Fantasy football 2025: Top 10 QB values

Copied!

When we last left our fantasy football heroes … well, there were too many things going on to reasonably recount in the intro to this column. Suffice to say, mistakes were made. Lessons were learned. We made friends along the way. A good time was had by all. Or by most. And that’s really all that’s important, right?

Wrong.

It’s about winning championships. That’s why you bought all those subscriptions. It’s why you did all those mock drafts. It’s why you set up a separate list on all those social media apps specifically to follow every national insider and beat writers from all 32 teams. And it’s why you’re digging into a fantasy football column in late July when teams have barely been in training camp long enough to go through a full news cycle.

Because we’re all trying to get a leg up on the rest of our competition. If you’re early to the news, you’re on time. If you’re on time for it, then you’re late. And if you’re late to the news, well, you might as well just autodraft your team.

(Don’t actually do that. Unless you want the rest of the people in your league to be salty with you.)

If you’ve been paying attention this entire offseason, you’ll scroll through this list and scoff at half of the names here. Either you already know what I’m telling you or you think I’m a moron for including them.

Regardless, thanks for clicking and scrolling. If you’re just tapping in, welcome. We’re glad to have you back this year.

As for what you’re doing here, the headline should have told you. In case you’re still not sure, I’ve put together a list of 10 quarterbacks who could outperform their fantasy Average Draft Position (ADP). Finding values isn’t a guarantee that you’ll win your league. But it’s always better than overpaying. Take it from someone whose family seems to prefer gourmet pizza over the dollar slice variety. Sigh.

Hopefully this serves you better than premium pepperoni. Good luck and welcome back!

NOTE: Average draft position is based on a 12-team format and FantasyPros consensus rankings as of 11 a.m. ET on July 30.

Am I really doing this? Yeah, I think I am. Forget all the attention-seeking, drawn out will he or won’t he hemming and hawing that we endured for months this offseason. There’s a case to be made that Rodgers still has something left in the tank. He threw for more than 250 yards and/or multiple touchdowns five times in the Jets’ final six games last season. It came long after the team was eliminated from playoff contention, so it felt a little hollow.

This year, Rodgers is another year removed from the Achilles injury that robbed him of the 2023 season. He’s also (probably) on his final stop with something to prove to the haters (of which there are many). How he coexists with DK Metcalf in an Arthur Smith offense remains to be seen, but it would be crazy to deny that the old guy can still conjure up a couple of weeks of fantasy magic here and there. We’ve long passed the point of Rodgers being a weekly QB1, but for anyone seeking a late-round dart throw or waiver wire lottery ticket, you could do worse.
