#3 – Patrick Mahomes

Despite the Kansas City Chiefs losing superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill during the 2022 NFL offseason, Patrick Mahomes will, more than likely, rank among the best fantasy QBs in 2022. Mahomes has passed for over 35 touchdowns in three of his four seasons in the NFL. He has never ranked outside the top 10 in fantasy during the years he’s started in the league.

Mahomes will be able to rely on Travis Kelce, as well as new receivers in JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes Scantling and Skyy Moore. With Andy Reid as head coach, and the talent Mahomes has, he’s always got a shot at being at the top of the QB tree.

#2 – Justin Herbert

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has a chance to top his 367.64 fantasy points last year in 2022. Herbert finished the year as the second-best fantasy QB as he passed for 38 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, as well as rushing for another three scores.

Herbert topped 5,000 passing yards in just his second year in the league, and if he’s able to continue his development, he could easily top this list in 2023. Herbert has the ever-reliable Keenan Allen to throw to, as well as offensive studs Austin Ekeler and Mike Williams.

#1 – Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills v Carolina Panthers

Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills will take some beating to get knocked off the top spot of NFL Fantasy quarterbacks. Allen has been outstanding in both real life and fantasy over the last couple of seasons, passing for 36 touchdowns and rushing for another six in 2021.

To top this off, Allen set an NFL record of 149.0 passer rating in the 2021 playoffs, and if he keeps up this form in 2022, he will definitely finish the year as the best fantasy QB.

Allen will have superstar Stefon Diggs to throw to again in 2022, as well as Gabe Davis, who announced himself into the NFL with four touchdown catches against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional round.
