Top Players to Target or Avoid in PFSN’s 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football QB Rankings
J.J. McCarthy, QB, Minnesota Vikings (at NYG)
Can you imagine actually trusting "Nine" in the fantasy semi-finals? I can ... because I am. Such is my plight after losing Patrick Mahomes last week (not that Mahomes was anything to write home about anyway).
Ever since head coach Kevin O'Connell told J.J. McCarthy just to go out there and play, he's been a changed man. McCarthy has now posted back-to-back games of 20+ fantasy points since missing one game with a concussion. The volume hasn't quite been there, but as long as McCarthy is finding the end zone, it doesn't matter.
This week's game features two teams playing out a lost season. There's really no reason for either team to play conservatively, which could lead to some fun, fast-paced offense.
The Giants allow the fourth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. McCarthy has accounted for six touchdowns over his last two games. The odds that the Vikings continue scoring all their touchdowns through the air are low, but if McCarthy can get two, he would be worth putting in lineups.
Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers (at DAL)
It takes a lot of stones to put Justin Herbert in your Week 16 lineup. He hasn't even come close to posting a usable fantasy week since Week 9. Herbert's best performance over that span was 14.7 fantasy points.
Fortunately, the Dallas Cowboys are the gift that keeps on giving. The gap between them and the team allowing the second most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks continues to grow.
Herbert hasn't had a soft matchup in over a month. Granted, he's flopped in favorable spots before, but it quite literally does not get better than this. And for all his struggles, Herbert does have at least one touchdown pass in all but one game this season. My guess is he throws at least two against Dallas.

FAQ
What is the difference between 1QB and Superflex leagues?
No position impacts fantasy football strategy quite like the quarterback position. Sure, if you need three starting RBs instead of two, it impacts how you draft them, but not in the same way that adding the ability to start two quarterbacks does. A 1QB league is fairly self-explanatory, in that every team has to start one quarterback. That means in a 12-team league, there are always 12 quarterbacks starting each week, meaning the waiver wire is usually fairly well populated with backup options.
In Superflex leagues, that changes significantly. The Superflex spot allows you to start a player from any of the QB, RB, WR, or TE positions. Typically, that spot will see every team start a second quarterback most weeks, meaning that the value of the quarterback position increases significantly. Suddenly, you are not considering whether you should take one or two quarterbacks; the thinking switches to whether to take three or even four. Equally, you will often see upwards of five quarterbacks being drafted in the first round of a Superflex league, compared to at most one or two in a 1QB.
