Tiers are valuable because they group players together who are at a similar value. They allow fantasy owners to know when a big drop-off at a position is coming. These are our QB Tier rankings. These are the two established superstars, who we have seen do it year after year.
Even coming off an injury-plagued season,The second tier is full of guys who we expect to be great and also have QB1 overall upside. Maye and Daniels just haven't shown they can do it consistently, and Burrow has durability concerns. New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is shown after Big Blue beat the Dallas Cowboys | Kevin R. Wexler-NorthJersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images All of these guys are fine fantasy options.
If you come away with one of them later in your drafts, you'll be happy to have them and should have a strong weekly starter all season. All of these guys have tier 3 or even tier 2 potential, but also come with inherent risk.
Stafford is old, Murray is looking to rebound after being cut by the Cardinals, Mahomes and Nix are both coming off serious injuries, and Willis is arguably the biggest boom-or-bust quarterback in fantasy football this season. This tier is similar to tier 4, just with a bit less upside. All of these guys will have their ups and downs, and are prime options in Superflex leagues.

The only one of these players with true breakout potential is Cam Ward, although he also has massive bust potential; nevertheless, these guys are streaming options. These are guys you are better off just avoiding.
If Mendoza is named the Week 1 starter, he would be bumped up a tier. As it stands today, we aren't drafting Mendoza to sit on our bench until further notice. All of these quarterbacks could be Week 1 starters, but they could very well lose the job in training camp as well. The only exception is Carson Beck, who will likely see the field later in the season.
We aren't drafting any of these players until we have a better idea about who the starters might be. Mark Morales-Smith is a father of five, a former college football scout and semi-pro football player. Morales-Smith is a long-time competitive fantasy football player with well over a decade of professional writing experience at multiple high-level sites, including Sports Illustrated, FullTime Fantasy, FantasySP, and more.
