like his career could end on one play, but he’s also on a long-term deal in a friendly offense. Similar to Goff, he doesn’t rush, but is fun to stack.
    25 Jaxson Dart NYG 22 Rushing upside potential with Dart makes him more intriguing than a late-first round rookie QB should be. When does he see the field in 2025, and is it soon enough to save the current regime?
    26 Sam Darnold SEA 28 Very tough to price Darnold, who could be the Seahawks QB for four years or 10 games. He’s still just 28 coming off of a QB1 finish.
    27 Matthew Stafford LAR 37 Could be Stafford’s last year, but even so, he’s a comfortable QB2 despite the obvious lack of rushing.
    28 Geno Smith LVR 34 Better NFL QB than fantasy QB, although he’s underrated as a fantasy producer. Doesn’t feel like enough upside to want to invest in right before he turns 35.
    29 Jalen Milroe SEA 22 Milroe is a sleeping giant in the dynasty superflex landscape. If the Seahawks can unlock him as a passer, his rushing upside is top tier. Seems unlikely to see the field as a starter in 2025, so stash him.
    30 Daniel Jones IND 28 I’m buying a Danny Dimes post-hype bounceback. The tea leaves would suggest the Colts will start him over Richardson. When he starts consistently, he can be sneaky for fantasy.
    31 Anthony Richardson IND 23 Hardest QB to rank, because it’s clear he’s being pushed out by the Colts, but he’s such a high-floor fantasy producer when he’s on the field. There just isn’t much of a case for him to be an NFL starter again.
    32 Tyler Shough NO 25 Not sure if Shough is at all good, but the Saints have lined him up to be their starter. He’d be a guy I’d be selling high on midseason if he displays competence, as he seems like a bridge starter.
    33 Russell Wilson NYG 36 Russ feels generally underrated, but it also seems like he’s already seen his last full season as a starter. His current situation has a crowded room with incentives for a quick hook on him as the starter.
    34 Aaron Rodgers PIT 41 Not an asset, but a reasonable QB2 insurance buy for 2025. Steelers will have lower pass volume, and he lacks a competent second pass catcher.
    35 Spencer Rattler NO 24 Perhaps the diamond in the rough of the league’s worst QB room. Could benefit significantly from the second-round rookie contract delays, possibly stealing key reps from Shough.
    36 Shedeur Sanders CLE 23 I am of the mind that Sanders’ draft fall has effectively scuttled his NFL career. He needed a guaranteed runway to start via draft capital, and without that, won’t be good enough to earn that role.
    37 Jameis Winston NYG 31 The offseason landing spot was brutal, but he seems like a prime trade candidate were some other QB situation to go awry.
    38 Kirk Cousins ATL 37 We may have seen the last ride for the NFL’s greatest bag getter. I’d still hold onto him in a superflex league to sell once he inevitably gets another crack, however brief.
    39 Joe Milton DAL 25 Intriguing athletic QB with no clear runway to ever see the field.
    40 Dillon Gabriel CLE 24 Highest drafted rookie QB on a team likely starting Joe Flacco, but not a good prospect and competing with Sanders to be the first guy after the first guy.
