Below you will find my stab at overall rankings for 2QB dynasty fantasy football start-up drafts. You can view our TwoQBs staff quarterback dynasty rankings here.
There’s no mention of rookies. I believe it’s too early to project rookie rankings. We’re still over two months away from the 2016 NFL Draft, and until we see where each prospect is selected I’ll avoid including them in an overall set of 2QB dynasty rankings.
Rankings are a loose guideline to follow along with during your draft. We all value players differently and go our own paths when drafting. Some 2QBers like to wait on the quarterback position, while others prefer the security of nabbing two elite signal callers early. I don’t recommend following these rankings beat-for-beat during your draft, but rather as one piece of the 2QB drafting puzzle.
I also have some 2QB dynasty musings I put virtual pen to virtual paper on, dissecting 2QB dynasty ADP, you can use as a companion piece to my rankings. Enjoy and feel free to disagree in the comments section.

I know this was mostly about the positioning of QBs within the top 200, but I couldn’t help but notice older WRs like Jordy Nelson (38), Brandon Marshall (52), Eric Decker (65) and Calvin Johnson (69) ranked pretty highly. Well ahead of guys like Keenan Allen (76) and DeVante Parker (95).
Calvin Johnson, with his current uncertain status, probably should be ranked below all of them. I still think there is a place for vets in dynasty leagues, and those guys have consistent proven track records. Allen is a young guy who has produced, and I would have no qualms with wanting to take him over the others. Parker’s potential is great, but I’d rather have the known commodities. Great thing about fantasy is how we all value everyone differently, and you could make a case to re-rank all those players, really.
