| Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | He's magic. I don't think there is another word to describe how electric Mahomes is. Lock him in for 5000 yards and 35 touchdowns, and he comes in as my QB3 for this season. | Joe Shiesty slides in as not only the coolest QB on the list but also the sixth for fantasy purposes. Burrow carries all the ability of the top five but is limited due to his lack of rushing. He has the best WR core in the league and the team continues to bolster their offensive line. He's a locked-in top-10 QB for fantasy purposes and could easily crack the top five. |
| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | Mahomes II is really good. I would draft him. How's that for fantasy analysis? Haha! Okay, here's a little more to chew on. He has a pretty good crew around him. Kadarius Toney should have a much bigger role on offense in 2023. He's had all offseason to get familiar with the playbook. Note- Andy Reid is known for having one of the most complex offenses in the league. Toney just needs to stay healthy. Skyy Moore should also play a bigger role for the same reason regarding the playbook. And if free agent DeAndre Hopkins signs in Kansas City- lookout! They might break the scoreboard. The concerns I have: Will the loss of LT Orlando Brown be problematic for Mahomes II? The Chiefs signed veteran Donovan Smith to replace Brown. However, Smith struggled last year in Tampa Bay. Injuries factored into his poor performance. Second, Patrick's brother is in some legal trouble. Will the stress from that situation affect his play? Athletes are people too folks. That said, Mahomes II is really good. I'd still draft him haha! Hey, where else are you going to get that kind of fantasy insight except from Mark Ringo? I mean, they should build statues of me and pay homage to my fantasy greatness haha! | The free agent signing of Orlando Brown should pay dividends for Joe Burrow and the Bengals' offense. Brown will fortify Burrow's blind side at left tackle. This should permeate throughout the offense. If Burrow has time, he'll slice up defenses like the head of the household slices up a turkey on Thanksgiving. There hasn't been this much excitement in Cincinnati since the great turkey giveaway promotion by legendary sitcom radio station WKRP. Famous last words, it should have worked. I planned this QB ranking down to the last detail. As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly haha! -Ringo "The Big Guy" Carlson |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | Averaged 4791 passYds, 38 passTD, 300+ rushYds past 5 seasons - J. Herbert only other QB in NFL history to reach all those marks in same season | |
| Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | Arguably the best pure passer to ever play in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes enters his age-28 season at the height of his powers. Mahomes led all players in fantasy scoring last season with 428.4 points, giving him his second QB1 finish. In his five full seasons as a starter, Mahomes has averaged 303 passing yards and 23.95 fantasy points per game. Playing his first season without WR Tyreek Hill, who left for Miami, Mahomes finished the 2022 season with a career-high 5,250 passing yards and a league-high 41 TD passes. Mahomes is the safest bet you can make at quarterback. | Brimming with swag and surrounded by ample pass-catching weaponry, Joe Burrow has firmly established himself as a premium fantasy quarterback. Burrow finished QB4 in fantasy scoring last season after throwing a career-high 35 TD passes. Over the last two years, Burrow has completed 69.3% of his throws, averaging 8.1 yards per attempt. He added some value with his legs in 2022, running for five touchdowns. Burrow gets to throw to the fabulous WR duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and the Bengals have made significant investments in their offensive line. Burrow will be a consensus top-five QB in 2023 fantasy drafts. |
| Tera Roberts Dynasty Vipers | Averaged 25.9 PPG on the season. The Chiefs would have to draft or trade for a big name receiver for me to push him above Hurts. | Safe option but I prefer to take the risk of a higher ceiling with Jackson and Fields. |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Patrick Mahomes led the league with 5,250 yards passing and 41 passing TDs. He also had 35 yards rushing and 4 rushing TDs. Mahomes is among the most consistent fantasy performers in the NFL and an elite QB1. | Burrow finished the season with 4,475 yard and 35 TDs. He plays on one of the best offenses in the NFL and he is elite fantasy QB1. |
