For the first time since 2019, Lamar Jackson finished as the overall QB1 in fantasy, averaging 25.46 ppg.
Since 2020, Josh Allen has never finished lower than QB2. In 2024, the Bills QB averaged 23.69 ppg.
In what will go down as the greatest performance of all time for a team that did not make the postseason, Joe Burrow averaged 22.49 ppg.
In one of the best rookie seasons of all time, Jayden Daniels averaged 21.98 ppg, finishing as the QB4.
It took him a little while to hit his stride, but Baker Mayfield has spent the past two seasons performing like a former No. 1 overall pick. In 2024, he averaged 21.51 ppg, the best season of his career.
A perennial elite QB1, Jalen Hurts wasn't quite as prolific in 2024. However, he still got to 21.01 ppg this season.
It's exceedingly difficult for pure pocket passers to post elite QB1 numbers. Jared Goff came close, though, averaging 19.7 ppg.
Easily the most unexpected performance of the 2024 season, journeyman Sam Darnold came into his own, averaging 18.77 ppg.
There should no longer be a question as to whether Brock Purdy is legit. He averaged 17.73 ppg, in another strong year from 2022's Mr. Irrelevant.
Two rookies in the top 10? Two rookies in the top 10! Bo Nix wasn't quite as good as Jayden Daniels, but his 17.73 ppg is nothing to scoff at.
Unquestionably the worst fantasy season of his career, Patrick Mahomes averaged 17.69 ppg. After five straight seasons inside the top six to start his career, Mahomes has now finished as barely a QB1 in two consecutive seasons.
It was just barely, but Kyler Murray kept his perfect QB1 streak alive. His 16.84 ppg earned him the final spot inside the top 12.
