Quarterback Aaron Rodgers of Green Bay leads a talented mixture of experienced pros and new faces on the first team of 2020 All-Fantasy players.

Aaron Rodgers, a 16-year NFL veteran, was selected fantasy football’s most valuable player (MVP) in a FanSided article earlier this month.  He staved off 2nd team quarterback Josh Allen of Buffalo to become the MVP and played in the Green Bay Packers 31-26 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers yesterday in the NFC Championship game.

The selection of players on the first, second, and third All-Fantasy teams was based on fantasy football statistics.  Key variables included fantasy football points (FFP), average points per game, touchdowns, interceptions, and fumbles.

Notable Absences

Kyler Murray finished fourth among quarterbacks due in part to his being injured in the second half of the season.  Patrick Mahomes had eight points more than Murray. Ezekiel Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys finished No. 51 in the final rankings of all offensive players.  Elliott rushed for 979 yards, scored 8 touchdowns, but also lost 5 fumbles this year. Tom Brady may not be on any of the All-Fantasy teams for 2020, but he still finished as a Tier 1 quarterback.
