Something to look at/discuss while we wait for the season to get closer. I will rank the top team's QB rooms in this post.
These rankings take the following things into consideration:
~ Star Power at the position
~ Depth at the position
~ expected potential growth of players this season
Since you can only start one QB, this list will mainly be the top QBs in the league, so depth isn't necessary for this ranking. Rushing ability is a major part of fantasy for QBs, so most of the top guys will be dual-threat guys who can pass and scramble if needed.
TOP QB Rooms:
1. Los Angeles Rams: Brock Purdy, SF / Aaron Rodgers, NYJ / Jordan Love, GB
Rams come in at the top of this list, as they have 3 top tier QBs who they could interchange each week based on matchups, byes, etc.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers: Josh Allen, BUF
Allen was the no. 1 QB 3 of the last 4 seasons (no. 2 in 2023). His rocket arm and legs combo is tough to compete against, especially in fantasy.
3. New England Patriots: Patrick Mahomes, KC
The best QB in the league. Not much to say. Not as much rushing upside as some of the other guys on this list, but still elite for fantasy
4. Cincinnati Bengals: Jalen Hurts, PHI
Great dual-threat QB, with the most unstoppable play in the league (Tush Push).
5. Carolina Panthers: Lamar Jackson, BAL
Another dual-threat QB. Jackson, the 2x MVP, has insane rushing upside along with a solid arm.
6. Los Angeles Chargers: Joe Burrow, CIN
A top 3 QB in the NFL. Not the biggest rushing upside, but high-powered offense leads to big fantasy points, if he can stay healthy.
7. Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams, CHI / Justin Fields, PIT
Chicago has 2 solid options. Williams has a great supporting group around him to succeed early on in his career. Fields, if he can win the job in Pittsburgh, has elite rushing upside.
8. Detroit Lions: Anthony Richardson, IND / Gardner Minshew, LVR
Detroit has 2 solid options as well. AR showed glimpses of elite rushing which can lead to top tier fantasy points. Minshew, if he keeps his starting spot for Las Vegas, is a serviceable QB week in and week out.
9. Buffalo Bills: Justin Herbert, LAC
New offense might hurt his production, But Herbert is an elite QB with decent rushing ability and one of the best arms in the league.
