Who is the QB1 of the 2027 Class?

Tier 3 QBs
Jayden Maiava (QB – USC) 

I think that Jayden Maiava is mostly just a product of Lincoln Riley’s quarterback-friendly offense and lacks any real NFL traits. He struggles under pressure, turns the ball over far too much, and lacks creativity when a play breaks down. I won’t deny that he has the size and production profile to be on this list, but he’s not someone I’m targeting in devy formats. 

Drake Lindsey (QB – Minnesota)

I see why Lindsey is getting so much hype in devy circles. He’s a pro-style quarterback with excellent size and elite arm talent, can push the ball down the field with relative ease, and impressed as a processor in his first year as a starter. All that considered, he’s still a projections-based bet, and as a redshirt sophomore, I imagine he’ll spend two more years in college. 

Trinidad Chambliss (QB – Ole Miss)

Chambliss really impressed in his first year at the D1 level, throwing for nearly 4,000 yards with only three interceptions. He can play off-platform, has above-average arm talent, and the rushing upside to be genuinely excited about from a fantasy perspective. My biggest concern is that he fought so hard for a sixth year of college eligibility when the 2025 quarterback class was so weak. Because of that, I question the true NFL ceiling.

DFF Expert Devy Rankings 20-11

Just like that, we’ve made it to Part 4 of 5 in our Expert Devy Rankings series. If you missed any of the first three editions, you can view those by clicking any of the links below: 

These consensus ranks are an average between me and @Evan_Kerr_, and are a snapshot as of April 7, 2026. As a reminder, all of these values are based on a Superflex, Tight End Premium league format. Time to see who came in at the 20th overall spot. 

20. Dante Moore (QB – Oregon)

  • Jim’s rank – 13th
  • Evan’s rank – 25th
  • QB7 overall

Dante Moore is headed back to Eugene for one final season after a surprising decision not to declare for the 2026 NFL Draft. I know he’ll be earning a lucrative NIL deal this coming season, but he seemingly passed up on a guaranteed $50 million, assuming he would have gone 2nd overall to the Jets or 3rd overall to the Cardinals. 

He now puts himself in a difficult spot, where the 2027 class has the potential to be absolutely loaded at the quarterback position. Still, Moore displays several NFL-level traits, including accuracy to all three levels, a quick release, and the ability to feel pressure in the pocket and adjust. His lack of rushing upside limits his fantasy ceiling, but it feels likely he’ll at least get a shot to prove he’s starting material in the NFL. 

19. Justice Haynes (RB – Georgia Tech)

  • Jim’s rank – 10th
  • Evan’s rank – 27th
  • RB3 overall

Another prospect who shocked us by electing to stay in the college ranks is Justice Haynes, who recently transferred from Michigan to Georgia State. Similar to Moore, this decision was a head-scratcher, given the lack of talent at his position in this draft class. 

Haynes was off to a blazing start in the 2025 season, surpassing 100 rush yards and finding the endzone in six of seven contests. He was averaging a robust 7.1 yards per attempt (YPA) and a 50% breakaway rate before suffering a foot injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Haynes underwent tightrope surgery and is reportedly ready for spring ball now. I’m eager to see how this Georgia Tech offense looks without Haynes King. It appears Fernando’s little brother, Alberto Mendoza, will be under center in 2026 for the Yellow Jackets. I’m hoping Haynes can expand his role as a pass catcher, with only 30 career receptions to his name. 

Henry jr

18. Chris Henry Jr. (WR – Ohio State)

  • Jim’s rank – 20th
  • Evan’s rank – 17th
  • WR10 overall

Chris Henry Jr. comes in as our Devy WR10 overall and my WR1 of the freshman class. He heads to “Wide Receiver U” where he’ll have an opportunity to make an immediate impact and learn from Jeremiah Smith, arguably the greatest college wide receiver prospect we’ve ever seen. 

Henry is a natural athlete with a fluid running motion, almost gliding across the field at times. At 6’5” and 210 pounds, he’s a massive guy who projects to be purely a boundary receiver at the NFL level. He shows excellent burst and acceleration, and strong, confident hands at the catch point. And if you think the name sounds familiar, yes, Henry Jr. is the son of

Cam Coleman: The Frustration Is Over

If Cam Coleman frustrated you last season, you weren’t imagining it. The talent showed up in flashes, but the week-to-week production never really settled in. Between the quarterback play and everything going on at Auburn, it was hard to know what you were really watching from one game to the next. That’s how good players end up getting pushed to the side. Not because they aren’t talented, but because the situation never lets the truth come through. That’s where Cam was. And that’s why it’s time to reset how we’re looking at him.

Arch Manning

The Prodigy: Arch Manning, QB Texas Longhorns

Arch Manning isn’t just a name; he’s a legacy. Born into NFL royalty, Arch is the third-generation quarterback in the iconic Manning family and carries a bloodline synonymous with football greatness. But make no mistake, Arch is writing his own story. Arch is as gritty as his grandfather Archie, as brilliant as his Uncle Peyton, and as clutch as his Uncle Eli. He’s more agile than any of the Mannings before him, with his father’s athleticism and his unique blend of charisma, poise, and competitiveness. He has “it,” that intangible spark. Electric in the pocket, calm under pressure, and a natural leader, Arch isn’t just living up to the Manning name; he might just surpass it.

Projecting 2027 Dynasty Ranks: Quarterback

In Dynasty Fantasy Football, there’s an added layer of strategy that Redraft formats can’t provide. Creating a team with longevity that can compete year in and year out is the ultimate goal. It’s essential to look beyond the current season and understand where our assets are trending in the long run. Dynasty is very much a player-value game; if you can master the art of buying low and selling high, you can accrue roster value consistently. With the concept of longevity in mind, I wanted to project what the Dynasty landscape will look like two years from today. Which players will make up the Top 12 from each position as we head into the 2027 season? This exercise should help us identify the top ascending assets in college and the NFL today. It should also tell us which players we may want to consider moving in the next year or two. This series will be broken into four parts for each fantasy position. All my rankings will be based on a Dynasty, Superflex, Tight End Premium format with four-point passing touchdowns. We’ll start with the quarterback position for this article.

The Devy Forecast: Quarterbacks

It should come as no surprise that last year’s Heisman winner slots in at the top of the QB Devy list. Caleb Williams is a special talent that has his skills fully on display last year at USC. Had he been healthy toward the end of the season USC would’ve easily secured a playoff birth. But alas, that was not meant to be. Williams is a QB that can do magnificent things on a football field and he should dominate the NCAA again in 2023.
