Redraft fantasy football leagues are months away, but it’s never too soon to start thinking about dynasty and who you should be eyeing for your team. 

Whether it’s a startup or your fifth year in a league, you always need to be thinking about the future of your team and how you can improve.

In standard redraft leagues, age doesn’t mean a thing unless you are focused on regression. In a dynasty league, age and skill level are imperative to have a successful roster. Offloading older players to teams in win-now mode could be the best thing for your team.

So who are the quarterbacks to target and fear in dynasty fantasy football this year? Is it Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, or Kirk Cousins?

Before we get into the top 10 dynasty quarterback rankings, let’s review the honorable mentions first.

15. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

14. Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts

13. Tua Tagovaiola, Miami Dolphins

12. Daniel Jones, New York Giants

11. Deshaun Watson, Cleveland Browns

So who ended up making it into the top 10 heading into the 2023 NFL Season and how does your team stack up compared to others?

. Lamar Jackson. 10. player. 26. .

Lamar Jackson cracks the top 10 for the first time since 2020

Lamar Jackson finally got his new contract signed and he is remaining with the Baltimore Ravens after a long battle with the front office that included a trade request.

This may seem a bit low for Jackson, who is one of the NFL’s biggest threats when it comes to running quarterbacks. He’s led the team in rushing for the last four years, averaging 935.5 yards per season and hitting 1,000 yards twice. That doesn’t even include the 19 touchdowns on the ground he has scored.

So what lands him at number 10? To keep it simple: longevity. Lamar has only played in 12 games the last two seasons due to various injuries. In fact, he hasn’t played every game in a season since 2018.

The Ravens quarterback finished as QB14 in 2022, QB15 in 2021, and QB10 in 2020. These are just average numbers for your starter because of his injury history.

If Lamar can finish the season playing all 17 games, he is easily a top 5 quarterback in the league. In 2019, he finished as QB1 after playing only 15 out of the 16 games that season.
