Another fantasy season is in the books, and once again, the quarterback position delivered chaos, heartbreak, and a few absolute legends. From late‑round steals to waiver‑wire miracles, from weekly juggernauts to soul‑crushing busts, the 2025 QB landscape gave us everything. Now it’s time to look back, hand out some hardware, and celebrate the passers who carried our teams and call out the ones who torpedoed them.
These awards aren’t about real‑life accolades: they’re about who actually won you matchups, who dragged you to the playoffs, and who made you question every decision you’ve ever made on a Sunday afternoon.
Fantasy QB MVP
Winner: Josh Allen
Why:
- An elite rushing floor every single week (only early round QB that paid off in ADP).
- Monster touchdown upside through the air and on the ground (39 total touchdowns).
- Rarely has a “down” game, making him the safest high‑end QB in fantasy (had just one game under double digits).
- The definition of a weekly advantage at the position (averaged 1 more point per game than all other QBs at 22 and had 15 more fantasy points than the 2nd-ranked QB).
Honorable Mention: Patrick Mahomes
Breakout Quarterback of the Year
Winner: Trevor Lawrence
Why:
- Took a massive leap in efficiency and confidence as the 4th-best fantasy QB compared to the previous season (27th).
- Became a legitimate every‑week starter after beginning the year as a fringe QB2.
- Showed top‑5 upside down the stretch.
Honorable Mention: Caleb Williams
League‑Winner of the Year
Winner: Matthew Stafford
Why:
- Went nuclear in the middle of the season when fantasy managers needed it most.
- Multiple 300‑yard, multi‑TD explosions that swung matchups.
- Outperformed his draft cost by a mile.
- If you drafted him late, you probably made the playoffs.
Honorable Mention: Brock Purdy
Bust of the Year
Winner: Jayden Daniels
Why:
- Drafted as a top‑5 QB but never delivered consistent production.
- Early‑season struggles followed by injury derailed fantasy teams.
- Never provided the elite ceiling managers paid for with just 2 games with over 20 points.
Honorable Mention: Lamar Jackson
Waiver Wire Hero
Winner: Jacoby Brissett
Why:
- He immediately became fantasy‑usable once he started with no performances under single-digits when he started after Week 5 and 6 games over 20 fantasy points.
- Delivered shockingly efficient performances.
- Saved managers in superflex and even single‑QB leagues during the playoff push.
Honorable Mention: Daniel Jones
Most Consistent Quarterback
Winner: Drake Maye
Why:
- Rarely had a disastrous game, with 10 games over 20 fantasy points.
- Always hovered around 250+ yards with TD upside.
- Not flashy, but rock‑solid, the perfect “set it and forget it” QB2 or low‑end QB1.
Honorable Mention: Jaxson Dart
Most Frustrating Quarterback
Winner: Justin Fields
Why:
- Could drop 30 points or 8 points with no warning.
- Inconsistent passing, unpredictable rushing usage.
- Managers never knew which version they were getting, and it only lasted 11 weeks.
- The ultimate boom‑bust roller coaster.
Honorable Mention: Baker Mayfield
