| Rank | Player | Team | Opponent | Notes |
| 1 | Josh Allen | BUF | NYJ | Week 1’s 4th quarter binge shows why he’s still the king |
| 2 | Lamar Jackson | BAL | CLE | Can’t believe they lost that game, but Lamar could easily be the guy you need at QB this year |
| 3 | Jalen Hurts | PHI | KC | Barely passed to his top WRs and still had a great game. Might be matchup proof this year. |
| 4 | Joe Burrow | CIN | JAC | Should be a better matchup for Burrow this week. Sticking with my priors here. |
| 5 | Jayden Daniels | WAS | GB | This is a huge litmus test of whether GB is the QB matchup to avoid going forward,. |
| 6 | Kyler Murray | ARI | CAR | Panthers are still my favorite matchup to target until further notice, and Murray had a solid Week 1 against another bad team |
| 7 | Justin Fields | NYJ | BUF | Fields wasn’t just a great fantasy QB in Week 1, he was a great real QB. Lamar lit up the Bills, so I’d expect more production from Fields. |
| 8 | Drake Maye | NE | MIA | Daniel Jones lit these guys up. Not sure it’ll always be that bad, but Maye is a great choice this week. |
| 9 | Justin Herbert | LAC | LVR | Looked like a different caliber of player in Brazil. He could move into the upper echelon of fantasy QBs if it continues. |
| 10 | Baker Mayfield | TB | HOU | Tougher matchup for Mayfield this week, but he’s still got the playmakers to capitalize. |
| 11 | Patrick Mahomes | KC | PHI | Tough matchup and his weapons are depleted, but he still succeeded last week in tough circumstances. |
| 12 | Dak Prescott | DAL | NYG | Prescott is 13-2 in his career against the Giants. Hard to square how well he played last week with his stats. I’m playing him this week. |
| 13 | Trevor Lawrence | JAC | CIN | Like this matchup for Lawrence, but need him to have a big game to keep popping up on the streaming radar. |
| 14 | Bo Nix | DEN | IND | Nix was shaky in Week 1, and it’s something to monitor, but this should be a cushy bounce back spot. |
| 15 | Jordan Love | GB | WAS | Love looked great in Week 1, but he has some injuries worth monitoring in his pass-catching group. With the short week, it makes me nervous. |
| 16 | Caleb Williams | CHI | DET | Thought Williams was poor as an actual QB Monday, but his rushing upside looks higher than ever. |
| 17 | Jared Goff | DET | CHI | There’s significant concern here, but I expect the Lions to bounce back at home quite a bit this week. |
| 18 | C.J. Stroud | HOU | TB | Concerning lack of Nico Collins in Week 1, but should still pass a ton. |
| 19 | Michael Penix | ATL | MIN | Bad matchup, but his fantasy ceiling appears to be on the rise. |
| 20 | J.J. McCarthy | MIN | ATL | Still wary of just exactly what McCarthy is as an NFL producer, but hard not to be somewhat intrigued by how he closed MNF. |
| 21 | Geno Smith | LVR | LAC | Think Smith might be a rock solid, underrated producer this year as long as his weapons stay healthy. Chargers matchup seems tough though |
| 22 | Bryce Young | CAR | ARI | This is my last stand with Young. This should be a pretty easy matchup, and if he struggles mightily again, he’s going to be a permanent fixture in the bottom three. |
| 23 | Aaron Rodgers | PIT | SEA | One of the players of the week last week, but that’s a tough matchup that might see him fall back to earth. |
| 24 | Matthew Stafford | LAR | TEN | Old guy has still got it, but his upside still isn’t what you’d like it to be, especially with the back issues. |
| 25 | Daniel Jones | IND | DEN | Loved seeing Jones have a huge game in Week 1, but this Denver matchup will likely put a damper on that mini breakout. |
| 26 | Joe Flacco | CLE | BAL | Flacco is going to throw the ball a ton as long as he starts in Cleveland. He’s more of a volume supporter than a fantasy starter. |
| 27 | Russell Wilson | NYG | DAL | I like targeting Dallas as a QB matchup, but this version of Wilson is a tough sell. |
| 28 | Sam Darnold | SEA | PIT | This matchup and his Week 1 performance leave me with little interest in Darnold until further notice. |
| 29 | Tua Tagovailoa | MIA | NE | Impossible to trust him after he laid an almighty egg against the Colts last week. With Tyreek’s status up in the air, it’s a stay away. |
| 30 | Cam Ward | TEN | LAR | Just a brutal first game for Ward, but Denver can do that. Unfortunately, so can the Rams. |
| 31 | Mac Jones | SF | NO | If you’re starting Mac Jones in fantasy football in 2025, you might be beyond saving. |
| 32 | Spencer Rattler | NO | SF | SF D corralled the Seahawks quite well in Week 1, leaving very little upside for a fringe guy like Rattler. |
