The Elite: Your QB1s
1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
Our number one spot goes to the reigning Super Bowl MVP, Patrick Mahomes. This guy is an absolute beast, and with the Chiefs' high-powered offense, he's always a safe bet. Mahomes is currently leading the league in passing yards and has thrown for 22 TDs in just seven games. Start 'em if you got 'em, guys!
2. Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks
Russell Wilson is having another phenomenal season, and he's showing no signs of slowing down. With a healthy DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, Wilson is putting up elite numbers week in and week out. He's currently second in passing TDs with 20 and has only thrown 2 INTs all season. Lock him in as your QB1.
3. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers is back, and he's better than ever. Despite the lack of a true WR1, Rodgers is making do with what he's got and is still producing top-tier fantasy numbers. He's thrown for 19 TDs and is on pace for another MVP-caliber season. Start him with confidence in week 8.
The Contenders: QB2s and Streaming Options
4. Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
Kyler Murray is a fantasy QB1 in his own right, but with the Cardinals' bye week in week 8, he might be on your bench. If you're streaming, though, Murray is an excellent option when he returns in week 9. He's thrown for 13 TDs and rushed for 3 more, making him a dual-threat QB.
5. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Josh Allen has been a bit inconsistent this season, but he's still a QB2 with streaming potential. With Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley as his top targets, Allen can put up big numbers on any given week. He's thrown for 12 TDs and has also rushed for 3. Keep an eye on his matchup before making a decision.
6. Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tom Brady is having a solid season in Tampa, and he's proven that age is just a number. He's thrown for 15 TDs and has a plethora of weapons to throw to. Brady is a safe streaming option, especially in plus matchups. Consider him if you're in a pinch in week 8.
The Sleepers: Deep League and Superflex Options
7. Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns
Baker Mayfield has been a bit of a disappointment this season, but he's still got the talent to turn things around. With Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt in the backfield, Mayfield has a solid ground game to lean on. If you're in a deep league or superflex, stash Mayfield and hope for the best.
8. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins
Tua Tagovailoa is the Dolphins' new starting QB, and he's shown promise in his limited action. With a weapons like DeVante Parker and Myles Gaskin, Tua has the potential to be a solid fantasy QB. Keep an eye on his progress and consider picking him up if he shows signs of life.
