Josh Allen finished QB2 in fantasy scoring last season behind only Lamar Jackson. Over the past five years, Jackson has led all QBs in fantasy scoring three times, with two runner-up finishes. His 22.6 fantasy points per game last season represented a five-year low, but that's a mighty high floor. Allen also hit five-year lows in passing yardage (3,731) and TD passes (28), but the lack of a marquee receiver was undoubtedly a factor. No Bills pass catcher had more than 821 receiving yards of five TD catches last year. Pass-catching firepower might still be an issue for Allen in 2025 since the Bills' only noteworthy additions in that department are WRs Josh Palmer and Elijah Moore. But Allen provides consistently excellent rushing numbers. He's averaged 591.7 rushing yards and 9.3 TD runs over his seven-year career, piling up 27 rushing touchdowns over the last two years. Despite his fearless running, Allen has been remarkably injury-resistant, having made 104 consecutive starts. He once again deserves to be one of the first two quarterbacks off the board in fantasy drafts.
Fueled by career highs in passing yards (4,172) and TD passes (41), Lamar Jackson finished QB1 in fantasy scoring in 2024, averaging 25.6 fantasy points per game. It was Jackson's highest fantasy scoring average since his only other QB1 finish in 2019, when he averaged 28.1 FPPG. Jackson was remarkably efficient as a passer last season, completing 66.7% of his throws and averaging a league-high 8.8 yards per pass attempt. And of course, Jackson provided plenty of the usual rushing goodness, with 915 rushing yards and four TD runs. Since becoming a full-time starter in 2019, Jackson has averaged 913 rushing yards a season. The Ravens had very little offseason turnover in their offensive personnel, and the addition of veteran WR DeAndre Hopkins could help. Jackson warrants consideration at the No. 1 quarterback in 2025 fantasy drafts.
One of the best pure passers in the game, Joe Burrow led the NFL last season in completions (460), passing yardage (4,918) and TD passes (43). Burrow completed 70.6% of his passes, threw only nine interceptions despite a league-high 652 pass attempts, and averaged 289.3 passing yards per game. Burrow finished QB3 in fantasy scoring last year. Could he be an even more valuable fantasy asset in 2025? It's not out of the question. Burrow has arguably the best WR combo in the league with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and the Bengals' defensive shortcomings could thrust Burrow into plenty of high-scoring shootouts. Burrow doesn't provide much in the way of rushing, but he's such a prolific passer that he's a top-five fantasy quarterback anyway.
In four seasons as an NFL starter, Jalen Hurts has finished QB6, QB1, QB2 and QB6 in fantasy points per game. Hurts finished QB8 overall last season, largely because he was knocked out of a Week 16 game with a concussion and missed the last two regular-season games. Rushing value is a big part of Hurts' fantasy appeal. He's averaged 13 TD runs over the last four years, hitting double digits each season. Hurts has also amassed more than 600 rushing yards in each of the last four years. The Eagles had the run-heaviest offense in the league last season, and Hurts has never piled up big passing totals. If the NFL bans "the tush push" -- the Eagles' signature short-yardage play, with Hurts surging forward aided by a shove from a running back -- we may have to downgrade Hurts from a top-five fantasy quarterback to more of a lower-end QB1.
What can Jayden Daniels do for an encore after a triumphant rookie season? Selected No. 2 overall in last year's NFL Draft, Daniels earned Offensive Rookie of the Year honors after throwing for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns, with an additional 891 rushing yards and six TD runs. That output was good for a QB5 fantasy finish. The Commanders feathered Daniels nest in the offseason by adding WRs Deebo Samuel and Dyami Brown, and, perhaps most significantly, stalwart left tackle Laremy Tunsil. Expect more fantasy goodness from the NFL's brightest new star at the QB position.
