As the NFL training camp season heats up, fantasy football enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the outcome of quarterback competitions in several teams. In the world of dynasty fantasy football, the quarterback position is crucial, and the rankings can change significantly based on these competitions.

Quarterback Competitions Heating Up

With the start of training camp, several quarterback competitions have come into focus. In Kansas City and Indianapolis, Patrick Mahomes and Daniel Jones are expected to be cleared for action by Week 1, but any delay in their return may not significantly impact their dynasty value. In Las Vegas, the competition between Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza is ongoing, with Klint Kubiak expected to make a decision soon. In Miami and Arizona, Malik Willis and Jacoby Brissett are assumed to win their respective competitions, leaving Minnesota, Atlanta, and Cleveland as the teams with significant quarterback competitions.

Quarterback Battles in Minnesota and Atlanta

In Minnesota, the competition between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy is heating up, with Murray ranked six spots ahead of McCarthy in the dynasty quarterback rankings. Despite McCarthy’s five-year age advantage, Murray’s rushing ability and Kevin O’Connell’s history with reclamation projects make him an attractive option. In Atlanta, Tua Tagovailoa is ranked four spots ahead of Michael Penix, despite Penix’s two-year age advantage. Tagovailoa’s ability to deliver short, on-target throws to Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson makes him a solid QB2 option this year.

Quarterback Competition in Cleveland

The quarterback competition in Cleveland between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson is the most intriguing, with Sanders currently ranked higher than Watson. Despite Watson’s 19 games in Cleveland and his significant salary, the team may want to give him one more chance. However, Sanders’ potential to benefit from the additions of Todd Monken, KC Concepcion, and Denzel Boston make him an attractive option. The winner of this competition is unlikely to be a starter in a Superflex league, but the loser may be a good cheap buy if you believe both quarterbacks will play this year.
