The 2021-22 NFL regular season is over following the Los Angeles Rams taking down the Cincinnati Bengals in a thrilling Super Bowl matchup. But the football world never really stops. As we continue through the offseason, the debates don’t end either, which is causing us to dive into our NFL QB rankings where we rank the top-20 quarterbacks in the NFL. Show
Also Read: NFL Sunday Ticket – Pricing, How to Buy, and it’s Future Last season we didn’t see a rookie quarterback emerge who deservedly earned a spot in our top quarterback rankings, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make major strides this season. Will Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, or Mac Jones make their way into the top 20? It remains to be seen. Of course, there’s a few dual threats such as Justin Fields or Trey Lance who could also take the gridiron by storm, but the Chicago Bears haven’t given their QB much to work with. In recent times we’ve seen players like Josh Allen, Justin Herbert and Lamar Jackson blow past all expectations, who will be the superstar signal-caller who emerges during the 2022-23 season? There are several candidates, some of which you’ll find featured below. Updated weekly throughout the football year, here are our top-20 NFL QB rankings.

Baker Mayfield gets the fresh start he wanted. He struggled playing through a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder last season, impacting his effectiveness and accuracy. Between the durability woes, issues in pressure situations and some maturity problems, the Cleveland Browns were ready to move on. The Carolina Panthers take advantage. Mayfield isn’t a great quarterback, but he is one of the 20 best starting quarterbacks in the NFL. He boasted a 74.8% On-Target rate when healthy in 2020 and now joins an offense with Christian McCaffrey, D.J. Moore, Terrace Marshall Jr. and Rashard Higgins. This is the change of scenery Mayfield needed and he’s a significant upgrade for the Panthers over Sam Darnold. 19. Mac Jones, New England Patriots
The best rookie quarterback wasn’t the first, second, or even third one selected. Instead it was Mac Jones who slipped under the radar, then proceeded to be the QB who brought the Patriots back to the playoffs. Now he’ll look to continue what was a highly efficient campaign while finding a way to be more aggressive without throwing more interceptions. His new offensive coordinator/QB coach will have a major role in his development over the next few seasons, which could be disastrous considering Matt Patricia and Joe Judge are expected to take over. Just how high does Mac’s ceiling go?
In a perfect world, the Tennessee Titans would have at least tried to move on from Ryan Tannehill in search of an upgrade this offseason. Contractual ties prevented such a move, but he’s not in the top half of NFL starting quarterbacks, which means he may not have enough to carry the King Henry-led squad to the promised land. Maybe that’s why they were intrigued by Malik Willis. With that said, Tannehill is above-average and with a stronger, healthier supporting cast, the Titans can repeat as strong AFC contenders. There’s just no indication Treylon Burks and Robert Woods are better than A.J. Brown and Julio Jones. Related: If you’re a fan of the Titans, check out #Titans rumors, rankings, and news here.
As we approach training camp openings, Jimmy Garoppolo will become a popular name on the trade block. He’s likely achieved all that he can in San Fran and has Trey Lance breathing down his neck. Whoever gets Jimmy G will suddenly have a starting-caliber quarterback who can do just enough to help you reach the playoffs, but not enough to win the game if it all comes down to his individual performance. Still, that’s a massive upgrade in some NFL cities. 16. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles
If you’re ahead of the curve, making contingency plans to win your fantasy leagues next season, be sure to keep an eye on Jalen Hurts. One of the best dual-threat QBs in the league, Hurts offers a high floor, and an even higher ceiling as he continues to develop and build chemistry with his receivers. While he may not be the best from a passing standpoint, he might be able to approach 1,000 yards on the ground next year and rise even further in many NFL QB rankings aside from fantasy football. 15. Matt Ryan, Indianapolis Colts
Matt Ryan didn’t find himself in a good situation with the Atlanta Falcons. Playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in football with a thin cast of weapons, he managed what production he could. Having just turned 37, Ryan doesn’t have the arm strength he used to have. However, he graded as PFF‘s second-highest passer on intermediate throws (10-19 yards) and posted the 10th-highest QB rating (110.0) on play action. Ryan will be the best Colts starting quarterback in years, serving as the ultimate game-manager who will do everything Frank Reich asks. Check out our latest fantasy football rankings 14. Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings
Opinions on Kirk Cousins are all over the place, but if you ask his new head coach and general manager, they’re big fans of the QB. That’s all that matters going forward. Paired with one of the best wide receivers in football in Justin Jefferson, Cousins should be in for another 4200+ yard year, which he’s achieved in three of his four seasons in Minnesota. The only year he didn’t, the Vikings made the playoffs, but they’re expected to embrace the air attack under Kevin O’Connell.

We’re eager to see how Derek Carr adapts to the Josh McDaniels system. Both bright offensive minds, it should be a great fit. Now that Davante Adams has landed in Vegas, Carr could have his best season yet, which is no small feat. Can Carr drive the new-look Raiders back to the playoffs in a loaded AFC West?

