1.) Josh Allen (BUF) – Highest upside at the position with the rushing and throwing factor. Only reason wasn’t as clear cut for me this season is due to the loss of some of his offensive weapons.

2.) Patrick Mahomes (KC) – He’s Patrick Mahomes enough said. Much improved offense when it comes to his WR options. Has rushing upside and ability to create with his legs enough to help in that fantasy department.

3.) Jalen Hurts (PHI) – Only reason I have him behind Mahomes is the addition of Saquon Barkley. His passing upside isn’t as high or consistent as Mahomes, but Barkley may be stealing a handful of his rushing tds this season.

4.) Lamar Jackson (BAL) – Interchangeable with Jalen Hurts in my opinion. Will have more total rush yards but in the past less rushing tds. I believe that like Saquon with Hurts, Derrick Henry will take away a handful of Lamar’s possible rushing scores.

5.) Anthony Richardson (IND) – Scares me with the unproven factor, but was putting up a high avg of points when he played his couple games last season. Offense should be better this year with a healthy JT, but that may also take away some of his goal lines scores.

6.) Joe Burrow (CIN) – Could be top 5 finisher if he stays healthy. Highest upside besides Mahomes when it comes to passing yds and td ability.

7.) Kyler Murray (ARI) – Could be top 5 finisher in fantasy points as well if he maintains his health and continues with his rushing ability. Offense absolutely improved with the addition of MHJ and emergence of Trey Mcbride.

8.) CJ Stroud (HOU) – No real rushing upside is the only reason I didn’t have him ranked as high. Relying on passing yds and tds which all could go up with the addition of Diggs and getting Dell back healthy. Rushing upside to me won’t improve with addition of a real running back in Joe Mixon.

9.) Brock Purdy (SF) – Mr. Consistent for the most part when it comes to not having real down weeks and having some big weeks. Has one of the best if not the best offense around him. Adds a little bit of rushing ability as well.

10.) Justin Herbert (LAC) – Seen him low on a handful of lists, but he always finds a way to produce. Has dealt with injuries to his WR core and lack of production of a run game last season and still found ways to produce. New coach and ability to run I still like him to be top 10 finisher at the QB position.

11.) Jordan Love (GB) – Didn’t want to be a believer being a Bears fan and all, but he proved what he could do last year. Had a mediocre offensive line and not a ton of weapons. His weapons are a year older this season with a healthy Watson poised for a bounce back year. I believe they upgraded at RB with Jacobs over Jones.

12.) Dak Prescott (DAL) – Still has his weapons at the WR group and TE spot, but lack of RB depth or talent will likely be a regression for Dak this year. Ceedee had a huge year and I think he’s in for another big year, but will be hard to see him matching last year in my opinion.

13.) Aaron Rodgers (NYJ) – Based on him being healthy he has a good offense and good defense. Missing piece for this team has been QB. Could be a bigger year than most predict for him.

14.) Tua Tagovailoa (MIA) – One of the best WR combos in the league with explosive RB tandem. Had a handful of low point weeks, but also the ability to go big. Consistency is the problem and I don’t see that changing much besides having a fairly week defensive schedule this season.

15.) Jared Goff (DET) – Great offensive and great line. Only thing hurting his fantasy value is having 2 RBs who could vulture a good amount of his scoring chances.

16.) Trevor Lawrence (JAC) – Don’t trust him to be consistent, but upgrade in WR weapons may  help him this year.

17.) Kirk Cousins (ATL) – Another situation where a solid offense was only lacking a good QB. Kirk has always been solid passing numbers when he’s been healthy and played full season with weapons around him.

18.) Baker Mayfield (TB) – Some think last season was a fluke. Same offense coming back and a year of comfort for Baker, I like him to repeat for the most part.

19.) Caleb Williams (CHI) – Put an offense around their star rookie, only he can be the reason why this offense fails.

20.) Jayden Daniels (WAS) – Will have to carry this offense with limited weapons. High risk, high reward.

21.) Matt Stafford (DET)

22.) Daniel Jones (NYG)

23.) Deshaun Watson (CLE)

24.) Geno Smith (SEA)

25.) Bryce Young (CAR)

26.) Derek Carr (NO)

27.) Will Levis (TEN)

28.) Drake Maye (NE)

29.) Bo Nix (DEN)

30.) Russell Wilson (PIT)

31.) Gardner Minshew (LV)

32.) J.J. McCarthy (MIN)

33.) Justin Fields (PIT)

34.) Sam Darnold (MIN)

35.) Aidan O’Connell (LV)

36.) Jacoby Brissett (NE)

37.) Michael Penix Jr. (ATL)

38.) Sam Howell (SEA)

39.) Drew Lock (NYG)

40.) Jameis Winston (CLE)
