2025 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings: Josh Allen Leads Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels

The 2025 NFL offseason has seen a number of moves that have affected the quarterback position from a fantasy football perspective. Geno Smith was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders, Sam Darnold left Minnesota for the Seattle Seahawks, and Justin Fields is now QB1 in the Big Apple. We also saw a few quarterbacks picked in the 2025 NFL Draft, none more valuable in fantasy football redrafts than Cam Ward. He went to the Tennessee Titans with the No. 1 pick.
That’s just a few of the player moves that will have an impact on 2025 fantasy drafts.
While some notable free agents still could impact fantasy drafts, including the eventual landing spot (if any) for Aaron Rodgers, we do have a clearer view of the quarterback position and potential depth charts for this season.
As you’ll see, Fields is one of the biggest risers at the position. A former top-10 quarterback in fantasy leagues who is still in his prime, he’s now a high-end QB2 on my list with the Jets.
On the flip side, Darnold moving from the Vikings to the Seahawks has hurt his value. A lot. A top-10 finisher last season, I now have him ranked out of the top 25. Maybe I’ll ultimately be wrong, but it’s hard to argue that his success was a product of the offense in Minnesota.
Speaking of the Vikings, I’ve moved J.J. McCarthy into the top 24 in large part to coach Kevin O’Connell’s system and the weapons in the offense. The same goes for Michael Penix Jr., who will be a popular sleeper or breakout candidate as the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. As for the aforementioned Ward, he’s also in the top 24 for redrafts.
Without further ado, here’s a look at my updated 2025 fantasy quarterback rank lists.
