🏈 Fantasy QBs by Category

Welcome Back to Drop Army Fantasy!

Not all QBs are created equal. Some win games. Others win leagues. Today, we break down the tiers that matter — and the fantasy implications that could define your season.

Today in 5 minutes or less, you’ll learn:

• The QBs of Fantasy Football by category 🔥 

• Access to to 2025 Fantasy Football Draft Kit 🏆 

• The latest news from around the NFL 🏈

👑 Best Overall: Lamar Jackson (BAL)

Lamar led all QBs in rushing yards per game... But he also posted a career-high 41 TDs and the BEST true passer rating in the league. Sure, he’s viewed as a difficult QB to stack. Your best bet with stacking is to grab Zay Flowers. It’s not super exciting. But, Lamar is still the best overall bet to finish as the first overall QB, just edging out Josh Allen. So, with his passing struggles in the rearview, he's STILL the cheat code.

📉 Overvalued: Patrick Mahomes (KC)

He's still elite, but he's slipped 10th and 11th in points per game the past two years. What’s more, his ADOT has been low since its peak in 2018 (when he had 5,097 yards and 50 TDs). For those of you keeping track, that’s 7 whole seasons ago. There’s some hope that Andy Reid may scheme up some big plays, but I’m not sure I trust the WR room. So, with an aging Kelce, why are we paying up for him at QB6 when there's value stacked behind him?

📈 Undervalued: J.J. McCarthy (MIN)

McCarthy takes over the Kevin O'Connell offense that made Sam Darnold a fantasy QB1. But they also added O-line help and still have elite weapons. There’s some risk here, but also massive upside. KOC’s offense always produces QB1s, and having Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson to throw to gives you a shot at least. So, don't sleep. McCarthy's ready for a breakout.

🚫 Do Not Draft: Jared Goff (DET)

Jared Goff had a great 2024 and still didn’t matter in ceiling formats. He’s never averaged 20+ fantasy points per game in any season since 2016. But it’s not just the rushing floor he lacks. His OC Ben Johnson — the architect of that efficiency — is gone. And now you’re asking Goff to maintain a 6.9% touchdown rate (3rd-best in the league) just to stay afloat. So even if the weapons stay loaded, the margin is razor-thin. One regression step and Goff becomes unstartable in fantasy. He’s a floor QB3 — fine in best ball stacks, but a trap for anyone chasing another outlier year.

🤕 Injury Risk: Tua Tagovailoa (MIA)

Despite having some of the most massive spike weeks in fantasy over the last two seasons, Tua just isn’t a priority. I’m not targeting him at a high level at all, and the intense concussions we’ve all seen by now don’t exactly inspire confidence. If you get Tyreek Hill at his discounted draft cost this season, it might be worth it to go for the stack. But, the variance is just too great to call Tua a viable draft pick.

🏆 League Winner: Justin Fields (NYJ)

Fields has routinely cracked the Top-10 in points per game and has a Top-5 rushing upside. He’s being drafted AFTER players like Baker Mayfield, Caleb Williams and Brock Purdy. But now he pairs with Lions pass-game guru Tanner Engstrand in New York. So Fields is the upside swing you take outside of the Top-12.
