Quarterback rankings for dynasty leagues

Joe Burrow on fast track for stardom

Joe Burrow has looked pretty special in his first two starts. If you were starting a dynasty team from scratch, there aren’t many quarterbacks you would select ahead of him. About a half dozen, I think.

To me, it looks like there’s some Deshaun Watson in Burrow’s game. They’re going to let him work out of the shotgun often, with a host of receivers at his disposal. And he’s also got that feel for using his mobility. He doesn’t run quite like Watson, but Burrow will squirt forward at times to convert third downs and scamper into the end zone.

I’ve seen enough that if I were selecting a dynasty team (with everyone having the right to protect their rosters from year to year) I would select Burrow before established veterans like Matthew Stafford and Matt Ryan. Those guys are more productive passers right now, but Burrow is more mobile and is 8 and 11 years younger.

I’ve got Burrow slotted one spot behind the No. 1 pick chosen in the previous year (Kyler Murray). I think they’re both better passers than some of the other young quarterbacks around the league right now (most notably Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen).

I’ll try to hit a position for dynasty purposes each week, rotating between QB, RB, WR and TE.
