In May 2020, we delivered the RotoHeat 2020 Redraft Rankings Series, bringing you a look at the top 12 rankings for each position. As we enter August and Redraft season we have updated our rankings. We kick off the updated series with the 2020 Redraft Quarterback Rankings.

In Redraft Leagues, your team roster starts fresh each season. The RotoHeat 2020 Redraft Rankings Series takes a deep dive into those players that we feel are at the top of their positions entering 2020. Engage with passionate fantasy football managers, and let the RotoHeat content team know what topics YOU want to hear about by visiting our RotoHeat Redraft Fantasy Football Facebook page.

Of all the positions to rank, Quarterback remains the most difficult. I currently have 28 Quarterbacks ranked that I would be comfortable entering the season with as my QB1. If given enough time, I can make a compelling argument for 23 of them to have top 12 potential in 2020.

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 deeper.

16. Jared Goff (Previous Rank – 19th)

When I first sat down and ranked my Quarterbacks in Redraft for the 2020 season, Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff came in at QB19. In this updated version, he moves up three spots to QB16. If the Rams’ run game stays on the skids and forces Jared Goff to keep chucking, he’ll go down as one of Fantasy’s best values. Goff led the NFL with 626 pass attempts in 2019 but was 24 Fantasy points shy of a top-12 finish, mainly because of four really bad games against really talented defenses (49ers, Bears, Steelers, Ravens). 

His play improved by the end of the year, averaging 43.2 attempts and 328.6 yards per game with multiple touchdowns in each. If you find yourself needing a Quarterback late on Draft Day, Goff is a name to target ahead of riskier picks like Ryan Tannehill, Philip Rivers, and Baker Mayfield.

15. Aaron Rodgers (Previous Rank – 7th)

Aaron Rodgers is the biggest faller in my updated rankings, falling all the way down to 15 from 7th. Rodgers had a down season in 2019 in terms of the standards he has set for himself. He finished last season with 4,002 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions. Those numbers were good enough for a QB10 season.

Entering 2020, Aaron Rodgers will be motivated to prove that he is still an elite QB despite his organization’s decision to draft his replacement instead of needed reinforcements to the offense. My concern is that Rodgers doesn’t get the chance. The Packers are clearly a team that is going to focus on on the running game and Rodgers lacks the weapons to excel as a top 12 QB in 2020. As a result, I have Aaron Rodgers way lower than I ever imagined I would in my updated 2020 Redra...
