Dynasty Tiered Rankings and Analysis - Quarterback

In dynasty leagues, hitching your wagon to the right gunslinger is crucial.

Late-Round QBs That Could Be League Winners

A lot of people take a laissez-faire approach to quarterbacks in fantasy. They'll wait until some predetermined round where they want to get their first QB and then they'll just take whoever is left then. And, I mean, hey -- that's fine. You could win a league that way. But if you manage to make […]

NBC Sports Boston's Tom E. Curran predicts that New England Patriots quarterback Jarrett Stidham will perform well enough in training camp with second-team repetitions to make the final 53-man roster.

Ryan Griffin Must Beat Out Blaine Gabbert

Trevor Siemian Could Stick Around

New Orleans Saints quarterback Trevor Siemian could sneak his way onto the roster behind Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill this summer.

Nick Foles Is Expendable

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles is experienced and capable, but he is, after all, the No. 3 signal-caller behind Andy Dalton and rookie first-rounder Justin Fields, so he is expendable heading into the 2021 season.

Baker Mayfield Could Have More On His Plate In 2021

The Cleveland Browns may put more on quarterback Baker Mayfield's plate this year now that he's heading into the second straight season with the same head coach and play-callers for the first time in his career.
