Fantasy Football Off-Season Movement: 2024 Quarterback Landscape

Each off-season, I track team needs and the players most likely to fill those needs in a chart like this. In the coming weeks and months, NFL teams will have multiple opportunities to fill those holes, namely the March free agency period and April’s NFL Draft.

In this series, I’ll go position-by-position looking at teams in need, along with the veterans and rookies who could eventually fill the blanks on the chart below. Let’s start with the quarterbacks.

Last off-season was all about Lamar Jackson, which eventually became much ado about nothing as no team was willing to pony up for the presumed 2023 NFL MVP. Oops. Now, some of those same teams that should’ve been looking to upgrade their quarterback spot a year ago will be stuck with much worse options.

Team Needs

Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons continued to invest in their offense last off-season, drafting running back Bijan Robinson and essentially going all-in on second-year quarterback Desmond Ridder. The results were not good. Now, the team is looking for a new head coach and will be looking for a quarterback who can help them win now. With a solid defense and some of the most talented playmakers in the league, Atlanta should follow the Jets path of last year and look for a veteran who can turn them into an instant contender in the league’s worst division.
