Generally we find that good to elite offenses have a quality quarterback under center. Whether you are looking for efficiency stats or simple yards and touchdowns, you can find it here. Sort by attempts and yards to find your high volume aerial attacks. Completion% and quarterback rating can lead you to the more efficient quarterbacks in the game. With fantasy football being driven from passing games, stats like 300+ yard games, and yards per attempt are important. In addition to passing stats, rushing stats are provided for the dual-threat quarterbacks, as well as

There are a lot of quarterback stats to break down, both rushing and passing. Quarterbacks are going to be strong in one department and weak in another. Flipping through this page, all these stats might seem overwhelming. Starting from the left on the passing tab, you are going to see the Lineups Rating, which is a unique formula based on stats. Games played will show you how much the quarterback has played each season, and that means simply getting a snap. If a player plays one half, it will still count as a game played. Completions and attempts are going to be stats that showcase a quarterback’s volume. The amount of attempts is going to be broken down into attempts per game and overall attempts. The higher passing teams will have quarterbacks that throw more attempts.
After that, we are getting into yards and what they are doing with those attempts. You can see the number of passing yards, and also the number of 300+ passing yard games a quarterback game has. If you are curious as to why that number is the mark, we have seen a lot of fantasy leagues use that as a bonus, but also this is just the standard mark where quarterbacks hit 200 passing yards often, and 400 yards very few. The 300+ yard mark is a sweet spot. After this, you are going to get into the completion percentage, which shows how often a quarterback is completing their passes. Stats like yards per attempt and yards per completion are going to show how effective a quarterback is.
Touchdowns and interceptions are the obvious quarterback stats of this table, and then we get into quarterback rating. This is a stat developed by ESPN and is an overall rating for a quarterback. You can also see the quarterback’s longest touchdown pass, which range can range a wide variety. You can also see what quarterbacks are dealing with pass rushes more than others, as sack stats and sack yards. Fumbles can also be a big issue for quarterbacks, and some have trouble hanging onto the ball in the pocket or roaming around if they are more mobile quarterbacks.
Switching the dropdown to rushing stats is going to bring you into solely just rushing numbers for a quarterback. Of course, some quarterbacks are going to be more productive here than others. Check out who is dominating in attempts, and how efficient they are with yards for attempts. Very few quarterbacks will hit the 100+ yard rushing mark in a game, but there are a few who often hit that mark. The long is the same thing as passing where it shows their longest run. If you are looking for rushing quarterbacks, sort through attempts per game to help narrow down what quarterbacks are rushing more than others.
Snaps are a way of breaking down how often a player is on the field. Under the snaps, the tab will show you how many offensive snaps a player has played. Quarterbacks will often have consistent snaps unless a player gets injured or a team makes a change at the position. Under the fantasy drop down, you will see how many fantasy points and fantasy points per game a quarterback is scoring for the selected season. With each site having different scoring, these numbers could change.
Top Passing QuarterbacksWhile there are some older quarterbacks playing their last few years, and we have seen some elite ones, there is a young crop coming in to try and fill those shoes. We can start with Pat Mahomes, who has been one of the top quarterbacks since being drafted. With a Super Bowl ring already under his belt, he also has a 50+ passing touchdown season in there as well. Playing in a high flying Kansas City offense, with plenty of weapons, Mahomes should carry the quarterbacks over the next ten years. Russell Wilson has turned into one of the top quarterbacks in the league, and does it mostly with his arm, but he is also a very mobile quarterback. Wilson generally finds himself over the 4,000 yard mark each year, and hovers around 30 touchdowns. Wilson is another younger quarterback with a Super Bowl ring under his belt, and could have had two.
Now the older quarterbacks are going to be out of the league soon, but names like Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady still have a stranglehold on the position. Brees has been one of the more accurate passers the game has seen, often finding himself around a 70% completion percentage mark year in and year out. While he is not in the high octane Saints offense that was throwing 40 times a game, he has adapted to the new style of offense, which fits him now that he is a bit older. Rodgers has been screaming for weapons to throw to, but he is still one of the top arms in the game. He is an effective quarterback, and has worked with what he has been given. The days of Tom Brady in New England are over, but Brady has still been an efficient quarterback, even though he is not in his prime.
The Atlanta Falcons have had a big time pass offense, and Matt Ryan has been at the center of it for a while now. He is still pumping out monster seasons and the volume certainly helps. Ryan is often top five in pass attempts, but his numbers are steady each season. Say what you want about Kirk Cousins, but the man puts up solid numbers each season. While he may not be at the tiers of the others, he is a strong true pocket passer. Whether that was in Washington or Minnesota, the numbers have been there.
Just because a quarterback is mobile, doesn’t mean they are a true rushing quarterback. We have seen that with Russell Wilson, who has transitioned more into a true passing quarterback over the last year or two. Dak Prescott has done that in Dallas, where he puts up rushing numbers, but his passing numbers are still among some of the best. Prescott is a talented young arm, and has a great receiving core around him that certainly helps out a bit. Prescott has a big arm and also is strong in the red zone with his legs. The same goes for Deshaun Watson, who has overcome a major injury and when healthy been one of the top quarterbacks in the game. Watson can make plays with his legs, but doesn’t completely rely on them.
When we think of mobile quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson is likely the first one you think of right now. He produced over 1,000 yards on the ground in his first full season as a starter, but it didn’t end there. He is also a strong passer, even though the volume is not as high as some of the others. Jackson posted elite numbers overall, and in our fantasy world he was one of the best values, but that will change as he is now established as a top quarterback in this league. A guy that is coming into his own is Kyler Murray out in
For the second year in a row, Matt Ryan led the league in pass attempts and pass attempts per game. He had 626 and averaged 39 per game. Given the Falcons offense and the way their defense played, no surprise to see Ryan leading the league.
Deshaun Watson had the most 300+ yard games this season with 10. He led the league in passing yards and Houston's defense continuously put the offense in spots where they needed to air it out each week.
Aaron Rodgers led the league in passing touchdowns with 48. He had a 9.1 touchdown percentage and won the 2020 MVP. Rodgers posted one of his best seasons in quite some time and showed he isn't near the end.
Aaron Rodgers had the highest completion percentage in 2020. He finished with 70.7%. completion percentage. He was one of three quarterbacks who had over a 70% completion percentage in 2020.
Leading in many categories, Aaron Rodgers also led in quarterback rating at 84.3. He led th league in touchdowns and completion percentage. He also threw just five interceptions.
Lamar Jackson had the most rushing yards among quarterbacks, and it wasn’t even close. He had 1,005 rushing yards, and had seven total rushing touchdowns. He averaged 6.3 yards per carry, and rushed for over 159 times with the Baltimore Ravens.
Kyler Murray had the most rushing touchdowns of any quarterback. He had 11 rushing touchdowns, and the Arizona Cardinals ran him the second most times among quarterbacks. He had 133 rushing attempts, and averaged 6.2 yards per carry over 2020.
