2020 Redraft Quarterback Rankings
Hello Heat Seekers welcome to episode 82 of Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast. I hope that everyone is doing well. Thanks for being here.
I am in the process of switching the podcast from more of a dynasty focus to a redraft focus. You may or may not have noticed that my rotoheat.com content has taken the same turn.
The podcast has a name change and soon a new looking logo. Its now Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast. I remain an avid dynasty participant and I will always have my 2 cents regarding everything dynasty. As we navigate through the calendar each year the offseason of this podcast will be very dynasty focused for obvious reason. The rookie content will be there and as we near the start of the season, we will become more redraft focused especially during the season.
So with that out of the way, today I am going to roll thru my 2020 Redraft Quarterback Rankings.
Of all the positions to rank, quarterback remains the most difficult. If given enough time, I can make a compelling argument for 20-23 of the leagues starting quarterbacks to be top 12 fantasy options. Lamar Jackson led all quarterbacks in fantasy points per game with 28.11. Tom Brady finished as QB12 with 271.68 points or 16.98 per game. In 2019 there were 22 quarterbacks that averaged 15.97 points per game or better. The position has never been tighter.
Honorable Mentions
16. Ben Roethlisberger
When we last saw Ben Roethlisberger, he was walking off the field holding his right throwing arm midway through Week 2 versus the Seattle Seahawks. Big Ben underwent elbow surgery and was lost for the remainder of the season. In 2018, Big Ben finished as the QB3 averaging 21.3 points per game. Ben has different weapons than he did in 2018, most notably the absence of Antonio Brown. Juju Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson and James Washington make up the Steelers 3 WR sets, and newly signed TE Eric Ebron gives Ben a nice, big red zone target.
15. Daniel Jones
In 2019, Daniel Jones took a hold of the Giants starting QB role and finished the season at QB23 in 13 games played. His 17.46 points per game were 14th best among quarterbacks with 13 or more games played. Jones showed good and bad qualities in his rookie season. He threw for 336 yards and two touchdowns in the Giants come from behind victory over Tampa Bay in Week 3, and he also had a pair of 3 interception games versus New England and Green Bay. With the weapons Jones has in his offense, if he can improve his ball security from a year ago, (11 lost fumbles), and those weapons remain healthy, Jones will have a ceiling that may exceed this ranking in his sophomore season.
14. Baker Mayfield
The QB that was supposed to break out last year was Baker Mayfield. Not only did he not breakout, he regressed significantly. People that hate on Baker forget how bad of a coach Freddie Kitchens really was. The Browns have significantly upgraded their coaching staff, have a plethora of weapons on offense, and that was before they added Austin Hooper. Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry also got healthy. Baker will right the wrongs of 2019 in 2020
13. Matthew Stafford
Matthew Stafford had his 2019 season cut short due to a back injury. Stafford last appeared in Week 9, having played in eight games. At the time of his injury, he was QB6 with 171.56 fantasy points. Stafford was off to the best statistical start of his 11-year career and was on pace to finish the season wi...
