The 2024 fantasy football season is now in the rearview mirror, so … what’s next? Well, if you’ve been playing this great hobby as long as I have, you know there’s never an offseason! In fact, I’ve already started to construct my fantasy player rankings for the 2025 campaign!
At the quarterback position, we saw serious positive movement from several players who weren’t expected to become fantasy assets. Jayden Daniels became an elite player in his rookie season, and Baker Mayfield re-emerged into a highly productive weekly fantasy starter with the Buccaneers. Bo Nix produced a top-10 finish almost out of nowhere, and we saw Sam Darnold go from a fantasy afterthought into a top-10 signal-caller.
On the flip side, fans were disappointed by a number of field generals, none more than C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson. Both were drafted as top-six quarterbacks based on ADP data, and neither finished in the top 15. Others, like Patrick Mahomes, Caleb Williams, Tua Tagovailoa, Kirk Cousins, Trevor Lawrence and Dak Prescott, didn’t meet expectations.
The upcoming offseason promises plenty of roster changes, including Darnold, Russell Wilson, and Justin Fields potentially changing teams as free agents. Also, we could see Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins change teams, or in Rodgers' case retire, which could impact fantasy values. But for now, here’s my way-too-early look at the fantasy quarterback position for next season.
