Demian’s Top 5 Quarterbacks for Fantasy Football Redraft

The 2025 fantasy season is coming, and the difference between a good team and a great team is always who you have in the quarterback slot, like in real life. Fantasy owners were happy with most of the top quarterbacks that will be discussed below, like Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson. But there were some surprise fallers and risers from 2024, as the sophomore slump may not be an issue for Jayden Daniels, and C.J. Stroud could have a bounce-back third season. So who are the greatest QBs for the 2025 season? Read and find out.

Mr. Reliable at No.5, Jalen Hurts

At No.5, we have the always-reliable quarterback for fantasy, Jalen Hurts. Coming off an SB victory, the Eagles and Hurts will be riding high. He’s finally earned the elite tag he’s deserved for a while.

He’ll be looking to prove his new supporters right and put in the work to keep up his great form. In 2024, he averaged 21.0 points for the whole season, helping him to be the 8th best quarterback for the 2024 season. Assuming his confidence pushes him to become better, which is based on his trajectory and the Eagles’ stability, safe to assume he’ll beat that mark in 2025. His backup is even a great pickup for 2025! 

No.4 is the Young but Proven Jayden Daniels

2024 was coming out party for the LSU rookie, leading the Commanders to the NFC championship game. Showing a broken fanbase that the Dan Snyder era is totally over and that good times are all that’s ahead! The Commander of the Commanders had a historic rookie year getting up to speed with the offense and getting to know the team. Now that he’s settled into the locker room and the offense, the sky’s the limit for the Commanders and Daniels. He is sure to massively improve from the 364.8 total points he earned last year and become the superstar he’s worked hard to become!

No.3 is another Young QB phenom, C. J. Stroud

The young Texans’ quarterback took a step back last year, which might turn some people off to him this year. But Houston is prioritizing overhauling their o-line, as they brought in five new o-linemen to fix their offense’s biggest problem last season. That should elevate the pressure off of Stroud’s shoulders and allow him to blossom into his best. After an amazing rookie year that saw him wow the NFL world, he’s sure to massively improve on his measly 232.4 points from last season.

Our No.2 is a Classic Pick, Lamar Jackson

Y’all saw him coming, and that’s for a great reason! With a valuable tight end like Mark Andrews, he could still throw, too, as well as his great arm and incredible legs. He is able to carry him on both sides of the offense and be a total leader for the Ravens at quarterback. It led him to being the highest scoring QB last season, having a total of 434.4 points last season, averaging 25.6 per game. With nothing looking like it’ll slow him down.

No.1 is the defending NFL MVP, Josh Allen

Buffalo’s signal caller had a more low-key season last year, but his efficiency and the Bills’ excellent regular season led him to an MVP season. With the ground game failing the Bills in the playoffs, no doubt the Bills will lean more on their MVP quarterback, and he’ll have better numbers in 2025. Allen’s receiving core should even improve next season, only making sure he’ll have a better 2025 fantasy season!

Thanks a bunch for reading this article. Best of luck for the upcoming 2025 fantasy football season for redraft!
