Devy Fantasy Football Prospect Rankings: Quarterbacks (2024)

If you’re looking for a dynasty league on steroids, you might want to consider joining a devy league. Devy was first created in the 1990s by Scott Fish of Scott Fish Bowl fame, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular formats in fantasy football.

In devy leagues, you draft college prospects and stash them until they declare for the NFL Draft. Unlike the Campus2Canton (C2C) format, you don’t score any fantasy points from your prospects’ college production. Instead, you secure their rights for the future.

Devy fantasy football leagues aren’t for the weak and require more research than your standard dynasty league, but I highly recommend the format for those looking for a deeper experience. If you do the work, you can build superteams and create a massive advantage over your league mates.

Devy Fantasy Football Prospect Rankings: Quarterbacks

Devy Fantasy Football 101

As noted above, devy leagues have a built-in minor league for your dynasty team. Each league is different, but the majority require each prospect to be enrolled in college. That means you can’t draft the local high school product you saw dominating on Friday night.

However, you can draft true freshmen like Jeremiah Smith, Micah Hudson, and Ryan Williams. Just make sure to pay close attention to your particular league settings. Some leagues will have unlimited devy roster spots, while others might have you limited to only a few devy prospects each. Drafting all true freshmen would lock your roster in place for at least three years and severely limit your flexibility and depth.

Devy Quarterback Prospects

Georgia’s Carson Beck, the current betting favorite to go No.1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, is the safest quarterback selection for those needing more immediate help at the position. Fellow 2025 draft-eligible quarterbacks such as Quinn Ewers, Shedeur Sanders, Jalen Milroe, and Conner Weigman (among others) are hoping to challenge for that top spot, but it is Beck’s to lose at this point in the process.

For those willing to wait an extra year, Tennessee’s Nico Iamaleava is fully expected to catapult into stardom this upcoming season. The sophomore signal-caller sat behind sixth-round draft pick Joe Milton for most of last season, but Iamaleava looked the part in his limited reps.

Iamaleava is in a quarterback-friendly offense that should maximize his talents. He has the size, athleticism, and arm talent to make a real impact in the SEC and beyond.

Fellow 2026 draft-eligible quarterbacks like Dante Moore (UCLA to Oregon) and Malachi Nelson (USC to Boise State) changed schools this offseason, but their talent is worth the gamble. Meanwhile, the true freshman class is headlined by Florida’s DJ Lagway, Ohio State’s Julian Sayin, and Nebraska’s Dylan Raiola.
