The Denver backfield shakeup was the big story from Week 10. Elsewhere, teams continued to deal with the rash of wide receiver injuries, and new contributors emerged. 

The Dynasty staff gathered to work through multiple quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends who are the biggest risers or fallers in rankings. Check out the Footballguys Dynasty Football show with Jagger May and myself for more Dynasty content. We do three episodes weekly, discussing a variety of relevant Dynasty trends.

Dynasty Movement at Quarterback

Lamar Jackson, Baltimore

Andy Hicks: Seven years into the career of Jackson, you would think we would know his ceiling. He's still a lethal runner with the ball, but his performance as a passer warrants further attention. All his numbers are up - in his last six games, passing percentage, yardage, touchdowns, etc., his lowest passing yardage was 281 yards. He has thrown 19 touchdowns and only one interception. And he hasn’t had a rushing touchdown. And Diontae Johnson was acquired. He has to move to the number one slot. 

Caleb Williams, Chicago

Andy Hicks: Talk about a rocky year for the rookie. Things were on track until and including the Washington game. He was developing, and the team was winning. The last three games? Woof. The offensive coordinator was fired, the head coach was on the hot seat, and worst of all, some players in the locker room, including receivers, were asking for his backup to start. He is holding the ball too long, and the offensive line is phoning it in. Now what? A new head coach next year has a lot of work to do. Williams can still be a star, but the roadblocks are severe. 

Corey Spala: Williams simply has not been playing well. Multiple variables are attributed to his play: play calling, offensive line, and holding onto the ball for too long. I am not panicking about Williams, but rather, I am considering his current ranking. Williams has flashed his potential, but his current environment does not offer the opportunity for success. We want production paired with age, as the goal is to win in dynasty leagues. He is our current QB7, and I would rather have Joe Burrow (QB8) and, arguably, Kyler Murray (QB10). 

Bryce Young, Carolina

Hutchinson Brown: Whatever the Panthers did with Young in his handful of games on the bench worked. Young has found a new confidence and is running well on this offense. It has only been a few games, so remain cautiously optimistic, but he is slowly sneaking back up my dynasty ranks after being pushed down when this season started so poorly.

Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville

Ryan Weisse: It's hard to look at Jacksonville and think positively. While Lawrence is the 12th-best quarterback this season, he has been carried by three rushing touchdowns. He has one more rushing touchdown than Lamar Jackson on 63 fewer attempts. That's a fluke. If you take two of those touchdowns away, he falls to 20th. Based on his age and draft capital, I still had him as a Top-15 quarterback, but I no longer feel comfortable calling him a top option in Superflex. He is an average second quarterback and now ranks 19th in my dynasty rankings.

Bo Nix, Denver

Jason Wood: Over the last six weeks, Bo Nix has outperformed Jayden Daniels as a fantasy quarterback, yet neither his redraft nor dynasty value reflects this improvement. While I’m not suggesting Nix should be ranked alongside Daniels, the current gap doesn't match the evidence. Nix is running Sean Payton's offense effectively; he's a legitimate rushing threat and putting up impressive points despite Denver's lackluster receiving corps. If the Broncos strengthen their receiver and tight end groups in the offseason, Nix has the potential to become a consistent top-12 fantasy quarterback.

Daniel Jones, NY Giants

Jason Wood: I was already less optimistic about Daniel Jones than the consensus, so this development doesn't change my perspective as much as it might for others. We're nearing the end of Jones' tenure as the Giants' starter, and he'll likely sign with another team as a backup in 2025. Even if he joins a team as a potential starter, it would be a non-contender seeking a temporary solution. Therefore, considering Jones a viable asset in dynasty leagues was questionable and is now untenable.

Sam Darnold, Minnesota

Matthew Montgomery: It appears the real Darnold has stood up. I still believe that Darnold retains value on the market, but it isn’t near as much as his first six weeks would have had us believe. While he still has one of the best offensive coaches in football, he still resorts to the reckless play that has seen him bounce from team to team, and the Vikings will more than likely pivot to McCarthy next season depending on his health, which admittedly has been worse than previously thought.
