Josh Allen<\/p>\n<p>2. Patrick Mahomes<\/p>\n<p>3. Lamar Jackson<\/p>\n<p>4. C.J. Stroud<\/p>\n<p>5.

He&#8217;s a dual threat quarterback who loves to run the ball in for touchdowns as much as he likes to throw them. It&#8217;s hard to not have Patrick Mahomes right behind as arguably the most talented quarterback in the league.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Patrick Mahomes took that NFL players can\u2019t play in the NBA debate seriously and brought the basketball court to the football field with this BEHIND THE BACK BEAUTY. Don\u2019t compare any QBs to him, he is in A WORLD OF HIS OWN. <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rbod8t4Fov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/rbod8t4Fov<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RGIII\/status\/1824913837654454474?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 17, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Jalen Hurts is a player that some consider to be the best option behind Allen, but his fantasy numbers have declined each of the last two seasons. With Saquon Barkley there to potentially take away even more points from rushing touchdowns, Hurts is a little lower but still among the best of the best.<\/p>\n<h3>Quarterbacks 6-10<\/h3>\n<p>6. Anthony Richardson<\/p>\n<p>7. Joe Burrow<\/p>\n<p>8. Jordan Love<\/p>\n<p>9. Dak Prescott<\/p>\n<p>10. Jayden Daniels<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/07\/12\/2024-fantasy-football-profile-anthony-richardson\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Anthony Richardson<\/a> certainly made a case to be in the 1-5 range, but he only played in four games last year. Not having much experience drops him into the second tier just ahead of Joe Burrow and Jordan Love. Burrow also has some of those same injury concerns as Richardson.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/08\/11\/2024-fantasy-football-profile-jayden-daniels\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jayden Daniels<\/a> is a quarterback who can be very underrated in 2024 which is why he sneaks into the Top 10. Daniels is another dual-threat quarterback who has a very strong arm. He&#8217;s impressed Dan Quinn and the Commanders coaching staff this entire preseason, and he should have a great rookie campaign.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The ball placement &amp; accuracy of Jayden Daniels has pretty much been borderline flawless so far this preseason <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PiiQA3C9f9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/PiiQA3C9f9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Football Digest (@FoootballDigest) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoootballDigest\/status\/1825277758777217034?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 18, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;180848&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Quarterbacks 11-15<\/h3>\n<p>11. Brock Purdy<\/p>\n<p>12. Kyler Murray<\/p>\n<p>13. Caleb Williams<\/p>\n<p>14. Aaron Rodgers<\/p>\n<p>15. Kirk Cousins<\/p>\n<p>Kyler Murray behind Brock Purdy may come as a bit of a surprise, but you should be able to put the puzzle pieces together. While Purdy has only played one season, he doesn&#8217;t have the injury issues like Murray does. Having a steady quarterback who won&#8217;t miss much time is crucial for fantasy football.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/08\/18\/2024-fantasy-football-profile-caleb-williams\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Caleb Williams<\/a> comes in just ahead Aaron Rodgers as his upside is just too much to ignore. Williams has an extremely underrated wide receiver room this year, and the Bears finally look like they can take a step forward this fall. It wouldn&#8217;t be surprising to see Williams make a push for the second tier.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This angle of Caleb Williams\u2019 DIME to Rome Odunze \ud83e\udd2f<br \/> <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eyN0J8Zi5e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/eyN0J8Zi5e<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PFF (@PFF) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFF\/status\/1824874168837656908?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 17, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Quarterbacks 16-20<\/h3>\n<p>16.

Baker Mayfield<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/06\/21\/jared-goff-dynasty-outlook\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jared Goff<\/a> has consistently one of the better quarterbacks in fantasy football over the last few years. It allows him to sneak into the upper half ahead of Justin Herbert or Trevor Lawrence. Goff&#8217;s connection with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta puts him on track to have another season of 30+ touchdowns and 4,000+ passing yards.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This Jared Goff to Jameson Williams connection will be a PROBLEM this season \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n<p> <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OnePride?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#OnePride<\/a>  <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8EZwP1hUfD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/8EZwP1hUfD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Crunch Time Sports (@officialctpod) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/officialctpod\/status\/1825294854353485868?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 18, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Despite his struggles in the second half of last season, Tua Tagovailoa gets the benefit of the doubt and sneaks into the list. He&#8217;s getting the benefit of the doubt here given what he&#8217;s done in the past and how he started last season as one of the best for fantasy.