Everyone wanted to pile on Kyler Murray this offseason, it’s not exactly justified. He’s steadily improving as he gains experience, and when his playmakers aren’t on the field as we saw in 2021, there’s more that falls on Murray’s shoulders. As one MVP once said, R-E-L-A-X when it comes to K1. He’s a franchise quarterback and the Cardinals have paid him as such. The only reason he falls outside of the top-10 in our NFL QB rankings is due to the quality of passers currently in the league. 11. Russell Wilson, Denver Broncos
We didn’t get to see Russell Wilson cook a year ago, but the nine-time Pro Bowl QB didn’t suddenly drop off after years of playing smart football. That’s what the Broncos are banking on with their blockbuster trade for the SB XLVIII winner. Finally in a new location where he’ll still have a loaded receiving corps, Russ should be back to his best self going forward, which places him just outside the top-10 among the NFL QB rankings with a chance to rise to the top-five quickly. NFL QB Rankings Top 1010. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
After leading the top-scoring offense in football last season, no one should be wondering whether Dak Prescott is among the very best quarterbacks in the NFL today. Prescott and Russ Wilson are both incredible stories in that they somehow slipped to the 4th and 3rd rounds in their respective drafts, but both have shown they’re franchise quarterbacks. The next step is getting past the Divisional Round in the playoffs for Prescott’s Cowboys. Related: NFL games today – 2022 NFL schedule 9. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
After 12 seasons toiling in Detroit in which they never won a playoff game, Matthew Stafford teamed up with Sean McVay in L.A. and immediately won a Super Bowl. There’s no reason to believe the Rams can’t run it back, thanks to the excellent all-around potency of Cooper Kupp. Another year in the system could help Stafford reduce his league-leading interception number from a year ago, but he’ll always be a gunslinger who takes chances. Hard to argue with the brand new shiny ring on his finger though. 8. Deshaun Watson, Cleveland Browns
Whether or how much he plays in 2022 remains to be seen, but if Deshaun Watson hits the gridiron again any time soon, he’s immediately a top-10 NFL QB. The last time we saw him take the field, Watson led the NFL in passing yards on a Texans squad bereft of talent. For now, the Cleveland Browns are ready to dive on the Watson grenade.

While Lamar Jackson largely had a down season impacted by injuries, there’s no one worried about his future success. Equally as much of a fantasy star as he is a dangerous game-breaker, expect Jackson to return to his 2019 MVP form, but when will he sign a contract extension? 6. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers
Few quarterbacks have raised their stock as much as Justin Herbert has ever since he entered the NFL as the sixth pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Now Herbert is widely regarded as one of the few young marquee names that many would select if they were starting an NFL franchise from scratch. For Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers, the sky is the limit over the next few seasons. Check out our NFL top 100 player rankings 5. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Some wondered (perhaps hoped is more appropriate) whether Aaron Rodgers would retire, following his second consecutive MVP trophy, but these thoughts were always asinine. Akin to Tom Brady walking away while he still has hundreds of throws left, Rodgers won’t hang up the cleats just yet. After agreeing to a new contract that keeps him in Green Bay, there’s no doubt AR12 has several more elite seasons left in his future, but he will have to do so without his ace receiver. Thanks to his rock-solid consistency, Rodgers still near the top of the NFL QB rankings.
4. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
No one expected, and I mean literally no one expected Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals to reach the Super Bowl for the first time in 33 years. It further exemplified just how much a premier quarterback can elevate the rest of his squad in a short amount of time. Few situations have had more eyeballs on them throughout this offseason, building a better offensive line while he’s still on a rookie contract could go a long way toward getting a Lombardi trophy. 3. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
Anyone who’s ever witnessed Mahomes understands why he’s a perennial MVP candidate. He’s fun to watch because he plays backyard football, yet his cannon arm leads to Madden-like video game performances. There are few players who can release the ball accurately from numerous arm angles on the run, whether he’s looking at his receiver or not. Simply put, Mahomes is spectacular from all aspects of the game. Check out our latest NFL defense rankings and how they impact fantasy QB’s 2. Tom Brady, Tampa Bay BuccaneersBrian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports
We can all thank the football gods for Tom Brady realizing he’s not quite ready to retire. There’s no reason for him to place his jersey in the rafters just yet. Brady’s coming off a season in which he led the NFL in attempts, completions, yards and touchdown throws. There’s no doubt he’ll remain one of the very best in his age-45 year, which is why he lands back near the top of our NFL QB rankings. How will Brady do in his first season in Tampa without Bruce Arians? Since the coach doesn’t throw footballs, Brady will be his same elite self. 1. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
There’s a reason why the Buffalo Bills have annually become a top pick to reach the Super Bowl, his name is Josh Allen. The league has never seen a quarterback who’s as naturally gifted as Allen is. Not only can he uncork a 60-yard airstrike, Allen causes headaches for defenses thanks to a willingness to put his body on the line to pick up more than just the first down. Because of his ability to do everything, from scrambling, to firing lasers, to being able to knock a dime off the top of a pylon, Allen ranks No. 1 in Sportsnaut’s NFL QB Rankings. |
