These fantasy football rankings are refreshed live every day based on average draft position data generated by the fantasy football mock drafts. Use the rankings and projections below to help you win your fantasy football draft.

This makes it imperative to get strong quarterback production and to help with this effort, The Athletic is providing its readers with access to my annual deep dive write-ups for the quarterback position. I have been penning these types of reviews for my fantasy football draft guide series for 20 years now (the 2023 edition can be found here), but this list of the Top 25 quarterbacks marks the first time these write-ups have been made available at scale outside of that periodical.

(The write-ups also include references to the color-coded system in regard to matchups, as they often highlight if a player has a high volume of green-rated (favorable) or red-rated (unfavorable) opponents.)

The chart concludes with a suggested draft round and auction dollar value (A$) for each player ($200 budget format). The draft round is based on leagues that have only one starting quarterback and will need to be adjusted for fantasy managers in 2QB/SuperFlex leagues.

Upside case: With his 417.4 points last season, Mahomes is now the only quarterback in league history to score 400+ points in two seasons (417.1 in 2018). A big factor in this is that Andy Reid leans on Mahomes close to the goal line, as Mahomes led the league by wide margins in attempts, completions, and touchdown passes in the red zone and inside the 10-yard line last season. Mahomes also excels in every other area, as he was first in short PPG, seventh in vertical PPG, and eighth in rush PPG last year. Reid may be the best offensive play caller in the NFL. The fireworks points total suggests Kansas City will get in a ton of high scoring games.

Downside case: Prior to Josh Allen finishing first in QB points in 2020 and 2021, no quarterback had achieved back-to-back No. 1 ranks in QB scoring since Daunte Culpepper in 2003-04. The KC wide receiver corps is very untested, which means an injury to Travis Kelce could leave Mahomes too dependent on newcomers. The Chiefs have a favorable rush defense schedule, so Reid may decide to focus on rushing the ball more this season.

Overall case: There is no doubt Allen will be one of the leading scorers at this position in 2023, but the potential for even a marginal rushing decrease is enough to place him second on the quarterback board.

Overall case: Rushing quarterbacks can move up the quarterback ranking charts quite quickly, but they do hit resistance near the top of those ranks because ground ability can only take fantasy quarterbacks to a certain level. In the case of Fields, that level is just below the elite four. UPDATE: The Burrow injury has moved Fields up to the No. 4 ranking on the QB chart.

Downside case: The Bengals were 12th in percentage of pass plays in the red zone and were only four-tenths of a percentage point away from ranking 14th. This shows that Bengals fans and fantasy managers are correct about Zac Taylor leaning on the run a bit too much in key situations. Only two quarterbacks have thrown more interceptions over the past two years. UPDATE: He is now battling a calf injury that could impact the start of his 2023 campaign.

Draft strategy: UPDATE: Burrow may still offer the highest ROI for anyone at this position, as this offense allows him to contend for the top scoring spot, but in general he should be taken as a late third- or early-fourth round pick.

Overall case: Dak Prescott played two full seasons in a Moore offense and ranked second and seventh, respectively, in QB points in those years. Herbert should land somewhere in that range as a mid-tier QB1.

Draft strategy: Many fantasy managers will still see Jackson as a Top 4 quarterback and push his draft stock up accordingly. That could cause a third-round valuation for Jackson, but savvy managers will acknowledge the downgrade and wait until Round 4 to pick him.

Upside case: The coaching change to Doug Pederson was all Lawrence needed to turn things around after his disappointing rookie season. It helped Lawrence post Top 12 marks in overall, pass, rush, short, and vertical PPG. The across-the-board scoring trend moved Lawrence to a No. 7 fantasy QB ranking and that was without Calvin Ridley, who is back after a year-long suspension. Jacksonville has accumulated what is perhaps a Top 5 set of skill position players and could end up as a Top 5 scoring offense. Lawrence scored five rushing touchdowns on six carries inside the 5-yard line, which shows Pederson trusts him near the goal line. Lawrence has only missed two games in five collegiate/pro seasons.

