Guys, explore more in Guides And Explainers and qb fantasy rankings this week.

Top Tier: The Elite

1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

Mahomes is back, and he's ready to remind everyone why he's the reigning Super Bowl MVP. With a plethora of weapons at his disposal, including Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, Mahomes is primed for another monster season. He's our top QB in fantasy this week, facing a porous Las Vegas Raiders defense that just gave up 31 points and 3 TDs to Joe Burrow.

2. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Rodgers is still Rodgers, and he's looking to prove that last year was no fluke. With Davante Adams and a healthy Aaron Jones, Rodgers has all the tools he needs to light up the scoreboard. This week, he faces the Detroit Lions, who gave up 38 points to Matthew Stafford last week. Rodgers is a must-start in all formats.

3. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Allen is off to a hot start, throwing for 417 yards and 4 TDs in Week 1. He's got a great matchup this week against the Miami Dolphins, who just gave up 36 points to the New England Patriots. Allen's rushing ability makes him a top-3 QB in all formats, even in PPR leagues.

Second Tier: The Solid Starters

4. Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Brady looked sharp in Week 1, throwing for 379 yards and 4 TDs. He's got a tough matchup this week against the Atlanta Falcons, but Brady's experience and weapons (Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Rob Gronkowski) make him a solid QB2. In PPR, Brady's value increases with all those pass-catching options.

5. Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks

Wilson got off to a slow start in Week 1, but he's still Russell Wilson. He's got a great matchup this week against the Tennessee Titans, who just gave up 38 points to the Arizona Cardinals. Wilson's rushing ability makes him a top-5 QB in standard leagues, but he drops a bit in PPR due to Seattle's run-heavy offense.

6. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams

Stafford looked fantastic in his Rams debut, throwing for 321 yards and 3 TDs. He's got a tough matchup this week against the Indianapolis Colts, but Stafford's weapons (Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, Van Jefferson) make him a solid QB2.

Third Tier: The Streaming Options

In PPR, Winston's value increases with Kamara's pass-catching ability.

8. Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee Titans

Tannehill got off to a slow start in Week 1, but he's still a capable fantasy QB. He's got a tough matchup this week against the Seattle Seahawks, but Tannehill's rushing ability makes him a viable streaming option. In PPR, Tannehill's value increases with Derrick Henry's pass-catching ability.
