The month of July is here, which means fantasy football managers are preparing for their drafts. Assuming we have football, the next few months will be vital in preparation as the league faces an unprecedented season.
There have already been a few moves to shake up the outlook for certain players in fantasy football. The latest came in the form of the New England Patriots signing Cam Newton to a one-year deal. Though he will have to compete for the starting job, he should take over pretty easily as long as his injuries haven’t hindered his game.
With that new information—and assuming Cam takes the starting role from Jarrett Stidham—here’s a look at my updated quarterback rankings in fantasy football:
A few changes from the last time I published my rankings:
- Patrick Mahomes takes over the top spot from Lamar Jackson, though they are separated by .3 points in four-point scoring projections.
- Newton comes in at QB14 for now. His upside is tremendous if he can take the starting role right away. However, there will be a concern with the coronavirus keeping him from the field with his teammates. It’s better to temper expectations given the restrictions around the league right now, especially when it comes to a quarterback joining a new team.
- Baker Mayfield moved up a few spots after tweaking the Browns projections this week.
