Pos. Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kyler Murray | QB | ARI | 28 | 6 | QB - #11 |
| After missing half of the 2023 season with a knee injury, Kyler Murray rebounded nicely in 2024. He finished 10th in fantasy scoring and showed no ill effects of the injury, rushing for 572 yards (4th among QBs) and running in five scores on his own. Additionally, Murray made strides as a passer in his second season in Drew Petzing's offense. Murray completed 68.8... Read More | |||||
| Justin Herbert | QB | LAC | 27 | 5 | QB - #12 |
| On the surface, Justin Herbert had a modest showing in 2024, but Herbert gutted through several injuries and guided the Chargers to an improbable Wild Card appearance. Despite playing in Greg Roman's run-first scheme that ranked 28th in pace of play, Herbert ranked 15th in fantasy points per game.

Injuries played a part, both to Purdy and his supporting cast, but opposing defenses also figured him out. Purdy ranked 2nd versus zone coverage but 32nd against man- a trend t... Read More | |||||
| Patrick Mahomes | QB | KC | 30 | 8 | QB - #8 |
| One down season is a coincidence, but Patrick Mahomes has now had two rather disappointing campaigns. Granted, he set the bar incredibly high, but we're starting to wonder if this is who Mahomes is now. His yardage, touchdowns, adjusted completion rate, and yards per attempt have all declined in three consecutive years. Despite an improved supporting cast, Mahomes... Read More | |||||
| Baker Mayfield | QB | TB | 30 | 7 | QB - #9 |
| Baker Mayfield's 2024 season marked a career resurgence, as he led the NFC with 41 passing touchdowns and ranked third in the NFL with 4,500 passing yards. His 71.4 percent completion rate and 7.9 yards per attempt showcased his efficiency, and he tied Lamar Jackson for 2nd in TD strikes (41).
