2QB Fantasy Football Rankings

The focus of this article will be the 2022 fantasy football QB rankings for 2QB leagues. Fantasy managers have identified that typical 1QB leagues have not properly valued the position as high as they are in the real NFL game. To counteract this, more and more leagues are requiring two starting quarterbacks in their fantasy lineup. Here we'll be looking at and evaluating our 2QB league player rankings. This format makes sure fantasy manager quarterbacks are valuing quarterbacks in a way that more closely resembles how NFL teams value the position.

What is a 2QB League?

A 2QB league is very similar to that of a 1QB league, the only difference is it includes an extra starting spot for a second quarterback. This requires you to take a different approach to the position because waiting on a quarterback until the double-digit rounds may result in your starting lineup including passers such as Matt Ryan and Zach Wilson while other teams may have Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford, which could put you at a significant disadvantage. Quarterbacks are generally the highest-scoring fantasy football players and the addition of a second starting lineup increases the position's overall worth.

Who is the best QB right now?

The consensus rankings would agree that right now the best quarterback in the world of fantasy football is Josh Allen. He brings an elite mixture of both passing stats and rushing stats. He's capable of putting up high-scoring games with his arms and with his legs. That dual-threat gives him an incredibly safe weekly floor, but it also presents a week-winning ceiling. He's been the back-to-back No. 1 quarterback and there's no reason fantasy managers are not treating him as their top passer in this year's quarterback rankings.

What are the most fantasy points earned by a QB?

In 2019, Lamar Jackson, using 4-point passing touchdowns scored 421.7 points by becoming the first quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. He also had 3,127 passing yards and 36 passing touchdowns. Prior to Jackson, Peyton Manning was the best fantasy quarterback from his 2013 season with the Denver Broncos. He had 5,477 yards and 55 touchdowns en route to 410 total points.

Other notable quarterback performances include Patrick Mahomes (2018, 417.1 points), Tom Brady (2007, 390), Aaron Rodgers (2011, 397.4), and Drew Brees (2011, 394).

What is Dynasty Superflex?

Dynasty leagues are a different format where fantasy managers carry over their entire team from year to year, much like an NFL squad. There are no contracts, however. If you roster Josh Allen, he can be on your team from now until he retires if you prefer. Dynasty leagues often require large roster sizes and encourage fantasy managers to not until build for the current season, but also for the future, as well.

Dynasty Superflex leagues are like any dynasty league except that it includes an extra starting for a second quarterback in fantasy managers choose to use it. With this option, you should expect most, if not all, teams to start two quarterbacks on a regular basis. Teams will often roster more than three quarterbacks, which is typically unheard of in a typical redraft league. It's not uncommon to roster backup quarterbacks such as Jordan Love or Desmond Ridder who may just need time before they become the regular starter.

Do other positions affect quarterback production?

There's no question that other positions affect the quarterback position, but not as much as the quarterback position affects other positions. The quarterback is the engine that makes everything go. Without a great quarterback, a team's ceiling is significantly capped. However, a team that may have average weapons or even below-average weapons can overcome that disadvantage through excellent quarterback play. This will most likely be the case for the 2022 Green Bay Packers.

While the weapons in Cincinnati certainly help Joe Burrow out, he still needs to do his job in getting them the ball. While most fantasy managers will assume the most important position to a quarterback's success are his receivers, the offensive line should not be taken for granted. Without ample protection, quarterbacks may be forced to check the ball down off regularly, which limits their overall upside.

One position that often gets overlooked is the quarterback's coaching staff. A new coaching staff may incorporate an updated offense, such as the case with Kirk Cousins this offseason. His last coach, Mike Zimmer, ran an outdated and slow offense built around the running back, but now with Kevin O'Connell at the helm, the most recent news is that the offense will be much more modern with an emphasis on the passing game. An improved receiving group or an upgraded coaching staff can often lead to a rise in ADP. Fantasy managers are seeing that with Derek Carr this offseason with the acquisition of his college teammate, Davante Adams.
