Dynasty Quarterback Analysis for Fantasy Football

Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders

The easiest way to become the dynasty QB1 -- or to become the top dynasty player at any position -- is to be young and good. Jayden Daniels is both of those things. He's the most likely player to surpass Josh Allen at some point.

Assuming 2024 wasn't an anomaly and Daniels is as good as he looked, he'll be the dynasty QB1 soon, potentially as early as the 2026 offseason. As a rookie, Daniels completed 69.0 percent of his pass attempts for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns. He was picked off nine times. On the ground, Daniels added 891 yards and six scores.

Daniels looked like an elite dual-threat quarterback. His path to being the dynasty QB1 is simply to play another season and still look like an elite dual-threat quarterback once it's over. He'll only be 25 years old in 2026. Allen, meanwhile, will be 30 years old. That seems like a good time for the rankings swap to occur.

Drake May, New England Patriots

No rookie quarterback felt hotter flames than Maye. He became the starter in Week 6, and from that point on, he had more quick pressures (under 2.5 seconds) than any passer except Joe Burrow, who had 124 more dropbacks than Maye. His receivers were also among the league's worst; as a result, Maye was forced into throwing 73.4% of his passes within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage.

However, Maye still showcased his incredible talent despite those obstacles. Maye's athleticism was as good as advertised, but his composure and reading of the field were better than expected. And his supporting cast looks a whole lot better going into 2025: a retooled offensive line and a ton of new weapons will prop Maye up rather than dragging him down.

Veteran receivers Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins will help significantly on third downs and in the red zone. And two rookies, running back TreVeyon Henderson and receiver Kyle Williams, will add some much-needed explosiveness to the Patriots' offense. Also joining New England is veteran offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who can certainly teach Maye a thing or two after his time spent coaching Tom Brady.

The arrow is pointed straight up for Maye in 2025. He may not play like a superstar right away, but the Patriots have made all the right moves to give him long-term success. Expect Maye to emerge as one of the league's best young quarterbacks and finish as a QB1 in fantasy football for the first time.

Michael Penix Jr., Atlanta Falcons

Penix started just three games in 2024 and was a mixed bag to say the least. The left-handed rookie threw for 775 yards, three TDs, and three INTs in relief of struggling veteran Kirk Cousins.

While those numbers might seem poor, there's more to look at beneath the surface. While he wasn't a complete passer in 2024, Penix displayed an incredibly live arm and great instincts, far more so than the stats would lead you to believe. Two of Penix's three interceptions last season were due to drops by his receivers and were entirely not his fault.

The Falcons also sport a ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball to aid Penix's growth. Drake London has emerged as one of the league's best wide receivers, and Darnell Mooney is a solid Robin to London's Batman. And unlike any of the quarterbacks on this list, Penix will share the backfield with a superstar running back in Bijan Robinson.

Head coach Zac Robinson comes from the same coaching tree as O'Connell and will also encourage his quarterback to air it out early and often, just as O'Connell will with McCarthy in Minnesota. But unlike McCarthy, Penix played in a spread offense at Washington that emphasized downfield passing. Robinson will likely work some of those concepts into the Falcons' offense in 2025 to help Penix get going.

It's hard to ignore both the talent and the situation. Get Penix while you can, because he's going to impress early and often in 2025 and beyond.

Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield is the perfect quarterback for those looking to compete in 2025 and beyond. Arguably the most underrated quarterback on the market, having posted consecutive top 10 fantasy finishes in 2023 and 2024, yet for one reason or another finds himself coming off the board as the QB14 according to Dynaty Data Labs' ADP Startup tool.

Since arriving in Tampa, only Jared Goff (9,204) has more passing yards than Mayfield has accumulated. Meanwhile, Mayfield's 69 touchdown passes have led the NFL over the same period. Last season, Mayfield's 7.2% touchdown rate was the seventh-highest recorded since the 2015 season. It's criminal how little love Mayfield is getting in these fantasy streets.

Consistency is key, and only Lamar Jackson (16) had more weekly top 12 finishes in 2024 than Mayfield's 13, including closing out the season with six such performances over the final seven contests.

Mayfield may not be a sexy name, but he has some of the best weapons. Mike Evans is seeking his 12th consecutive 1,000-yard season, Chris Godwin is returning after missing 10 games last season, Bucky Irving looks to continue to build on his successful rookie season, and Jalen McMillan proved to be a viable option down in the red zone.

If getting the band back together weren't enough, Mayfield will also be able to utilize one of the best receivers to ever come out of Ohio State, rookie Emeka Egbuka.
