The quarterback position was not one of the most attractive in terms of prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. It became even less so when Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, a projected top 10 pick, didn’t come off the board until the fifth round. What’s more, the team that drafted him, the Cleveland Browns, had already selected a quarterback (Dillon Gabriel out of Oregon) earlier in the draft. So, Sanders’ stock comes with major questions.

On a positive note, the No. 1 overall pick, Cam Ward, should be given every chance to be the Week 1 starter for the Tennessee Titans. He’s easily the best dynasty quarterback in the class.

Jaxon Dart, drafted by the New York Giants at No. 25, has the next best chance to be a fantasy impact maker. However, he’ll likely have to wait until Year 2 as the G-Men have Russell Wilson at quarterback and Jameis Winston possibly second on the depth chart.

With that said, here’s my initial look at my top 10 fantasy quarterbacks for dynasty drafts.