Upside case: Prescott has always been highly productive, but with HC Mike McCarthy taking over play calling, Prescott has a chance to move his scoring into prime Aaron Rodgers territory. Prescott was a Top 10 PPG scorer in the overall, short, and stretch vertical categories last year. Prescott also doubled his 2021 rush PPG pace, which suggests a return to upper-tier form in this area is possible. Adding Brandin Cooks to the receiving corps should help Prescott get back to Top 10 PPG status in vertical PPG and a trio of quality tight ends ought to assist on short and goal-line throws.

Overall case: There is no doubt that Rodgers is a huge positional improvement for the Jets, but this is not the optimal place to get Rodgers back into the QB1 tier, so rate him just outside of that level.

Overall case: Wilson has seen his fantasy production drop in consecutive seasons, as he placed 15th and 16th, respectively, in QB scoring in those years. The addition of Payton should help in some areas, but the net fantasy impact for Wilson looks to be lateral, so expect another upper-tier QB2 showing.

Upside case: One of the most amazing statistics from last season is that Goff ranked fifth in pass PPG. He did this due to some incredible short pass numbers, placing second in short PPG and posting a 23-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio at that depth level. Many of those short aerials took place inside the 10-yard line, as Goff was second in touchdown passes in that area of the field. Detroit could be even more dynamic on short passes with Jahmyr Gibbs on the roster, as Gibbs led the Alabama Crimson Tide in receptions last year and can be used all over the gridiron. Goff is very durable, having missed only five games in the past six seasons. The schedule and fireworks points totals are auspicious.

Overall case: Goff was a QB1 last season and there is a reasonable percentage chance that he posts another low-end QB1-caliber point total this year, but the better percentage play is to select Goff as a mid-tier QB2 due to the lack of vertical success and rushing production.

Upside case: Carr was an elite downfield passer last year, placing sixth in vertical PPG and fourth in stretch vertical PPG. Chris Olave (11th in vertical PPR PPG last year) and Rashid Shaheed (13th in stretch vertical PPR PPG) provide Carr with targets who can help him repeat that performance. If Michael Thomas returns to form, it will be three impact wideouts for Carr to go along with Alvin Kamara and Juwan Johnson. Carr is very durable, having missed only four games in nine NFL seasons. HC Dennis Allen has utilized pass-centric offenses in the past. The matchup points total is as good as one could ask for.

Overall case: The TFS Draft Guide series always advises caution when considering rostering injury prone players. Tagovailoa is a prime example of this and since the quarterback position is stacked high with strong starter and backup prospects, Tagovailoa is a mid-tier QB2.

Upside case: The Colts drafted Richardson due to his hybrid pass/rush skills. The best display of these talents occurred when Richardson totaled 515 offensive yards against Tennessee last season, which is the third-highest single game total ever posted in that category by a Gator. HC Shane Steichen knows how to get the most out of a rushing quarterback, having helped craft game plans for Jalen Hurts. The matchup points total is propitious.

Downside case: Richardson was eighth in the SEC in YPA versus Power 5 teams last year and had multiple games with dismal passing numbers, so his aerial skills need some work. Richardson could have a significant learning curve, as he had only one season as the Gators starting quarterback. The Colts have a low rushing defense matchup points total, meaning Richardson will face some challenging matchups on the ground.

Overall case: Rushing quarterbacks are understandably popular in fantasy football, as that skill can quickly vault them to starter-caliber points. That makes a mid-tier QB2 valuation appropriate.

Overall case: Stafford was second in passing PPG in 2021, so there is upside here if he can return to close to that form but do note that season is the only time since 2017 that Stafford has been a QB1. That means he is best valued as a low-end QB2 with a potentially higher ceiling if things pan out.

Upside case: Murray played in only 10 full games last year and yet still finished eighth in rushing fantasy points and was sixth in rush PPG. Short passes are another strength, as Murray was sixth in PPG at that depth level last year. New OC Drew Petzing has a pass game background and Marquise Brown has been superb on short passes for two straight years, so Arizona could go more aerial heavy than expected. Murray looks to be on the early end of the date range to return from his Week 14 ACL injury and thus may be able to start the 2023 campaign on time. The first-round addition of OT Paris Johnson Jr. upgrades the Cardinals pass blocking.
