The conclusion of Super Bowl LIX put a bow on the 2024 NFL season. It also means the start of what promises to be an exciting offseason that will see plenty of player movement via free agency and trades. With that said, I’ve compiled my second list of the top fantasy quarterbacks of 2025 … we’ll call it Fabs’ Way-Too-Early Quarterbacks Rankings 2.0.

In 2024, we saw positive movement from a number of players who weren’t expected to be high-end fantasy assets. Jayden Daniels became an elite player in his rookie season, and Baker Mayfield re-emerged as a productive fantasy starter with the Buccaneers. Bo Nix produced a top-10 finish almost out of nowhere in his first NFL campaign, and veteran Sam Darnold went from being a fantasy afterthought to a top-10 signal-caller.

On the flip side, fans were disappointed by the likes of 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. That’s reflected in the rankings.

The upcoming offseason promises plenty of roster changes, which could include Darnold, Russell Wilson, and Justin Fields potentially changing teams as free agents. Also, we could see Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins on the move, which could impact fantasy values. But for now, here’s my way-too-early look at the fantasy quarterback position for next season.
