Dynasty Quarterback Rankings

Back to Rankings   -   Print

1.      Aaron Rodgers - Packers
Beast! Easily the top rated fantasy QB in the league. Concussions are the only concern here.
 
2.      Matthew Stafford - Lions
One of the most naturally talented QB's in the league. Health is the only question mark.
 
3.      Cam Newton (R) - Panthers
Best rookie QB fantasy season ever. Still has even more upside than what we saw in 2011. Risk of a sophomore slump is there, but long term he's a Beast without question.
 
4.      Philip Rivers - Chargers
In a down year, he managed 4,600+ yards and 26 TD's. Don't worry about the INT's, he is an elite and consistent fantasy scorer.
 
5.      Drew Brees - Saints
Keeps on churning out Beast numbers. Offensive weapons and play calling should see to that continuing.
 
6.      Matt Ryan - Falcons
Has shown consistent fantasy ability and elevated his game this year. The future is even brighter. Has the passing weapons to be a Top 10 QB for the next 5-7 years.
 
7.      Eli Manning - Giants
Breakout season as Eli continues to improve his game each season. He's a legit QB1.
 
8.      Tom Brady - Patriots
Continues to put up QB1 numbers, but age is a factor. He's a sell if you are rebuilding but a buy if you're a QB away from contending.
 
9.      Josh Freeman - Bucs
After stellar sophomore season, Freeman has cooled some, but still offers sky high upside.
 
10.      Ben Roethlisberger - Steelers
Big Ben has had his share of troubles off the field, but on the field he is all business. Not an elite option, but a solid backend QB1/2.
 
11.      Sam Bradford - Rams
Still growing as a prospect, buy low candidate for 2012 potential breakout. Pivotal season coming up.
 
12.      Michael Vick - Eagles
Not quite his breakout 2010 season, but Vick was solid in 2011. He is a rare QB1 that adds RB1 stats with his rushing numbers. Takes RB type hits as well, so longevity is a concern.
 
13.      Tony Romo - Cowboys
Plenty of weapons to support him for the remainder of his career in Dallas.
 
14.      Joe Flacco - Ravens
QB1 optimism is fading, looking more like a perennial QB2. Still has upside however.
 
15.      Andy Dalton (R) - Bengals
Impressive rookie season, but more of a QB2 long term.
 
16.      Jay Cutler - Bears
Elite skill set, but his head keeps him from making the perennial jump to Top 10 status. Needs more weapons and to cut down on the mistakes.
 
17.      Matt Schaub - Texans
A fantasy beast that is not an elite NFL QB. This will likely catch up to him over the long term, but enjoy the production now.
 
18.      Peyton Manning - Colts
2012 Comeback Player of the Year. Hopefully.
 
19.      Jake Locker (R) - Titans
Only played in 5 games this year and flashed major potential. Still needs time to develop, but should see more action in 2012. He's a buy if you need a young developmental QB.
 
20.      Mark Sanchez - Jets
Seemed to regress in real football, but put up his best fantasy season. Needs to take a step forward in 2012.
 
21.      Carson Palmer - Raiders
Back from retirement, he's the master of garbage time points. Has a solid team around him, QB2 value for another few seasons.
 
22.      Tim Tebow - Broncos
It's not pretty, but it works for fantasy. Remains to be seen if it will work long term for the Broncos.
 
23.      Christian Ponder (R) - Vikings
Ponder showed enough when healthy in the 2nd half of the season to have Viks stick with him. Needs a jump in year 2.
 
24.      Matt Flynn - Packers
Hype train will be reaching it's peak in a few months. Should he find a nice landing spot, he's got solid QB2 value.
 
25.      Matt Cassel - Chiefs
Settles in as a decent QB2, but could have competition for his job. He's somewhere in between 2009 and 2010.
 
26.      Ryan Fitzpatrick - Bills
Genius Gunslinger got his large contract and almost immediately his play started to go downhill. Needs a strong open and close to 2012 to remain in their long term plans.
 
27.      Kevin Kolb - Cardinals
Brutal season and he's a major concussion risk. Could be solid QB2 if he gets it together in 2012.
 
28.      Alex Smith - 49ers
Not much upside, Smith is a game-managing QB2/3.
 
29.      Colt McCoy - Browns
Limited arm strength, but enough talent to be a QB2. Might not be the answer in Cleveland however.
 
30.      Colin Kaepernick (R) - 49ers
Beast Upside, but raw talent that will take time to develop. Will likely need to wait a few seasons, but that could benefit him in the long term.
 
31.      Kyle Orton - Chiefs
Perennial QB2 since he will likely never stay in one situation for a long period of time. Has the potential for Top-15 numbers for a few seasons if he could find a long term gig.
 
32.      Chad Henne - Dolphins
Was showing some signs of growth before a shoulder injury landed him on IR.
 
33.      Blaine Gabbert (R) - Jaguars
Bred to be an NFL QB. The jury is still out, but Gabbert is in a nice situation to sit for a season behind veteran David Garrard. He'll likely see the field by Week 10.
 
34.      Josh Johnson - Bucs.
An extremely gifted athlete, but he is young and has a lot to learn. He is a free agent after 2011. Roster him now.
 
35.      John Skelton - Cardinals
Skelton has the skillset, but needs more time to develop. A definite handcuff for Kolb owners in deep leagues.
 
36.      Joe Webb - Vikings
Still a long way to go, but some nice upside if Ponder doesn't pan out.
 
37.      Ryan Mallet (R) - Patriots
Has the intangibles, will likely get moved in 2 or 3 seasons for a team looking for a QB groomed behind Tom Brady.
 
38.      TJ Yates (R) - Texans
Showed poise down the stretch. Handcuff for Schaub owners will some long term upside.
 
39.      Jason Campbell - Raiders
Held his own and has starter ability, but season ending injury hurts his value.
 
40.      Matt Moore - Dolphins
Showed enough in 2011 to earn him at the very least a shot to start next season.
 
41.      Tarvaris Jackson - Seahawks
Tarvaris showed us a few things in 2011, most importantly that he is nothing more than a league average QB.
 
42.      Vince Young - Eagles
Can he handle the stress of being a starting QB? He's more NFL back-up material.
 
43.      Brian Hoyer - Patriots
Has a long way to go before seeing any action. He has shown good poise with his opportunities and he is learning from one of the most productive head coach/QB combos in the history of the NFL. Will he leave for greener pastures?
 
44.      Terrelle Pryor (R) - Raiders
High risk high reward prospect.
 
45.      Jimmy Clausen - Panthers
Stock is way down after abysmal debut. Still young, but needs a change of scenery to get a chance.
 
46.      Ricki Stanzi (R)- Chiefs
Developmental prospect that could surprise if given the opportunity.
 
47.      Stephen McGee - Cowboys
This is Tony Romo's team, but McGee could end up his backup and possible heir apparent on a high powered offense.
 
48.      Mike Kafka - Eagles
A skilled backup that may make a push for a starting role somewhere in 2 or 3 seasons.
 
49.      Chase Daniel - Saints
Limited upside, but young, capable backup.
 
50.      Dennis Dixon - Steelers
Dixon has some long term potential. Accuracy and decision making is suspect, but speed and big arm make him a threat.
