RotoBaller's updated quarterback (QB) fantasy football rankings for 2024 drafts. Identify the top QB sleepers with our tiered fantasy football QB rankings.

What a glorious time of year! Welcome back RotoBallers to our team's updated QB fantasy football rankings for 2024 drafts. Fantasy managers used to wait until the later rounds when selecting a quarterback, but the position has been bumped up recently with managers playing in 2QB or superflex formats.

The quarterback position is pretty deep this year, but the well can dry up quickly after the top 16 are off the draft board. So let's take a look at where quarterback such as Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence, Deshaun Watson, Will Levis, and more rank.

These quarterback fantasy football rankings are a consensus by NFL lead analysts Nick Mariano, Scott Engel, Andersen Pickard, and Brandon Murchinson. Before the rankings, you'll also see some recent fantasy football news and important NFL headlines for QBs, all of which are accounted for within these updated QB draft rankings. RotoBaller's QB fantasy football rankings are tweaked all preseason long, so bookmark the fantasy football rankings portal and check back regularly for updates.

Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars - Fantasy Football Outlook

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and is considered by many to be a "generational talent." After a brutal rookie year, Lawrence has been close to a middle-of-the-road QB for fantasy in 2022 and 2023, with 8,130 yards passing with 46 TDs and 22 INTs.

Lawrence lost his second-highest target from 2023 after WR Calvin Ridley signed with rival Tennessee, but Jacksonville drafted LSU WR Brian Thomas Jr. with pick No. 23 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. With RB Travis Etienne, WR Christian Kirk, newly-signed WR Gabe Davis, TE Evan Engram, and Thomas Jr, Lawrence has no shortage of weapons around him for 2024.

Since coming into the league, Lawrence has averaged 12.7, 17.9, and 17.6 fantasy points per game. He will need to eclipse that 20.0 PPG mark to be considered an elite QB for fantasy purposes in 1QB leagues, but he could still provide value in Superflex leagues based on where he's being drafted. Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis should give this offense a vertical, field-stretching element they haven't had in the past.

Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders - Fantasy Football Outlook

There have been mixed reviews on quarterback Jayden Daniels' 2024 outlook after going No. 2 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft to the Washington Commanders, but the rookie is primed to make waves right away. Kliff Kingsbury was brought in as the team's OC, and his offenses have typically been up-tempo and feature a strong RPO element.

Since 2014, there have been 6 QBs who started at least 16 games in their first two years in the NFL and rushed for 1,000+ yards in a college season. They averaged 20.1 fantasy points per game while finishing as a QB1 or better in 63.5% of the fantasy weeks they started.

After passing for 3,811 yards and rushing for 1,250 more while combining for 50 total TDs during his final college season in Baton Rouge, it's hard not to feel optimistic about Daniels' fantasy value even as a rookie due to his solid rushing floor. He should be best viewed as a low-end QB1 with upside for 2024.

Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears - Fantasy Football Outlook

Caleb Williams was selected first overall by the Chicago Bears in the 2024 NFL Draft to lead the offense for years to come following the trade of Justin Fields to Pittsburgh. The Bears' new franchise QB steps into an upgraded offense, with Keenan Allen and D'Andre Swift joining DJ Moore and Cole Kmet.

Chicago also spent the ninth overall pick on Rome Odunze. Williams blossomed after following Lincoln Riley to USC as a sophomore, throwing for over 4,500 yards with 42 touchdowns. Lesser numbers as a junior were still bumped by highlight-reel plays that flashed his upside. The arm talent and ability to create from broken plays are real, with plus mobility able to extend the play.

His legs led to 27 total rushing TDs in three years of college ball. While the long-term upside is clear, rookies will have volatility baked into their fantasy projection. Therefore, it's difficult to place him into the top-12 QB list for redraft leagues, given 2024's player pool. He'll open as a bench stash/streamer in most 12-teamers that start one QB, while those in Dynasty/2QB/Superflex leagues will be more aggressive.
