The Shuffle Up series rolls along. Today we’ll hit the quarterbacks. We appreciate the unusual gap between fantasy quarterbacks and real-life ones; the quarterback is everything in the NFL, the search for the Holy Grail. But it’s usually not that hard to find a solid fantasy quarterback.
The salaries are unscientific and meant to illustrate where I see pockets of value. Everything to this point has been an audition, I’m now ranking and tiering them as if I were drafting from fresh right now. Remember the golden rule — no player gains or loses extra value because you choose to roster them.
The Big Tickets
$35 Lamar Jackson
$33 Jalen Hurts
$31 Josh Allen
$28 Jayden Daniels
$27 Joe Burrow
$25 *Jordan Love
Jackson’s accuracy has never been better, and although the Ravens definitely didn’t need help in the receiver room, the addition of Diontae Johnson does make a strong group stronger. Jackson’s also looking at career bests in several other areas — interception rate, YPA (a juicy 8.9), quarterback rating. It’s scary to think that he’s already won two MVPS and yet this could be his best season yet.
Hurts gets the nod over Allen because the Eagles are still calling Hurts’ number at the goal line (seven rushing touchdowns), while the Bills have pulled back from Allen in close (three rushing touchdowns). Allen is the better passer of the two, though Hurts probably has more help at the position, at least with his top two receivers.
Love is obviously dinged up at the moment and the interception rate is worrisome. However, he’s working with a ridiculous collection of receiving talent and his touchdown rate has spiked up to 7.5%, the best in the league. Some might look at that number and scream “Regression!” but given the supporting cast and the genius of Matt LaFleur, I’m going to bet on Love keeping most of that rate.
