Fantasy Football Rankings: QBs – 21-35

Daniel Jones, QB, Giants. Bye: .

Daniel Jones made a big leap in 2022, but regressed this past season because of his horrible offensive line. Jones’ blocking has improved a bit, and he’ll have Malik Nabers at his disposal, so things are looking up.

Justin Fields, QB, Bears. Bye: .

Justin Fields continued to rush for high yardage after a slow start to his 2023 campaign. He’s the backup in Pittsburgh at the moment, but it’s reasonable to expect him to supplant Wilson at some point.

Matthew Stafford, QB, Rams. Bye: .

Matthew Stafford had a woeful 2022 season, but rebounded nicely last year with an improved offensive line and an emerging Puka Nacua.

J.J. McCarthy has two great receivers at his disposal, but has low upside, much like Mac Jones.

Geno Smith, QB, Seahawks. Bye: .

Geno Smith took a step backward in production last year despite Jaxon Smith-Njigba joining the team. With a new coaching staff in place, it’s fair to expect further regression.

Derek Carr, QB, Saints. Bye: .

Derek Carr had a decent season in 2023 despite dealing with numerous injuries. Carr didn’t miss a game, but didn’t play at 100 percent during several games.

Deshaun Watson, QB, Browns. Bye: .

Deshaun Watson was a big disappointment last year in the six games he played before getting hurt. There’s no reason to think we’ll see the Watson of old again.

Baker Mayfield, QB, Buccaneers. Bye: .

Baker Mayfield had a great season under Dave Canales. Unfortunately for Mayfield, Canales is gone, so some regression is likely.

Bo Nix looks to be the next Christian Ponder or Blaine Gabbert, i.e., a second-round quarterback prospect pushed to the first round because of a team being desperate for a quarterback.

Bryce Young, QB, Panthers. Bye: .

Bryce Young was utterly atrocious as a rookie. The Panthers hired Dave Canales to be their new head coach to help Young. Canales has worked his magic with Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield, but he has his work cut out for him with Young.

Russell Wilson, QB, . Bye: .

Russell Wilson posted decent stats last year, but most of his numbers came in garbage time. It’s difficult to feel bullish about him, especially on a run-first team like Pittsburgh with Justin Fields there to challenge him.

Will Levis, QB, Titans. Bye: .

Will Levis will have an entire offseason to develop. He showed some flashes last year, but also had some dud performances.

Joe Flacco, QB, . Bye: .

Joe Flacco might get a chance to start in Indianapolis because Anthony Richardson is so injury-prone.

Trey Lance, QB, Cowboys. Bye: .

People love this guy for some reason.

Tom Brady, QB, . Bye: .

Tom Brady continues to be retired. Perhaps he’ll change his mind again.
