Training camps are opening this month!

Soon, we’ll see how the offseason movement pans out, most notably at quarterback. The number of changes were massive, from Justin Fields signing with the Jets, Sam Darnold going to the Seahawks, Geno Smith getting traded to the Raiders and Aaron Rodgers signing with the Steelers. What’s more, there are a few teams that will have rookies as projected starters, including Cam Ward in Tennessee and maybe Tyler Shough in New Orleans.

Still other teams will promote quarterbacks into full-time starting roles, like Michael Penix Jr. in Atlanta, J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota and whoever is going to start in Cleveland between the quartet of Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco, and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders.

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 at QB15 on my list. On the other hand, Darnold moving from the Vikings to the Seahawks has really 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 McCarthy into the top 24 in large part due to coach Kevin O’Connell’s system and the weapons in the offense. The same goes for Penix Jr., who will be a popular sleeper or breakout candidate as the new 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.
