| Name | Pos | Team | Age | Yrs Exp. |
Pos. Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Joe Burrow | QB | CIN | 29 | 4 | Unranked |
| A pair of injuries bookended an erratic 2023 campaign for Joe Burrow. A July calf ailment resulted in a rusty start. Then, Burrow got healthy and averaged 21.4 fantasy points per contest during the team's 4-1 stretch through Week 10. Ultimately, a wrist injury ended Burrow's season in Week 11. He's expected to be fine for 2024 but that mid-season stretch of a heal... Read More | |||||
| Justin Herbert | QB | LAC | 28 | 4 | Unranked |
| While Justin Herbert remains one of the top young quarterbacks in the NFL, his fantasy prospects are less certain. With Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman running the offense, the 2024 Chargers will be far less reliant on the pass. In Herbert's first four years, the team ranked first in plays per game. Harbaugh and Roman's 49ers (2011-2014) ranked 31st in pace and no hig... Read More | |||||
| Trevor Lawrence | QB | JAX | 26 | 3 | Unranked |
| After a rough start, Trevor Lawrence had five weekly QB1 finishes in his final seven starts to post his second consecutive top-12 fantasy season. Although the passing numbers aren't overwhelming, Lawrence bolsters his value by averaging a healthy 19.3 rushing yards per game with 11 TD runs in three seasons. Lawrence's fourth season sees him at a crossroads. He has... Read More | |||||
Jordan Love  |
QB | GB | 27 | 4 | Unranked |
| It wasn't the traditional route but Jordan Love's first season as an NFL starter resulted in a sensational QB5 finish. Love was tremendous down the stretch, posting 27 scores in Green Bay's final 11 contests. The Packers scored a touchdown on 95% of their goal-to-go situations- a testament to Love's efficiency. With a deep and versatile group of pass catchers and ... Read More | |||||
| Kyler Murray | QB | MIN | 28 | 5 | Unranked |
| Even though he missed more than half of the season, Kyler Murray still posted QB1 numbers on a fantasy points-per-game basis. Less than a year removed from an ACL injury, Murray still averaged 30.5 rushing yards per game with four top-12 weekly finished in his eight starts. That rushing ability assured Murray had a high floor, with zero 'dud' finishes outside of t... Read More | |||||
| Dak Prescott |
QB | DAL | 32 | 8 | Unranked |
| Prescott rebounded from a down 2022 season to complete a career-best 69.5% of his attempts and led the NFL with 36 touchdown passes. The Cowboys led the NFL in points but another early playoff exit clouds the future. For now, Prescott to CeeDee Lamb is one of the hottest stacks going, with league-winning potential. Prescott doesn't run as much as he used to but ha... Read More | |||||
