The quarterback landscape in Dynasty Fantasy Football has never been more crucial than in today's Superflex-driven world. Dave Kluge and I broke down our latest Dynasty QB rankings by tiers, diving into who you should trade for, who you can trade away, and where the value gaps are.

These are the 34 quarterbacks that can swing your league. Let's get into it.

Tier 1 - Elite Cornerstones

[0:43]

• QB1 Josh Allen
• QB2 Jayden Daniels 
• QB3 Lamar Jackson

"Jayden Daniels almost feels untouchable in dynasty leagues."
"Jackson…is younger than Josh Allen, he's got all the same rushing upside as Jayden Daniels."
"If I've got one of those guys and I could trade back for Jayden Daniels, I'm more than happy to do that too."

Key Takeaways:

• Daniels' youth and rushing upside give him a strong case as QB1.
• Jackson is seen as the most undervalued of this tier.
• Daniels' sophomore season and Kingsbury's offense bring slight risk but massive upside.

Trade Strategy:
If you can trade Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson for Jayden Daniels and a small piece, do it. Lamar is your best value buy among the elite.

Tier 2 - Franchise QBs with Ceiling and Floor

[9:09]

• QB4 Joe Burrow
• QB5 Jalen Hurts
• QB6 Patrick Mahomes II

"This is the tier I'm okay completely skipping over."
"Patrick Mahomes II without Tyreek and Kelce in their primes? We've seen QB8, QB12…"
"Jalen Hurts is touchdown dependent…shave five touchdowns off and he's the QB10."

Key Takeaways:

• This tier offers name-brand value but lacks youth and consistent rushing.
• Hurts is viewed as volatile but with a high floor due to rushing TDs.
• Mahomes' fantasy ceiling appears capped in recent years.

Trade Strategy:
If you're holding Hurts, Mahomes, or Burrow, consider trading down for youth plus picks, especially for Caleb Williams or Drake Maye plus a 2nd.

Tier 3 - Youth and Upside

[16:08]

• QB7 Caleb Williams
• QB8 Justin Herbert
• QB9 Drake Maye
• QB10 C.J. Stroud
• QB11 Brock Purdy
• QB12 Bo Nix

"I'm okay making trades for Brock Purdy and Bo Nix."
"Caleb Williams is a better prospect than Bo Nix, and he's younger."
"Stroud doesn't want to run…that caps his upside."

Key Takeaways:

• Williams and Maye are nearly impossible to acquire.
• Purdy and Nix are prime buy targets due to low market trust.
• Stroud has real-life value but a limited fantasy ceiling without rushing.

Trade Strategy:
Target Bo Nix, Purdy, or even Drake Maye in trades. Avoid overpaying for Herbert or Stroud.

Tier 4 - Value Arbitrage and Breakout Watch

[24:33]

• QB13 Kyler Murray
• QB14 Trevor Lawrence
• QB15 Cam Ward
• QB16 J.J. McCarthy
• QB17 Jordan Love
• QB18 Michael Penix Jr..

"Kyler's still giving you a better floor than Mahomes…and he's younger."
"Cam Ward is the market inefficiency right now."

Key Takeaways:

• Kyler Murray is criminally undervalued.
• Cam Ward is a sneaky buy as the #1 overall pick with rushing upside.

Trade Strategy:
Invest in Murray, Ward, and McCarthy. All have longer-term upside that's being overlooked.

Tier 5 - Low-Cost Starters and Hail Mary Upside

[36:47]

• QB19 Baker Mayfield
• QB20 Dak Prescott
• QB21 Bryce Young
• QB22 Justin Fields
• QB23 Jared Goff
• QB24 Tua Tagovailoa
• QB25 Sam Darnold
• QB26 Jaxson Dart 

"This is where all the upside is."
"Bryce Young might be Top-12 QB in dynasty next year."
"Fields could finish as a top-10 QB and spike in value."

Key Takeaways:

• This is the buying tier for contenders and rebuilders.
• Fields is high-risk/high-reward, and Bryce Young could pop.
• Darnold and Dart are dirt-cheap options in Superflex leagues.

Trade Strategy:
Buy Young and Fields now if you're betting on upside. Use Mayfield, Goff, or Dak to shore up QB2 spots for contenders.

Tier 6 - Stashes and Veterans at the End

[45:07]

• QB27 Jalen Milroe
• QB28 Tyler Shough
• QB29 Anthony Richardson
• QB30 Geno Smith
• QB31 Matthew Stafford
• QB32 Daniel Jones
• QB33 Aaron Rodgers
• QB34 Russell Wilson

"This is the arbitrage Justin Fields tier."
"Shough's probably going to start 17 games."

Key Takeaways:

• These are bench stashes and emergency QB3 options.
• Shough is a value, Richardson still has believers, and Milroe is worth a dart throw.
• Daniel Jones might start Week 1 and rush again.

Trade Strategy:
Add these players to your bench for free. You could stumble into a startable QB or trade chip.

Final Thoughts

Dynasty quarterback value can change dramatically with one good or bad season. While everyone is chasing the elite names, this year's sweet spot for trading seems to lie in Tier 3 and Tier 4—young talent with room to rise. Whether you're competing now or rebuilding, timing the trade market around these tiers could be the difference between middle of the pack and dynasty dominance.
