Can you feel that little nip in the air? The NFL season starts in less than two weeks! Or “szn,” as kids today like to say. Where did the summer go?
We’re in the thick of draft season for redraft fantasy football. Tons of drafts for home, office, and family leagues are happening in the next dozen or so days, so I’m sharing my final rankings and tiers at each position. I’ll start today with the most important position in all of sports, quarterback. I’ll keep these pieces brief and won’t repeat my commentary. You can find my July quarterback rankings, tiers, and player commentary here: QBs. At each position, I’ll provide my final rankings and tiers and inform you of major changes.
Here’s where you can find all of my preseason draft prep content, including sleepers, players to avoid and target at ADP, draft tips, a Giants fantasy preview, and more: Fantasy Football Hub.
My quarterback rankings have undergone minor tweaks in the last month, but nothing too substantial. Mainly, I’ve added a one-man tier after the Top-4. Joe Burrow is a one of one, and if the preseason is any indication, the Bengals’ “defense” will again be a major factor in propping up Joe Burrow’s production as a passer. I’ve moved Dak Prescott up a tier (and several spots), and Jordan Love got a tier bump as well. Drake Maye continues to inch up my rankings, while Caleb Williams has fallen slightly. But again, these rankings aren’t far from what I published in July.
I’ve organized the quarterbacks into tiers, as I do at every position. You should do the same. In a nutshell, everyone wants the best players, and a tiered approach allows fantasy managers to have a great view of (a) ranges of players who can be expected to have similar fantasy production, (b) where the drop-offs are between those ranges, and (c) how many players in a range remain available at any given time. Tiers really help when position runs come, and they facilitate more effective drafting, regardless of whether you use a snake or auction format.
My rankings assume four points per passing TD. Some leagues award six, which favors certain quarterbacks over others.
