Fantasy Football: Redraft Quarterback Rankings

When it comes to redraft fantasy football leagues getting your pre-draft rankings correct can be the difference between ending the season a winner or playing the “what if” game. Quarterback rankings are especially important dependent on your redraft league’s format. In Superflex or 2QB formats, the value of all of the quarterbacks gets pushed up. Then you have to factor in how many points you get for a passing touchdown, four or six, as that also alters the value of the pocket passers compared to the more mobile options.

Those rankings make decisions on draft day easier, especially if you decide to use a tiers system. It then becomes easy to scan across all of the positions and determine which position is the one you need to take with each selection before the next drop off in talent occurs. If there are still five players left in your tier of quarterbacks and you have four selections between you and your next pick, you can look somewhere else, knowing that a player of equal talent will still be available at your next pick.

The 2020 redraft quarterback rankings below are based off of a standard league set up of:

  • 4 points per passing touchdown
  • 0.04 points per passing yard
  • -1 point per interception
  • 6 points per rushing touchdown
  • 0.1 points per rushing yard

In the text below the article will be highlighted any significant changes between these rankings and leagues with six points per passing touchdown. For any advice on other custom scoring settings please get in touch @benrolfe15 on Twitter
