Top Players to Target or Avoid in PFSN’s 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Football QB Rankings
Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs (vs. HOU)
If you roster Patrick Mahomes, I sure hope you don’t need a big performance from him to make the playoffs this season. We know what this defense does to opposing quarterbacks, and it’s not pretty.
Mahomes is coming off his second-best outing of the season, posting 29 fantasy points against the No. 32-ranked Cowboys pass defense. Things couldn’t be more opposite this week against the best pass defense in the league.
No team allows fewer fantasy points per game to quarterbacks than the Houston Texans. It is actually incredibly fortunate for anyone who started Daniel Jones last week that he was able to get to 16 fantasy points. Houston still has not allowed a single quarterback post QB1 numbers against them.
Prior to last week, Mahomes had thrown one touchdown over his previous three games total. He will be lucky to get one against the Texans.
Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens (vs. PIT)
Never in a million years would I have thought I’d be putting Lamar Jackson in this column. After all, the entire purpose of this is to advise fantasy managers on players to start that aren’t necessarily automatic entries into lineups. Since 2019, Jackson has been that guy.
Jackson entered the 2025 season having never finished a single game in his career with single-digit fantasy points (excluding games he left with an injury). He’s now done it three consecutive times, failing to throw or rush for a touchdown over that span. It makes all the sense in the world that fantasy managers have had enough.
Maybe this is me clinging too much to my prior opinion of Jackson, but I refuse to believe that he is simply no longer good at football.
The Pittsburgh Steelers allow the sixth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. While they’ve historically played Jackson well, he lit them up for 175 yards passing, two touchdowns, and 81 yards rushing when they last met in the 2024 postseason.
Baltimore needs this game. They are at home. I am banking on a big-time bounce-back performance from the two-time MVP.

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.
